Lashes, Liner and the best Setting Spray!

Hello! I unfortunately caught the awful cold/flu bug going round so i apologise for a lack of posts in the past couple of weeks. Over the course of September i have been falling in love with the more simple makeup looks involving sharp black eyeliner and fluttery eyelashes!

I have been obsessing over lashes recently and as i'm creating more Blog and Instagram makeup tutorials, i feel my need to buy them is gradually increasing. Initially i was going to make a purchase of some Red Cherry Lashes, however as soon as i was ready to order i got overwhelmed by all the choices and put it off 'till another day. I went into my local cheap makeup supplier and saw some lashes by a brand called Amazing Shine Lashes. I ended up buying three pairs oops! These lashes are amazing. They are such good quality, come in all different lengths and styles and are only £2.99. I am so impressed with them and will 100% be making an order off their website very soon.

Winged liner is my holy grail. For 5 years i have been trying out every single eyeliner possible on the quest to find the best formula and brush to create a gorgeous sleek wing. I am currently using (and loving) the Anastasia Beverly Hills Waterproof Creme Colour in Jet. When i first purchased this i felt a little disappointed as it does dry out quickly. I use a felt tip liner pen dipped in micellar water to keep the product nice and hydrated. When used nice and damp, the liner is gorgeous, glides on smoothly and honestly lasts most of the day! I wouldn't say it was 100% waterproof but it is most definitely splash proof.

I picked up a setting spray from Makeup Revolution the other day for £5. I have never ever tried a spray of this kind before, and i am so impressed with this one! I was having a little look at the Urban Decay ones but the Revolution one is so cheap, and works so well that I am going to stick with this product! It's a strange feeling applying the spray, however it feels surprisingly moisturising yet not at all oily. It takes a couple of minutes to dry and then you are good to go. I use all sorts of primers, base layers and powders to keep my makeup intact all day yet it lasted even longer with this spray.

Thanks for reading!

Get the look! Autumn brown eyes

Hello! Todays look is based around the gorgeous autumn tones appearing all over the country. This look has a strong focus on the eyes, which are a mixture of browns, shimmers golds and oranges, enjoy!

Step 1:
I started off with a completely dry face, i removed all of my old makeup using the Garnier Micellar Water. I then moisturised my face with the Blue Lagoon moisturiser, to give my skin a glowy look underneath my foundation. When that had completely sunk in, i then primed my skin using my Maybelline Baby Skin Primer.

Step 2:

Next i applied my Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation all over my face using my Nanshy Flawless Foundation Brush. This foundation gives a gorgeous glowy look without looking oily at all, and honestly lasts all day! I brushed on my Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer under my eyes and set it with the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder.

I next filled in my eyebrows using my trusty Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in soft brown. I also cleaned up just underneath my brows with the same concealer just to give my brows a more defined crisp effect. 

I then applied the Urban Decay Primer Potion in original all over my lids to create a base for my eyeshadow. 

Skin and brows done!

Step 3:

This is where the look gets exciting! I love doing my eyes so much i feel that the eyes just make a look stand out! Using my Makeup Revolution Flawless Matte Palette i used a mixture of Burnt and Rust (two gorgeous oranges) through my crease as a transition shade. I then took Tease from my Urban Decay Naked 2 palette and ran that through the crease to darken it up. I applied MAC All That Glitters over the lid, and then ran Earth from the MUR palette through my crease again to just add some more effect. I also applied this under my lower lash line. 

I then winged my liner using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Waterproof Creme Colour in jet, and applied a coat of my Lash Sensational Mascara in Waterproof.

Step 4:
For the last steps of this look, i used my Artist of Makeup Cream Contour Stick in Medium to contour my skin and then my Makeup Revolution Contour Palette over the top to set it. I then topped off my cheek bones with the Mary Loumanizer Highlighter.

The finished look:

Thanks so much for reading! I enjoy posting these looks more than anything.
