Normally when it comes to make up I keep it safe. However the other day I was watching the gorgeous Lily Melrose's 'Wild Beauty Challenge' and felt inspired. Dutifully I along with some friends went to the makeup mecca that is the Harvey Nichols Beauty Bazaar to pick up some bits to try it myself.
I ended up buying Vibrant Grape eyeshadow from Mac, a bright magenta purple and Nars laguna bronzer (not necessarily 'wild' but crazy compared to my usual).
I swapped gel liner for some Chanel Liner in Beryl in the waterline since having purple all around my eyes it seemed more important to make sure my waterline was bright and clear. I also added mascara to my bottom lashes which I never do! I made my brows more groomed than usual with the Suuqu brow felt tip and finished with lipgloss rater than my normal lipstick/lipliner combo.
All in all, I'm not going to be trading in my brown eyeshadows and cream blushers any time soon, but I actually loved wearing something different for a change. I felt like a badass for five minutes, until I started to run around my house looking for half decent lighting to take phone selfies in.
