Everyday/Work Make Up

Hello there!
So i thought while i was getting ready for work this evening i would tell you how to do this quick and pretty make up that stays in place for hours!




I generally do this in about 10 minutes tops! It's incredibly easy (:

  • I use a liole triple the solution bb cream instead of a primer because i find my skin is dry and its quite moisturizing whereas primers tend to dry my skin even more, the colour of it  also evens out my skintone and takes out any redness.
  • Recently i've been loving the Chanel vitalumiere aqua as it doesn't give a heavy coverage but gives a lovely dewy finish.
  • I then use "Constructavist" paint pot from MAC as an eyeshadow base (This thing does not smudge all day!)
  • I used MAC's "Antiqued" eyeshadow on top which is a red/warm brown .. very autumnal! and then MAC's "Twinks" in the outer corners of the eyelid to add a bit of depth. I then use a matte white or cream to highlight the brow bone and blend the crease line to make it more smoked out.
  • The eyeshadow is then done .. i move on to use a dark brown eyeliner like MAC's "Teddy" eyeliner or a plum colour like Baremineral's "4pm" to blend nicely with the colours instead of a harsh black line.
  • I then curl my lashes and apply mascara and the one i used today was lancome's "doll eye's" mascara.
  • Then back to the face! ... i found a baked bronzer/blush from Accessorize called "laguna" thats gives a lovely bronze without being too orange as well as a peach shimmer that's lovely! so i lightly apply that to the parts of the face that would naturally catch the sun such as the top of your cheeks, the sides of the forehead etc... i then use a little bit of Nars "laguna" to contour the hollows of my cheeks and some of the mememe liquid highlighter in "sunbeam" to highlight the top of the cheeks.
I then go under the eye with Bobbi Brown's corrector in "Light Peach" to clean up under the eyes and brighten it up a little.

If you wanted to leave it without a lip gloss or lipstick that's fine its versatile look that will look nice with most combinations (: 
in this picture though i was wearing the Bareminerals marvelous moxie lip gloss in A-lister 

Tada! Done (:
Such a pretty but easy look to do
I hope this helps you if you do want to try it out!
