The magic of makeup

I know this post has nothing to do with fashion but I couldn't resist sharing the skills of this make-up artist with you. Most of you have probably already heard of Promise Tamang Phan - a young Nepali girl who with the artistic skill of her brush can transform herself into a completely different person. And not just any person - she's choosing A-list celebs!!

Let me introduce you to the talented Promise....

Here are a few of her transformations.....

Alicia Keys

Adriana Lima

Angelina Jolie

Belle

Jennifer Lopez

Megan Fox

Pocahontas

Scarlet Johansson

Alot of contouring is used and colour is added onto the face in specific places to change features and facial structure.
I personally think that for an average person to walk around with that amount of makeup on is too extreme and unnatural, but for the purpose of film or photography, this is GENIUS!

If you want to learn how she does it then watch her video tutorials on YouTube. Here's one of her Angelina Jolie look:

To all the boys......

Mixed Prints Trend

Mixing prints such as geometric, flowery patterns or stripes and spots mind sound like a recipie for disaster but the correct combination can result in a huge impact on your look.

If you are a beginner then start with subdued colours.

Remember to choose pieces within the same colour family or those of similar shades.

A common colour theme is essential when mixing prints in an outfit.

This is a great trend to play around with this season to  create a head-turning, dramatic look.

Be creative

I love how this blogger has cleverly taken her ring and used it as a hair-tie.
