Favourite Lipsticks

I'm not a major lippie girl really, the bother of reapplying through out the day. Sometimes I get in a mood where I do put in the effort, mainly for parties or events as such. BUT when I have those moments I use these lipsticks.

Back To School || Makeup

                   

    

School is just around the corner! We all need a quick makeup routine for school because we're up early and only have so much time to get ready. Makeup for school should be light but also show that we made an effort haha.

Foundation isn't necessary unless you want it but if you do decide to wear foundation, try a light coverage. It doesn't look as cakey and heavy, and plus you won't get in trouble for "wearing too much makeup". I use the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation!

To hide those bags under our eyes, use an under eye concealer! Heck even go a shade lighter than your skin-tone so it makes you look more awake. Bourjois CC eye cream.

For mascara, you want one that will last all day and not melt down your face from the slightest tear from yawning. Mascara opens up the eye, making it look bigger than it is. Perfect. Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara.

Filling in your brows and putting on lipgloss is optional, it's up to you. Tidy eyebrows frame a face, remember. To show that you spent time on how you look, add some gloss to that pout. Rimmel London eyebrow pencil & Essence lipgloss.

Soft Spring Makeup Look!

Today's post is all about how to achieve this look, to be honest it's a very simple easy look!

I was lounging around and decided "why not post about my makeup?"

I'd say this is suitable for everyday, not too much but not too little either.

I'll list the steps of how I applied my makeup and what makeup I used.

Makeup used:

-Benefit Cosmetics the POREfessional

- Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation 

-Collection Long Lasting Concealer

-Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder 

- Seventeen Define & Conquer contour kit

-Rimmel blush in the shade 

-Soap & Glory Arch brow tint & pencil

-Essence lash & brow gel

-Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette, 'Strange' and 'Dust'

-Benefit Cosmetics, 'Dandy Brandy'

- Benefit Cosmetics They're Real Mascara

-Benefit Cosmetics Boiing

Steps:

1- Apply primer to where it's needed, I applied it close to my nose because that's where I find my make up moves from.

2- Blend foundation into your skin, for this I used a Real Techniques buffing brush!

3- Apply concealer to cover spots, redness, dark circles etc...

4-To set our base, use a translucent powder!

5- next I contoured my face lightly so that it's suitable for day time and not too dramatic.

6- On top of the contour, I applied blush to my cheekbones and blended the contour and blush so there wasn't any harsh lines.

7- For the eyes I patted 'Dust' all over the lid, blended 'Dandy Brandy' into the crease and put a little bit of 'Strange' in the corner of my eyes to look more awake.

8- Then I curled my lashes and used a coat of mascara on them!

9- I filled in my brows and tidied up the ends with concealer to make them look sharp.

10- To finish off this look I applied some soft pinky lipstick!
