I thought I would do a daily makeup blog because some of my friends have been asking for it and I figured why not! If you want to know about any of the products I use then please leave a comment in the comments section, or alternatively leave it on my Ask.fm page which can be found in a previous blog.
1. I begin everyday with washing my face and using my Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub. The unclogging scrub works with little blue beads scrubbing against your skin and washing away all of the dead skin.
2. I then moisturise my whole face and half way down my neck with basically any SPF15 oil free moisturiser. Using moisturiser in summer is really helpful because my skin is so pale that without the sunscreen in the moisturiser I would probably get burnt.
Now for the makeup! :)
3. I begin with aplying my MAC Matchmaster SPF15 foundation. I don't totally love this foundation, but because I bought a $60 foundation I am determined to use it all up! (See March and April favourites blog for more details on the MAC Matchmaster SPF15 foundation.
4. I then apply my concealer to all of the redness on my face focusing on any pimply areas.
Step 5 and 6 is basically skipping through anything else you might do when you do your makeup. This is only because I don't tend to have much time in the morning and I want to make everything as simple as possible for myself.
5. I then put my pressed powder on to set all of my foundation and concealer. (and to help contain those pesky oils!)
6. Lastly I fill in my eyebrows. The only reason I do this is because I was born into a family that doesn't have very thick eyebrows and in order for my face to look like eyebrows exist on it I find that I HAVE to put a little bit of brown on them everyday.
From here I would normally say that I was done, but if I was going out or participating in something special that day I would do steps 7-10
7. For when I want to put eyeshadow on I start off with putting down my eyeshadow primer. My eyelids are so oily it is really important for me to prime my lids to stop my eyeshadow and eyeliner smudging.
8. I would then apply my desired eyeshadow with the darkest colour on the outer side of my lid, the middle shade on the middle of my lid and the lightest shade on the inner corner of my lid.
9. If I feel like wearing eyeliner that day I would use a liquid eyeliner (as I find it stays and doesn't smudge for longer than a crayon or pencil liner). But, the way I apply it is by starting about a quarter way in my eyeline and working my way (using tiny strokes) to the end of my line, from there I slightly wing out the line. I repeat the same process on the other side.
10. Lastly mascara! As I use a relatively natural mascara (I have really sensitive eyelashes) I apply one coat to my upper lashes, wait for it to dry and then apply another coat. I then put one coat on my bottom lashes and then I am done.
