My Everyday Makeup Look || Winging It



An 'everyday make-up' post, your beauty bloggers bread and butter, and here I am joining the tea party. 




Face

Now to start off I use the No7 Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Day Cream this is a new product that I got from the No7 Christmas Advent Calendar and I will for sure be purchasing the full version, because it's been one of my favourite discoveries of 2015. The simplicity of the formula is utterly perfect for my skin. It hasn't got too much fragrance to it so it is good for sensitive skin and it sinks into the skin perfectly. Next I go in with my No7 Instant Illusions Airbrush Away Primer which is another little goody that I got in the advent calendar, and really just sets a nice smooth base to my makeup. I place it on and around my T Zone and on my cheeks so that I don't have the powder my concealer leaving that glowing look yet still be reassured that it will stay up in place all day. My favourite part  of doing my makeup and what seems to make the most difference to my face is corrector and concealer. I have a teeny little complex with my  dark under eye circles,  I feel like  I could sleep for a thousand years and  they would still be there but, hey ho this is what I use to combat these bad boys, Bobbi Brown Tinted Eye Brightener in Bisque 4 does a good job of neutralising the dark tones around my eye and then on top of that I put my NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Ginger which is the perfect colour for my skin tone, sometimes I go for a  lighter colour to slightly contour my face but on an everyday basis I like to go for a colour that is going to give me an even base. Then I will take my beautiful Kevin Aucoin The Cream Duo #4 and use the really lovely highlighter on the tops of my cheeks working my way the cheekbone.

Eyes

After that, I tackle my brows using  Soap And Glory Archery Pencil, which is a staple in my routine due to it being so easy to use. I brush the crayon side through my brows to fill them out a bit and then use the pen side to define my arch a little bit more the top them of with the Maybelline Brow Drama to set it all in place. I then take a little bit of Faint eyeshadow from the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette and use this as an eyeliner by pressing it into the lash line then using a blending brush to soften it out giving you a smokey pop of colour to the eyes. A couple of coats of the Maybelline Sensational Lash Mascara and the eyes are good to go!

Lips

Finally I put on the yummy tasting Clarins Instant Light Lip Perfector in O1, it's balmy, it's smooth, it's glossy and quite frankly I couldn't ask for anything better I L-O-V-E this product, it is a pleasure to use and on an everyday basis I can't see myself needing anything other than this.





So yeah that is my everyday make-up, on a day-to-day basis I'm at school so I tend to slap on some concealer and after a wave of the mascara wand I have to be out the door, but on the weekends or if I'm feeling like putting in a bit more effort and have a little bit more fun with my makeup then this is my go to gal.



What's your staple everyday go to gal?
