Red Lipstick for a perfect pout

Hello Ladies! We have decided to do this little blog on how to apply Red lipstick perfectly, so it won't budge for the night. All you will need is a slight top up in the centre and away you go to dance your heart out!!

*****WARNING**** We strongly advise no kissing when rocking this look LOL.

To start off throw a little foundation over the lips, take a lip liner, preferably in the same colour as the lipstick and paint all over, filling them in. This will create longevity and help your lippy stay in place forever! 

To line the lips, start with the cupids bow.

Then line the bottom so you are creating a little frame. 

It is said you should always balance out top and bottom lip as it makes your face look more symmetrical, we agree to a certain point that this looks great but when it comes to concealing the sides of the lips we are not huge fans. This however won't suit everyone's taste but we believe you should always work with what you've got. 

When the lips are all filled in with liner you can go ahead and place the lipstick on top. We love MAC Lip brush no. 316. And  of course the ultimate Lippy has to be RUBY WOO by MAC . Now if you don't have these products, make do with what you have. A classic makeup always looks great when applied properly, no matter what the product is. 

Blot the lip with tissue so you can take access off.   

A LITTLE TIP...choose a colour that will suit your skin tone. RED lipstick is for everyone, there are a million different shades of red and if you haven't found your perfect one, keep looking, it's out there ladies.

Take a look below...

FAIR SKIN- coral reds or dark reds with pink undertones.

MEDIUM TO OLIVE SKIN-pink and cranberry shades and brick reds.

DARK SKIN- red with burgundy or brown tones.

So don't be afraid, BE DARING!!! 

A red lip is so striking, that if you want to stand out, this is perfect! 

Hope this helped and you girls can try it out soon.  GOOD LUCK!

Hair today, gone tomorrow!!

Well hello there lovely ladies...

We are very excited about our latest purchase we just had to share with you guys!!!

We all know your makeup isn't complete unless your locks are looking luscious right??!! So one half of us here at VII has been sporting the "long bob" and needed a change. We wanted to keep is classy as always and find that some extensions and hair pieces can look a little tacky, so we chose wisely!!

Obviously the best extensions to go for are the natural haired ones, but to be honest we are not really fans of that technique so we went for synthetic hair instead.

We went into HAIRSPRAY to check some out. << (click on hairspray) We sat down with the lovely guys and girls and they advised us on what hair colour, length and shape would be best to create the look we wanted. We were very impressed as when we explained what we were on the hunt for they pretty much listened to us and got it right on the first go!! Love when customer service is great, makes you feel better about a product or anything you are buying as a matter of fact!



So we wanted something within budget not too expensive but something with good  quality and  opted for "Hairdo,Hairyouwear" In 20" length. We chose this one so it would blend better with our bob and the curls were pretty damn cute!! Costing €59.95 we also got a spray with it to protect the hair.

 

 

 

 

Here is a pic of the hair as it is, when we took it out of the packaging. Simply throw half of your own hair up, We suggest you curl it before hand to match the extensions and clip in this little piece underneath!! Then when you are comfortable let it all down. All you'll need to do is tweak it a little until it matches! Very easy to do and so much fun!!!

 

 

Have to say girls we are totally in love with this and the end results was exactly what we wanted!! Big haired bombshell!!! Can't wait for another night out to sport this one again <3

SEVENquick easy steps on how to wash your face properly!!!!

 To start off...... SEVEN tips from SEVEN!!!
Girls??!!!.......
Make sure you change your pillow weekly and use a fresh towel daily to avoid contaminating your face!!! Please......

1. Wash your face with a mild cleanser and warm water and pat dry.

2. Apply that toner and wait for it to dry!!  Toner is  great for those with oily skin but benefits to all skin types too!!

3. Apply any special medications or creams that you use for your certain skin type. An example is our spot wand as seen on our previous blog!! This is the best time to squeeze that bit in!! But no squeezing any spots though!!! RULE RIGHT THERE!!!!

4. Apply your eye cream at this stage and wait for it to dry. This will help the eye area to stay bright and fresh... oh and will help with those little crows feet later on  ;)

5. Apply Moisturiser, for obvious reasons!!! Every girls needs it even the ones with oily skin, maybe use a shine control one. No matter what skin you have it's an essential!!

6. Apply that SPF! Unless your moisturiser or makeup has it already within the product then it's all good. Protect your skin, even from the blinding Irish rays !! We mean the sun here not ray himself actually lol!

7.And last but not least a good primer will do the trick to base that foundation! Choose one that smooths out blemishes and the face, to give an even flawless look to your skin.

Tips: Adding moisturiser last, helps lock the ingredients, so it's easier to repair the skin. And make sure to avoid your face when spraying perfume!!!
