Make Up for Today

Me and Danny decided we would go out for dinner tonight so I thought while I am making myself look 'beautiful' (LOL) I would take some pictures of what I used to create this look. Its just a light smokey eye with a small flick eyeliner and pale lips. I will list all the items below with a rough price & description.

So Starting with the skin!

1. NYC Sun to Sun Bronzer Bonze - £3 - I used the lighter side. I have very pale skin and the darker side is just way to dark for my skin tone. This is a really great bronzer for £3 and I think it lasts pretty much all day. I just use this along my cheek bones. I'm not a massive fan of blusher so I use this instead.
2.Rimmel Stay Matte powder foundation in 001 Transparent - Around £4/5 - I just started using this powder and I love it. I think the coverage is very nice. I don't like to look very powdery but also I don't like the very wet & shiny look that some liquid foundations give, so this is a nice light coverage.
3. NYC all day long foundation in 737 classic ivory - £4- I love this foundation! It has such good coverage for a foundation that is only £4! I would highly recommend this to anyone. I have a lot of blemishes on my face and I think this foundation is just perfect!
4. MUA BB all in one - £4/5 - This is a great primer, concealer and foundation all together! I use this under my eyes and over my blemishes and it really takes all the redness and darkness away! As you can see I have nearly finished this one and I will defiantly be purchasing another one! I sometime will just use this if I am in a hurry to get out. I love this product!

Now onto the eye shadows I used.

This is a pallet that I got from eBay about 5/6 months ago from China. It's a great all round neutral pallet. I think I got it for around £8! The colour pay off is also very good and they do last for a long time!
Starting from top to bottom I used a light colour for all over my lids up to my brow bone, then I used a very matte, very light brown colour just on my lids. Finally, I used the dark brown just on the corner of my lids and my under my brow bone using windshield wiper motions.

 

Now moving onto Eyes, Eyebrows & Lips.

1. NYC Big & Bold Mascara in Black - £3/4 - I love this mascara. It does exactly what you want it too. Makes my lashes look very full & very long! I usually find myself buying all different kinds of mascaras but this is the first one where I have bought it multiple times!



2. Collection 2000 fast stroke liquid eyeliner in Black - £2/3 - I have been using the liquid eyeliner for as long as I have been doing makeup. I find this one of the best liquid eyeliners and I find it very easy to apply. I hadn't been using liquid eyeliners for a while as for Christmas I got a MAC gel liner and was in love with it but I have got back in the liquid eyeliner and I must say I love it!
3.MAC Fluidline in Blacktacks - £14 - I use this to darken my tightline so I can get that extra black look and it makes your eye look that little bit more bolder! I don't often use pencil eyeliners on my eyes as I feel that they don't stay on my eyes for long and I end up with most of it under my eyes looking like a panda. I prefer gel eyeliners or liquid eyeliners. I love this gel liner, I have had it since Christmas and it hasn't dried up. I had a Maybelline gel liner and after a month I found it wasn't as creamy as it once was! So this time MAC, you win!
4. MAC Cremesheen lipstick in Crème Cup - £14 - I love this lipstick! I wear it quite a lot. I had been looking for the perfect lipstick for a long time and I gave in and bought this one at MAC and I must say I totally love it! I use it on a daily basis! The smell of MAC lipstick is incredible!
5. No7 Amazing Eyes Pencil in 10 Brown - FREE! - Now, I do not use this as an eyeliner, I use this for my eyebrows. It has such a lovely texture & colour and for a freebee, why not! My mum had spent so much in No7 & she got a free gift and these eyeliner and always in them! I think I currently have 4 of them! They are the prefect travel size and its a lovely colour payoff! I don't really need to do a lot to my eyebrows. I mainly just fill in the end of my brows as there are a lot lighter than the rest.

So, this is everything I used with just a short description of each product. I hope you liked it and think of maybe doing this look yourself! Let me know if you like this kind of blog and maybe I'll do some more!

Loves Lollyyyy!!
