Spring Makeup look Tutorial

As of yesterday it is now officially Spring, yay! Im so happy to be saying goodbye to Winter and am looking forward to some nicer weather... well hopefully this is England after all! 

I haven't done a makeup look in a while and thought it would be nice to do something pretty and colorful for spring, i also just wanted to have a bit of a play with my Sleek Original Palette which has some great colours in it. 

What I Used-

Face

Benefit That Gal Primer

Benefit Porefessional

Estee Lauder Double Wear in Desert Beige 

Seventeen Phwoarr Paint in Medium 

Benefit Porefessional Agent Zero Shine (Review)

Topshop Matte Bronzer in Sandcastle 

Mac Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle (Review)

Sleek Blush by 3 in Sweet Cheeks (Review)

Eyes/Brows

Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil in Hazel 

Benefit Gimmie Brow in Light/Medium (Review)

Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in Bikini-Tini 

Sleek i-Divine Palette in The Original (Review)

Topshop Mascara in Black 

Collection Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner in Black 

Rimmel Scandaleyes Kohl Liner in Nude

Lips

Mac Lipstick in Hue (Review)

Maybelline Colour Sensational Cream Gloss in Lovely Pearl 

As i was using my Double Wear which is a very mattifying foundation and i feel can sometimes make the skin look a bit flat and dull, i wanted a more luminous base than normal. I applied that gal, which is a pink brightening primer, i then used Porefessional on top followed by my foundation. 

I used Phwoar Paint under my eyes to cover dark circles and then set the base with Agent Zero Shine finishing powder. 

Next i applied bronzer to the entire face and neck, Dolly Mix the lilac pink blush from the Sweet Cheeks palette and then highlighter to my cheekbones, down my nose and across my forehead. 

For the eyes i used the Benefit Cream Shadow as a base over the entire lid. 

Using the Sleek palette i applied the light pink colour over the lid up to the crease, the purple 3/4 of the way across the crease and to the outer corner, and the green along the bottom lash line. 

I then wet a brush and used the bright blue colour as eyeliner across the lashline and flicked it out. 

Next was some black liner along the top lash line, some nude liner on my waterline to open up the eyes and  then mascara.

Finally i used Mac Hue on my lips with a light pink lipgloss on top to finish. 

 I think this look is fun and pretty, its just a nice subtle pop of colour that you could make a bit more dramatic for night by simply adding some false lashes and maybe a bit of black liner to the waterline instead of nude. I hope you like it.

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick (Dark Night Waterl-Oops)

 

Hey Lovelies, i've been a lot braver and more experimental with my makeup lately, usually i would have saved the bold lips for nigh time looks, however i've found myself really being drawn to darker more vampy shades and have been wearing a bold lip for normal everyday makeup. 

This face of the day is the makeup i wore yesterday and i really liked how it turned out, i got a few compliments too which is always nice so i thought i share it with you as i want to do start doing more makeup posts. 

I worked the makeup around my favorite lipstick of the moment my dark plum Rimmel moisture Renew lipstick (Review). As its such a dark and vibrant glossy colour and i was doing a daytime look i didn't want too much going on with the eyes so i kept them simple using just two matte shadows from the Soap and Glory quad. 

I applied the lightest cream shade Vanilla all over the lid up to the brow bone and just applied the darkest brown shade Mudhoney into the crease and under the bottom lashes for a bit of definition, i skipped eyeliner and just applied a couple of coats of mascara. 

I hope you liked my face of the day post, how would you wear a bold plum lipstick?
