As you
could read in the post about the EMA’s you would know that we decided to get
ready by Vannah! And we decided to film the process.. So go check that video
out by clicking here.
Now to
be a little detailed on the products we used and our outfits please proceed
reading! We hope you liked our get ready with us video!
Alright
so we started out with make-up. It’s obvious in the video that we don’t wear
much and that we obviously aren’t no professionals when it comes to this.
Things we used..
Vannah's make up:
Kiko Mascara
Kiko Eyeliner
BB Cream foundation
Rimmel lipstick 160 Rose Passion
Lilly's make up:
L'oreal Lumi Magique light infusing foundation
Oriflame (lip)balm cherry
L'oreal Telescopic mascara
L'oreal Invincible kiss proof lipstick 204
We both
started with the face, then moved on with the eyes and at last the lips. We
both only use foundation, 1: because we don’t own concealers and 2: because the
products we are using are pretty pigmented on their own, so they cover up
pretty good.
First
apply your foundation on the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. Spread. Connect
all area’s! Then you can focus on the places that you would like to hide a bit
more, like underneath the eyes, around the mouth and the nose. You also see us
(or at least Lilly) applying foundation on her upper eyelid, I think a bunch of
make-up guru’s wouldn’t agree with this? But seeing there was no eye shadow it
helped to make the eye lid one color. If you have concealer and face powder
this would be the moment you apply it to all those annoying places and set it
with a face powder.
Then we
move on to the eyes. As you can see with Vannah she applied a thin line of
liquid eye liner, this makes the lash line a bit fuller without using falsies!
We both use different mascara’s and as much as we would like to give you advice
about this it’s best you choose something that matches your lashes. For example
(lilly) don’t like my mascara to be too thick because I have pretty long full
lashes. If but I know there are people out there who prefer different! A quick
easy tip? Start with the bottom lashes first and then the upper lashes. This
often helps to avoid marking your freshly applied foundation with mascara.
The last
part of make-up… The lips! We both like to apply a bit of lip balm before
applying lipstick.. Why? No idea! We just do! The lip balm I (Lilly) am using
is from a brand named Oriflame that only works with organic product and their
products smell amazing! The one I am using in the video smells like a cherry
bubble gum. (fun tip, the Oriflame “lip balm” is basically a balm for any dry
or rough places on the body, so you could apply it everywhere and it doesn’t leave
a sticky thick goo behind! And you get to smell like cherry’s! Handy 2 in one
product!) After this apply your lipstick and done! If you have a hard time
staying in the lines or you rather shape your lips a bit more you can always
apply a matching lip pencil.
Both extensions and donut were purchased at Primark
And now
for the hair! We both straightened our hair seeing we both naturally have
curly/wavy hair which would make these looks a bit harder to do. There are a
bunch of video’s explaining how to make fishtail braids and make a ‘donut’ bun
but if you would like to see ours, go and comment on our video! A quick
explanation on the looks, Lilly added extensions to make the braid a bit
thicker and Vannah added a bun to keep the nice round shape! To make the
ponytail with extensions, you first make a smaller ponytail exactly where you
would want to have your braid and clip the extensions round the small ponytail,
then you pull the rest of the hair back, covering the clips and making a new
ponytail. Then you braid the hair two strains at a time to make the fishtail!
When it comes to the bun, you make a ponytail where you could like to have your
bun. In Vannah’s cause a bit of hair was left aside to wrap around the bottom,
but you don’t have to do this. You place the donut over your ponytail and cover
the donut with your natural hair. Because Vannah has allot of hair! We tucked
most of it in the donut, and then wrapped the left over bit around the bottom
to cover it up. Make sure everything stay’s in place with bobby pins and
hairspray and you are ready to go!
Vannah's earrings are from H&M
Her top is from Topshop
Her bracelet is from Forever21
Lilly's earings and necklace are from her mom
(in other words, I have no idea where they are from)
Lilly's bracelets/bangles are from Primark
When it
came to jewelry we kept it very simple. For Vannah’s outfit she added some
bright green earrings and a matching bracelet. Because her top already had
colored stones at the top there was no need for any necklace! For Lilly’s
outfit a golden necklace and earrings where used. Also a couple of white and
gold bangles around the wrist! Later on I also added a black watch which we didn’t
film..
Vannah's top and skirt are from Top Shop
Lilly's top, shorts and belt are from Primark
Vannah's bag is from Leather Satchel Company via Asos.com
Vannah's shoes are from Converse
Lilly's bag is from Primark
And
Lilly's shoes are also from Primark
For the
outfit’s we stayed true to ourselves with a bit of added comfort! We didn’t
have to dress up that much because we were in the crowd.. But we wouldn’t be
Lilly and Vannah if we didn’t try and look our best!
We hope
you enjoyed our video! And also this post! For any questions or suggestions don’t
hesitate to contact us!
Much
love
xoxo
Lilly
and Vannah
