Natural Everyday Makeup


Hey guys! Today's post is going to be my natural everyday makeup. I would wear this if I wanted quite a neutral and natural look when I'm not doing much that day or my skin was going through a bad phase! It also doesn't use that many products, and allows my skin to breathe whilst still letting me wear makeup. Now onto what I used!

Face

To start off my face I gently smoothed a pea-sized amount of the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer all over my skin! This is a new product that I have been trying out and so far I love it. Using the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush I blended the Vichy Idealia BB Cream, in the shade Light onto my skin, then followed up with the Nars Creamy Concealer in Vanilla under my eyes and on a couple of blemishes on my chin and forehead using the Eco Tools Deluxe Concealer Brush! To set the base makeup I dusted some of the Collection Pressed Powder, in Ivory, on top with a powder brush (from a cheap makeup brush set).

Eyes

The first thing I always do to my eyes is apply the Helen E Eyeshadow Primer to help make my eyeshadow last that bit longer! For eyeshadow I used the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette, from which I applied the shades Naked 2 and Walk Of Shame (W.O.S) all over my lids using the Nanshy Large Shader Brush. In the outer corners I blended in the tiniest bit of Faint, which is extremely pigmented so you must be careful about how much you use, with the Nanshy Blending Brush!

I used two eyeliners in this look, the first being the Soap & Glory Supercat Pen Eyeliner to create quite a thin line along my top lash line, and then the Smashbox Limitless Eyeliner in Onyx on my upper waterline to create a little more definition. Then I tried out, for the first time, the Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara on my top eyelashes and I was quite impressed with it! It really seemed to give volume to my eyelashes, so I must try it out some more. To complete my eyes I used a small amount of Venus, from the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette, in the inner corner of my eye to add a subtle highlight!

Lips

The first thing I used on my lips was a Balmi in Raspberry to help moisturise my lips a little because they were pretty dry that day! Next came the MAC Lipstick in the shade Peach Blossom - which is one of my favourite lipsticks at the moment since it is a gorgeous peach shade which looks lovely and natural. To finish the lips I applied the Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss in Illume to add a little bit of a shine! I am really impressed with this at the moment as normally I don't get on with lipglosses (I hate the stickiness), however this one is barely sticky at all and gives my lips a gorgeous pop of colour whilst helping to enhance them.

That is how I complete this look! It is pretty quick to do and would be lovely to wear when you aren't doing much or it's hot (ahh I can only dream of when those warm days happen). I hope you liked this post!

What products do you like to wear when you are having a natural makeup day?

    1. Thank you! My jealous isn't as clear as it appears in the photo though haha, I just stand near a window and it makes it look better than it is. They are great combinations - I much prefer that sort of makeup to caking my face in makeup! x
