[Fortnight Challenge #1] Nearly Nude in Amsterdam

Hey guys!

A little background,
"I decided to challenge myself to doing 2 weeks worth of makeup, essentially challenging myself to do makeup I usually wouldn't; thus, coming out of my comfort zone and experimenting. And I intended to film all of it. Mind you, I don't wear makeup everyday so only the days I wore any significant amount of makeup is when I filmed. Thus the reason it took a while to complete."

Inspiration: Linda Hallberg

So today I will be putting forward some inspiration for you from one of my favourite artists ... Ever?! Lol no seriously I love like 99.9475% of her work. Her work is flawless and so different to a lot of the ongoing trends on social media in the beauty community nowadays. I love when people break the mould and pave their own path and win my heart along the way.

I hope you draw some inspiration of her work as I have and still do, and also too I hope you enjoy this post. There's lots of pics.

From her more natural looks:

Fortnight Challenge 1

Hey guys!

So regarding the name of this post, I challenged myself to do 14 days worth of makeup that I usually wouldn't, in effect challenging myself. Mind you I do not wear makeup everyday so this took a while as I only recorded the days I did decide to wear it.

Here's a link to the Sneak Peek Trailer I made!


Stay tuned for the vids. The first one goes up this Thursday 27th Nov. With the exception of this week and the very last look, vids will go up twice a week for 6 weeks. All products will be listed on here along with links to the tutorials.

Hope you're excited! I am.

Stay safe
God Bless

Remake Me: Chloë Grace Moretz Inspired Makeup for CU+K {My Makeover Look}

A little background,
" Cat Morley from Cut Out + Keep contacted me about another feature for the site called Makeover Mondays, to which I avidly agreed! The outline of the project entailed two looks. The first look would be her signature look that I would recreate, and the second look would be her makeover look if I had the chance to do a makeover on her. "

Berry Amore Smokey

Hey Guys!

Hope all's well wherever you are! I did this look a few weeks ago for my Facebook page. I had an idea of what I wanted this to look like but it came out more mild. I still like it though, a lot. It has this sort of rustic finish with the smokiness, brows and lashes. Ughhh I just love it!
So here it is!

Drag Attempts #1, #2 & #3

Hey again guys! Hope you're all well wherever you are and thanks again for checking into my blog!

I thought I'd share the progress of my attempts at drag makeup with you all. I've only made a tutorial for one of these looks so I can't state the products used for all. I'll post the direct link to the tutorial for your viewing pleasure!

Attempt #1:
This was inspired by Namaisa Hunswijk, an MUA and YouTube Beauty Guru from the Netherlands. I switched out the colours to tailor it to myself but I didn't really like the "pristine-ness" of it!

Royal Neon Drag Makeup

I've attempted to do drag makeup before but didn't film the process. After posting some pics of a makeup I did that was drag inspired, a female friend of  mine asked if I could do a video on it so she'd see how I created the stark cut-crease. So I obliged, and two attempts later, we have this!

Hello again! Here to post another feature of mine from cutoutandkeep.net.


A little background,
"I was contacted on April 28th 2014 on Twitter by someone on CO+K saying they'd love to feature me on their site as a beauty superstar. After verifying that it wasn't spam I gladly obliged! I was informed that it would be a week long feature, a different makeup look for each day for 7 days. An interview questionnaire was also sent to me while we conversed over emails. Cat was very friendly and helpful during this time as well. My first feature goes/went live as of July 7th 2014, a link to the site is posted below."

Tutorial: Pacifique

Hi guys, coming to you with a very simple step tutorial that was inspired by Hanna Majava and Dixie Wolff on Instagram. I absolutely love their work and I'd never tried anything like it before (.. surprisingly). 
In my attempt to challenge myself, this is the look I created:

 For my first attempt at this sort of look, I personally quite like the outcome.

*~>>| Intro to my blog |<<~*

Hi hi wherever you are in the world reading this and welcome to the official blog of "Bellisima Lolita Makeup". The purpose of this post is mainly to get the blog started and serve as a little background on what I intend to do on here. Hope you find it insightful, follow and stay tuned for more!

My (nick)name is Layla but ofttimes I may refer to myself as "Loli" (short for "Lolita") on here as well as in my YouTube vids. I'm bi-residential, Trinidad and the US. I'm in my early twenties, soon to be 22 at the time I am writing this. I'm currently attending University and studying Engineering and I do Freelance Makeup Artistry on the side. I currently use a Casio Exilim Camera to film my vids and most of my vids may be with music because I'm kinda awkward talking to the camera; and my camera is on shit so there's no audio to account for. So please bear with me, I intend to try doing voice overs soon once I can get back to filming.

The reason I've restarted a blog is because FB doesn't have all the capabilities I thought I'd need to get certain content out to my audience. I feel that I may be able to do more on here so I hope you enjoy.

What you can expect from me on here are as follows:

  • Makeup Tutorials. Step by step as well as video tutorials.

  • FOTD/MOTD/LOTD's

  • Product Reviews, Hauls

  • Inspiration from other artists

... Basically anything makeup related!

My social media links are as follows:
I hope we both enjoy this experience and until my next post, stay safe and God bless!

xOXo,
Loli
