Make up tips

Hey guys...
So the winner of my competition was @looloo0135 and the runner up was @sprinkleoftumblr1
Today's post is makeup tips, I have been using these all summer and I love them. Here they are. 





By the way, the picture here is not blurred it is a shadow thing. So this picture includes 2 tips. The first one is to apply powder on top of your lipstick for a matte finish. The second is to put a tissue on top of your lipstick and then apply powder with a big brush all over where your lips are. This will take away the oils from the lipstick so it stays on all night. 




Sorry the picture is t the right way round. This tip is basically to use eye shadows that come as a set of three. I like doing this because it's much easier to get a nice look because you know they all go. 




The next is to use concealer as a base for your eyeshadow. This is good because it helps the eyeshadow stick so it stays on all night long and also because my concealer doesn't suit my skin tone anymore because I have tanned on holiday. 




This one is to apply mascara in a zig zag way to stop it getting in big clumps/sticking together. 





This one you have to do before your mascara. Shut your eye and hold you eyelashes down and apply eyeliner as if you're applying it to the very tip of your eyelashes. This might not always work and it does take a lot of practice. 




Finally, the last one is to use a thick brush to fill some of your eyebrows in and then use the thin one to shape them and for the darker areas. I use the real techniques one but there are much cheaper ones available. 



Thank you for reading this list. I hope you enjoyed it. Sorry I've not posted for ages I've been on holiday and I still am. Please go and comment in my Instagram some questions for a back to school Q&A.

Interviewing Beckii Whiting/BeckiiOfficial!!!

Hey guys...
I am so excited about this post! So for a long time I have been loving a YouTuber called Beckii Whiting. In case you didn't know, she is 17 and a TV and film student. You should all go and check out her YouTube and Instagram, they're amazing! I actually messaged Beckii on Instagram, asking her if she wouldn't mind me interviewing her and she was happy to. So this is what happened...




Me: what inspired you to start YouTube?

Beckii: It looked so fun and I kind of just got motivated to start when I watched JaackMaate and MusicalBethan

Me: what do you love most about YouTube? 

Beckii: Meeting people and making friends! I've found some of my closest friends through YouTube. YouTube is like a community and it's so good to be part of. 

Me: that's nice! Do you want a career in YouTube or something else?

Beckii: I like having YouTube as a hobby. I want to go onto tv broadcasting as a job. I don't get paid for YouTube- I do babysitting as a part time job. 

Me: wow! That seems cool. Who are your favorite you tubers?

Beckii: I love Sarocha, HollyLolly999 and Emily Canham's vlogs. They are all so fab!

Me: I love Emily too! How old were you when you first started YouTube?

Beckii: I actually had a channel when I was like 6 and I used to do shows but it is deleted now haha! I started BeckiiOfficial when I was 14. 

Me: haha! If you did go on to get millions of subscribers (which I'm sure you will) would you ever consider writing a book?

Beckii: Noooo!! I can't write interesting stories haha! I've never wanted to be a writer. 

Me: haha! Even if it was like about your YouTube?

Beckii: No, I can't write books! Personally, I couldn't do it. 

Me: haha! Tbh I don't think I could either! Would you ever consider going out n a tour doing talks or having really big meet ups?

Beckii: I would love do to meet ups! They are so much fun! Eve held a meet up in March and that was so much fun, I would love to do more in the future. 

Me: How did you and Eve Bennett become friends?

Beckii: We got mentioned in the same tweet, so I stalked her channel and she lived nearby. So we just started talking! We realised we had got a lot in common and our friendship just got stronger!

Me: That's nice! This ones a bit random but what is your favourite brand/shop?

Beckii: Forever 21!! It's my favorite!! I'm obsessed with all the items - I wish o had unlimited money just to spend there haha!

Me: haha! This is the last one, do you have and vice for anyone wanting to start a YouTube channel or just in general?

Beckii: Make sure you have your channel art done and that your channel looks presentable - create something that you would enjoy because the chances are, other people will enjoy it too!  

Me: ok thank you so much. It means a lot that you have done this for me. I have really enjoyed talking to you and you are a really nice person. Thank you. Xxx

Beckii: Aww! No problem it was fun!




Just to say thank you Beckii:





Hope you enjoyed this post!
