FACE OF THE DAY

Uni AGAIN today...

Foundation:

Mac Studio Fix Fluid - NW13. I don't usually wear my mac foundation for uni or work, but I've ran out of my everyday, and I'm waiting for my good old friend payday to come round before I restock. I applied this with a Real Techniques Buffing Brush.

Concealer:

I've used a mixture of two concealers today as different concealers work better for different areas of my face. For general blemishes and red areas I've use Mac Mineralize Concealer - NC20. This is a really lightweight concealer and is easy to blend in using any brush (I used my real techniques buffing brush).

For my under eyes I've used Mac Studio Finish Concealer - NW15. This is quite a thick and long wear concealer and doesn't tend to move through out the day. I use it in a slightly lighter shade than all of my other concealers to make my eyes appear brighter. Applied with a Mac 287 Brush.

Cheeks:

I tend to use bronzer over blusher as blusher tends to make me look washed out and even more pale than I already am! I've used the NARS Bronzing Powder - Laguna. Applied with a Real Techniques Kabuki Brush.

Lips:

I've become a huge fan of lipsticks over the past few months and Mac are my all time favourites. I'm wearing a Mac Matte Lipstick - Yash.

Eyebrows:

Although I've posted about Benefit Brow Zings, I decided to use something different. I've used Benefit Gimme Brow - Light. This has a wand that you use to comb over your eyebrows, filling them in in the process.

Eyes:

Today I'm wearing all black so I thought why not finish off the grunge look with a dark smokey eye. I'm wearing a combination of shadows from my Urban Decay Naked and Naked 3 palletes. To start I used Strange from the Naked 3 pallete as a base. I then ran Buck from the Naked pallete through my crease and outer corners. I finished it off by adding Darkhorse from the Naked pallete to my outer corners. I completed the look by using Benefit's Magic Ink eyeliner and Benefit They're Real mascara.
