Outfit Opinions ~ Mtv VMAs 2016

Hey guys. So as you know by now I love looking up all the outfits from any big award show so of course I had to comment on the Mtv Video Music Awards this year. My favourite of the night was definitely Hailey Baldwin's outfit, she looked INCREDIBLE!

Hailee Steinfield.
 I loved the colourful patterns of this dress because I feel like there is a lot of black on the VMA carpet. It reminds me of something Kylie Jenner would wear. I just don't like the way Hailee did her hair to be honest but I'm in love with the outfit.


Ariana Grande.
I actually really liked this outfit but I'd prefer if the pants were a little shorter to show off some killer heels but I love the top and choker. I think the fact that you can't see her feet makes her look a little short. I'm loving the fringe though

Ansel Elgort.
Ansel's outfit really shocked me because it's strange to see him in such a punk/rock outfit. He looks hot but I think I prefer when he wears a more "dapper" outfit but it's good to see him trying something new as it is the VMAs,

Nicky Minaj.
I frickin' love this dress on Nicky Minaj! This outfit is so flattering and I'm in love with this colour. It's very sexy but also sophisticated. Her hair was so sleek and shiny..so jealous. 

Beyoncé.
After seeing Beyoncé in concert this Summer I have a whole new level of respect for her because she truly is the queen! However, this outfit isn't my favourite of the night because I'm not sure how I feel about the neck piece thing but it does make a statement. This outfit is so dramatic and unique which only Beyoncé could rock and Blue Ivy looked adorable with her too.

Fifth Harmony.
I sometimes think Fifth Harmony don't look like a group on the red carpet because they wear really individual looks but at the VMAs this year they looked like a proper group. I love that they all wore black but in different styles to show their own personal fashion sense.

 My favourite one is either Camila or Normani's outfit. I'm not very sure how I feel about Ali's outfit individually though.

Stella Maxwell.
There was literally black everywhere at the VMAs this year so this outfit was so refreshing to see. It's very fashion forward and artsy. It's super cool and stood out among the dark outfits.

Jaden Smith.
I think this will be a love or hate outfit but I personally like it. Jaden Smith experiments with different styles, textures and patterns which only someone like him could make work. If he wasn't the one wearing this outfit I feel like I'd probably hate it but I think it looks very fashionable and creative. What do you think of this one?

Kim Kardashian.
And another black outfit...I'm honestly sick of seeing black but this is a beautiful look on Kim K. It looks effortlessly stunning and sexy. I feel like wet hair will be the next big trend now. Her body is looking amazing too. I'm not too sure why there was only one shoulder covered as the outfit was revealing enough as it is but anyways it was still beautiful.

Hailey Baldwin.
I've left my absolute favourite to last. This outfit is so edgy and cool but also has this pretty and delicate look. Hailey looked so stunning with her flawless hair and makeup. This is perfect for the VMAs. I'm just obsessed!

And that's all my opinions on some of the outfits from the VMAs 2016. Let me know which were your favourites of the night. Thanks for reading!

Subtle But Pretty Festival Makeup!


Hey guys, as I mentioned in my last post, I went to the Indiependence festival recently which was my first ever festival actually. Here's a post of one of the makeup looks with a list of the products I used. 

This was the most subtle of my makeup looks from that weekend. This could be an everyday look too, just excluding the white dots obviously.

 I just did this gold and army green eye, on the last day. I really liked how the colours complemented my outfit. It was simple but effective.
Products I used.

Skin
Benefit porefessional primer.
L'oreal True Mstch Foundation.
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder.
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer.
Nyx Wonder Stick (contour shade)
Rimmel Natural Bronzer.
Catrice Blush "050 Apropos Apricot." 
Sleek Solstice Highlighting palette "Subsolar."

Eyes
Catrice gold eyeshadow "950 Gold Out." 
Nyx "Love In Paris" eyeshadow Palette "LIP 06/C'est la Vie" (Darkest Green Shade)
Nyx Eoic Black Mousse Liner.
Catrice Kohl kajal 040 White"
Revlon Volume + Length Magnified Mascara.

Brows
Sleek Au Naturel eyeshadow palette "Nubuck" and "Bark"

Lips
Nyx liquid Suede Cream Lipstick "Sandstorm."
(I dabbed my lips with a tissue which made the cream lipstick matte.)

Decoration
I used Nyx white liquid liner to create the dots. They stayed in place for the entire day. It was really long lasting and effective.
