My daily foundation routine

I have just done a quick video to show you what I do every morning when I get ready for my day ahead. I used Mac's select cover up to even the skin tone around my nose and mouth. I applied this with my Mac 190 foundation brush. I then used boi-ing industrial strength concealer in 02 to my under eye area with my ring finger. I set the lot off with Mac mineralized skin finish swirled and buffed on using a Mac kabuki 182 brush. It's a simple routine that is quite natural and long lasting. I hope you enjoy!

I also bought a 15 pot pallette and mulch, knight devine and brulee to go in it. I got select cover up concealer in NW20 and Msf natural in light natural.

Bronzed babe look

This look I have created is from the Balm palette 'Shady lady'. It is quick,simple and inexpensive. I used Mac studio sculpt foundation and concealer to prepare my face. I used urban decay primer potion to prime my eye lids for the shadow. I used a Mac 275 brush to apply the three colours - Lucious lani (a shimmery champagne colour) which I put over my whole eye lid up to the brow bone and then shameless shana (a matt medium brown) from the outer edge of the crease up to my brow bone and half way along my lid and then Caught in the act courtney (a dark glittery brown) in the outer 'v' to define the eye shape. This is very flattering and must be blended with the other colours to look good. I then used a mac 266 eyeliner brush dampened and dipped into Caught in the act courtney. I then lined the outer thrd of my upper and lower lash line. I then smudged this line to ensure it was not too harsh.I then applied two coats of Rimmels sexy curves mascara in black. The one I used was waterproof. I then put warmth on my cheeks with Mac mineralized skinfinish in Cheeky bronze. I used the Mac kabuki to apply this in a 3 shape from the forehead to the cheekbnone then to the chin. This slims down the face too. I then applied Mac lipglass in viva glam 5. A pretty wearbale brown look. Hope you enjoy!

Lucious greens look

This is my latest look. I have used Lauren Luke's luscious green palette. I just love this palette-the colours are gorgeous and have a fantastic pay-off. They are about £24 and have everything to make your look-primer,eyeliner,blush,two lip colours and three fab eye shadows- a lid colour, medium and a dark green crease colour. I used Macs studio sculpt foundation in nw20 and benefits boi-ing concealer on my blemishes. I primed my eye with Urban decay primer potion to give the eye shadows a lot more staying power. I put the light lid colour golden morning all over my lid with a round flat eyeshadow brush. I then used the medium colour,golden fern , sweeping it across my brow bone. I then used macs pencil brush to drag the crease colour ever green along the socket line. This was lightly blended together. I used a white powder under the brow to highlight and I coated my lashes with Sleek waterproof mascara. I then used Barbara Daley's make up range for tescos eyeliner in Kingfisher on the waterline. I then used my benefit Hoola bronzer under my cheek bone to contour then I used the palettes blush 'Sun kissed' just on the apples of my cheeks. I then finished with petal dew on my lips. Overall this palette is great quality and value. I will be checking out Laurens other palettes. Keep checking back for more looks!

My first post! Todays beauty buy's!

Hey guys!

This is my first post. I have just got back from the local town were I went into Superdrug. I had seen on pixiwoo's you tube channel that Samantha Chapman had raved about a Sleek make up pallette in 'Storm' so I thought I would check it out for you guys. There are twelve mineral eyeshadows in this palette for £4.49. I could not belive the price! I swatched the tester in the shop and the colours were really pimented and looked awesome. The colours in the pallette include shades of beige,brown, golds,greens and blues. The packagin in super cute too. It has a 'sleek' black case and a large mirror inside the case. What I love about these shadows is that theycan be layered up to create drama. If you want a cute neutral wash of colour for the day you can just sweep the colours over your eye but for something a little more dramatic you can pack the colour on. The deep gold colour (top left) and the navy blue (bottom third from right) are perfect for the crease.

I also picked up Sleeks ink pot in Denim. Another bargain at £4.00! This is a medium blue colour which is stunning! It's in a glass pot like MACS fluidline. I have not tried it yet but I will let you know what I think. You guys will see that I am a sucker for packaging-this comes with a cute little liner brush! Not sure if I would apply it with that-I will probably stick to my Benefit angled brush but it's nice for a handbag spare

Hope you've enjoyed reading it x
