This is my general going out face...not popping out, not out out...just out! (You know the skit!)
I thought I would give you a brief overview of the products I generally use for going out just to the pub or for dinner, along those lines.
This is my no makeup, glorious face.
After primer this is what I smother my face in. First a bit of Boi-ing concealer by Benefit to cover any sneaky spots or dark circles. I'm not really keen on liquid foundation, I prefer something lighter, so I use this powder mineral foundation from Avon with a Ruby and Millie kabuki brush. As it's summer I add a bit bronzer just under my cheek bones and some highlighter.
Based. I'm sure I'm not actually this orange...
Next on to eyes. I use a pencil liner on my top lash line and on the outer corners of my lower lashes aswell as inside the waterline. I also use a liquid liner over the top, I find it easier over pencil as I don't have a very steady hand, and although it looks less dramatic it is less messy! I use an eyelash primer to thicken and lengthen my lashes before mascara and fill in my brows with a bit of pencil. For lips, I generally have something in my bag for a touch of moisture and colour throughout the evening such as Barry M Cor Balmy.
There, Ta-da, done! Now hair, get changed and ready to go out...but not out out!
Oh God, I'm such a massive fan of Benefit's High Beam, I use it on my cheekbones and down the bridge of my nose too as apparently it does great things but I forget what.. that doesn't stop me from doing it though! ;) You have a nice style of writing by the way; funny but informative!

Thank you! Highbeam is such a good highlighter, I often put it in my cupids bow as it makes your lips look fuller!

Thanks! Yeah, it's so great and lasts forever!
Deleteusing pencil then liquid liner is actually a really good idea, I've never thought of that before! I'll definitely have to try it and see if I can even out my shaky lines hahaha!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it works really well? I blend it with an eyeliner brush so it's not as strong and the liquid shows up better
