AH! Just a little side note!
I've just been exposed to Eyeko make up! The range is really small but they have some great little bits and bobs!
The magic eyeliner allows you to use ANY eyeshadow in your make-up collection and turn it into an eyeliner!! Something I've always dreamed about! Their prices are really good and for just a little treat I think this company is the way to go!

Cheeks of Blush
Okie so apparently blusher is going to be big this S/S 2010. So make sure you've got it stocked up!!!
I'm going to do a real indepth look at blusher with some exaggerated photographs to help explain what I mean! I saw a recent news article, which explained how some women do their blusher. However, due to it being well blended etc (As you would expect) it wasn't clear what they were explaining through the words and pictures! So I'm going to try and do a little bit better!
However. I'll babble for a bit now!
So many people ask 'What colour of blusher is best for me'. So I'll answer it here!
If you have a cool skin tone, so for example you are porcelain and do not tan. Pinks are generally the way to go!
If you are light skinned but do tan, you can get away with more browny colours.
Medium to Dark skin can get away with either pink or brown. I find brown is more natural, but either works. I saw a very ebony women in Birmingham the other day with beautiful pink blusher on which just seemed to work!! But I've also seen some seriously over tanned girls with pink blusher on and =/ It's not a much better job than the airbrushed pink blusher you get on Barbie Dolls!!
So have a little play around and see what you prefer.
If you want a little glisten when you're going out try finding a very fine body glitter that can be applied to the cheekbones to give a little 'glow' =D I like using it when I go out clubbing to draw a bit of light to the tops of my cheekbones as I don't really have any!!
Hope this helps!
I'll post the full article in a few days!

A Blast of Colour
Colour is either something you use alot or are a bit shy about. It seems people are one way or the other. However, now is the chance to try some new colours!
I came up with a few phunky looks. Remember. Despite all the rubbish about specific colours for specific eye colours or skin tone, generally most people can get away with pretty much any colour providing you use the right tone! Just have confidence in your judgement!
Here's a look I did with pink and black
It really easy to do!
Place some tape along your eye in a very steep angle on the outer edge of the eye. (This makes a sharp line)
Apply a colour of your choice (I chose pink) to the whole of the lid and then a little bit further above the crease and to the edge of the tape.
Then using black or a contrasting colour stroke above the crease, on the colour you've already placed to get a darker edge.
Remove the tape and apply a line of eyeliner if you wish.
Done!
Easy as that!
Make sure you blend them well.
It's great for giving a natural look a bit of edge. So try it with neutral colours or a blast of colour and see what you can come up with!
Catch you later!

A Little Eyeliner Update
Okie so the spring fashion seems like it's going to be dandy old eyeliner!
To get a natural simple look apply a thick line (Thick is the fashion) of eyeliner to the top lid. Leave the rest of the eye bare, bar some mascara.
If you have dark eyes conseal both the upper and darker lid to give that very natural, even toned skin the celebrities have. Just remember to not over do it!
A very natural but gorgeous look!
Angelina Jolie has been using this look for a while and now it's caught on.
