Face of the day:

Hello everybody, I am sorry I haven't posted in a while but I have been busy with school work. This blog post is a collaboration with the lovely: pretty_perfectxoxo, I will leave a link to her blog here:  evhttp://prettyperfectxoxo.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1. A lot of you have requested to see my evening going out make up routine, so I have decided to write a blog post on how to create this look:

First I used the Benefit's 'porefessional' which helps reduce the look of pores, which makes your base make up look much smoother. I then decided to use a mixture of my Nars Sheer Glow and Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation. This is because I wanted a full coverage combination, which would last all evening. I wouldn't use the Estée Lauder foundation on an everyday basis as it has a very thick consistency, however if you suffer with acne and you want to cover your blemishes, then this may be a good foundation for you. 

I then placed the Collection 'lasting perfection' concealer under my eyes to reduce the appearance of dark circles. This also helps to brighten your eye area. After I had applied my concealer, I used the Rimmel 'stay matte powder' all over my face. This helps to set the make up, which helps it last longer. 

To fill in my eyebrows I used the Benefit 'Browzings' in the shade light. To apply the wax and powder I used the Mac 266 angled brush. This allows me to create a good, precise shape when filling in my brows. 

On my cheeks I used the 'Mary-Lou-Manizer' which created a healthy shimmer across the tops of my cheek bones. For blusher, I used the Benefit blush in 'Hervana' this is a pink toned blusher which doesn't have a lot of shimmer. It creates a beautiful flush of colour onto the apples of your cheeks. For contour I used a mixture of the Nars 'Languna' bronzer and the Benefit 'Hoola'. By using my bold metals '301' contour brush, I was able to create a natural looking contour which enhanced my natural bone structure.

On my eyes I used the Too Faced 'natural eyes palette'. This is a gorgeous palette filled with neutral shades, which you could wear for any occassion. I used the shades: silk teddy, sexspresso and erotica. I used the lightest shade (which is silk teddy) on the first part of my eye lid and then used sexspresso, which is a matte dark brown, in the crease to add definition. I then use a tiny bit of erotica on the outer half of my eye lid to add depth. I used my favourite eyeliner which is the Collection 'fast stroke' eyeliner in the shade black. I created a thin line near the lash line and then winged it out to create a cat-eye effect. For mascara, I used my Chanel 'sublime de chanel' mascara which lengthens my lashes.

Lastly, I used M.A.C's 'soar' lip liner which is a gorgeous pinky/brown shade. I often use this lip liner as it lasts for an extremely long time.

Thank you so much for reading this blog post, I hope you enjoyed it!
