FOTD,. My everyday look



Hello guys,. so this is going to be my first ever face of the day post, this is the look I usually go for everyday as its kinda neutral with a little splash of colour for added "flare".
Lets get started : 
I have already applied my face make up, excuse the state of my hair etc, I do this after my make up so for now you will have to see me looking like a deranged badger.
On my face I am wearing :
  • Garnier Roll On, in the lightest shade under the eyes.
  • Rimmel Match Perfection foundation, 103 True Ivory.
  • Elf Complete Coverage Concealer, Light.
  • Elf Translucent Matifying Powder.
  • Elf Bronzer from the Blush & Bronzing kit, shade blushed/ bronze.
  • Mac Hocus Focus colourful face kit, for blush and highlight.
  • Elf Eyebrow Kit, in Dark ( I should really get a light one now I bleach my hair)




Onto the eyes, I will always apply a layer of mascara to the lashes as I am working on my face make up, so when I come to do my eyes the lashes are already curled and dry to apply a second coat of mascara at the end for full dramatic lashes.


Firstly I apply Mac Paint Pot in Bare Study all over the lids to act as my primer. 
I have only recently purchased this in the last month but I swear by it now, I use it everyday and is seriously does not crease and keeps my shadow in place all day :)


Next I apply Mac shadow in Orb all over the lid using a No.7 Eye Colour Brush. This shade is very neutral and just makes my lids pop a little as it is a tiny bit lighter than my natural lid colour.


After this using a Mac 219 brush I apply Mac shadow in Gesso to my inner corner and blend out about 1/5 of the eye, to open up the eyes and make them "fresh as a daisy". This is a matte white, I don't want to use too much shimmer in this look. 
I then go into the outer "V" of the eye using Tequila Sunrise (orange shimmer) from the Sleek Curacao palette. I use another No.7 Eyeshadow Colour Brush to apply the colour then use a Crown IB119 Deluxe Crease brush to blend it out, this brush is very similar to the Mac 222 Tapered blending brush. I bring the orange colour about 1/4 into the eye from the outer corner.
Now onto the crease colour, I use a chocolate matte brown colour, any will do but for this look I use Yaby ws 231 Coco Powder. Starting from the outer end of the crease I apply the colour using a  Crown Brush IB116 Round Crease, this is a dupe for the Mac 219. I bring the colour 3/4 of the way through the crease and blend it upward slightly to create more definition as my crease could do with a bit of help ( hahaha now that sounds like a euphemism). 
Now this is done all that is left to do is blend the Coco Powder to create a nice soft edge using the Crown IB119 again and add a highlight across the brow bone. I use an Elf pan shadow in Ivory for this and using a Mac 227 sweep this all the way under my eyebrow and down at the outer edge to meet the crease colour.
Lastly I use Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero on my lower waterline, Rimmel Glam Eyes liquid liner on the upper lashline and slatherings of Rimmel Max Bold Curves Mascara over both sets of lashes.



And this is the completed look. I have Mac Courting Lilac on the lips with a touch of Revlon Lilac Pastelle Lipgloss.


Hope you like.
