SUMMER FACE

Hey! So it's actually summer now, so I thought I would create a summer sun inspired eye make up look.

So to start off with I used my Vichy dermablend mixed in with my La Roche Posay Anthelios SPF 30 just to create a more sheer effect and sun protection in super important during summer so don't skip it! And as usual I used my MAC studio finish concealer in NC20, I went a shade darker for summer (oo). And I haven't powdered yet because I just wanted it all to set into the skin and be able to correct it if any eyeshadow fell down.

For my eyebrows I used what I usually do which is MAC's Omega eyeshadow on an angled brush. To help my eyeshadow hold better, I used Maybelline's 24 hour colour tattoo in Permanent Taupe and over the top of that I used a wash of MAC Woodwinked . Blended into the outer corner I used MAC Sable and used MAC Nylon as an inner corner highlight. I took a fluffy brush to ensure these were all blended together real nice :-)

I ran a thin line of Maybelline's Gel liner in black across my lashline just to hide the spine of my false lashes. The lashes i'm wearing are the Eylure Natural's (I think, they come in different packaging to the usual and look super natural). I topped it off with Eyeko skinny brush mascara.

Okayyyyyyy, so for under eye concealer I used the Collection's lasting perfection concealer and then set everything in place with Rimmel Stay Matte powder. For the cheeks I used Rimmel's blush in Santa Rose and didnt apply any bronzer or contour as I didnt want it to look too heavy. For the lips I used Clinique chubby stick in Whoppin' Watermelon.

 

And thats it! I'm not gonna say that i'll upload weekly any more because i'm so bad at schedules, I'm free as the wind. But soon! Promise, hey, what's a couple'a week's between friends. Feel free to comment any looks you want me to recreate and see you soon!

PINK

Hello! I've finally got one day off from hayfever so today means pink. I've been planning some summer looks to show you so here is a quick bright lip to start with, i'm looking to create some celebrity looks and am excited to write up about these. I thought I would give you an update of whats been happening recently 1) laptop returned from the doctors 2) photo editing software is missing ((why??)) 3) I made a youtube video this week (...did not upload it, had crazy eye moment and no).

 So, THIS!

1) For summer I have been loving the bourjois bronzing primer and have been using this over the high points of my face where the sun would naturally hit. I've been wanting to wear less foundation for summer so I used a small amount of the bronzing primer with just some MAC studio concealer and a tiny bit of Rimmel Wake me up foundation. I wear the lightest colour in this foundation and it's still a little dark for me, so if you're any paler than me, then I wouldn't advise!

2) For the eyes I wanted to keep things fairly neutral but still golden and summery, for this I stuck to my naked 2 palette and used bootycall on the first half, half baked on the second half of the eye, ensuring both the colours are blended together.  I used a small amount of sable through the socket line with a small amount of blackout blended softly across the lashline. I then coated the top lashes in eyeko skinny brush mascara and a tiny amount on the bottom lashes as I wanted most the lash action to be on top.

3) For the lips I was feeling bright pink so I went for my deigo dalla palma lipstick in the shade 56. It's so summery and bright and I love it! I kept the cheeks clear as I used the bronzing primer before and still wanted to keep it quite natural (sans pink lip) 

So this is the quick and easy summer look, perfect for if you're in a rush and wanted to create something super easy but eye catching. I'll talk to you soon, hoping to upload a new post every week! :-)
