I love doing my makeup on weekends because I have time to experiment and try different things rather than the usual mid week rush. Even if I'm not doing anything I will do my makeup, I put this lipstick on and didn't even leave the house! So I thought for this weekends posts I would do 2 face of the days to show you what makeup I have been experimenting with!
Fleur is possibly my favourite person to watch on YouTube and this Face of the Day features 2 of her October Favourites which I purchased on her recommendation and absolutely love.
Face
Estee Lauder Double Wear Light - Genuinely, the best long wearing foundation I have ever tried. This stuff is amazing, it doesn't budge until you take it off at night. I have tried the original Double Wear before and was impressed but I just love this lighter version. I will make sure to do a full review on this.
Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer - You know I love this concealer and guess who else seems to like it....my brother as he keeps pinching it!
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - Another really good, cheap concealer. This has really good coverage so I like to use it on blemishes.
Guerlain Terracotta Moisturising Bronzing Powder in "00 Make Up Artist" - This is a good bronzer for the winter months as its quite light, so just gives your face some subtle warmth.
Kevyn Aucoin The Celestial Powder Candlelight - Full review here
Bourjois Cream Blush in 03 Rose Tender - I reach for this blush when I either have a strong lip or eye and only want some subtle colour on my cheeks.
Eyes
Guerlain Terracotta Moisturising Bronzing Powder in "00 Make Up Artist" - I used my bronzer as an eyeshadow in my crease. As I'm wearing a bright lip colour I wanted to keep my eye make up minimal.
Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Liner in "Nude" - I put this flesh toned colour pencil on my waterline for a bright eyed effect. This kind of colour looks a lot more natural than just a plain white.
MAC Extended Play Lash Mascara - My first Fleur recommendation. I love this mascara, it makes my lashes so much longer but still adds volume. Zero clumping and it lasts all day.
MAC Lingering - For the brows
Illamasqua Brow and Lash Gel - Simply, the best.
Lips
Ellis Faas Creamy Lips in L104 - My second Fleur recommendation, this is such a bright, beautiful lip colour.
When you first apply this it come out quite a dark fuchsia colour, what I like to do is rub it into my lips with my finger to create a lighter stain and then apply another coat on top.
We are rapidly approaching the party season and this would make the perfect lip colour.
At this rate I am going to have to gatecrash some Christmas parties as I have at least 3 lipsticks I want to wear!
You can buy Ellis Faas from Beauty Bay where I bought mine, although this colour is now out of stock, however it is available on Selfridges.
Love it! Such a fun lip color!
ReplyDeleteAnd it really stays on the lips, which is always a plus point!
