Valentines Day Make-up For Day and Night

Hello to all those star-crossed lovers!

I created this Valentines Day look inspired by 2 things.
a) The Actual event of valentines Day itself on the 14th of Feb, and
b) My Dior 5 colour eye shadows in 'Tender Chic'



I honestly love this look because it can be worn everyday and not only just for Valentines Day. This look Comprises of soft dusty pinks, Purpley-winey hues, chocolate browns and blacks. This look is very subtle as I believe you shouldn't look too processed on Valentines Day. Enhance your Natural Beauty. Don't hide it by caking on make-up. Come on, no guy wants a cake-faced wife, girlfriend, Partner etc...

Modern ' Pin-up' Inspired - Winged White liner

Hey Guys,


This is my Latest tutorial uploaded on 'RubyGAustralia'. Please excuse the lighting as I recently bought a new camera and I'm still experiment with everything  including super low lux. 


Light coloured liners are a huge trend on and off the runway. I am all about it as it does more than just brighten and widen the eyes. It brings a subtle definition without looking to ;vintagy'. Coloured eyeliners including chromes, muli-colours and light neutral tones are replacing the traditional black/brown liner. This Tutorial embodies my favorite make-up style- the 1950's 'pin-up' look. The white liner gives this Pin-up inspired look a modern edge and twist.


This look can be worn as a day or nigh look, depending on the intensity and liner pigmentation. This look compliments all skin tones and eye shades so, don't be afraid to give this look a go!

What I wore for NYE (Make-up Tutorial & OFTN Kaftan Dress)

Hey Guys

I hope you all had a fantastic morning/afternoon/evening celebrating the NY! One piece of advice I want to share with you all this year is,

 "build your ladder so high, that if you get half way..you'll still be higher than everybody else" ~ My Mother.

 I want you guys to set goals, achieve them and slowly reach your dreams not only in 2012 but, every year.
I know it's been a while and i do apologize for my absence. This Video was meant to go up on NYE before the celebrations began here in Australia. However, I didn't have the luxury of time.
I chose a dress that was light and airy. Australia's temperature during the summer varies from 25-37 so, it makes sense to wear something practical.
Because my dress had tones of the same palette a long with some tribal prints, i kept my make-up on a minimum.

I hope you guys all had a fantastic new year and may 2012 bring you nothing but good health, happiness, love and peace.
