Make-Up for Spring: Cat Eye's

I'm going to be focusing on Make-Up for Spring, this week. So to start us off, I'm going to talk about one of my ALL YEAR LONG favourites: The Cat Eye.

Today we are going to focus on good cat eye's for Spring, and the do's and do not's!

Firstly, for Spring, people want to look fresh and airy. It's not very likely for you to see harsh and bright eye shadows. A common mistake made by people trying out the Cat Eye for the first time, is they draw very dark, thick and dramatic lines.



This, though they are perfect for the cat walk, evenly drawn, and pretty interesting,this kind of cat eye is something you want to avoid this spring.

You want to go for a softer  palette, so here are some softer versions of the cat eye, that I found (ON PINTEREST)

 



If you want to get a little bit more dramatic but still keep it Spring-y, then try using softer blues, or purples, with a dark coloured liner, try a dark brown, or bronze liquid liner!

Now I don't mean go out and do something like this:


I mean a softer approach like this:

I hope this gives you some ideas and a fresh new outlook on Spring Make-Up.
Don't hesitate to send me pictures of your favourite Cat Eye's or your favourite Spring shadows!

Tuesday: Tutorial Round Up!

If I have noticed anything trending lately in the DIY world....it would have to be altering and enhancing what is already in your wardrobe instead of going out and buying a whole new seasons worth of clothes. People love having one of a kind pieces, creative eye grabbers and thrifty-looking finds. So here are some tutorials I found that will give you some ideas for refreshing, revamping and recycling lasts years staple pieces! 

Have an old tank top, that you're bored with? Give it a little flare!!

Favourite shirt getting a little worn out? Add some lace!

Everyone is wearing collared shirts these days, Make your's special!

Have an old pair of sunglasses that you don't want to wear two summers in a row? Make them your own!

Jeans to capri's a bit too bland for you? STUDS!

The simple flip flops were a hit last year....this year, not so much! Add a scarf!

and lastly, and personally my favourite!!!!

GET YOUR DYE ON! There are soooo many options these days for dying clothes! Get creative!

Well that's it for today folks!
Hope this gave you some good ideas!

 Leave a comment if you have any questions, or any other good ideas! OR IF YOU TRIED SOMETHING! :) I WANT TO SEE HOW IT TURNED OUT!

Thanks for reading,
Have a glorious day, where-ever you are!
