JustJakia: September 2012

Helllo everyone, feels like forever since I last blogged, been so busy with work and weddings! Everytime I take pictures to do a blog I get caught up with other things! But this is a blog I have been wanting to do for a few weeks now as its all new make up products yay. A new brand that's out my comfort zone but am always up for trying new make up providing its good and let me tell you, this stuff is great! This is a make up brand called FX launched by three sisters that wanted to create affordable yet good quality natural Halal mineral make up. Definitely worth looking up :)

For this look I started off with my usual foundation routine, FX does do a face primer which my sister uses but I can not as am allergic to sun protection but the consistancy is really nice and thicker than the primer I use. After my base I primed my eyes with my Urban Decay eye shadow primer over which I then applied the colour Toasted from my Naked palette all over my eye lid and below my water line. Then I highlighted my brow bone with a creamy shadow and filled in my brows with a brown eye shadow from one of my Sleek palettes.

For my liner I used my FX black pencil liner to line both my tight-line and also my top lash line, I love the eye pencil as its so soft but also highly pigmented so very easy to apply and also quick. I then coated both my top and bottom lashes with a new mascara am trying out and loving, The falsies by Maybelline. The wand is rounded on one side and flat on the other which gives your lashes the length and volume. Eyes complete, I applied a pink blusher from my FX blusher palette on the apples of my cheek and used the highlighter above my cheek bones. The blushers are gorgeous and also very pigmented so you only need to apply a bit and they can also be used as eye shadows. Finally for my lips I used my FX hot pink lip liner. Although am more of a lipstick girl this lip liner is great as I can get a neat edge around my lips and it lasts way longer than a lipstick and of course its pink! I love this look as its very pinky and barbie like... which sums me right up lol! Only just started collecting FX make up and I will definitely be purchasing more, I think my next buy will be their eye shadow palette.. excited!!
