Amy Childs at Lipsy clothing line launch

Here at Annabelle's Wigs - www.annabelleswigs.co.uk we are very proud of Amy and her new clothing line that she launched today.

She looked amazing in all 3 outfits she wore to launch her new clothing range.

We are also so happy that she could show off her new locks - not glue in extensions but our very own 3/4 hair piece which you can purchase through our website.

This 3/4 wig comes in two lengths - The Michela and the extra long length - The Kate

The hair used for these two pieces is flexi hair which is heat proof up to heats of 110 degrees so that the pieces themselves can be straightened, curled and styled any way you like to.

Amy's hair colour is Cherry red, but these pieces also come in a selection of blond and brunette colours.

Amy teamed up her hair piece with a plait headband which we think looks ultra cute.
You can also get your Annabelle's Wigs headband from us by clicking on This Link

Amy Childs wears Annabelle's Wigs to her Hair Vajazzle launch

Amy Childs phoned me at Annabelle's Wigs asking to wear our Blonde Bob to launch her new hair vajazzles today so last night I set about decorating the bob using her hair  vajazzles so that it could be worn to today's launch.
Firstly, the vajazzles themselves are super cute - I love the hearts, they are amazing.
Second, the hair vajazzles are so quick and easy to attach to your hair - you simply apply them using your hair straighteners and the jewels will stay set in their place.

I started off by decorating the wig with the vajazzles that had been supplied to us, and got to work putting them all around the front and sides of the wig;

Then today we drove to Amy's house to place the wig on her.  When wearing a wig, it is best to pin up all your hair as flat as possible so that you don't have any unwanted hair showing.

Once we had tried the wig on, we decided to add a few more jewels so that it shimmered as much as possible during the launch of her new product;

And the outcome????

How to define your lips and make your lipstick last all day

Lipstick is making a comeback! so if you are used to just applying a gloss or lip balm take heed of these tips for you.

Always line your lips using a lip liner - this can be either a nude colour or can be matched up with the lipstick that you are using.

Why use a lip liner? for 3 main reasons;

1. to define the shape of your lips

2. to stop your lipstick from bleeding over the edges

3. it helps your lipstick stay on for longer.

When you line your lips you have to decided whether you are lining them exactly on your existing line whilst trying to even your lips up (nones lips are symmetrical), whether you want to line your lips just inside your existing outline (making them slightly smaller) or just outside your existing lip line (making them slightly bigger)

Also, take a look at your cupids bow (top lip) to decide whether they are rounded or more pointy, then change them to meet your requirements.

Once you have lined ALWAYS apply your lipstick using a lip brush (this helps the shape but also keeps your lipstick on for longer)

Do layer your lipstick up so that it has full staying power - the old tip of blotting and powdering between layers really does work so you can choose to do this if you like although watch out for your lips feeling a bit too 'powdery'

Finishing touches;

Gloss if you want a shiny finish.

If you want to bring out a 'pout' to your lips, dab a little shimmer gloss or shadow to the middle of your lips top and bottom then blend.

I always set all make up using a fixier spray that makes it all waterproof and sweat proof!

How and Where to Apply blusher, plus what colour suits your skin tone

This video demonstrates how and where to apply blusher.

When I teach my Make up courses, I always come across people using Bronzer as their blusher - this is a big NO NO! why?......... well, for a few reasons;
1. no one blushes orange! (therefore your blush doesn't look natural)
2. normally blushers have sparkle and shimmer in them which makes your cheeks look like they are sweating!
3. because bronzer if for finishing off your make up so that you have a tint of a tan or holiday look about you.

The other huge mistake that most people make is that they apply their blusher with a great big brush.  This is wrong because;
1. Your cheeks aren't actually that big!
2. you need to be able to control where you place your blusher and you can't do this with a huge brush.
3. Using a big brush will just apply blusher onto the whole of your face when really you need to define and sculpt your cheeks to complete your make up look.

So, a few pointers;
1. use a good sized blusher brush such as this one from Victoria Loves Beauty

Professional Angled Contour Face/Cheek Makeup Brush £10.99
Because this one is angled, you have control over where you place your blusher and how much blusher you apply.
2. think about what colour you naturally blush, or what shade your faces turns when you have worked out - is it more pinky? Red? or Orange?
3. Once you have worked out what colour your naturally blush, apply this colour to your cheeks for a very natural glow.

How to get the most out of your face shape;
If your face is quite long, you don't want to elongate it further so rather than applying your blusher where your cheek bones currently are, bring your blush out horizontally so that it create the illusion of your face being shorter.
If your face is short, apply your blusher in a vertical way from the apples up and out towards your hair line, or temples.
If you want to slim your face, apply blusher to the apples of your cheeks then shade the outer sides of your face.

I will post a video demonstrating how to shade and highlight soon so that you can get the complete finished look.

Make up tips to make your eyes appear bigger, wider, brighter and more almond shape

The above video is a demonstration of tips and tricks of how to make your eyes appear bigger, wider, brighter and more almond shape.

When we look at the face there are certain measurements to take account of.  These measurements are based on 'the perfect oval face shape' and using this it will help us to understand the differences that we need to make to our faces to create an illusion to others.

In the case of the eyes - if you measure how wide your eye is using your thumb and forefinger, this should be the same distance that you have between your eyes (above the nose) and either side of your eye (towards your hair line);

Now that you have checked your measurement, you should have learned if your eyes are wider apart or closer together - now apply make up to create the illusion that they are in the 'perfect place'

If you want to give the illusion that your eyes are further apart, always keep your eyeshadow colour lighter on the inside (closer to your nose) and create a darker look on the outside (near hairline)

Alternatively if you want to give the illusion to bring your eyes closer together, use a darker colour on the inside - also make your eyebrows a bit longer towards the beginning of them (above the nose)

If your eyes don't have much of an eyelid, create a new eye socket by looking directly into a mirror and placing the eyeshadow on your eye where the skin falls with it open - use this as a guideline of where to create your socket.

If your eyes close towards the outer corner and you want to separate them making them more oval shaped, simply place a whit dot on the outer corner between where your eyelashes grow out from.

If you want to brighten your whole eye areas, take a concealer pencil and line your eyes on the inner skin both above an below your lashes.

Always finish with plenty of mascara to open up your eyes and remember, if you want your lashes to look thicker apply eyeliner above and below your lashes to crate this illusion.

Happy make up experimenting!

How to create a natural day time eyeshadow look

This video demonstrates how to create a natural fresh day time look with your eyeshadow, using fresh colours.

So many people often opt for the 'safe ' option when applying their eyeshadow, often opting for browns and golds and neutral tones.

Don't be scared with using colours - this video will help to show you how to apply and blend colours so that they look natural.

I have used greens and golds and pink eyeshadow in my video, so just have a little fun playing around and see what you like and what suits you.

You can choose your eyeshadow to complement what colour eyes you have or a contrasting colour to really bring them out, or you can choose colours to match your outfit or just depending on your mood.

My next blog will help you with finishing off your final look and includes small tips and tricks which will help you with how to make your eyes look, brighter, wider and fuller.

I hope you enjoy :-)

Harry Derbridge wearing Annabelle's Wigs to his Wig Party with the TOWIE cast

8.30am on Friday 13th and I get a phonecall from Annabelle's Wigs. www.annabelleswigs.co.uk
"Amy, we are going to Essex - we have been asked to put on our wigs and style them for Harry Derbridge's 18th Birthday Party. - We are providing wigs for Harry, Amy Childs, Jessica Wright, Claireabella and family!"

First things first, Harry wants a wig with a quiff, so I have to make one! - We decide to opt for a short blonde wig which I style so that it has a big quiff and brush the sides back.  Once happy, we are ready to go!

Ok! I say so we pack up our wigs, get in the car and drive to Essex. - With Harry's wig safely strapped into the back seat; Harry's Wig

Our first stop is with Claireabella - who makes the most beautiful bags www.claireabelladesigns.co.uk
She is the most adorable person, as is her husband and they are so excited for their business going stateside soon!

She opts for a Pastel Pink Wig, then off we go.....

Next stop is Amy Child's House.
At her house is Amy, her mum and Harry.  We promptly unpack all of our wigs and before you know it we have a whole table full with quite a few people in the room very excited to try them all on.

So, who's first then? Harry sits down, I put the wig on him and he loves it - infact he can't stop looking at himself!

It is now Amy's turn to sit down - She has already decided which wig she is wearing so we start off by playing around with a few different wigs for her to try on - We start with the 3 quarter piece from the Lino range to match her own colour - it provides length and volume like never before.
Next we go onto a Short Blonde Bob which really suits Amy - She loves it, so we leave it for future use.
Lastly we put on her decided wig - The Black Bob

At this point, Harry decides that he should try on the Bright Red Wig to see if it will go with his blue suit - It looks great! - So I set about styling it to look more like his own hair style.

Once we have put wigs and pieces on her friends and family, we are off to our last stop - Jessica Wright.  Who firstly tries on a long blonde wig which looks hot! before deciding to opt for the red wig to go with her outfit. Red Wig

Once we are 'wigged' out, off we go to the party (Harry invited us earlier) at 'The Sugar Hut' in Essex and enjoy partying the night away with everyone.

We couldn't have hoped to meet such nice, nice people.
And already, the results are all over the media - starting with the Daily Mail on Line

Here are some tweets from people -
