Everyday Makeup

So, this is the look that I wear on my eyes everyday for college and work. Hope this helps you discover your everyday look.

So, first up this is the look, the picture quality isn't great but hopefully it will give you an idea.

I applied this using a foundation brush that I  brought from Primark. This foundation brush is actually better than the brush that I got a superdrug, even if it is Primark.

 

Next up I applied concealer to the areas that I want to cover up, to my under eye and my eyelids. I apply it to my eyelids because I have veiny eyelids that look better when covered up.  I used Rimmel Match Perfection Concealor. It says that it's a skin tone adapting product that is also a 2 in 1 concealoer and highlighter. I have this in the sahde ivory which is 010. It comes in a tude that has a brush applicator attached but I till used the product on the back of my hand and applied it with a separate brush, also a brush from Primark. 

 

Newxt I applied my eyeshaow. This isn't essential to the look but I like a little colour on my lids. I used 3 shaodws for this look. First I applied MUA shade 17.  It's a matt colour, and it's a very light brown colour. It's barely visable on the lids but it does even the lids out and provides a great base for any other colours. I applied this with my fingers, just for quickness. 

 After I applied this all over the lid and up to the brow bone I took my eyeshadow quad from Avon. It's called colour trend and it's in the set Flirty Eyes: Bashful  Browns. the quad is made up of 4 cream shadows that would can create simple and dramatic looks. It comes in a round tube with a hidden compartment for a sponge applicator. I always find it best to apply cream shadows with my fingers so I've used the applicator for other powder shadows that I have. I used two colours from this quad. I used the first two colours that are cream and light brown. I took the cream colour and applied it to the inner corner of my eyes, just so they looked more awake and wider. I also applied a very sheer coat as a highlight below my brow bone. I used the brown to provide sheer colour to my lid. I just used this up to the cream and it gave my eyes some shimmer and a little bit more colour.

I added a little gloss to my lips just so they weren't nude but I didn't want to much colour. I used sally hansen's diamond 12 hrs lip treatment in the shade honeymoon. I applied a very sheer layer.  It's a good colour to make your lips a pop.

Oh My... ELF!!

I ordered some bits and things from ELF when they had 50% off and they had free shipping for orders over  £30. So, I got £60 worth of cosmetics for £30 which I think is awesome. But anyways this post is on the brushes that I brought from ELF. I got one from the studio range, which was £1.50 and the other brushes I got were from the refular range and cost me 75p (thats with the 50% off).

Lets get into this:

So, Ill start with the studio brush that I got:

 

The stipple brush that I got was from the studio line and more epensive than the regular line but when you compare prices of ELF brushes to others makes like MAC, £3 isn't all that bad. This is a good brush. It's nice and soft and it applied powder really well. It does say on the packaging that it can be used to apply foundation to. I used this brust to apply liquid foundation and it just wasn't good. I used three times the amount of foundation because of it and the brush just stuck together and didn't blend the foundation at all. I ended up having to rub the foundation over the skin with my fingers and another foundation brush. 

 

I haven't used this brush yet but it feels soft considering it cost £1.50. I'll update when I do use it 

 This is a blending brush that I got. It's good. It's just as good as the GOSH one that I got in superdrug for about £6 which is more expensive that this brush for £1.50. I actually got this brush for 75p with free shipping. (Much love to ELF for that!!)

 

This is another brush I got. It's a concealor brush but it's my only real HATE from my haul. It's actually the smallest brus1`you can think of and it's impossible to apply and blend concealor with it. Check out my wearable look to see what my ususal concealor brush looks and compare the stupid size of this brush to the normal sized concealor brush.
