Makeup Tutorial: Easy Kim Kardashian Smoky Flick Liner

Hey guys! I know it's been forever since I last uploaded a tutorial - I actually filmed this ages ago, but only just found the time to do the voiceover and finally publish. I was at a photoshoot a while ago and saw a makeup look similar to this one on one of the models, and instantly loved it. Once I tried it on myself, I realised how similar it is to the makeup that Kim Kardashian normally wears, hence the title of the tutorial.

I hope you guys enjoy, and hopefully I'll be back with another video soon! x

Products mentioned:

Napoleon Perdis Autopilot Primer - a great primer for nighttime as it keeps your makeup in place and makes your skin look glowing and radiant. It also smooths out the skin, which helps the foundation glide into place. I wouldn't recommend this for humid weather though, but for any other kind of weather, this is a beautiful primer.

Make Up For Ever HD Foundation - this has made its way into my list of favourite foundations. It gives pretty good coverage without being too cakey on the skin, and seems to sit just right once you buff it in. Remember to thumbs up the video or just leave a comment below if you want to see a HD makeup tutorial!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Beauty Express Kit in Brunette

MAC Paint Pot in Painterly - this is one of those eyeshadow bases that are perfect for almost any look. It lightens the lid colour just the right amount, and provides the perfect base for eyeshadow to stick to.

bh cosmetics 120 Colour Palette - a great palette if you don't play with colours too often. It has decent pigmentation and blends easily. Plus, it's really affordable!

Clinique Brush on Cream Liner - my favourite gel eyeliner. It's lasted me forever and hardly moves once applied. Plus point - it doesn't dry out fast like some other brands.

Shiseido Natural Cream Concealer - this is a great, pigmented concealer. I use it for both my undereye area as well as on spots around my face, and haven't experienced many issues with it creasing, especially after I set it with a loose powder. You only need a tiny bit of it, and the finish is - true to its name - natural.

Sleek Contour Kit in Medium - you guys are probably sick of hearing me mention this product! It really is a great colour and texture for an affordable price though. There are loads of Sleek parallel importers and resellers online, so Google them to find one that ships to you.

TheBalm Mary Lou-Manizer - my favourite highlighter. Read about it here.

Thanks for watching guys! x

Klass Act: Steal Myleene's Casual Autumnal Look

Autumn is officially upon us, and as the leaves are turning to gold and red that crisp feeling in the air makes this the perfect season to don one of these gorgeous coats and get outside for a brisk and bracing walk. Whether you’re going for a countryside ramble or wandering about town, choose a piece that can deliver comfort, warmth and, of course, serious fashion cred. Find some autumnal inspiration from talented TV presenter, musician and fashion muse Myleene Klass. Spotted taking a stylish stroll, Myleene looks comfy but chic in on-trend floral skinny jeans and classic Converse, while the slouchy parka is the coat of the moment for lovers of layering. If you want to get Myleene’s look but aren’t sure where to start, here’s how to steal her super snug style.

Pick up a parka
When it comes to coats you can’t really go wrong with a parka. Comfy, weatherproof and bang on trend, a parka can spare you from the worst that the British weather has to offer. Go traditional with a khaki parka like Myleene’s, or choose a more formal take with this PU trim parka in black. The faux fur hood keeps off the chills while the leather-look trim pockets are a nice nod to designers' favourite fabric for autumn/winter. The draw cord around the waist also means you can add definition and show off your hourglass figure without sacrificing warmth or comfort.

Petal power
The military khaki of Myleene's coat contrasts with those charming feminine florals for a pretty but edgy take on classic soldier style. Work this contrast into your own outfit with Ted Baker’s floral skinny jeans. The dusky pink colour and whimsical print put a quaint twist on this modern trend, and can be dressed up or down depending on where your wanderings take you.

Trendy trainers
Unless you want to get back with blisters it’s a good idea to leave your heels at home and opt for a pair of Chuck Taylor’s instead. While everyone loves the brand's iconic basketball boot, update your wardrobe with these fur-lined hi-tops. The faux fur trim keeps ankles warm against the wind when you're crunching through leaves, while the neutral grey co-ordinates with the khaki to keep attention where it should be - on those statement florals.

Chic shades
Add the finishing touch to your Myleene copycat look by popping on a pair of silver aviator sunglasses. Not only will they keep that autumn glare at bay, they’ll also give you an air of nonchalant cool - just remember to take them off when the long winter night kicks in. Whether you're headed for the urban jungle or a real woodland, make every path a catwalk with this cosy casual chic.
