I’m well aware that green eyeshadow isn’t always the first choice when it comes to smokey eyes (especially in Spring) – however, I wanted to break the ice of its reputation and present in this post that green eyeshadow is definitely an eyeshadow to look out for this season. Think bright pale (the 60s) green, […]
When it comes to makeup, I’m always searching for the newest and freshest take with products, techniques and application methods. I absolutely love the process of re-discovering a particular colour or product to use in a makeup look – and of late, I’ve recently re-discovered my fondness with green eyeshadow. Yes, green eyeshadow. I know that […]

Inspired by Fenty Beauty’s ‘uncensored’ Stunna Lip Paint (worn in this edit) I wanted to push myself a little further out of my comfort zone and add some clashing yet complimenting shadows for my eyes, specifically for the liner. I achieved this by thinly tight-lining the top lash line of my eyes with black eyeliner, […]
Happy belated New Year Everyone! So sorry I wasn’t able to blog towards the end of the year as I’ve had lots of work to catch up on. But as we’re now in the first month of 2019, I’d like to turn over a new leaf and talk about the first makeup mood of January […]
Since my last blog post was a more laid back holiday look, I thought it would only be fair to publish my own rendition of the very ultimate but wearable, Christmas Day makeup look. In all realness, It’s nothing more than a glittery eye and a dark plum lip. But I suppose an event like […]
Hi, Everyone! I hope you’re all doing well during this month’s festivities and preparations with your loved ones. This blog post is a makeup look that I think would be perfect for holiday parties without looking too overdone. I took some inspiration from Rihanna’s 2017 Met Gala Look with an 80’s twist. Opting for bright/pale […]
Happy December 1st, everyone! Party season is here and so I thought why not start of the festive looks with one that I have been obsessing over recently. A glitz glam smokey eye inspired by model, Bella Hadid created by makeup artist, Hung Vanngo. This look is quite dramatic although, something I liked about the […]
This look is by far one of the most complicated eye-looks I’ve ever created and I’m not even exaggerating lol. It was inspired by a look I saw on a model photographed around the 60’s in Italy. Unfortunately, I do not know the credits to the photo – but one thing I do know is […]
Not too long ago, beauty mogul and makeup YouTuber, NikkiTutorials released a Halloween glam makeup tutorial! I love Halloween, although in all honesty, my efforts for creating a variety of Halloween looks throughout the month of October are just none existent (as you can already tell) no matter how hard I try. With that being […]
This makeup mood is about harnessing the delicacy of the 1940s makeup style. Fresh, clean and defined using thin strokes of black eyeliner to give the illusion of fuller lashes with simplified skin to show of the iridescence of the clear like shimmery eyeshadow, pulled together with light brows and a statement brown-nude lip. The […]
Happy Sunday, Everyone! This look is quite an advanced glam as I wanted to experiment with graphic eyeliner in combination with a statement lip also. A very vibrant, nod to the ’80s wearable look that I think will be perfect for any upcoming festive events this fall/winter or just to try out and have fun […]
I’ve noticed that around this time of year, that I begin to regularly receive questions as to how I achieve a more flawless foundation look without looking too cakey and just all-around even in tone with my makeup. Now, of course, liquid foundation and concealer play a huge part in my Autumn/Winter makeup routine but […]

Happy September to you all! For some reason, I’ve fallen back in love with pink hues lately. Growing up, I rarely liked to admit that my favourite colour (at the time) was pink, however, the majority of my detailed decorations all over my bedroom, throughout my scrapbooks, perfumes and handbags all happened to be pink […]
Hi, Everyone! I know this is a long one but I thought that it would be nice to film a ‘talk-through’ tutorial for a change. Let me know if you liked this by commenting below on what you think and also any suggestions of what you’d like to see on my YouTube channel. PRODUCTS USED IN […]
PRODUCT DETAILS: BASE: L’Oreal Infallible Total Cover Foundation “Cappucino” (I prefer to mix this foundation in with a liquid illuminator to sheer the coverage down just a bit.) CONCEALER: The same foundation mixed in with a lighter one from Elizabeth Arden, lightly applied to the centre points of the face including right underneath my eyes. POWDER: RCMA No […]
I don’t really wear red lipsticks often (just based on personal preference). But whenever I do, it always becomes a rather strategic process for me. I made a post some time ago about my red lip routine, mentioning the time it took for me to become more comfortable and confident enough to wear red lips […]
I’ve recently been noticing this new re-birth of 60’s style makeup. Although it had already made its influence through many other modernised renditions of the 60’s look over the decades, this year has really become an interesting time for different makeup artists and non-makeup artists to experiment with the simplicity of single, bold eyeshadows. Paired […]
Happy Weekend, everyone! Summer is finally here and I am so excited to share a variety of different fresh, glowy and experimental looks on here The Belper. However, with this heat wave… I’ve found myself channelling my inner minimalist makeup artist and I’m currently loving it at the moment! The simple, fresh face and a […]
In this blog post, I’ll be reviewing a couple of products from Nip+Fab that I ordered not too long ago. So it was after hitting pan on the Anastasia Beverly Hills Powder Contour Refills, (that I used to set my makeup with) that I subconsciously went on a face powder/palette hunt and soon found myself […]
Hello everyone! I hope you’re all doing well! Today’s blog post is a makeup look which I must say, is a little experimental ^-^. For some reason, I’ve become obsessed with the colour green lately. Not a particular shade of green, anything green really (lol). It’s a colour I’ve been incorporating in makeup looks, my lifestyle […]
Happy weekend everyone! Spring is finally here, (well, kinda lol) and this season is all about experimenting with the new, unusual and fresh colours in lipsticks, eyeshadows and even blushes! I decided to dedicate this post to a question I’d been receiving a lot lately: How do you pull off a bold lip? Simple right? well, although it may […]

Now, even though I finally uploaded my Signature Makeup Look on YouTube last month, it was up until a few days ago when I stumbled […]
All throughout January, I’ve been loving this fresh-faced, peachy look! It’s so easy to recreate and requires only one blush/shadow to achieve it. I will say that the look is quite inspired by k-Beauty. This look definitely enhances a more youthful side which I love. Simple and easy yet makes all the difference for those […]
I chose to do this makeup look simply because I’m a lover of 60s eye looks. However, this one carries elements of futurist vibes to it. Only fitting I dedicate this look to NYE as I’d only ever wear such a daring makeup for this occasion lol. This sharp, bold, dramatic eye look is perfect […]
This look is yet another simple makeup look with an all-black outfit (or in this case vintage coat 🙈) but with a twist. Dark. Intense. Glossy. Lips. I’ve been a huge fan of matte skin with deep burgundy contrasted lips lately, so I thought why not show how I would style this simple yet bold […]
Here is a simple Christmas makeup look featuring how to achieve an easy red ombré lip! This look is all about the skin and the lips. Perfecting the skin by buffing in a nice, thin layer of your foundation of choice and going over the areas that need a little more help with a pot […]
This makeup is a little more dramatic on the eyes. I started with a shimmery dark brown shade on the eyelids and blended it in with dark matte shades. I added a bit of warmth by blending in red shadows on top and finished with a black liquid liner for a doll like effect. I […]

Happy 1st of December, Everyone! Today’s makeup look is probably one of the simplest yet enhancing makeup looks I’ve done on The Belper. After a full Downton Abbey series binge watch one weekend (oops), I couldn’t help but take note of the makeup looks aristocratic women wore back in the early 1900s to late 1920s […]
For this edit, I was very much inspired by the recent weather we’ve had here in the UK…….👀I’m not one to lean towards dark gloomy colours for day-to-day eyeshadows as It’s quite hard to pull off without looking dull. However, for a change I wanted to try a colour, I wouldn’t always go for, Green! […]
Happy Monday! Sometimes it’s hard to narrow down a simple yet effective face routine without including a lot of products. This lightweight, skin-like base is what I do whenever I need a long lasting yet enhancing makeup look for for the day ahead! I love cutting time and using multitasking products that can work for […]
I wanted something easy to re-create without any fuss or a ton of products. I really wanted a light approach to the makeup on the eyes and skin, focusing on light shadow and enhancing my natural features. It’s no secret that I have a thing for pink eyeshadow because it is a colour that can […]
I’ve been gravitating towards light weight, rusty and shimmery eyeshadows on the lids! This easy look is perfect for transitioning into the fall season without going too heavy. Simple yet enhancing. Eyeshadows Used: “Warning” and a bit of “Seize” from the Urban Decay Full Spectrum Palette Mascara- E.L.F Cosmetics Lengthening Mascara (New Fave!) I lined […]
For this editorial, I wanted to be quite bold whilst keeping the look modern and wearable! Creating the eye look was quite simple: The main focus is pink eyeshadow on the lids, applied in a rounded, 60s mod shape and blended well around the edges. I complimented the pink with navy blue eyeshadow (as eyeliner). […]

Perfecting a wing can often be intimidating, considering each eye can potentionaly end up looking entirely different to the one you’ve just spent a good 10 minutes on. I occasionally still have those days however, I have noticed that when I’m in a 10 minute-makeup rush I find myself doing either a faint or thick […]
This is the excerpt for your very first post.
Lately, I’ve been sporting a more ‘natural’ look in preparation for summer just to enhance my facial features without full coverage makeup a touch of illuminator on the highest points of my cheeks and I’m good to go! I think during spring/summer months it’s always lovely to have a more light-weight feel to your makeup […]
As one of my birthday gifts from my amazing Aunt, I graciously received the Urban Decay Full Spectrum Palette. Ironically I mentioned in my previous blog post that I would be playing with more colours in my looks this spring/summer, and I think I have the perfect palette to do so. In combination with this […]
Thank you so much to #TopOfThePopsMagazine for featuring me on page 45 of your current issue! #InstaGlam
So I finally got round to trying out the glossy lid look. A popular trend right now where you use eye gloss or even lipgloss (what I used) on your lids to create an ethereal glow to your makeup. I will say this is more editorial rather than a wearable out-the-door makeup but depending on […]
Spring is upon us and lately, I’ve been gearing towards a more fresh-faced makeup look. knowing that I will be doing more colourful looks this spring/summer, I thought I’d share my current go-to makeup look + my favourite lip colour at the moment. Keeping within the ‘fresh face’ theme, for me, that is clean looking […]
I’ve never really been the type of girl to wear red lipstick as I feel many red lipsticks out on the market have different undertones, so finding the right shade can be tricky. It’s also important to note that the ‘Red Lip’ is known to be worn as a bold, statement Lip colour to vamp […]
**This review is not sponsored** On a recent Instagram post, I shared my unboxing of a new brush set I received from of Mikasa Beauty. I wanted to share my thoughts on one of their brush sets I received, as I’ve used them enough to explain how much I love this bundle! Mikasa Beauty is […]
