The Make-up Post: Saturday Night

 

 

 

 

I'm back! After what seems like forever... recently I've had a bit of a mental block so I stepped away from blogging for a couple of weeks until I got my mojo back. So, I was meant to put this post up yesterday but I was just too hungover & tired to even function so here it is a day late, and i can no longer call it a Sunday post :(

I've been turning to my MUA Undress Me Too Palette a lot lately. Its easy to create a simple look or go all out with a smokey eye. The metallic gold's are my favourite as you can probably tell by the state of them; I usually just use my index finger to apply the shadow as I find using a brush causes quite a bit of fallout. The Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation is one of my favourites; its got such a creamy texture, doesn't leave a shine & has SPF 18 - winner! I usually dab it around my face with my fingers and then use my Real Techniques Buffing Brush to really blend it in.

As for mascara & eyeliner I use Benefit's They're Real on my bottom lashes and Rimmel London's Scandaleyes Lycra Flex mascara on my top lashes because it creates just the right amount of curl & volume. After I apply eyeshadow I add a slick of the L'Oreal Paris SuperLiner Blackbuster just to add some definition. I apply some just along my lower lash then as well then in my waterline I use the Maybelline eye liner pencil in white to make my eyes appear wider (can't find link sorry)!

I purchased the Look Beauty's Cheeky Trio in 'Candy Floss' - I don't rarely use the bronzer much but the blush is the perfect colour for my cheeks and I tend to just use the highlight under my eyebrows. To keep my make up in place I use a big powder brush to just apply Rimmel London's Stay Matte Powder in 'Peach Glow' over my forehead, cheeks, chin & nose.  

Lastly, the eyebrows! I'm 99% sure this little brow palette is MUA but it seems to be different on the website? So if you happen to know what make this is please let me know haha! I think it could possibly be a branded product they did, who knows?! Anyways I use the darkest shade of brown in the palette and just sweep gently across my brows to fill in any gaps and make them more defined; I do this with a MUA eyeliner angled brush and I find it works better than the little brush that is provided. The palette also comes with a cute little pair of tweezers which I have found quite handy.
