Okay first of all before I even get onto the topic of this post I wanted to point out that my eyebrows are not ginger. I don't know what happened from my face to the computer screen but no matter what I did they wouldn't stop being ginger and I didn't want to over edit the photo. Now we've established that we can move onto the rest of my face! Something that I wasn't really able to do during the last week or so while I was busy getting all my uni work up to date and handed in was my make up. I piled on a heap of concealer to attempt to cover my huge A1 sized dark circles and a little mascara and on I went. Normally however I wear pretty much the same thing everyday, besides lip colour, if I'm not doing anything special.
I never wear foundation, if I want extra coverage I use a BB cream but I rarely use that, I'm pretty lucky with my skin and feel comfortable without it. I do however have a love for concealer, seriously if I could only wear one product it would be concealer (and mascara cough), just because I always have awful dark circles. My favourite is the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer and I've currently been trying out the Essence Match 2 Cover cream concealer which I've found is perfect for the odd spot or two. On top of that I use the E.L.F pressed powder which is so much better for my dryer areas than the L.A Girl powder I used before but still not perfect if you have any suggestions. If you haven't already noticed I'm not a huge spender when it comes to make up, I find I'm not talented enough to splurge and I manage fine covering/accentuating what I want with cheaper products. I do however have the Real Techniques powder brush and expert face brush to apply this all with.
Then the eye area woo! After slightly filling my brows with a (not ginger) eyeshadow from a Maybelline Palette not featured here oops I shove some brown eyeshadow on my lids with a brush also not featured, very technical! Liquid eyeliner is a very new thing for me, when I say new I mean I tried it every so often and failed and threw it across the room in rage. Then I got this W7 Automatic Eye Liner Pen a few months ago and haven't looked back, I've pretty much used it every day since (if I have time unlike uni stress times mentioned above) — I normally only tight line my upper lid. Finish it off with a bit of mascara, my fav is Maybelline The Falsies mascara but currently using the Falsies Big Eye version and while not bad I still prefer the falsies which shall be bought when this one needs replacing.
End it with a babein' lip colour, currently loving Topshop Beguiled & Jordana Taupe, and you're ready to strut into uni looking hot (or at least not as tired as you were looking half an hour ago)! I think I'm going to stick to regular lifestyle posts now, I feel I'm not good enough at makeup to post this stuff
