Hi all! As promised, another "What's on my (Friend's) Face" post today - these seem to be so popular with you all, and I absolutely love doing them. Last month I did my friend Bridget's makeup, to see that click HERE.

This month I did one of my best friend's Nathalie's makeup - she is absolutely gorgeous, and her eye lashes are so god damn long and thick! Since last month's makeup was a little lighter and more natural, I decided to go a bit crazy with Nat's makeup (and she was very willing to as well!). I love how it turned out - the bronze smokey eye and the bright orange lips look amazing, especially on her. 

I decided to do a really shimmery smokey bronze eye look - it looked amazing on her eyes, and she pulled it off so well! I kept it pretty smokey and "messy" - I made sure there were no clean crisp lines, and everything was blended out nicely, The key when doing a eye makeup look like this is to layer and blend, layer and blend. I focused most of the darkness on her outer v and her lash line, and also put quite a bit on her lower lash line to balance the heaviness on the top. 

I was originally going to do a nude lipstick since the eye makeup was heavy and smokey - however Nat insisted on this orange lipstick and after much hesitation, I actually love it! It looks amazing on her, and goes well with all the bronze on the eyes. 

Products used:

Revlon Colourstay Foundation in True Beige  mixed with Rimmel Wake Me up Foundation in Soft Beige

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer 

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder

Wet N Wild Blush in Perlesent Pink

Sax Eyebrow Kit

Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Bad To The Bronze

Urban Decay Naked Palette - eye shadows in Smog (all over the lid and blended into lower lash line), Darkhorse (outer v) and Virgin (inner corners)

Maybelline Gel Liner in Black (smudged into outer upper lash line)

Maybelline Colossal Mascara with Maybelline Great Lash on top

Wet N Wild lipstick in 24 Carrot Gold  (A really good dupe for Macs Moronge lipstick if you are looking for one on a budget)

Thank you Nat for being an amazing model and an amazing friend, you are so gorgeous and lovely and amazing! I wish I was so good at taking pictures as you are, your honestly a natural in front of the camera, and thanks for letting me go crazy on your makeup. I'm so fortunate to have such willing, beautiful friends :) 

Soon I will be doing a final room tour so look forward to that, and if you have a blog of your own, let me know in the comments and I will make sure to check it out. Love you all!

Hi lovelies! I hope you are having a fantastic week! As promised, I am showing you the makeup I wore on my birthday. I have already done another blog post which features photos from the day (as well as my outfit if you are interested), to see that click HERE. I'm really happy with how the makeup turned out, we went out for lunch so I didn't want to make it too dramatic and crazy. Overall I'm really happy with it and I've almost mastered my winged eyeliner (almost... not quite there... yet...).

For my makeup I kept a really fresh face; no foundation, only concealer. I focused mainly on my eyes - I used my trusty Urban Decay Naked palette and added a small winged liquid liner to my lash line, and LOTS of mascara of course! 

Products used:

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder

Sleek Blush Trio in Lace  (I used the far right color - a matte coral pink)

Elf Brow Kit

Elf Brow Gel

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barley Branded

Urban Decay Naked Palette - Sin, Buck, Smog

Maybelline Master Line Liquid Liner

Maybelline The Falsies Mascara

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Nude Delight

For my hair kept it really simple - I threw it in a low bun and curled a few loose pieces. 

I used Sin (index finger) all over my lid, Smog (middle finger... haha) on my outer V, and Buck (ring finger) in my crease as a transition color. 

I hope you enjoyed having a look at the makeup I wore, I was really pleased with the result. Maybe it gave you some inspiration or guidance, but in saying that I really believe that what makeup you wear, should be the makeup that you love the most. So it you wanna wear bright blue eyeshadow in the day time cos that's your thing - go ahead! Love you all!

What's On My (cousin's) Face - simple, neutral, every day makeup

Hi lovelies! I hope you are all having a fantastic week. My gorgeous cousin Martha came over to stay from England, and I was so exited to see her! 

She is such a sweetheart, plus she's absolutely stunning an soooo photogenic (jealous!), and I love doing her make up. I thought I would show you the simple makeup look I did on her, and also introduce you to one of my favorite people in the world! 

I kept every thing pretty neutral and simple, and I think this would be a perfect makeup look for every day (work, uni, school, etc...), or you could swap the nude lipstick for a deep red lipstick, or add winged eyeliner, and it would be perfect for a night out. 

Products used:

• Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse
• Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer
• Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder
• Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder
• Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso
• Mac Eye Shadows in jest (blended all over lid), and Satin Taupe (in outer half/V)
• Urban Decay Naked Palette - Eye Shadows in virgin (in inner corners) and smog (on outer upper lash line)
• Clinique Mascara (unsure of the actual mascara as its Martha's, not mine)
• elf Brow Kit in medium
• Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in nude delight

I hope you enjoyed this post, I absolutely love this makeup look. It's pretty neutral but I was determined to use Mac Satin Taupe in a blog post, and it compliments Martha's gorgeous brown eyes so well.

Let me know what you thought of this blog post, I love to read all your comments and recommendations! Love you all!

Hi lovelies! I hope you have all had a fantastic week. Today's post I am super exited about, I am sharing with you my everyday makeup. 

This is what I wear on a daily basis; for school, on weekends, or just popping out of the house for a wee while. I don't wear any foundation or fancy eye shadow, as I feel like it just isn't necessary (plus, I love keeping my shimmery eye shadows and liquid liner for getting more dressed up). 

This is super simple and easy to recreate - all I have done is just made a better more enhanced, fresher version of me (who doesn't look like she's had 2 hours of sleep).

For my everyday makeup, I mainly focus on my brows and lashes, and like to change up my blusher frequently. I keep everything else very simple, pretty, and just natural. 

I wear a nude shade all over my lid, which literally is just a flesh toned matte shade. I then wear a little pencil liner blended into my lash line, and add a little white in the inner corners of my eyes, if I am looking especially tired.

My 'Every Day Makeup' products are:

Mabyelline Fit Me Concealer in light
Elf Eyebrow Kit in medium
Clinique Blusher in bashful plum
Clinique Eye Shadow in french vanilla (all over lid) - eye shadow on far left

Rimmel Soft Kohl Eye Liner in black (blended into lower and upper lash line)

Australias Eyeliner in white (in inner corners of eyes)

Maybelline The Falsies Mascara

I wasn't wearing any lip stick/gloss in the picture, just Burts Bees Beeswax Lip Balm. However when I do put lip product on, it is either my Revlon Lip Butter in peach parfait, NYX Butter Gloss in tiramisu, or Maybelline Baby Lips in cherry crush.

There you go! I really hope you enjoyed this blog post - please let me know any future blog ideas in the comments as I would love to hear them! Love you all!
