♡ My Everyday Makeup ♡
March 11, 2013
In my last post I said I was probably going to do a collection of mine or talking about my nail polish rack... But I decided to wait on that because I wanted to do something involving makeup, and I thought it was probably best to start out with my "everyday makeup". Now I don't usually just go for one look each day because I like to switch it up and experiment with different colour combinations. But I usually do go for a look that has a shimmery pale colour all over the lid and a matte brown in the crease, so this is what I came up with. (:
Although this has nothing to do with what I'm talking about, I just wanted to show you what I have on my nails right now because I can not stop staring at them!!!
Before I put on any makeup I make sure I wash and moisturize my face with these two products. The face wash is amazing, I think that my skin looks awesome after I use it and my skin seems to have cleared up after using this for a couple weeks. It does say it is best used when in the shower because the steam helps to activate the cleanser, but you can use it out of the shower but it makes your skin feel more refreshed when used in the shower. I don't really have much to say about this moisturizer, Nivea is a great brand and i've been using this for about a year now and it is great for the day because it doesn't make your skin feel oily or heavy but i'm sure that there is way better moisturizers out there.
I love to contour my face with the NYC bronzer in Sunny with my EcoTools powder brush, the bronzer is the perfect shade and really affordable. I got this blush from a glossy box last year and it has a blue undertone and I love that about this blush, I do have to say that this is my go-to blush for everyday.
For this look I put the colour Sin from the Urban Decay NAKED pallet all over my lids. I forgot to get a picture of this but when my eyes are all done I use the shade Naked on an angled brush for my brows then comb them out with a spoolie brush. (Is that how you spell it? yikes)
Next I will take the shade Buck on my very fancy ELF blending brush to put into the crease for definition.
I use this EcoTools blending brush to get rid of any harsh edges, then I take Virgin on the same brush to highlight the brow bone and inner corner!
No photo will ever be able to do this stuff justice, it looks so pretty in the sunlight and isn't too much shimmer for daytime wear. It has a dropper applicator so I put one drop on my hand and use my finger to lightly pat it all over my eyelids.
I got this eyeliner in a IPSY glam bag last month and i've used it everyday since! It is so creamy and easy to use, I love it so much.
To finish off my eyes I curl my lashes with my Revlon eyelash curler and apply a very heavy coat (maybe a little too heavy as you can see my eyelashes are quite clumpy) of my Benefit They're Real mascara, if you haven't tried this stuff out... You really need to.
That was my everyday makeup look, I hope you liked it. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who followed me, I really appreciate it and the lovely feedback I received on my previous posts. Now enjoy some extra self takes left over from todays little photo shoot. :)
