Hi lovelies! So the other day my friend came round and I put some effort into both my makeup and choker (yes, I DIY'd it!). I loved both so much that I thought I would whip up a couple of blog posts on how I achieved both, starting off today with the makeup look.
Starting off to prime my eyes I used my La Roche Posay primer and then I went in with the colour Earth from my Flawless Matte Palette and applied this as a transition shade to my crease and then took the colour Take a Chance from my 'What are you waiting for' palette and applied this all over the lid and then blended both equally.






To give some shape to my brows I used my Brow Parlour and I just used both powder shades in order to achieve my brow shape and then set them in place with


As I am having a lot of trouble with my skin at the moment I completely skipped the primer and went in with my BB cream. Today I used the Collection one as it has SPF 16 in it and I need to treat my skin in the sun.


To cover the discoloration under my eyes I used the W7 Catwalk concealor, this has amazing coverage and staying power and I think the value for money is so good.



To set everything in place I used my Astor translucent powder. A little trick here, if you want loose translucent powder (for a baking effect, similar to the Laura Mercier one everyone is hyping about) but you are on a budget, I suggest you to use the bottom of your brush to scrape away a little bit of powder and the apply it, it works amazing for me!

For my bronzer I used my new IDC  bronzer and my trusty old Beter one just to add a little colour to my face and forehead.





Lastly for mascara I used my W7 Lashtastic on my top lashes and Essence All eyes on me for the bottom ones.





And voila! That is how I created my masterpiece, a DIY Choker will be coming soon *winks awkwardly*.

          So the other day I went a bit of an experiment with my makeup over on my YouTube Channel trying to achieve a more summery, bright makeup look, and I think I love what I came up with, click here to go and check it out.

         Here is a list of the products I used:


         Onto my hair; this is just my natural blow dried hair, I am lucky enough not to have to do much to make it look okay.

Last month I took some photos for my Instagram theme (as you do) with a pink based makeup look that lots of you really enjoyed and I received a lot of questions about the products I used so here they all are.


I started by applying the Rimmel Match Perfecting Foundation (200 soft beige) which is a medium to low coverage foundation but is very buildable and I blended this using my UD fluffy blending brush.

Then I took my essence Stay Natural Concealer and applied this to any blemishes on my skin and in triangle shapes under my eyes and blended this out with my beauty blender.


For my terrible messy brows all I used was the Loreal Brow Artist Plumper.



Moving on to the most important part, for my eyes I took the Makeup Revolution London's 'What You Waiting for?" Pallete using the colour Take A Chance (*) on the lid and Sex Chorosome (*) blended throughout the crease and outer corner before doing a simple cat wing with my basic Deliplus liquid eyeliner.

Finally on my eyes, I added a couple of coats of essence 'All eyes on me" mascara and vuala!!


To give a little structre to my face and definition to my cheekbones I used my Beter bronzing powder in the colour Terracotta.


And to finish off the look I took the essence True Nude lipstick in the colour 05 and that is the look done.
