My Favourite Recent Makeup:

Oops long time no speak! A lot has happened in the past month with going on holiday and getting a job so i hadn't really had any time to blog anything unfortunately, but i am back!! It was my 19th birthday last weekend which was fabulous (even though i was working) and was lucky enough to get a Macbook Pro from my lovely boyfriend Elliott, although i am paying him back about £700 of it with wages etc.

Anyway recently i've been doing my makeup slightly differently, with more simple eye makeup and darker lips and i've been absolutely loving it!

I use the Bourjois healthy mix foundation & concealer to cover redness and imperfections and powder over with Rimmel Stay Matte as usual. Then i contour my cheeks with a bit of Sleek contour kit in shade medium and add a bit of colour with a Bourjois cream blush to the cheeks with a stippling brush. I then move onto the eyes and apply MAC's Cork all over the lid with the RT brush, and then blend in Tempting by MAC with the 217 brush in the outer corner of the eye and work it into the crease as well, and finally to add a bit more i finish off with Brun by MAC blended into the crease and lower lash line to make it a bit more 'smokey'. Next i apply a black Chanel kohl eyeliner in my top waterline (not the bottom as it makes my eyes look smaller) and also smudge it into the top lash line as well to create a bit of definition. Then top it off with a bit of mascara! (Maybelline Falsies)
For the lips i used Plumful by MAC which is a beautiful, well, plum shade, that looks great on just about anyone (so i've heard) and it's a great all year round kinda colour, it just about suits the summer but i think it's going to look even better in the Autumn and Winter!
