Hello everyone!
This week, I’ve decided to do something a little different. Well, not exactly different, as the following post is exactly the type of thing I want to incorporate into my blog, as well as lifestyle (like the last two posts) and fashion (fashion posts will be coming!)
So, here’s my go-to, everyday make up look, as well as a step-by-step guide on how I did it! I am obviously very young and no professional at make up, but I do enjoy applying it and styling it. Any constructive criticism would be appreciated though, so don’t be afraid to comment below any stuff like that, or any suggestions for future posts, and I will happily read them and reply!
First of all, after cleansing, toning and moisturising my face, I take my Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser and apply that generally over my cheeks, lower forehead and nose. I just purchased this stuff, and although some of my friends have told me that they didn't really like it, I feel as though it works really well for me and prevents my typically frequent breakouts after applying makeup.
Next, I take my Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge and use that to apply the CoverGirl TruBlend Foundation in the shade L6, or buff beige. I do really like this foundation because it blends super well and is very light, but I wouldn't recommend it to people who prefer a thicker foundation with a heavier coverage. You can build this one up, but I prefer to keep it light and fresh looking.
Then, after applying my foundation, I take my E.L.F Complete Coverage Concealer palette in the shade light and use the third colour from the left to conceal my spots, redness and blemishes; and take the second colour from the left to conceal my under-eyes as well as brighten them. I apply the concealer using my middle or ring finger.
Next, I set my base by using Nude by Nature's Mineral Finishing Veil for all skin tones, and apply that generously all over my face to ensure that my foundation and concealer will not move around during the rest of my makeup application as well as throughout the day. I apply this using the middle brush in the following photo.
After my base has been set, I move on to lightly bronze my face under my cheekbones and across the very top of my forehead, right on the hairline. I like doing this specifically in summer because it gives my face a glow as well as making me look more tan! I use Rimmel London's Natural Bronzer in the shade 025/sun glow. I also use the middle brush to apply this product.
Next, I lightly highlighted my face to give myself some glow and brighten my complexion. I took the brush on the far left from the photo above and took the following champagne-type shade to highlight my face. I applied this along my cheekbone, down the centre of my nose, and also on my cupids bow just above my upper lip.
Then, I move onto filling in my eyebrows. I do sometimes brush them using your bog-standard eyebrow brush, but they are usually pretty tame. To fill them in, I use E.L.F's eyebrow kit in the shade Ash. I usually use this kit in the shade medium as it suits my natural colour a bit better, but the pharmacy had run out of that shade so I settled for the next closest colour, Ash. I use the right colour to fill in my brows and then set them with the left colour. The right colour is a liquid-gel type texture and the left colour is a powder. I use the brush on the far right in the photo below to apply this kit.
Once my brows are finally done, they do take a while, I move onto eyeshadow. For this look, I took Maybelline's The Nudes palette and applied the colour in the top left all over my eyelid, then applied the colour in the top right into my crease to contour my lid. Next, I took the colour in the bottom left corner and lined my lower lash line with it, and took the colour in the bottom right corner and applied that to my inner corner to give some highlight to my eyes and brighten them. I used the brush on the far left from the photo above to apply my eyeshadow.
Then it's onto my lashes! I take this really inexpensive eyelash curler from Farmers and curl my lashes, then take my Rimmel London Extra 3D Lash in the shade 003/extreme black, and apply a few coats to my upper lashes, then one coat to my bottom lashes. I live off this mascara! It applies so easily and the applicator brush prevents any clumps. It gives my lashes so much length and the right amount of volume for an everyday look!
After my lashes are done, I move onto lips, and take my EOS lip balm in the scent Pomegranate Raspberry and apply that throughly over my lips. My choice of lip balm differs everyday depending on the dryness of my lips and what one I feel like using on that specific day. I usually differ between this EOS lip balm and my Lucas' PawPaw Ointment. Once I have applied my lip balm, I will either apply a lipstick on top or leave my lips natural, but today I chose to apply my Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in the shade 131/ginger rose. This is quite a pink-toned nude colour which I really love for an everyday look.
And here is the finished look! I really hope you guys enjoyed this blog post and you want more of these to come, I really loved making and writing it. Thank you so much for checking out my blog! Enjoy the rest of your week.
