My simple everyday make-up routine :)

This is a makeup routine that I've been doing for ages now as its quick & not too 'done' looking for going to work or classes. I prefer looking au naturale lol and just using makeup to enhance facial features (also to disguise blemishes of course!). Altogether it takes about 10-15 mins! Sometmes if I want to be abit more dolled up (meeting the boyfriend or going shopping) I put on extra intense 'smokey' brown eyeshadow and longer (exaggerated) eyeliner flicks as well as mascara.

So, without further adieu I'll show you the steps through some pictures!:)

I've just put on moisturiser, little foundation & brow shadow to create a more definate brow.
Next I do the eyeshadow: 
darker matt brown on the upper outer corners of the eye to create shadow and illusion of a bigger crease, 
glimmery gold on the upper middle corner of the eye & bottom inner corner (to make the eyes look bigger), 
and a dark glimmery ombrey brown colour on the bottom middle to outer eye to outline the eyes (without using eyeliner which is more harsh).
Next I do my (signature lol) subtle cat flicks!
2 quick coats of mascara
All done!
The makeup used are:
1. Superdrug Vitamin E SPF 15 radiance moisture cream. Gotta have the spf! Even in Scotalnd lol. I love this cos this moisturiser contains light relecting pigments to give radiance & it smells goooood :)

2. Bourjois paris healthy mix in 51 (vanilla clair). This gives up to 16 hour glowing complexion and toned skin. It is a liquid foundation so its very light and I can use more or less depending on the coverage I want.

3. Sleek brow kit indark 818. This is really good as sit contains powder, gel and 2 different application brushes as well as tweezers! 

4. The body shop tea tree concealer in 01. I feel better when I use this on spots as I'm not just covering the spots (clogging it up) with makeup, instead this concealer does not clog up skin and has tea tree properties to help clear impurities!

5. Sleek mineral based eyeshadow palette in storm 578. I used the second gold colour and the matt brown. The glimmery dark brown is really handy to use on a night out to touch up on eyemakeup!

6. Eyeshadow alette by H&M. I just used one ombre brown colour from this. There are 36 different colours so I am always tempted to use the crazy colours (especially when I' going out!) for a change but most times I end up like the Joker. Lol I'll do my night out makeup routine soon!

7. 2true waterproof eyeliner. Good for staying on even when I get sweaty or cry :'( lol

8. Rimmel lash accelerator in 003 extreme black. This is supposed to be a lash treatment which provides benefits to the lashes; length, strength, nourish and renewal. I think it has increased length to my lashes to some extent but I'm not sure if it has given strength or made them thicker. It took perhaps a month to really notice changes and overall I'm pretty happy with this product!




Hope you enjoyed looking at my makeup routine :) any Qs or comments most welcome!
