Back to School Makeup!

Hello Everybody!

Today i am going to show you how i would do my makeup if i were going to be going back to school. I wore makeup very similar to this when i did go to school and it was so hard keeping all of the makeup to a minimum because in my school you were allowed to wear no makeup what so ever. obviously I'm not condoning wearing make up to your school if you're not allowed to but this is how i would have done mine.

So firstly you want to start with a foundation that is very similar to your natural skin tone as this is going to be the mail base of your make up, apply to all blemishes and under the eyes with a sponge. I am using the Real Techniques miracle complexion sponge and Collection Lasting perfection concealer in shade 1.

Secondly apply an extremely thin layer of foundation, again you want this to be as close as your natural skin tone you can get it because if there are streaks or that horrible line you get on your jawline if you don't blend properly then it will make it very obvious that you are wearing foundation,but if the colour matches your natural skin tone it will be very hard to see them. You also don't want the foundation to look cake just a little dewy. I am using the Real Techniques Buffing brush and Tarte Rain Forest of the Sea in the shade Light Sand.

Next is eyebrows, again use a very minimal amount just to define the shape more than to fill in, you still want to be able to see the hairs just so that it will look a lot more natural rather then bold and obvious. I am using eyeshadow on my eyebrow from the SmashBox Full Exposure eye pallet in the shade M1. Then you want to set the hairs in place and comb the product through the eyebrows just to make 100% sure that it look natural. I am using the Soap and Glory Archery brow pencil in the shade Brownie points.

 After this were going to move onto the eyes. With the eye make up or all of the make up in fact you want to steer completely clear of shimmery products because obviously that's not natural so were are going to go for matte very neutral tones, for the eyes I am using the Tartelette in Bloom pallet using the shade Flower Child and just applying this to the lid.

You then want to move onto the crease, for the crease colour you only want to use a shade slightly lighter than the lid colour just to add a bit of a shadow and definition but anything a lot darker will defiantly be more obvious so for my crease i used the shade Smarty Pants and blended it with a spectrum marble collection brush ( I'm not sure what the actual name of the brush is.) Make sure your crease is very well blended to ensure you have no harsh lines.

After this you are going to want to take some mascara and scrape all of the excess product off of the wand to that you don't apply too much and apply a very thin even coat just so they look darker not so that they look thicker. I am using Clinique High Impact Mascara.

Then you can apply some bronzer but only pick a shade a little bit darker than your skin toned only apply under the cheekbones and a tiny bit on the temples just to chisel your face a little bit and again make sure you blend extremely well. I am using the NYX Highlight and Contour Pallet in the shade Toffee/Caramel.

Almost finished, you should then take some matte pink blusher and very lightly rub onto your cheekbones making sure to tap the excess off of your brush, this is just to put a little bit of colour back into your face so again you really don't need to use much, you will also want to use a large brush for this to help your product go on more evenly. I am using the Smashbox blush in the shade Passion and the Real Techniques Bold Metals 103 brush.

Lastly is lips, with wearing lip products to school you want to completely stay away from lipsticks and instead go for a tinted lip balm, apply this with your finger so that the colour isn't too bright. I am using the Zoella Kissy Missy lip balm so not only will your lips look pretty but they will be kept moisturised.

And that's everything that i would put on my face for school, i really hope you found this useful. Please feel free to leave a comment or share with your friends it would be much appreciated. Thank you so much for reading :)

My Face Products!

Hello Everybody!

Long time no see. Today I will be showing you what face products I have as another part of this little series of make up posts I'm doing so please let me know what you think I would love to hear form you :)

so lets get started 

1) NARS Sheer Glow - Mont Blanc
I bought this foundation just because I saw lots of people raving about how amazing it is so I wanted a piece of that candy and bought it. In my opinion as someone with a lot of blemishes it hasn't got the best coverage but, with a bit of concealer your'e good to go. It also makes your complexion look beautifully smooth and dewy.

2) Seventeen Instant Glow - Gold Bronze
This was the first highlighter I bought and I love it. Its quite cheap but very good quality and gives off such a beautiful glittery sheen.

 



















3) Maybeline Dream Fresh BB Cream- Light
I bought this just to see what the BB cream hype was all about and like I said I have a lot of blemishes so there was no where near enough coverage so I don't really use this much and will probably never buy it again.  

4) Urban Decay Pore Perfection Complexion Primer Potion
Woah that's a mouthful haha. I love this primer, it smooths out my skin leaving it looking like silk and gives your foundation an airbrushed finish as well as being a very good base for your foundation to stick to it is very long lasting.

5) NARS Blush - Super Orgasm
Imagine how awkward it is for me to ask for this blush at the Nars counter lol. This blush instantly caught my eye as I was browsing through a Nars counter one day it is a beautiful peachy pink colour with super pretty flecks of gold glitter. I wear this blush literally everyday.




















6) Rimmel Wake Me Up- 103 True Ivory
This is the foundation I use when I have a bit of a tan, its a bit darker than my skin tone and the coverage is medium to heavy however, I don't feel like this foundation lasts very long but that may be because I have oily skin.

7)Rimmel Stay Matte - 103 True Ivory
This used to be my go to foundation before sheer glow, it is very heavy coverage and like it says in the name it stays matte all day so you don't even need to apply powder to set or reduce shine because it stays on all day too!

8) M.A.C Wash And Dry Bronzer
This is also my go to bronzer, it suits my skin perfectly and it blends very easily and has a slight shimmer to it and makes you look perfectly bronzed.

9) Collection Lasting Perfection concealer- 1 Fair + 2 Cool Medium
Iv'e used this concealer for as long as I can remember, the coverage is the best iv'e ever seen and it lasts all day long I honestly cant fault it.

10) Tanya Burr cheek pallet- Peachy Glow
I love the colours of everything in this pallet they're beautiful, what I also love is how everything you need to do your blush highlighter and bronzer is all in one place. The very beautiful Tanya Burr has made such a lovely product with a lot of love and care put into them. I am a very big fan of all of her products!

11) Rimmel Stay Matte Translucent powered
I just use this over the top of my sheer glow foundation to set it into place and reduce a bit of the shine, I will then reapply throughout the day again just to tame the shine a little bit.

12) Benefit High Beam
This is a liquid highlighter which I love but am not obsessed with. I find liquid highlighters a little bit harder to blend and I can never get the natural looking glow that I can get with a powder highlighter but none the less its very pretty.

13) Smashbox Bronzer ( I don't know the shade sorry)
I got my makeup done at a smashbox counter a while ago and she used this on my face which back then looked okay because I used to regularly fake tan but now I think it looks a bit too orangey for my skin but would look lovely with a tan.

14) M.A.C Mineral Highlighter (Again don't know the shade) 
Iv'e had this for years, I should probably throw it away but its so beautiful and so glittery, this stuff is kinda weird though, when you apply it, it feels damp on your face for a little while but then just feels like powder but its amazing stuff.

15) Smashbox Photo Finish Primer
again the lady at the smashbox counter put this on my face and it works very well iv'e actually used up the one that I bought so I now just have the testers she gave me, this primer really makes your foundation adhere to your face which I love.

And that is all of my face products I hope you all enjoyed. Feel free to leave a comment below and share with your friends if your feeling generous, it would be much appreciated.
