My Everyday Makeup

I've just finished putting my makeup on and thought why not make a post out of it! I try to change my makeup and use different eyeshadows for the weekends and nights out but my day to day makeup for work is always the same. I tend to wear: 

Mac Studio Sculpt Foundation or Mac Face and Body Foundation on a Real Techniques Buffing Brush

Mac Studio Finish Concealer under my eyes and on a few blemishes using a Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush

Mac Mineralise Powder and Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

Bourjois Poudre Bronzante and Daniel Sandler Watercolour Blush or Nars Orgasm Blush

Mac Charcoal Brown eyeshadow on a Mac 266 brush to fill in my eyebrows

Smashbox eyelid primer

Mac Naked Lunch all over my eyelids, Wedge in the crease, Mystery as an eyeliner, Vanilla under my brows as a highlight. I use a Real Techniques Base Shadow Brush

L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes mascara 

Mac Lovelorn Lipstick. 

Phew that's a lot of Mac! 

Here's a photo so you get the idea of what it looks like, pretty boring and basic though! 

Excuse my awful hair, I had it curly the night before this photo was taken and I hadn't yet done anything to make it look half decent!

L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara

I've just purchased this mascara after finishing a different L'Oreal one. I admit I'm a little clueless as to which mascaras are good and which aren't as I had eyelash extensions on for 4 years. I tend to ignore mascara adverts as I still think I've got my lashes on (until I look in the mirror, sad that my long lashes are gone!) so I had to enlist the help of my boyfriends sister. She recommended a few mascaras so off I plodded to Boots to have a look and decided on this one. 

What I had forgotten was how expensive mascaras are! This mascara cost me £10.99 in Boots which I think is the average price.  I know you're thinking I must have spent a small fortune getting my lash extensions refilled every 2 weeks but I didn't actually pay to have them done. My friend and I are both beauty therapists so just swapped treatments instead of paying each other, which was great! 

As you can see from the photos there is a difference in the length and thickness of my lashes so I am very happy with this mascara. The wand also doesn't get overloaded with product so it is quick and easy to build my lashes up and also works well for my bottom lashes. I find some mascaras smudge towards the end of the day but this one hasn't done so I'm very pleased and will definitely repurchase!
