I do change my style of make-up according to the season but I don't tend to change my core foundation or powder products unless I am looking really tanned and Ivory foundation, just doesn't cut it. High-end, drug store, it doesn't matter to me as long as the product works on my skin I don't mind but sometimes I do think that paying a bit more for products can be better for your skin in the long run but if drug-store works, then don't changed for the sake of high-end. Here's a look at what I've been loving in my everyday make-up lately:
Face
Every girl knows that finding the best, most suitable foundation for your skin type is a must; whether its powder, liquid or a mousse form foundation you need to choose what is best for your skin oppose to choosing the brand. For a while now, I have been using Bourjois Paris Healthy Mix Foundation in No. 51 Light Vanilla (but in the Summer months, I tend to go for No. 52 Vanilla). It’s one of the most beautiful silky foundations I’ve used; its undertones are peachy with a hint of yellow, it has even coverage and it is very buildable. This looks incredibly flattering on my skin tone, adding just a hint of soft glow, rather than a crazy shimmer, which makes it a great option for a day-time look.
With dark circles under my eyes and red belmishes on my skin, my face wouldn't be set without a good concealer and powder; I tend to go for Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer in Ivory and the Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder in Peach Glow.
Cheeks (Not normally included in the 'everyday look')
I don't tend to use Bronzing Powder or Blusher in my 'everyday work look'. I feel that when adding bronzer and blusher to your make up look, you need to have a bit more time than I do because if you add to much of either to your look - the results can be disasterous! But on the weekend, whether its hitting the town on a night out or lunch with a friend, I add either a bronzer or a blush to my look, here are my products of choice:
Eyebrows
I tend to use two products for my eyebrows; one for the outline and the other to fill in the brow itself. I opt for the Collection (which I always thought was called Collection 2000 but clearly they've dropped the 2000 part) Eyebrow kit in Brunette to outlined the brow and the Maybelline BrowSatin in Medium Brown to fill it in the brow - these products work extremely well together and are so easy to use, which makes my brows so easy to do, especially when I am half asleep.
Eyes
I love adding a splash of colour into my eye make-up but I like to keep it natural at the same time, my product of choice is the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. It is one of my favourite Urban Decay eye palettes, with both neutral and smoky colours, this palette allows you to create both everyday and evening looks.
I tend to use Foxy or Bootycall (light vanilla colours) all over my eye lids but really focusing on the inner corners of my eyes; however on the outer corners and throughout the eye lid crease I like to lightly add Chopper (smoky copper/pink), so that my blue eyes pop but the colour isn't overwhelming to look at. This colour looks incredible together and if you want to make this into an evening look, you can add YDK (shimmery brown) onto the outer corners and into the crease; but to complete this look no matter whether its day or night, I get a liner brush and add Blackout to my lashline as it makes your eyelashes look bigger. To complete this look, I use my DiorShow Mascara in Black, which helps to open up my eyes and makes my eyelashes really long.
Lips
There isn't much to say about my lips, during the days I like to keep them hydrated and looking fresh with my secret weapon - Nivea Lip Butter Caramel Creme - on a night out I will live it up with a bright coloured lipstick; red, pink, nude or peach.
Brushes
I have tonnes of make-up brushes; big, small, flat and fluffy but here are my brushes of choice for my everyday make-up look:
I don't know about you but I feel there was a pattern emerging between Bourjois Paris and Real Techniques but until the next time, Au Revoir!
