Autumn Make-up

So I'm not going to pretend I'm some expert when it comes to applying make-up -because I'm not! - but I will happily admit that I love it & I'm a little bit addicted to buying it! So I thought I'd share with you my everyday Autumn make-up look.


Here's the final look & below is the make-up I used. If you want to find out how I got this look then carry on reading! 


So firstly I begin with the Bourjous 123 Perfect Foundation in shade Vanilla No. 52. I think this is the perfect shade for my skin tone, it doesn't make me look too pale or like I've just rolled around in orange paint. It also has a really nice consistency & would say it has a light to medium coverage.


Next I apply the Collection's Lasting Perfection Concealer in shade Fair 1. There isn't a large variety of shades in this concealor however I think it's perfect for me & is must have for every girl's make-up bag. I normally apply this on any blemishes, under my eyes & around my t-zone.


After I've applied my foundation and concealor I set it with Bourjous's healthy balance matte powder, also in shade Vanilla No. 52. I've only just started using this powder & just beginning to find out if it works with my skin or not. So far so good though.


Then I use Natural collection blush in Peach melba. I really like how this blush has a tint of a bronze within it, perfect for a natural autumn look.


I also contour slightly with Rimmel Bronzing Compact Powder in Medium matte. This is a good colour for my fair complexion.


Once all my face make-up is complete, I move onto my brows & eyes. I start by using the MUA Eyeshadow palette - Heaven & Earth. Taking an eye brow brush and a dark brown shade from the palette I just apply it to my brows to just enhance them. Because I have fairly dark, full eye brows I don't tend to do much to them. I then take a lighter brown shade and apply it to the lid & then a dark shade & apply it to the crease. Just using a real techniques brush to blend it in.


After applying the shadow, I use the Soap & Glory Supercat Liquid Black eye liner and apply it to my top lid. 


And finally I finish off my eyes with Models own eye lash curlers and applying a few coats of Seventeen Falsifieye HD mascara in Blackest black. This mascara is a new buy but I love how it doesn't clump my eye lashes together like a lot of mascaras.


I then finish off my look with Soap & Glory's Smooth Operator lip balm & apply Rimmel's lasting finish lipstick in Birthday Suit.



If you made it this far, THANK YOU! I appreciate anyone who reads any of posts & I hope you'll stick around with me as I grow. 
Much love,
