Daily Make-up Routine

I love reading about and watching other bloggers & Youtuber's everyday make-up routines, and so just to chuck another one in the rounds I thought I would share my standard everyday make-up with all of you - I hope you enjoy!

Excuse my mucky make-up

Foundation - Rimmel Match Perfection SPF18 in True Ivory 103

Concealer - Rimmel Hide the Blemish in Sand 002

Pressed Powder - Rimmel Stay Matte in Transparent

Mascara - Revlon Photoready 3D Volume Mascara in Blacked Brown

Eyeshadow - MUA Palette in Undressed - Shade 2

Blush - Sleek Blush in Suede 

First I make sure I moisturise, during the summer I get really dry skin across my forehead and around my nose. Simple moisturiser has always been on my dressing table and leaves my face feeling soft and nourished without being over oily.

These are the brushed I use to do my make-up...

Foundation/Concealer - Real Techniques Expert Face Brush 

Pressed Powder - Elf Kabuki Brush

Blush - Real Techniques Blush Brush

Eyes - Elf Stubby Eye Brush

So, I use my Hide the Blemish concealed around my nose and under my eyes as well as on any spots or red patches. I then about 3/4 of a pump of Rimmel Match Perfection on the back of my hand and use my Expert Face Brush to blend the foundation evenly.

With my Elf Kabuki Brush I set my foundation by dabbing the pressed powder over my face, I love a matte finish when it comes to make-up.

Next I get my Sleek Blush and my Real Techniques Blush Brush and with a quick sweep I add a little bit of colour back to the apples of my cheeks. I love this colour of blush, it's subtle but it just adds enough pigment.

I'm not an overly adventurous person when it comes to daily make up so I also go straight for the slightly sparkly pink shade (shade 2 in the palette) it just adds enough to make my eyes not seem so dead, and like I tried to make a bit of an effort.

I then use the Revlon 3D Volume Mascara to thicken and lengthen my top lashes, I use about 2-3 coats but I only use a light amount on my bottom lashes, just enough to make them noticeable.

And this is the finished look, not OTT but just enough to make it look liked an effort was made :) 

Summer on the Farm

Here's a little insight into our summer evening having a stroll round our friends farm..

It is mine and Tom's dream to own a farm like this one day, but who knows what the future holds.. maybe Bella will be our very own sheep dog - maybe not! :)

OOTN #1

My parents took me out for a bit of tea Saturday night, I love spending time with them since I no longer live at home and my mum always loves it when I make a bit of effort rather than going out in my jeans and muddy wellies!

I took a few pictures to do a quick OOTN although it's not majorly glamourous I thought it was enough effort to document.

I kept my hair down a natural, just gave a quick zhuzh flicked it to one side and voila - hair, done!!

I went for a bronzed look considering it has been so sunny and I am just still so pale! All I did was carry out my everyday make-up but substituted my Sleek Blush for the Boots Natural Collection Bronzing Pearls.

On my eyes I have the MUA Undressed Palette using Shade 5 all over the lid and Shade 7 blended into the corner and the crease, I also slightly lined my lower eyelid.

My Revlon Photoready 3D Volume Mascara did just the trick to lengthen & thicken my lashes.

I wore this black skater dress from Primark, I think this is one of their £5.00 value dresses, it's so light and soft, perfect for this weather as it's not clingy. I just paired this simply with a tan waist belt, also from Primark I think.

And finally I housed my feet in this very comfy sandals from Topshop, they are super soft.. although I always find sandals hard to fit into as my toes are quite short! I love the Rose Gold buckle detail on these and I always get comments on them!

 I hope you enjoyed my post, leave your comments below! :)
