What’s in my makeup bag ( summer 2017)

Hi everyone, welcome back

The contents of my makeup bag changes as the season does, so I wanted to share with you what I have been using recently ……

I spend a lot of time away from home, so I always take with me the basic makeup to do my touch-ups during the day

I’m all about the natural makeup look and with the warm weather here I’ve been into items that are easy to apply and effortless to touch up on-the-go.

Lip products are my weakness. I always carry  more than one with me ….

Concealer – Maybelline instant anti age ( Nude)

Powder – NYX HD finishing powder ( Banana)

Brush – Ted backer London (This is the perfect size to have in your makeup bag)

Brows – NYX tinted Brow mascara

Eyeliner – Avon gel eyeliner black

Lip balm – Ted Baker London

Lip liner – NYX lip liner ( SMLL07 Sandstorm)

Lipstick  – lip paint matte ( 209 Nude on fleek ) – my favorite lip product at the moment 

Lipstick – L’Oreal Color Rich ( 214 Violet Saturne )

Perfume – Dolce & Gabana  (This sophisticated and feminine scent is perfect to pop in your makeup bag and can be worn day or night. )

Thanks 😉

Eye makeup tips

Hi everyone , welcome back

  • Start with your brows. Defined eyebrows frame your face and bring attention to your eyes. Fill in your brows with an eye shadow that matches the colour of your brows.

 

  • Use a primer or base to make your eyelid as smooth as possible. That way, your eye shadow will stay in place all day.

 

  • To make eyes look big and bold, the trick is to create depth with your eye shadow. First apply a lighter-colored shadow all over your eyelid. Then, take a darker shadow and apply it in the crease of your eye above your lid. This will create an element of dimension. Don’t forget to blend the lid colour with the crease colour to create a seamless look.

 

  • Blend well; you should never be able to tell where one colour begins and ends.

 

  • Choose the right eye shadow colours- Everything from vanilla to almond, to mid- tones like taupe and terracotta, to deep shades, like coffee and smokey grey. Ultimate your own colouring will determine what works best for you.

 

  • Highlight your eyes in the right place; Use highlighter on any part of the eye area that you want to bring out. Put Put a dot on the inner corner of the eye to make eyes look big and bright….

 

  • Don’t skip Eyeliner; Liner helps define shape and open the eye, but it should be done with a delicate line. Apply a gel, pencil, or liquid liner on your top lash line. If you have light eyes, go with a brown eyeliner, while brown eyes will pop with black liner.  For a smokier look, apply a brown or black eye shadow onto your lower lash line with a small eye shadow brush. Just make sure the top and bottom eyeliner meet at the outer corner of your eye.

 

  • Always include mascara; First curl your lashes. Hold the curl for a few seconds, and then let go. Then, brush two to three coats of mascara from the base to the tip of your top and bottom lashes.
