Today, I thought it would be nice to share a makeup look I've been enjoying recently, as it's been a while since I've posted beauty, and I've definitely been enjoying my reflection in the mirror when I've to finish carefully smearing it across my face.

Lately, I've found myself admiring Arden Rose's blue eye make up in her Instagram story one day, so I decided to pop some blue eye shadow on myself and see how it looked. Personally, I love how it turned out - I felt great the entire day I wore this, I think this may be a go-to look for when I fancy being a little more colourful with my makeup, especially now Spring is coming around.

Here's everything I slapped on my face to create this looks:

Marc Jacobs Coconut Primer
Marc Jacobs Re(marc)able Foundation in Ivory
Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in Ivory
Marc Jacobs Re(marc)able Concealer in Awake (similar linked)
Marc Jacobs #Instamarc in Mirage Filter
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Luminous Light
Clinique Blush in Pink Love
Maybelline Master Brow Pro Palette in Soft Brown
Urban Decay Full Spectrum Palette shades Metamorphosis, Blindsided and Minx
Tom Ford Eye Defying Pen
Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
Estée Lauder Lipstick in Venetian Rose (discontinued, sorry!)

This look also features in an upcoming video of mine, so subscribe to my Youtube Chanel if you're interested in seeing that!

What do you think? I love experimenting with different colours in my make up!

What's on my face?

Thursday, 8 September 2016

I used my brand new Morphe 35OS Palette for the first time this morning. Once I'd finished doing my makeup I loved the final look, so I decided to share everything I put on my face, along with my first impression of the palette.

The Base:

Too Faced Hangover Primer: I love this coconut scented primer. It keeps everything in place, and give a nice even base, and somewhat tacky texture to apply make up.

NYX BB Cream: This BB Cream is becoming my go to base product. It's perfect for when I want a light coverage and a natural look.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer: I used this concealer under my eyes because it really brightens up those dark circles.
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer: I popped this one over any blemishes, it's a bit more heavy duty and in a slightly darker shade than the Rimmel one.

The Complexion:

Annasatia Beverly Hills Cream Contour Kit (used the shade Havana): I simply used this to give myself some cheek bones, it's perfect to add a little 'shadow' to the face.

Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronze Universel: This cream bronzer blends like a dream and adds plenty of warmth to the face.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Luminous Light: The finely milled powder creates a dewy look and keeps makeup in place and from creasing. It's got some shimmer in it, so it's not the one if you want a matte finish to face. The product also works great as a light highlighter. I, however, wanted a dewy look so I popped this all over.

L'Oreal Blush Sculpt in Soft Rosy: A pop of this on the apples of my cheeks added the perfect amount of flush to my face.

Becca Champagne Pop - The infamous champagne pop highlighter, for the pink toned most shimmery highlight you could want.

The Brows:

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in the shade Auburn: This waxy pomade is perfect to fill in my brows.

The Eyes:
Morphe Palette 35OS: I used the brightest orange shade in the top corner and the red shade a shades down. I love an orange/red eye look, I think it's such an easy way to make a statement. I also popped a small amount of one of the brown shades to lightly line the top of my eyelid. On first impressions, all of the shades are very pigmented with a nice amount of shimmer. Everything blended really lovely, and I love the look these shades created. I went for the brightest shades in the palette because I wanted to experiment with creating a bold look using this palette - however it certainly has enough shades to create a neutral look if that's what you like. On first impressions I'm very happy with the palette!
No. 7 Lash Curlers: To give my straight lashes a bit of a lift
Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara: My favourite drugstore mascara, it does all the right things for my short lashes.

Lips

Estée Lauder Lipstick (the shade has unfortunately been discontinued): This lipstick is perfect for a natural looking pink-toned lip.

Setting:

NYX Dewy Finish Setting Spray: This setting spray is the perfect finish for this dewy look.

I'd love to hear what you think of this make-up look. I can see myself throwing this products on my face a whole lot more.
