My Everyday Makeup

Hello readers, welcome to my blog! As this is my first blog post I thought I’d do a ‘getting to know me’ but still beauty related post, so here it is, my simple every day makeup.

Foundation.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation 'Beige' £9.99

My everyday foundation is the Bourjois healthy mix foundation, now I know Bourjois foundations have very mixed review but personally I love this foundation. It promises a healthy glow with a flawless complexion, and I can honestly say it provides exactly that (and a lovely, fruity smell).

I pump the foundation out onto the back of my hand and apply with the Topshop foundation brush. It’s easily spread, not too thick not too thin, and one pump is just enough to perfectly cover the whole of my face.

The coverage is medium-full as it covers all my blemishes and redness of my skin but isn't too thick so it can still give you a natural, fresh look.

Mascara

L'OREAL Miss Manga Mascara £8.99

Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascara £6.99

I have a very unhealthy love for mascara, I can’t leave the house without it on and I like to apply multiple layers of it onto my top lashes.

First I begin with the L’OREAL mega volume Miss Manga mascara, this mascara adds length and volume my lashes and is perfect to get into the inner corners of the eye as the applicator brush is shaped perfectly to get right into the corners.

Then, as my lashes just can’t have enough volume I apply the Rimmel Scandaleyes mascara on top, the applicator brush of this mascara is HUGE so if you like natural looking lashes this is not the mascara for you.

Lips

Models Own Lip Balm 'Red Hot' £4.00

My natural lip colour is extremely dull so I like to add a subtle pop of colour to brighten it up. For this is use the Models Own Lip Balm in the colour ‘Red Hot’, this lip balm if applied liberally will look like a bright, red lipstick, however that’s not the look I want for everyday so, I lightly dab my finger into the lip balm a dot in onto my lips to give a natural-looking red tint.

Cheeks

Bourjois Illuminating Touch Powder £5.99

To finish of my look I like to add a brush of the Bourjois Illuminating power onto my cheekbones to give a healthy looking glow to my face. This powder is extremely subtle and when added to your face gives no colour just a small shimmer.

I hope you liked my first post!
