This time last year, I had only just found out about Youtube, and what contouring, highlighting and all that sha-bang was. So over the following months I grabbed some bronzers, some highlighters and a multitude of colours, and added about 10 minutes to the time it took me to get ready in the morning. The other week, however, I decided it was time to just take it back to basics, and see how I felt about that look.
Base:
Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation
Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch
Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer
Eyes:
MAC Painterly
Max Factor High Definition Mascara
Cheeks:
Nars Multiple in Portofino
Lips:
Revlon Berry Smoothie
I was really taken aback how much using the right products, even in my old basic way, still looks so much better than it did last year, and I also really like this look, just as much as when I use a million different products!
Do you prefer a full face, or barely there make up?

I personally always feel better with a bit of eyeshadow and some liner, and a full face of makeup tends to accompany the two for me. But you really pull off the barely there makeup look nicely! I have just never been able to perfect it. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you :)

You look so beautiful in these pictures, it definitely works for you to not use looooads of products (even though that works too!) xxxx
ReplyDeleteAw fanks :)

Sometimes simple is best! I find that I take quite a bit longer to do my face in the mornings than when I first started becoming interested in makeup. I'm not sure if I'd go back to my routine then - I barely used foundation and only had a single pencil eyeliner and mascara :p
ReplyDeleteYes, my morning routine has doubled!! haha!

this looks so pretty! Simple makeup is my favorite kind!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous! I especially like how your eye come out in this look. I also generally prefer less makeup on a daily basis. xx
