Look of the Day - Bronze

Helllloooo my loveliesss :) This is another quick make up look that I did the other day! As usual I did my foundation routine but I did'nt use my Revlon concealer as recently I found that my eye bags have gotten worse (too much late night Family Guy) Soo I needed something with a lot more coverage and lasting power!!! I decided to try out my sisters new Lasting Finish concealer in shade 030 by Rimmel, which after using I loved as it's quite thick with a good coverage but also lasts the full day. Will defo be purchasing this for myself! 

After I set my base with powder I then used this gorgeous Bronze Colour Tattoo by EyeStudio all over my eye lid, as its a cream I didn't feel the need to apply my eye shadow primer. I then lined my top lash line with my MUA liquid liner in black and also lined half of my bottom lash line with a brown eye pencil. I finished off my eyes with a few coats of mascara on both my top and bottom lashes. 

For my cheeks I used my Shimmer Waves bronzer by Body Shop and then completed the look with this luscious hot pink MUA lip laquer in shade Funk which added a pop of colour to my look!  

Enjoy :)

Look of the Day - Shadow Liner

Hellloooooo my lovelies, as I was ill over the weekend (and still am) I wanted to do a simple look when I went out so I decided to do a winged liner with an eye shadow as my eyes kept watering and the last thing I wanted was black eyes from a black liquid liner, lol! 

I love wearing eye liner on the weekend as I don't really get time during the week so this look was perfect as it was a subtle liner due to the colour I chose. As usual I started with my foundation and eyebrow routine and primed my eyes with my Urban Decay eye shadow primer. I then applied the colour Nude from my Naked palette which gave my eyes a nice neutral base and also used the colour Virgin to highlight my brow bone. 

I then used the top dark brown colour from my MUA Heaven and Earth palette to line my top lid. I did this using my Shadow Line Liquid that came with my Mermaid eye shadow box featured in my previous blog. This liquid is amazing as it's clear, which you dip into any eye shadow and apply onto your eyelid like an eye liner as it makes the eye shadow into a paste. I absolutely love this product as it's so easy to use!! I then lined my bottom waterline with a nude eye pencil and coated my top lashes with a few coats of my current favourite mascara. 

I kept my cheeks neutral with my baked bronzer from Body Shop and used this gorgeous pink lippy by YSL (shade 09), I love all their lipsticks as they are so smooth and long lasting and the colours are divine!

Enjoy this simple, easy to do look :)

Look of the Day - Mermaid

Hellllooooo loveliess, can't believe its already March... time is flying by!! So I was sorting through my eye shadow palettes and rediscovered this Front Cover eye shadow box and fell in love with all the colours! They are all such beautiful shades of green and blue, colours I don't often wear but I really enjoyed doing this look. Definitely going to be using this palette more!

As usual I started off with my foundation routine as well as priming my eyes with my Urban Decay eye shadow primer. I also filled in my brows using my Brow Satin by Maybelline and highlighted my brow bone with the shade Cloud Dance from the palette. I then used the shade Sunray all over my eye lid as I wanted a neutral colour for the base of my eye liner. I lined my top lashes with my MUA liquid liner winging it out ever so slightly. I then used a Collection eye pencil in shade Grey to line my waterline which I went over with the shade Drifter to make the colour brighter. I love this combo together as it created a gorgeous blue shade which matched my head scarf. I finished off my eyes with a few coats of mascara on both my top and bottom lashes. 

Recently I have been using my baked bronzer by Body Shop on my cheeks and I love the colour as its a subtle bronze peachy shade which adds a lovely glow to the face. For my lips I kept it neutral as my eyes had a pop of colour so I opted for my FX lip liner in shade Auburn mixed with a nude lipstick from Body Shop (shade 06) which made a taupe brown colour! 

Enjoy :)

My Eyebrow Routine

Hellooooo beautifuls :) Hope you are all keeping well!! This post is all about the brows, big bold brows in fact, although mine weren't always this big :| I once had the thinnest eyebrows ever, well am sure we've all been there lol! Now that my brows are big, I don't think I would ever go back to having them thin, gosh that was too much effort!!

My eyebrows are actually more or less fully grown so to maintain them is really easy as I have to just do the middle and some stray hairs underneath which I tweeze out myself. As my brows used to be really thin before there are a lot of sparse areas which I don't really think will ever grow back but that's fine because I can just fill them in... I always start off by combing out my eyebrows with a spooley (mascara wand) which usually tames all the hairs and I then know which parts I need to fill in. I used to use a dark brown eye shadow before to fill in my brows, but not anymore since I discovered this amazing product!!!

I have been looking for the perfect eyebrow kit and I must say this is it!! The Brow Satin in shade Dark Brown by Maybelline. I love the dual function on this product as one side is a very soft thin eye pencil and the other side is a nib with eye shadow on. I use the pencil side to define the edges of my brows and then fill them in using the eye shadow side. Once I have filled them in I then brush them out again using a spooley to make sure it is all blended and also to take off any extra product. If I need to then I will also tidy up the edges with a small clean brush or concealer. To finish off my brows I like to sometimes highlight my brow bone with a shimmery cream shadow to give them that extra definition. 

Tip: Remember to not overdo your brows when you're filling them in unless you like that blocky look, lol! Keep them looking natural :)

Enjoy
