For college, I like to keep quite a natural look and now that I have nicer make up products I think it's time to re-do an everyday make up routine!!
I have: Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow foundation in the shade "cheers to me" champagne, Simple Every Day Light Moisturiser, Maybelline The Colossal Volum' Express for Smokey Eyes mascara, Kleenex Shine Absorbing Sheets, Estèe Lauder eyeshadow duo with shades 'Sand Dollar' and 'Chestnut', Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder in shade 2, Mac Mineralise blush in 'Gentle', Estèe Lauder double ended eyeliner and lip liner, 17 Kabuki brush, Estèe Lauder lip brush and Real Techniques buffing and contour brush. The bag was just a cheap one from Home Bargains.
Firstly, I moisturise my face so that my make up doesn't give me massive spots or leave my skin dry. Then, with one pump of foundation on my hand, I dab it onto each area of my face and blend with the Real Techniques buffing brush.
After that, I use my Real Techniques contour brush along with my Body Shop bronzer to contour under my cheek bones and jaw and then to generally bronze my face in the areas where the sun hits. Then with Mac Gentle and the 17 Kabuki brush, I brush the blush lightly from the apples of my cheeks outwards to give a rosy glow.
Now that I've finished with the skin, it's time for eyes and eyebrows!! Firstly, I use the brown shade in the Estèe Lauder duo called Chestnut along with the Estèe Lauder lip brush (I am aware that lip brushes are meant for lips but it's the brush that works best for my eyebrows). I take a light amount and just fill in the gaps of my eyebrows and just make them a better shape. After that, I take my eye liner pencil and draw a line on my lid to create the appearance of a thicker lash line and then line my tight line and water line. Finally, I apply a few coats of mascara to thicken and lengthen my lashes.
Finally, I pat my face with one of these wipes to take away any excess oil from my face.
This is the final result of my make up, hope you all enjoy! :-)
