Makeup Look


I first started off with moisturising my face. For this I use Oiltum. Oiltum works really well under my makeup making it last well and not making my face greasy. I find when I've used some moisturisers under my foundation it makes my makeup seem like slide off. So this one works perfectly. I've filed in my eyebrows already as I didn't fancy taking some pictures of the face without, haha.
Now onto foundation. I used Revlon Photo Ready and a little bit of MAC Studio Fix Fluid. I didn't use a lot of makeup as I didn't think I needed it. As you can see it covered the redness of my face. This was because I just cleaned and exfoliated. I used Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in the shade 02. This is amazing at covering my under eye circles which I seem to suffer with. I also used it on any problem areas.
I then contoured using Sleeks Contour Kit in Light. I've has this for a while and have only just hit pan. I contour my cheekbones and around my temples. I then used MAC's Lady Blush on the upper apples of my cheeks and blended it out. I add it high up my cheeks and blend it out to give a more natural look.
For my eyes I applied MAC's eyeshadow in 'All that Glitters'. I love this because it brightness your eyes up without looking too glitzy. I used a deep brown shade from the MUA Heaven and Earth Palette in the crease to create more definition and then used a NARS Creme eyeshadow in Cayenne at the outer corners and blended out.
As I have brown hair I don't worry too much about my eyelashes. I just want to add volume. I curled my eyelashes with standard eye lash curlers and then gave them a coat of the Topshop Mascara. I then added a bit of Loreal Super Liner in Carbon Gloss to try and extend my eyelashes outwards. This is because I have quite small eyes and want to open them up. I then add a final coat of mascara to build up the volume.
I finish my adding a illuminating cream from Superdrugs Vitamin E Range. I use to use this under my foundation but found that it works best over it. I also added the highlighter from the Sleek Contour Kit around the corner of my eyes and down the centre of my nose.
Finally, I slapped on a bit of MAC's Creme Cup.
