Illamasqua - For Your Alter Ego..

Recently I decided that I wanted to be a bit more adventurous with my make up - generally with colour. I always do strong eyes and I decided to try strong lips. I've invested in this amazing bright red lipstick from Illamasqua called "Encounter". I bought this a couple of weeks ago and I only got round to wearing it this weekend. I AM IN LOVE. It's very glamourous but quite edgy at the same time. It goes on quite smooth, but I do recommend using lipbalm or conditioner underneath it first. I also lined my lips with a nude/clear lipliner (sort of like concealer in a lip liner) to stop any bleeding which strong lipsticks have a tendency to do. It stayed put until I ate and didn't bleed. I've taken some shots wearing the lipstick and I have to admit I felt quite sexy wearing it! I think DBF liked it too ;)

I also bought some fake eyelashes, very subtle styles. One style is a bit more voluminous and lengthening and the other is super natural.. Have yet to try these but I have high hope for them.
