With uni starting all over again and having to wake up every morning at 6 o'clock again, my bathroom time will be a little bit more limited. So I've come up with a make up look that I can do in 10 mintes or even less and I thought I would share it with you guys and let you know what my favourite products of the moment are all at the same time ;)
Before starting make up I go through my skincare routine, that way my face is completely clean and there's less chance of my pores clogging up.
First off I apply my Body Shop All-In-One BB Creme in the colour 00 (which is a formula that adapts to your own skin colour, which comes in very handy right after summer). The BB creme looks very natural on the skin and consequently doesn't have a lot of coverage, so then I head in with some concealer. I still use the same old Maybelline Dreamlumitouch in 01 Ivory, because I basically am in love with it and it still hasn't failed me ever. Having to adjust again to the rhythm of going to class, the first weeks my dark circles will probably be in full bloom so that's why I use the Garnier BB Creme Miracle Skin Perfector. (TIP : If you keep this little tube in the fridge, it will also do a great job at de-puffing your eyes !)
With the base done, I almost look like a human being again, but some contouring always does a more believable job. So I start with the MAC bronzing powder in Golden in the hollows of my cheeks and on my temples. Then it's time for some life in those cheeks, right now I'm using the MAC extra dimension blush in Seduced At Sea. Before heading in with my Rimmel Stay Matte setting powder, I apply some Mac mineralize skinfinish in Soft & Gentle on my cheekbones to add a little dewiness to the look.
We're almost done, after the whole face base, it is time to colour a few things in. I start with my brows, using the trusty old Catrice eyebrow pencil in A Date With Ash-ton I fill them in and create a slight arch. And lastly the eyelashes deserve some love too, I'm currently loving the Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam mascara, it really does a lovely allround job and looks almost like you're wearing fake lashes. Throw in some lipstick and you're ready to go !
This is just a very light and simple look that will last you all day while walking around campus and attending classes. And the best thing is, the BB Creme has a very good smell that lasts throughout the day right under your nose ;)
Love,
K.
