My First Tutorial... Now, I've never done a tutorial in my life. Especially on a blog so excuse me if its a bit crappy. I am no means a make up artist or expert, I just love using it and being creative.
I started by applying my base makeup. To begin with i applied my This Works Primer and I used a sample foundation i received to try however i was not told what the foundation was and therefore i can't tell you guys what i used. I applied with a beauty blender and then used the Rimmel Insta Fix and Matte to set it.
I then moved on to they eyes. Every shadow i used on my eyes was from the Colourpop Yes Please palette. I started by applying the shade GNO all over the lid. I then blended the shade Spoiled into the crease and applied Big Cocktails deeper in the crease. I wanted to attempt a half cut crease and therefore i applied some Colourpop No Filter Concealer to my lid and looked up to mark where i needed to cut the crease. I then blended this into the lid. I then applied the shade Butter Cake to the lid, i packed this on for maximum pigment.I then blended this out slightly with the shade spoiled and added the Shade Bling to the outer corner. To finish off the eye look a blended Spoiled and bling under the waterline.I then finished the eye look with some eyeliner and a pair of Ardell lashes and the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara.
To finish off the look i needed to perfect my face makeup. I began by applying my Colourpop concealer under my eyes and on my blemishes. I then set that with my Rimmel powder. I outlined my brows using the black shade in the Collection Eyebrow Kit and filled them in using the Benefit Goof Proof. I then added bronzer and the blush from the NYX New York set to add colour to my face. I then packed on some Colourpop Flexitarian highlighter to my cheekbones and in my inner corner as i love to blind people with this super pigmented highlighter!
I feel this look is perfect for during the day on Valentines day. Please let me know what you think!

Want to know what make up I'll be using in January?
Hey! Welcome to my new blog post. Since the new year is upon us I've decided to really get use out of all my make up this year so each month I will be switching up the makeup products that I am using and I will be showing you along the way , just in case your interested. I was quite worried I wasn't going to get this post up in time as I normally write my posts up on Sunday, however after a long long day exploring Knowsley Safari Park I have managed to still squeeze writing up this blog post for you. Enjoy!
Face Products
Sooo... to begin with lets tackle face products. For foundation I will be using up my last bit of L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24 Hours Foundation. I quite like this foundation however there isn't much left so I'm just going to finish off the bottle. I wouldn't say it is full coverage but it does give you a nice glow. I don't know anyone who would want to wear foundation for 24 hours but I mean if you do it's not very good for you skin! Next is concealer and for that I will be using Collection Lasting Perfection . Again I am just finishing off what little I have left but I live for this concealer and I need to repurchase immediately. I totally forgot to mention primer, I will be using This Works in Transit Camera Close-up and for powder I will be trying out the Rimmel Insta Matte Powder which is new to me. For contour I will be trying out my new cream kit from Barry M and for extra warmth a bronzer from the affordable brand MUA. Finally in the face section I will be trying the Anastasia Beverly Hills Ultimate Glow Kit which I picked up on sale at Cult Beauty.
Eye Products
For eye makeup I'm going to be keeping it simple in terms of eye shadow and a less intense mascara just because..why not? Now lets get brows out of the way first as I realised this should probably be under face products but it's to late to change that now. I will be using a so called semi permanent brow powder from Ruby Cosmetics, now I wouldn't call it semi permanent but it does make a nice powder. Now for eye shadow I will be using a single golden shimmer shadow along with the shadows in my NYX New York set which also comes with a lippy and a blush and highlight. For eyeliner and mascara I will be using the Rodial smokey eye pen and the Skin Chemist 3 in 1 mascara.
(From top to bottom: True lips lip liner, True lips lip liner, Baby Lips-Grapefruit zing, Max Factor-Rasin, Colourpop- Calypso, MDMflow- Bossy, Accesorize diamond gloss)
Lip Products
Finally! That is all the make up that I will be exploring in January 2018! Some new make up and some old make up. I will be trying to upload every Monday from now on. I also created a new Facebook page for the blog so you can keep updated so make sure you check out my social media links at the top of the page.
Have a great day!
