Helllooooo everyone, its been a while I know!! But hopefully am back for good, I just keep getting so busy with work and family.... but don't worry my love for make up has not died, lol and I hope to blog a lot more this year :)
So recently I keep waking up late maybe because its so cold and I don't want to leave my cosy bed so I have to opt for a quick simple make up look that still looks good. This look has been my go to routine for the last few weeks....
My foundation routine is pretty much still the same as I like to stick with what I know works for me. Trying new foundations on my skin never goes down too well! But one thing that I have added into my foundation routine is The Body Shop Insta Blur face primer which is absolutely amazing, for anyone that suffers from oily skin, this is a must have. I love this product as it gets rid of all the grease and gives my make up a lovely matte finish. I put it on after I have primed my face with my other Body Shop face primer as the Insta Blur is very matte I only like to use it on my T zone. I then put my foundation and concealer on as normal and set this all with my face powder.
Once my base was set I used this gorgeous shimmery colour (Sidecar) from my Naked palette which I applied with my finger all over my eye lid and also on the inner corner of my eye to make my eyes look brighter. I tend to get red eyes in the morning so to make me look more awake I like to line my water line with a nude eye pencil, I think this really works well to make your eyes look more fresh first thing in the morning. I then applied a generous amount of this new mascara I have been trying out which I really like as it adds more volume to my lashes.
Moving on to the cheeks I applied my shimmer waves Body Shop bronzer as this adds a nice touch of colour to my face without looking too harsh. As you can see I have grown out my brows and made them a lot fuller which is a lot easier to maintain but as there are still a few sparse areas I like to fill my eye brows in using an ashy brown eye shadow with a slanted brush.
Finally finishing off with the lips. Recently I have been loving this lip combo (Revlon lipstick in shade 016 Heart Breaker and Maybelline lip liner in shade Wine) as its such a nice winter colour and I always find that a bold lip instantly makes you look more made up which is great for when you don't have much time to focus on the eyes. Although with this being such a simple look any lip colour would look good with it!
Enjoy and until next time...
