Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks

The Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks in Shades Bronze and Pink Quartz both She Beauty Award Winners of 2011 have being a constant addition to my Professional Make Up Kit.

Both pallets work wanders in so many ways, you can apply to the cheeks as a Bronzer or Highlighter, you can apply as a eye shadow and they are also great for shimmering up the décolletage area or any body part for that matter. I have used this on my arms and chest area. One thing is for certain you can be sure to look like a beautiful goddess after applying the shimmer bricks.

The bronze pallet is great for applying all over the face, were the light naturally hits so the cheeks, nose, and a touch on the forehead and chin. Both the Bronze and Pink Quartz pallet are great for the décolletage area.

Personally I do not apply the Pink Quartz Pallet all over my face I keep this one more for the cheeks, eyes and décolletage.  If you also apply this pallet over your normally pink blusher you will find you achieve a more intense colour with a lovely highlight on top.

 I use an angled contouring brush for the cheeks, brush over the apples of the cheeks and up to the hairline. For bronzing I use a larger bronzing brush this is great for covering more areas of your face. The best way to obtain a bronzed look is to start at the middle of your forehead and come down to your cheeks then out again towards your hairline then down the side of your jaw line and chin, so in a number three shape.

If you looking for a highlighter, bronzer, eye shadow and body shimmer all rolled into one then grab yourselves a Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick, why purchase 3-4 separate products when you can have them all rolled into one.

The bricks also come in shades:

Ltd Edition Rose Gold

Ltd Edition Wild Rose

Nectar Shimmer Brick

Rose Shimmer Brick

Beige Shimmer Brick

Strawberry's and Cream

So today I re created a Strawberry's and cream look which was inspired to me by one of my favourite make up artists Karla Powell, her work is amazing. I get so much inspiration from her.

Below is the look I re created, I used MUA Pallets in Pretty Pastels and Immaculate, I used a white rimmel eyeliner on the waterline, a loreal liquid eyeliner and my gorgeous Benefit Lashes, I just lurvvvvvv them they are so big and fluffy yet still look quite natural. I would definately wear this look for a night out. You can purchase all MUA Products in your nearest Superdrug or online at www.muacosmetics.co.uk

Colour Block Photo Shoot

This was my third ever photo shoot, third shoot after graduating from AOFM. But my first shoot going alone after graduating. Here I wanted to have a pop of colour and for this to be bright and striking. The images came out perfectly for what we wanted to achieve. The image with the necklace captured the moment perfectly. I networked with a local photographer for this shoot, someone i ended up working alongside quite a few times. :-)

The Blush Brigade

I am all about the blushers at the moment, they give a  pop of colour to your skin and give you that instant pick me up.
I wanted to blog on one blusher in particular, TheSleek Blush by 3, this pallet has matte and shimmer shades. You can wear the matte alone in the day and add the shimmer on top for the evening, i personally do like to mix two blushers together. Or you can wear the matte seperately to the shimmer colour. The pallets are ultra pigmented and great to pop in your handbag and equally your professional kit.

This blusher comes in 5 different colour choices so something for every skin tone. The shades come in:
Lace, Pink Sprint, Sugar, Flame and Pumpkin.

The picture here is for shade Pink Sprint and this is great for darker skin tones.

Your not sure which shade suits your skin!!!!! Please see below:
English Rose Beauty’s should opt for Baby Pinks
Light Olive skin tones suit soft peaches and corals
Medium Olive skin tones are best suited to warm orange’s and deep golden pinks
Darker skin tones can get away with more deep and vibrant colours like deep plums and hot fuchsia

All the sleek pallets have the combination of the above shades you can purchase these gorgeous pallets from Superdrug for £9.99 or shop online at www.sleekmakeup.com for a price of £10.00
Have fun with your colour :-)
