what's on my face




I don't always do these posts, but I really liked my make up this day, so I thought I'd show it off with a few of my new buys.

For my base, I used the Clarins Beauty Flash Balm which isn't pictured here. I don't think it's amazing, but I'm really running out of primer. I followed this with my sample of the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. I like this foundation, it creates a lovely, medium coverage base that doesn't cling to any dry patches. It's a perfect match for my skin. I contoured with my Avon Arabian Glow bronzer (discontinued, similar product here) and put a slight bit of MUA Shade 3 blush on the apples of my cheeks. I used a bit of my Illamasqua Illuminator in Slay on my cheek bones for an added highlight, my review of this is here. I don't usually use concealer, but this time I used a bit of Collection's Lasting Perfection concealer on the end of my nose where I get shinier quicker and I put a tiny bit just on my cheeks where I felt I needed more coverage. I set it with a really light dusting of the MUA Powder.

I kept my eye make up really simple and missed out on the eyeshadow. I recently purchased Loreal's Volume Million Lashes and I'm really liking it! I wouldn't say it gave a massive amount of volume, but it separates my lashes and creates a lovely length.

Lastly, I finished up with my Apocalips in Celestial, review here. I love the colour of this but wanted to dull it down a bit and get rid of the shine, so I blotted it and then just worked it in a little with my finger - I love the effect because you still have the colour but it looks very natural.

So there you are! Would you guys like to see any more of these posts? Just comment below.
