I badly need to clean my brushes so excuse the dirty brushes! |

Benefit Porefessional
Mac Studio Fix Fluid Foundation NW13
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer Fair
Bare minerals Stroke of Light
Mac Studio Fix Powder NW13
Smash box Shape Matters Palette
Rommel Pink Rose Blush

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomrade Blonde
Benefit Gimme Brow
Benefit High beam
Mac Fluidline Blacktrack

I began by using the Simple moisturiser to prep my skin as I have fairly dry skin. The Simple moisturiser is quite light on the skin. I then used the Benefit 'porefessional' as a primer, I love this primer however find it quite oily and I cannot stand the texture, I don't know if anyone else agree's? It's just so strange! I then used the Mac foundation, with a Real Technique expert face brush. Following my foundation I concealed beneath my eyes with the Collection concealer, this is such a brilliant concealer and conceals dark circles and blemishes. I then secured all of this with the Mac powder, some use this as a foundation but I don't find it too heavy when applied with the Real Technique powder brush. After this, I contoured using the Smashbox palette, put Mac highlighter on my cheekbones and Rimmel blush on the apples of my cheeks.
Moving on to brows and eyes... I used the Anastasia Dipbrow Pomrade, I love this product so much! I've tried many brow products but can't seem to get on with powders. I set them with the Benefit speed brow and highlighted my brow bone with the Benefit high beam.
Moving on to eyes... I used shadows from the Smashbox palette, and used the Mac fluidline to create a cat eye effect. Following all of this I put some Eyelure lashes on! I love these as they aren't too long but just long enough to finish of the look.
And lips... I used Mac 'New York Apple' on my lip, it is a redish shade, but not overpowering red and a lovely sheen.
The finished look was this...
Lovely post, and you look beautiful! I know what you mean with the benefit primer! I much prefer the nars one :) I've never tried smashbox before but have been after a palette for contouring. Would you recommend theirs? Xx
ReplyDeleteThankyou! I'm pleased someone agrees with me on the primer as a lot of people rave about it but it is so strange! I haven't tried the nars primer but will look into it. I really like their palette and find that it doesn't look muddy especially on fair skin like some other powder contouring products can, I am going to try a cream based contouring product though too!
