GRWM: Wedding Party Edition

Hiii, as promised I have the 'Get Ready With Me' from last week! I went to a wedding party and I actually really liked the make up, it was completely different from anything I've ever done so I thought I'd share it with you! 

I've come to the conclusion this week that I'm not quite ready to post selfies on here. I'm not sure why but it's something that scares me quite a lot so I've re-created this look in a way that I'm most comfortable with. By drawing. I've always found myself drawing in different situations and I find it de-stressing...(Is that a word?). Some of you may find this a bit of an odd way of doing this but this is something I do regularly when finding new make up looks and I thought it would be good to share it this way with you! 

ENJOY! 

Let's  get started!

Firstly, I used the No7 Stay Perfect Shine Free Primer. This is by far my favourite primer because it gives such a smooth base for my foundation. It lasts all day and doesn't let my make up slip around during the day. 

Like always, I then used the No7 Beautifully Matte Foundation. It goes on so well on top of the primer and it has the best coverage of foundations I've ever used. 

Moving onto concealer, I used the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. This is by far one of the best concealers I've owned. It works so well for covering spots and even acne scars. It lasts so long and I don't have to worry about it creasing. 

For under eye concealer, I used No7's Matchmade Concealer in Caliclo which is one shade lighter than my skin. I just use this to brighten my under eye area and to cover dark circles which this concealer is very good for! 

For brows, I picked the trustworthy Collection Work The Colour Nude Eye Palette and I used the top right brown for this. It's super easy to use and it's not too heavy and bold. 

Firstly for the eyes I used an eye primer from Avon and set it with 'Foxy' from the Naked 2 Palette. 

I then packed on the colour 'Half Baked' from the Naked 2 Palette and added a bit of definition in the crease using the colour 'Busted' again, from this palette. I also took Busted into a V in the outer corners and created a smokey eye. I made sure to blend both colours, especially Busted, upwards because if I did it downwards, it would make my eyes look dull and that's not a look I want to go for! 

I also took 'Blackout' on a small angled brush and pushed it into my top and bottom lashes and blended lightly to intensify the lash line. Basically using eyeshadow as an eyeliner. I'm not much of an eyeliner person (mainly because I can't do it) but eyeshadow is so much easier to do and personally, I think it completes any eye look.

Where I applied Half Baked, I went over and added the Barry M Dazzle Eye Shadow in Gold. I loved using this because it stood out but it wasn't bold and in your face so it made it a lot easier to wear. 

To finish the eyes, I used the Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde Mascara. I absolutely love this, it's so easy to apply and creates a false lash effect. 

For bronzer I dug out my old favourite and used the Bourjois Délice de Poudre Gold Bronzing Powder just to add a little definition and to add a bit of colour to my face. 

Moving onto lips, I started by using a small angled brush to apply my lipstick to outline my lips slightly to make it slightly easier for me to apply the lipstick. The lipstick I used was the Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture in 64 Fuschia Danger. This is by far my favourite part of the look, I absolutely adore this lipstick!

Feel free to re-create this and let me see! Tag me on Instagram, Twitter or email me, I'd be happy to see them!

Summer Make Up Look

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Hiii, today I have 2 eye looks for you! I really love these make up looks and I find them really easy to wear in the summer but I have worn them a few times for school. They're really subtle but they make me look a bit fresher (especially useful during them early mornings!). The two looks are pretty much the same except there is an expensive and cheap choice for this look! 

Firstly, the products that I used, not including the eyes: 

Primer ( I don't think it cost this much?!) 

Foundation  (I have mine in 180 Sand Beige) 

Concealer (Mine is in Cool Medium - honestly the BEST concealer!)

Powder

Bronzer

Mascara

For lips, I use any stick or gloss in a pale pink or pinky orange, like THIS (In Flirt)

For the eyes: 

For the slightly more expensive version of this look, I used the Naked3 Palette. 

I absolutely love it and the colours are perfect for summer! 

DUST and BURNOUT are very similar so I start off by using either of them just to cover my lid.  They are both really shimmery colours so I take LIMIT and run it through my crease just to tone the shimmer down. And that's it. It's really simple and it looks effortless but amazing!

For the cheaper version, I use this palette from Peacocks. I think it's about £7. It's a lot cheaper but still gives near enough the same look! 

For this one, I start off by using the second colour which is a pale cream and then I run the pink colour through the crease to add a bit of colour! And again, that's it! 

I hope you enjoyed this! The looks are super super easy! If you recreate either of these, let me see! Tag me on Instagram/Twitter or send them to me by email!

Naked3 Palette from Urban Decay

Hiii, today I have a review/opinion on the Naked3 Palette from Urban Decay! I think it's such a gorgeous palette and I think it'll be really useful for the summer so I thought I'd do it now as it's getting a little bit warmer! 

I always keep them in the boxes. One, because they're a lot easier to get them to stand when they're in the box. And two, I think they look really pretty, it's too nice to throw away! 

From left to right: STRANGE, DUST, BURNOUT, LIMIT, BUZZ, TRICK, NOONER, LIAR, FACTORY, MUGSHOT, DARKSIDE, BLACKHEART. 

I absolutely love this palette, you can use it for so many different occasions and it always looks gorgeous! I mainly wear mine for school, when I go shopping or if I'm going out but I'm wearing a really dark lip. I think I'm going to love wearing it in the summer a lot. The shades are so light and I think with minimal make up in the summer, I think it will look amazing! 

STRANGE: Personally, I use this for highlighting under my eyebrow if I'm going out at night, it makes the eyeshadow stand out more with it. 

DUST, BURNOUT, LIMIT, BUZZ: These are the colours that I will wear for school sometimes. They're so light so you can wear it without it looking like you've gone over the top, especially for school. LIMIT is actually a matte whereas the other three have a more glittery base, especially BUZZ. 

BUZZ, TRICK, NOONER: I probably wear these for going out for shopping or something. I know I've mentioned BUZZ twice but I'll wear it for both occasions. It's quite obvious when you're wear them but they're not in your face especially just for shopping, they're so useful! NOONER is also a matte and it's such a gorgeous colour, I'd have to say this is my favourite in the palette.  

LIAR, FACTORY, MUGSHOT, DARKSIDE, BLACKHEART: These are obviously your 'night' colours, when you're going to a party or for a meal, something like that. I absolutely love love love BLACKHEART! I think it's a really dark brown but with a hint of black and it looks amazing when you're wearing it with MUGSHOT and LIAR. 

As always, the pack comes with a crease and shadow brush and comes with four primer testers in the shades ORIGINAL, EDEN, SIN and ANTI-AGING which work so so so well!

All of the colours last so long, you don't have to worry about them losing their colour or anything while you're out. I have used this palette so many times and there is no marks in the palette to say I've used it yet, it's amazing! 

You can get these from Debenhams or online at Urban Decay and they cost £45. I would also check out the mini version of all three, I presume they're going to be useful if you're travelling and you don't fancy taking the full one.

Naked2 Palette from Urban Decay

Hiii, today I thought I would review the Naked2 Palette from Urban Decay. I bought it a few months ago and I love it so much! Personally, I think the Naked palettes are the best. They are so easy to wear and they are the type of colours you can wear any time of the day. 

You can't see the names clearly so, from left to right: FOXY, HALF BAKED, BOOTYCALL, CHOPPER, TEASE, SNAKEBITE, SUSPECT, PISTOL, VERVE, YDK, BUSTED, BLACKOUT. 

The good thing about the Naked palettes is that you don't need a lot on the brush when you're applying it. The colour shows up exactly the same no matter how much you put on your brush. 

Personally, I use the colour FOXY as a colour to highlight under the eyebrow. I won't use it all of the time but when you're going out to a party and you've got dark eyeshadow on, it makes such a difference and it makes the eyeshadow stand out. 

HALF BAKED, BOOTYCALL and CHOPPER are more subtle so these are really good for the day especially if you're going shopping or any occasion where you want something to stand out but not be a main feature. CHOPPER looks so amazing in the autumn or winter. I don't know why but it looks really nice when it's cold.

The remaining 8 colours in the palette are obviously your night colours. I find that these colours go with anything. I can wear any colour lipstick and clothes and it will still effectively stand out. 

Even though it's difficult to choose, my favourites are the colours YDK and BUSTED. They go with any of the colours and they look incredible!! 

With the Naked Palette you get a crease and shadow brush which I am also in love with. I feel like I don't have to wash this brush as often as other brushes because most of it is used when applying. 

Also, you get 4 eyeshadow primer testers. With this one I got primers in the colours ORIGINAL, EDEN, SIN and ANTI-AGING. The primers are meant to hold the eyeshadow in place for 24 hours but I've never kept it on that long but I'm sure it works! 

I hope you liked this, let me know in the comments!
