3 FOTDS, a new hair colour and a bright pink dress. What more could a girl need?

[m_floffy_boes]

I haven't posted in a while, mainly because I haven't done any exciting make-up in a while. I recently got a temporary job at a rather conservative department store in Britain (Marks and Spencers), so I think that loud make-up is out of the question!
I'm sad though, because my contract ends tomorrow.

BUT ANYWAY, so I've been experimenting with a few neutral looks (something I'm CRAP at tbh. I hate neutrals).

So...here's two work looks I did. I prefer the second MUCH more tbh. Woodwinked looks like shit on me. It washes me out.

USED
Eyes
UDPP
Painterly p/p
Nylon e/s
Woodwinked e/s
Smut e/s
Solar White e/s
Clinique high definition mascara

Face
Studio Fix fluid NC15

Lips
Nothing (a bit of a recurring theme in these FOTDs tbh).

The next one is another work look I tried out, and I really like it tbh. The pictures do not do it justice I don't think, which is unfortunate.

USED
Eyes
UDPP
Beige-ing s/s
Charcoal brown e/s
Crystal Avalanch e/s
Smut e/s
Solar White e/s (WHY OH WHY didn't I buy two?

)
Bobbi Brown gel liner in...Sapphire Shimmer Ink? Or something. Dark blue anyway.
Contrast e/s over the top and smudged upwards slightly
Clinique high definition mascara

Face
Same as above

Lips
Nothing


So...yesterday was Christmas, and one of my presents was a fabulous calendar of images shot by John French in the 1960s of fashion models. They're gorgeous, and the heavily darkened creases in the make-up inspired me to have a wee little go myself.
It looks NOTHING like the one I tried to copy, as it's not dark enough. And it was far darker than the camera shows (wtf is wrong with my camera at the minute?!), but I quite liked it. There was a distinct pinky-purple tinge that my camera didn't pick up at all.

USED
Eyes
UDPP
Beige-ing s/s
Electra e/s
Brule e/s (over the top, as I decided I didn't want a silver lid colour)
Smut e/s
Carbon e/s
Rite-of-Spring e/s
Crystal Avalanch e/s
Blacktrack f/l
Buried Treasure powerpoint e/l (with smut over the top)
Feline e/l
Clinique High definition mascara

Face
Same as normal

Lips
Nothing.


Also, guys, I need your opinion on this dress I bought.

I liked it when I tried it on in the shop, but when I got home, I started to think it made me look trashy? My mum said she thought it makes me look kind of slutty, so now I'm unsure about it.

I'm really at a loss as to whether to return it or not. Bah.

Also, as you can see, I dyed my hair.

Here's a close-up shot so you can see the colour.

Tell me which you guys prefer. Red or brown?
I might dye it back to red. I dunno yet!

Anyhow, sorry for ALL THE PICTURES!
Opinions on everything would be fantastic please.
As would contructive criticism.

Hope you all had a fantastic Christmas!

You are so pretty, i love the make up and your new hair! Love the third look.
I don't think that the dress makes you look slutty at all.

 

[fingie]

I love the looks! And I don't think that dress is slutty either (I love it!)...if you're worried about it just wear the shrug thing you have on in the pics and try to play up your legs instead of chest area, KWIM?

 

[Calhoune]

You look gorgeous in neutrals I dunno why you dislike them so much

Oh and isn't it moms jobs to tell you you look like a slut in almost everything? I don't see why it's slutty, it's not like it ends straight under your butt or that your boobs are on the verge of falling out, you look great! But I agree on keeping the cardigan, like in the pictures

 

[Just_me]

your makeup is pretty..and the dress looks really nice on you....

 

[leenybeeny]

The looks are wonderful and that dress is smokin'! I agree, play up your legs if you are worried about it being a little risque. I am in love with your hair. I am growing mine out and I love the layers you have.

 

[m_floffy_boes]

Awh, thanks everyone.

I'm not sure about the dress because...I dunno, it's like...skin tight. And I'm hardly the skinniest person in the world (size 14/16 in the UK, so that's...10/12 in the US).

HMMMM.

I'd wear black opaque tights with it, and obv the cardigan thing (I have beef with my arms, haha.

EEEE. I'll probably just return it tbh.

Any constructive criticism for my make-up?

 

[KeshieShimmer]

I like the red hair. I also like formfitting dresses. So I like it.

 

[RobinG]

All the looks are very pretty. I like the third one best. The dress looks great not slutty.

 

[Blueeyesangel18]

I love the dress and I don't think it looks slutty at all more classy looking imo and I love the neutral looks I think they look really pretty

 

[jinxii]

I love your eyes! and that dress looks great, your curves are To Die For.

 

[PBunnieP]

Everything looks great

I really like you better as a redhead though, i think it makes you look more interesting and really enhances your pale skin. And that is definitely a sexilicious dress.

 

[KatRosier]

I agree with jinxii. If I had your curves I prolly wouldnt even bother with the dress..I'd wear the shrug and my undies lol

 

[jollystuikie]

Love the third look.

 

[jdepp_84]

I really adore the red hair, but being a brunette is always good. I myself have red hair, but im going back to brown soon Either way, you look hot!

 

[Brittni]

I like the dress... not sure about the belt or black top thing you have with it.
The red hair is very pretty! I love red heads, haha. And the last makeup look is really well done.

 

[oooshesbad]

i think the mu is very pretty, your hair looks fab and the dress looks great on you, it fits you well

 

[MACLovin]

Love the hair! But I liked the bright red too, it was pretty.

love the makeup too, but the 2nd look is super hot!

blending is great

The dress is super cute (and ample w/ the cleavage!

) but if your mom is gonna give you shit every time you wear it, and if you aren't 100% comfortable wearing it then i'd say return it for something that you looove and would wear all the time without thinking twice, you know? It looks good on you though, but if you'd only admire it in the mirror then it won't be put to good use.

just a thought..

 

[TISH1124]

Love all the looks and the dress is HOT!!! I loved your hair before and after! Beautiful

 

[ruthless]

That dress is fantastic!! You need to def keep it. Wearing the shrug and black belt & keeping your eyes neutral will make it a bit more grown up- the length is fine, and it's definitely a dress to wear if you want to get noticed-only thing "slutty" could be the cleav, if you're uncomfy about that button up the shrug a bit. But the pics with the shrug and belt look great, it really makes your body look fabulous.
