Evenin'

I went back to work today after a lovely long break for the Christmas holidays. I did not want to get out of bed this morning, no way. But some how I did, after snoozing my alarm for 20 minutes.

Thanks to snoozing the alarm I went to work with minimal makeup.

So first thing I did when I got home, after fussing Henry and eating pizza, was apply some makeup, mainly because my new No7 2014 Illuminated Make-up Mirror arrived today :).

Here is how I created this "my every day when I do not have to get up at 7am" look.

♥I took off my day long eye makeup using my garnier micellar water.

♥ Applied my Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation in the colour vanilla. I like this foundation because it gives a good coverage with a thin coat, and leaves a lovely matte effect, but shines in the light like a natural glow, without looking oily. I am naturally quite pale so this foundation is a tad too dark for me, it's mainly for when I have a tan but with a jumper I can pull it off as you cannot see the rest of my skin. I used my Zoeva 102 silk finish to apply this, sometimes I use my Real Techniques beauty blender.

♥In doing this I created the ever so fashionable foundation lips, so I quickly cleared that up with my Lush bubblegum lip scrub, and then applied my Bodyshop lip butter, in I think, peach.

♥Then, I moved onto my eyes. For the eye shadow I used my Bourjois Smoky Eyes Eye Shadow Trio £7.99 in the colour 03 Mordoré Chic. I took the lightest shade all over my lid to my eyebrow, the medium shade on just my lid, and brought it down into the corner of my eye, and then I blended the darkest colour into my crease, and brought it down onto the lower lash line to create a smokey brown effect. Sound quick and easy? Meh, not quite.
