Make Up of the Day - What I'm Wearing Today

 First off I moisturised my face and applied my primer. I used the Superdrug Intense Moisture Cream for my face because the change in weather has really dried my skin out and it need as much moisture as I can get. The Primer I used was from the new MUA Profesional primer. It's decent for £4 and the size isnt to bad either. I like it and the price definatly helps matters.  I think the moisturiser was like £1.29 but it's on sale at the moment so it's normally more expensive.

 Next I applied some concelor to my blemishes. I have some major breakdowns around my mouth and chin at the moment so I applied the concelor before and after my foundation. I did this just to make sure they were covered. This isn't the best concelor but I do prefer ones that come in a liquid form. I only used this because it was the only one I had to hand. The stick formualtion makes it thick and hard to blend but it does have quite good coverage. I used one by Maybelline Cover Stick in the shade ivory. It's a little light for me but I really like the pale look compared to a tan look. I think this cost £4.99 but don't quote me on that.

I used this stick for spots and blemishes and I created an undereye concelor with and ELF All Over Cover Stick and MeMeMe's Beat the Blues highlighter. MeMeMe's range are great dupes for benefit cosmetics... the whole range is kinda a copy of the benefit range but much cheaper. I think it's avalible in both Superdrug and in Argos (that's weird I know but it can be found in the argos catalogue).

I applied the highlighter under my eye first and then added some of the ELF stick over the top. I used my finger to get the colour from the ELF stick and dabbed in under my eye. It covered the darkness there and made my eyes look brighter. I used the hight lighter because my normal undereye concelor containers and illuminator in it to brighten the eyes as well as get rid of the dark circles.The MeMeMe highlighter was £2.00 i think. I brought it as a damaged product because the lid was broken and the seal had been broken. It was perfectly new and I didn't wanna pay full price to try it out so I grabbed it while I could. It was a good deal and I swear it's impossible stuff to run out of. The Elf Stick was £1.50 but I got it when there was a 50% sale so it was 75p. Great deal. ELF always have coupon codes going so if you order from them search out a code.

Next up I applied my foundation. I used a Primark foundation brush from Primark (it's not to bad actually) and I used 2True Matte Foundation in Shade 1.  Both of these items are cheap. The brush (which is dual ended - one end is a concelor brush) was £1.50 and the foudation was £1.99 (cheaper in face because I work where I brought it and got a good discount.

 Next up I applied some bronzer, just to give my face some definition. I dont really wanna look tanned so I used it in moderation. I used ELF Studio Bronzer in the warm shades. You get 4 differ colours with the compact but the sections are to small to really use seperatly so I just used a brush and combined all 4. I applied it all to the areas where you would expect there to be differing colour in the skin naturally. I applied some to the hair line and just under the cheeks and chin area. I also put a little down the sides of my nose to contour it a little. The ELF bronzer was £3 orginally but again I got it when they had 50% off so it was £.1.50

 I applied a blush next. I don't really need much blush because I blush all the time naturally. I used this boxed bronzing poweder by w7 as a blush. I think it was really cheap (maybe £1.50) in savers so I snapped it up to give it a go. It's ok, not the best thing in the world but not the worst either. I used the brush that came with it but that was not so good so next time I'll use a blush brush. The shade I used was Africa. The pink tones in the shade make it okay to use as a blush. It suited me actually so I will use it as a blush again.

 Next I did my eyes. I used Loreal Color Mineral eyeshadow in shade 06. It's a nice brown and when blended well its a good all over lid colour. I used this all over the lid and then I used MUA loose shadow in brown to go in the outer corner and the crease. They two were a good combo that I used when I need a quick eye look. I took the MUA shadow underneath the eye to give a smoky liner effect. I used some liner on the water line but other than that the only thing really under my eye was the shadow. The MUA shadow was from their £1 line and is great (I mean GREAT) quality for the price. The packaging might not be the best but I don't mind when it's so cheap and such great quality.
The colour minerals shadow was £1 in poundland. That may sound weird but if you dont mind end of line stuff and discon stuff you can get some really bargins in their and the 99p shop.

 

 
After I applied the shaodws I liner my lids with VOV proffesional gel liner in shade 02, which is brown. It's dark and still had a dramatic effect it's just not as intense as black which I tend to avoid.
The liner was from ebay and cost £3.00 for a brown and black liner. There was  free brush with it but it was awful so it went in the bin. I used a bent liner brush to apply it. It's so much easier than using kohl and liquid liner. I then applied ELF mascara. This one was in brown but really had the same effect as black. This ELF mascara is double ended (one end is waterproof and the other is normal). It's not the best mascara out there but it's not the worst. It's only £1.50 normally so it's kinda a bargin. I pushed this right to the roots of the lashes so it applied some to the upper waterline (is that a thing?) and made my lashes look thicker. It made the liner more intense to..

 Once that mascara was dry I used a second masacra to give my lashes a second coat and the make them more dramatic. This time I used a NYX long lash mascara in Eletric Blue. It's a super super super good colour mascara in my opinion. It looks great alone or when it's applied over black masacra. I used it over other masacra for a more dramatic effect but it looks great either way. I cannot remember how much this cost but it was in a discount store and I think it was about £3 something,

Next I put some brown liner on my lower water line. The one I used was from maybelline but I brought it from pound land so, of course, it was only £1 and discon. It's a great pencil and it's really smooth and goes on really well without any horrible tug on your eyes.

 Next I went back to my face and applied some highlighter. This one is from Collection 2000. This was about £4 something but it's no longer avaliable. I think it was meant to be a blush because it's been replaced with new style blushes but it's a great highlighter and I used it down the centre of my nose on the tops of my cheeks and as a brown highlight. This look did need the brow highlight just to lessen the eye intensisty a little.

 

Ans last but by no means least it's lips. I'm not a great lips lover and normally go natural but recently I have been obsessed with lips sticks and added one to this look. The lipstick I used is purpley in shade (the picture doesn't give a true colour I dont think.  It goes on more purple than pink like it looks). The lipstick is from the £1 range and is super pigmented and a good quality for the price. The MUA line is amazing and the eye shadows are epic! TRY THEM. NOW!!! (if you want). Over the top of the lip stick I used a Sally Hasen gloss that I got from savers for about £2. That was for 2 glosses soa good deal I think. I love these glosses. I love the want because I perfer wands that have a brush rather than a sponge tip thing. The shade looks super light in the picture but it did match the lipstick really well and made the lips dark and matched the dark eyes that I created. 

 

If you read this up to here youre brave and lasted longer than I would if I read this. I'm sure it's full of mistakes but I'm sure it won't damage your soul. Thanks for reading (if you did) or thanks for looking a my pretty pictures. Good day y'all (maybe I'll never say that again. I just can't pull it off)
