The Make Up

The 6 following looks I put on Facebook -

The feedback I had from my friends and family on facebook gave me confidence to become Shades of Holly.....Thanku xx

1. Blended Pinks with a contrasting Green.

Sorry the picture quality isn't great, but this is from Cake Girls halloween party.

(After some not so funny comments from charming young men about my 'mono-brow'. I feel the urge to say, this was meant to look like a bat in the night sky)

3.Golden Yellow & Ash Green

4.Blended Greens with a Black cut crease

5.The inspiration for this look came from the false lashes on their own, which I bought from New Look ages ago and never had the opportunity to wear.

Now this one is a favorite of mine.

This was completely improvised on the spot, but the best part is the colours were picked from my little boy's Postman Pat pyjamas...yellow,red,green and blue x

After I posted this last picture on Facebook I received a private message from a old college friend. He asked me if I'd be interested in doing his make up for the dance scene's, in a spoof of Cheryl Cole's fight for this love video. If it does come out I will post the link on here for any one who might like to see.

Well that's me done, hopefully I will pick up the courage to do a live YouTube video soon. Just have to get over the fear of hearing my own voice but after 25 years of hating it, it's not going to be easy.

With The Encouragement of a Special Friend

This is the shut version of my Profile Picture.

After the encouragement of my special friend know as Cake Girl in the land of bloggers, who introduced me the the world of youtube make up. Where I became a fan of make up artists such and QueenofBlendingMUA, MakeupByTiffanyD, pixiwoo and of course panacea81. I decided that I would like to share some of the, maybe crazy at times, make up I love to put on. Being the wimp that I am, I first posted this pic on my facebook page. Followed by 6 more looks including one from Cake Girls Halloween/B'day fancy dress party.
