COLOUR CLASH WITH L'OREAL



February is on, and the last month of winter calls for a bit of colour for a kick start to a great year, and what better way to start the year than a competition where you could win a 1 year contract with L'Oreal and go to Paris?

So, L'Oreal has made a really exciting competition called The Brush Contest, where you can win a 1 year contract as an expert Makeup Designer for L'Oreal Paris worth €100,000. It's open to any up-and-coming make up artists, bloggers, vloggers and makeup fanatics and the theme of the competition entry is 'Colour Clash' - interpret it any way you wish, just have fun! All you need to do is upload a 3-min video tutorial right here before the 15th of February. One UK winner will go to the worldwide final in Paris which will be hosted by L'Oreal spokesmodel Eva Longoria.

This competition is all about what excites you, and having fun. I will take you through step-by-step on how I created my colour clash look for an idea of how you can do it, but don't be afraid to go even crazier!



1. Start doing your base. It's all about the eyes with this look, so start with a clear canvas, and apply concealer / foundation / BB cream where needed.



Use the L'Oreal Super Liner in Intense Blue and apply the eyeliner as close as you can to the lash-line, making it thicker as you go away from the eye. Next bit is doing the flick, which will take a bit of concentration, as you want to get it matching on both eyes! Don't worry if you get it messy at this step - clear out any mistakes with a q-tip with makeup remover.



On top of the smudged liner on the crease, apply L'Oreal Color Riche L'ombre Pure in Pop with your index finger. This will give it a cool 3D effect! Next is mascara, where I apply black mascara on the top lashes in an outwards motion as I want my lashes to be straight and not curved for this look, and on the bottom lashes, I apply two coats of L'Oreal Miss Manga Mega Volume in Turquoise.



L'OREAL MISS MANGA MEGA VOLUME IN TURQUOISE / SUPER LINER IN INTENSE BLUE / COLOR RICHE EXTRAORDINAIRE IN FUCHSIA DRAMA



Last step is the lips. Lightly apply a sparse coat of foundation to your lips, whereafter you add just a splash of L'Oreal's Color Riche Extraordinaire in Fuchsia Drama to the middle of the lips followed by a lot of smacking for a gradient result and voilĂ !

I HOPE YOU HAVE JUST AS MUCH FUN CREATING YOUR COLOUR CLASH LOOK! SEE MORE AND ENTER THE COMPETITION HERE. GOOD LUCK!
