So i thought i'd do my natural everyday look for you using a range of drug store make up and high end make up. This is basically my normal routine in the morning before i go to work or school so yeah... enjoy!
I start off using washing my face with warm water and a flannel then applying The Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Moisturiser. This is newish i brought this in Debenams not long ago because i needed a new one as my skin was becoming dry. Plus this was on offer at £45 down to £15 to why not? i can honestly say it does everything it says. There is a visible difference, my skin is soft and definitely not dry at all! Only problem is this moisturiser has no SPF. Usually i would be like 'oh hell no' but my primer and foundation have SPF so i'm okay, i won't burn in the sun. Phew!
For my eye cream i use the It's Potent eye cream from Benefit. Its just a simple moisturiser and the one i use is only a sample, but when i run out i'm probably gonna go buy the bigger, normal one.
Okay, next i use the Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm Broad Spectrum SPF 20. I love this product it'll be in every favourite post this year i think. It's a tinted primer which i put on my cheeks and T-section before my foundation or without sometimes if i'm tanned.
My Foundation in another favourite, it's the Lancome Miracle Air De Teint in the shade 005 (SPF 15 if your interested). This is a really light shade for the winter so it's not thick. But when i am pale it covers blemishes well and goes on so nicely, but only downside doesn't give me much colour which is why i still have to use bronzer. This is quite a pricey foundation but for me it works so nicely on my skin in the winter. So if you're a red head or just generally pale then you should check this foundation out!
My concealer is the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat in the shade 2. I just put this under my eyes and around my nose where i get really red blemishes. I know the Collection concealer in the shade 1 is a good double for this if you don't want to spend a lot of a concealer.
The powder i use is MAC Studio Fix in the shade NC35. I brought this on holiday so it's quite dark but recently i've only been using it lightly on my cheeks and nose area to reduce shininess.
To contour i use L'Oreal Glam Bronze. I also brought this on holiday and love it so much. It comes with a small shimmery highlight on the side which i mix with the bronzer to give a shimmery effect
For my eyebrows, i have been using this product since forever. It's part of the Bransus Beauty Products it's just a eyebrow palette which came with stencils to draw on your eyebrows and a angled brush (i do not use the stencils i just fill my eyebrows in which the middle shade which is a lightish brown) . I brought this when i was shopping in London in the Ideal Home Show so i have no clue if you can buy these products in the high street. But you might be able to get good doubles, i know Sleek do a nice eyebrow palette.
For blush i use the Topshop Creme Blush in the shade 'Flush' i think. I just rubbed a little on the apples of my cheeks for a bit of colour.
On a daily basis i use The Soap and Glory SuperCat liquid eyeliner. It is just like a felt tip pen and glides ever so nicely across you eye. I just do a little thin line over my eye then add a small cat like flick.
Now the mascara i use is the Soap and Glory Think&Fast super volume mascara. Now you are probably wondering why i use a different lid. This is because the soap and glory mascara applicator was so bad to use, it was too big for my lashes and nothing went on. So i swapped the lid of a recently run out mascara with the Soap&Glory one so now the applicator is smaller and a little bit longer. Which means only after one application my eye lashes are amazingly long. So Soap&Glory a pointer, your mascara is amazing, your applicator need to be changed!
Excuse the phone in the background, the lip products wouldn't stay upright. Lastly, for my lips i simply moisturise with the EOS vinilla scented lip balm from Urban Outfitters. Then use the No7 High Shine lip gloss in the colour 'Coral Kiss' which a peachy shade. For a natural look it just gives your lips a bit of a shine.Sometimes i also put The MaxFactor lip liner on with it in the shade 'Nudeish' which a really gives a really nice nude shine effect
So, this is what my make up created. Just a real simple natural look for everyday uses.
