MOTD: Lilac and Pink.

Today I have a makeup of the day post for you all, enjoy!

To begin, I applied moisturiser, foundation and concealer. I also filled in my eyebrows with a mid brown shadow and brushed them through a little bit.

On the eyes I wore this pretty lilac and dark brown eyeshadow look. I used Sleek's Snapshots palette to create this look by applying the lilac onto the inner two thirds of my eyelid and then I took a copper brown colour and applied that into my outer third and into the crease a little bit. I also took the copper colour and lined my water line with it and took a shimmery white shadow to highlight my inner corner and brown bone. I applied my favourite mascara and the look is complete!

Onto the cheeks and contouring, I contoured using my MUA bronzer and then used my 28 colour blush palette from eBay and used a light baby pink shade on the apples of my cheeks. I also highlighted using my Sleek Face Form palette, applying it to my cheek bones and along the length of my nose.

Onto the lips, I applied some lip balm and then dabbed and blended in a little bit of the matte pink shadow from my Snapshots palette. I took a little bit of my Rimmel Vinyl Gloss lip gloss and applied that on top of the lips for a more shimmery look.

To finish the look, I applied a little bit of powder and that was it!

I hope you like this look and if you give it a go yourself, tell me how it went!

My Daily Makeup Routine!

In this post I thought i'd share with you my every day makeup routine; what products I use, how I use them and all that good stuff. My every day makeup is a spin on a classic natural pin up kind of look and it's my go to when I am in a rush to get ready!

So, to begin: I always moisturise my face to prime it and I then apply my foundation. The foundation I am currently using is Rimmels Wake Me Up foundation. I apply it with my Real Techniques buffing brush. Sometimes, I like to stipple my foundation on and then buff it in!

Once I have applied my foundation, I move onto concealer. I use my Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer. I just apply this using my index finger under my eyes and a little bit on the lids to get rid of discolouration and I also apply anywhere where there still remains a little bit of redness not covered by my foundation.

I then set my foundation and my concealer with powder. I use my Rimmel Stay Matte powder and I pat it onto my face lightly using my Real Techniques buffing brush.

Once my face is done, I move onto my eyebrows! I like to use powder on my eyebrows to fill them in. I use a Revlon brow powder duo which has a mid brown and a dark brown powder in it. I use a Real Techniques slanted eyebrow brush to fill my eyebrows in with short, feathered strokes.

Moving onto eyeshadow, I like to keep in quite natural. I firstly highlight my brow bone using a shimmery white shadow. Then apply a light beige shadow all over the lid and a mid brown on the outer corner and into the crease. I blend this out and up towards the brow bone a little bit. I then apply a darker brown shadow onto the outer crease, blending it out and keeping it on the lid and working it into the crease.

After applying my eyeshadow, most days I will wear a cat eye. To create my cat eye, I like to use a liquid liner and the one I am using at the moment is Collection 2000's Fast Stroke. I also line my waterliner with a black kohl liner.

To finish the eyes, I curl them and then I apply my favorite mascara which at the moment is L'Oreal's Telescopic Mascara in black.

Moving back onto the face, if I am in a hurry I will use my Face Form palette from Sleek which has blush, highlight and contour powder in it. I apply the blush on the apples of my cheeks and outwards a little bit using a fluffy powder brush that i got from Boots. To contour, I suck in my cheeks and apply the contour powder onto the hollows of my cheeks with my Real Techniques contour brush. Using the same brush I higlight with the highlight colour, applying it along my cheekbones and along the length of my nose.

Finally, I base my lips with lip balm and then apply a lipstick of my choice. Usually I go for my Soap and Glory Cheekmate lipstain or a coral/pink shade from MUA.

And that's my every day look complete! Thanks for reading and I hope you liked this post. Leave a comment or suggestion below, I love to hear from you!
