Big trend 2012 pastel make up YUMMINESS

Following hot on the heels of the massive pastel hair trend last year, is the fabulous 'fit for a princess' pastel make up! It fills my heart with the dreams & fantasies of the 9 yr old girl I once was! BLESS.

Mixed with candy floss hair colours it's straight out of the 'my little pony' colour palette! With a nostalgic love for unicorns, gems and glitter, this trend is perfect for the whimsical fantasy lovers amongst us. Personally I still get a kick from the smell of a new plastic toy or pencil case, collecting stickers, finding novelty erasers and sticking gems to everything! Kawaii fans everywhere will understand that feeling! 

Softly sheer with iridescent shimmer it's perfect to mix with edgy nu-goth outfits, studded shorts, cartoon tee, spiked accessories, bleachy denim, alien/horror themed jewellery, flower crowns hair adornments & goth platforms/creepers. PERFECT!

Love this above image from Mac, totally sums up the trend, with this key look. I haven't invested in any Mac products yet, but with a strong following amongst fashion insiders and make up artists alike, I think I'll be buying soon!

For Eyes I'd reccommend Givinchey's Prisme seen here, 


plus Bourjouis have lots of lovely pastel shades, and this L'oreal silver is a favourite of mine for inner corners of my eyes.

and a pastel blush by Missha....

FOR LIPS I'd recommend the lipstick sensations LIMECRIME!!! Sexy colour chart & link shown here-

How badass are these shades? They have cute names like 'airborne unicorn', 'no she didn't' and 'great pink planet'!


For contrast try deep shades to add more 'Goth' to your pastel eyes with 'Styletto'&'Glamour101, or stay pastel on the lips with the icy 'd'lilac'or the edgy 'mint to be'. Either way I'M IN LOVE!

So its seems the pastel hair trend lives on stronger than ever, which is making me think about bleaching the B'jesus outta my hair, and going pastel pink or lilac!? OR BOTH! Say good bye to soft conditioned hair, hello candy floss locks! After finding this picture of Drew I decided it must happen ASAP!!!
















I will update you on my progress.. FORMOREYUMMINESS...http://sisterpsyche.tumblr.com/

(All images are easily found by searching pastel make up & hair on Google images if you want to find the sources, sorry quick post no time to link them up.)

What is PASTEL GOTH you say?

SO you say...WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT? And why has your blog turned into a Japanese teenage girls wet dream? Okay I'm sorry that I'm to old to hang out with teenagers but that 

doesn't mean i don't love teen style! I've picked out some images that I think sum up what Pastel Goth is about, from what I can see it's a softened interpretation of goth (which is a trend I personally never move on from) scene,(dare I say it a little bit emo) and a whole lotta KAWAII. And I'm not ashamed to say I think it's just adorable! Teen bloggers and TUMBLR addicts are all over this trend. You heard it here first!

I love the chalky washed out hair colours, Skeletons, strong lip colour & gothic make up, DIY, studded everything, A BIT PUNKY AND A BIT GRUNGY, sheers, PASTELS OBVIOUSLY, flower crowns and plastic princess tiara's (made famous by THE most famous teen blogger Tavi, aka..ROOKIE. If you haven't heard of her....like.where have you been?!)

Picture below, Machine A (check out that rockabilly hair do!), Audrey Kitching in middle (one of the most famous 'Scene Queens' is the perfect model with her ever changing candy floss hair!)And Clash magazine:

Japanese street fashion has a lot to do with the Harajuku/ Lolita/ CUTE/ princess aesthetic, and my new favourite brand NIKKILIPSTICK really packs a punky pastel coloured punch.

 

POLYVORE is the perfect place to see how the teens are playing with this trend,and great if you are not sure which items you'd like to invest in. 

Uk blogger (http://kaylahadlington.blogspot.co.uk/) bopped this trend on the nose A while back with this perfectly co ordinated hair and shirt combo and lush black lips. 

Last summer Pastel dip dyed cut offs started to emerge and now this kind of studded customised badboys are set to stay a little longer! And I'm very happy about that, as I'm still to find my perfect bleachy, purple tinted cross encrusted pair! We will only know to stop lusting after them once TOPSHOP out out a meek watered down version. If it ends up in TOPSHOP the trend is well and truly over. Well that's my opinion and I'm not gonna change it for nobody.

currently obsessing over

Nike Air Max Trainers. Just bought the Rainbow pair to cheer me up whilst running. And also I sold my old smelly trainers to a foot fetishist. No lie.
