This week one of my favourite beauty you tubers, Carli Bybel, posted a video about shaving your face.  My exact thoughts were probably the same as you are thinking, why would a woman shave her face?! But she really changed my opinion and opened my my to this and there are so many amazing benefits to doing this beauty tip. Firstly, your make-up will go on SO much smoother which is always such an amazing feeling for your skin to look more flawless! It is also an amazing exfoliator as it is removing all the dead skin on the top layer of the skin. But the most beneficial pro for me is no dark facial hair! I have naturally dark thick hair and it also shows on my face which is such an insecurity of mine, I've tried waxing my face and threading but personally it wasn't worth the pain as it grew back fairly quick and is an expense to get done! Below I am going to show before and after of my face. I have to clear up with you lot that the hair DOESN'T grow back thicker and darker it grows back exactly the same! (The first two pictures are before and the other two are after)

I know this is a late post about Halloween, I've been crazy busy and haven't had time to post but here I am! I had so many ideas I wanted to do for Halloween but I ended up being an 'angel'. I know scary right.... but I did a cool neck piece inspired by Jordan Hanz. I added my own touch by applying liquid latex cuts and a wax cut. I also added red contact lenses which are so scary to put in your eye and take them out, so worth it though! I paired the make-up with a peach dress and white heels. My hair was in a sleek bun so it didn't distract my make-up.
 My friend wanted help with his make-up as the only costume he had was a robin costume, so to make it more Halloween like we made him 'zombie robin'. It was interesting doing the make-up on a boy because you can define their jawline and cheek bones so much more! Again I used liquid latex and wax to create gashes on his face.
