Turbans, Red Lips and not so Glamorous Glamour.....

I've kinda been pottering around the house today and like usual not getting a whole lot done, I keep getting distracted reading everyone's lovely blogs.
When the postman called earlier than usual this morning (new pin curl clips - yay) I'm wearing No makeup and was still in what I like to call 'My Comfys' then to make matters worse I had to go out onto the street to fetch the dog who was saying 'Hello, please stroke me' to the world - ugh!

 - Literally my eye bags look and feel massive today, kinda like they've been to Sainsburys for their weekly shop and came away with a whole months worth! It probably has something to do with being awake until gone 3am - another lesson I wish I could learn, the 'Art of Sleep'....
 just wish my mind would switch off every now and then and if not for a while in the early evening, then preferably sometime before midnight! ........and breathe..........phew I was going off on a tangent there, so anyway, thank the Lord for concealer, a bit of red lippy and a turban to cover my rootage!

Needless to say, I am feeling so much happier now I'm under the cover of my foundation and mascara :)

I picked this turban up in a vintage shop in Brighton last year, I love that even with simple makeup it can create that glamorous look - and on a very dull, very windy day like today - Glamour is absolutely required, always!

It's like I'm in a Hollywood Glamour Movie - but without the glamour, or infact the Movie - but hey, I like to play at these things and what would life be like if we didn't seize the moment every once and awhile?!

I want to try out some makeup looks for different era's and I stumbled upon a really good makeup blog earlier on, so I'm keen to have a go. What era do you like best? Do you have any suggestions on what look I should attempt to re-create?
