Okkkkkk, so firstly I cleansed my face using my Vichy One Step Cleanser, because I like it and I like it because it's good, shit's simple. Not only is it tested under dermatological control, but also ophthalmological, which I think is mint because I get particular about eye products what with only having one to hand. I then went ahead and toned my skin, for this I use the Dr Jart Tight Effect Toner, which is good if you get oily skin in the summer, which I seem to be doing, as its oil controlling, with sebum absorbing powder so you have to give it a shake and I just wipe that on with a cotton wool pad. And this toner actually feels good, normally I dont notice anything, but I like this stuff! Cool, so next, I moisturize with my usual La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo. Then finally protect my skin with SPF and I use the La Roche Posay one with SPF 30, I use this every day, even if its cloudy as sun damage is the main cause of aging (NO) ((look, sneaky skincare routine))
Firstly, I took a small amount of my Vichy Dermablend on my Real Techniques expert face brush and only applied this to the centre of my face as thats where I get the most redness. I also concealed my birthmark using my MAC Studio Finish Concealer.
For my contouring/bronzing, I didnt want to have to use powder bronzer, so I mixed a small amount of my Bourjois Bronzing Primer with my foundation and applied this to the outer of my face, this helped create a shadow around my jaw and under my cheekbones. To highlight I used YSL Touche Eclat to the high points of my face, this helped give my face a lot more dimension and glow.
For my eyebrows I've been trying out this Collection brow crayon in the shade Blonde, i've only bought it recently to try out so I will update you to see how I like it.
For my eyeshadow, I kept things pretty simple and stuck to my Naked 2 Palette, I used Foxy, which is the lightest matte colour and took it all over the lid to the brow bone, then just added a small amount of Tease, which is the dark greyish mauve, to the socket line. For liner I tried something which I dont usually do (except from when I was 12) and used black pencil, this is a Rimmel one, and tight lined my top and bottom waterline, I then smudged a small amount across the top lashes. I applied Deigo Dalla Palma mascara to curled lashes andddd thats the eyes done!
Finally, I powdered the areas I concealed and then through the centre of my face with my Rimmel Stay Matte powder. And I'm actually going to fess up and say that I did start off by loving this powder but recently I've noticed that it does wear off fairly quickly and can sometimes look a little cakey and i'm not a fan of the talc in it, but it is cheap. Swings and round-a-bouts. I finished the make up of with a bit of my Clinique Chubby Stick in Whoppin Watermelon.
For my outfit, I decided to go for my Levi cut off shorts, pared with this over sized breton top from Topshop, with a belt which is supposed to be a waist belt, but the smallest size was too big for me, so I made an extra hole and just wore it slouchy. It's really a cool black belt with small aztec symbols and animals around the back. The neon green/yellow jacket is also from Topshop (could you tell I had some vouchers?), I thought it was real cool, but my sister said it looked like a high-vis jacket. (prepare for some fashhhunnn photos)
For my shoes I wore my red leather boots from Kurt Geiger, which I absolutely love, they've got a cool creeper style sole to them as well and I wear them all the time!
