Natural Makeup
Hello Lovelies
Today I thought I'd share with you a natural makeup look. Sometimes less is more and so this kind of makeup look is perfect to wear any day of the week.
Foundation: Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation. This is probably my most favourite foundation ever! It feels so light, gives the most amazing coverage, literally glows and stays put forever. Which is an amazing bonus when you live in super hot and humid Florida!
Concealer: Maybelline Cover Stick and the Bourjois Healthy Mix concealer for under the eyes
Eyes: I used the Naked Smoky Palette, but obviously didn't smoke it up! I used the natural shades, which included the shade Combust in the crease, and I applied Thirteen and High all over the eyes.
Eye liner: I just used the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Mad Max Brown. Literally such an easy liner to use.
Bronzer: Hourglass Ambient Bronzer in Luminous Bronze Light
Blush: A really natural peachy nude blush which is the Becca Mineral blush in the shade Wild Honey. Definitely one of the most natural blushes I own!
Highlighter: Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop. The obsession with this highlighter is real! It's incredible!
Mascara: One coat of the Maybelline Lash Sensational and one coat of the Tom Ford Extreme Mascara in Raven
Lipstick: Charlotte Tilbury Sexy Sienna. A super natural matte shade perfect for day and night!
This is a super quick and easy look which I love to just wear on an every day basis. It's easy to adapt and I find that the products used work really well together!

Hello Lovelies!
I hope you've had a good weekend! Today I wanted to do something a bit different, I thought I'd start testing out some different celebrity makeup looks. So I hope that you enjoy them and that you like them too!
Today I chose a natural makeup look inspired by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. This look is more of a dewy/healthy look with soft gold/pink eyes and nude lips.
For this look I've used a mixture of high end and drugstore products so if you are inspired to try it out, it's a bit easier to! But I'm also going to try my very best to suggest a good dupe/cheaper product if I use a high end one, that'll work as equally well.
The Products
Foundation: MAC Mineralize Moisture Foundation OR L'oreal True Match Foundation (really good similar finish!)
Concealer: KIKO Skin Evolution Concealer
Eyes: Urban Decay Naked Palette + Charlotte Tilbury Champagne Diamonds eyeshadow stick. KIKO sell lots of these sticks so a possible one is golden beige.
Contour: Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow. Sorry can't think of a specific dupe here, if you have one please let me know!
Mascara: Both Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde mascara and KIKO Lengthening Top Coat Mascara
Lipstick: MAC Blankety
Blush: The new Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette, particular shade Champagne Rose. ELF have some great baked blushes which can replicate the look.
The Steps
1. Rosie has a dewy/glowy finish, so I felt that this particular MAC mineralize moisture foundation was good. I have many foundations which can create a dewy look, the L'oreal true match foundation is an amazing drugstore foundation to achieve this!
2. Next I applied the concealer in the areas which I needed it, so my panda eyes, around my nose and my chin. I highly recommend this concealer, it's definitely a concealer which I am so impressed with. Great coverage and great value!
3. For my eyebrows I used the Anastasia brow wiz, my brows have quite an arched shape, but Rosie's are pretty straight, so I used the spooly to brush the first part of my eyebrow upwards and then for the second part of my eyebrow I brushed more downwards. I just filled them in slightly as her brows aren't too dominant in this look, so make your eyebrows as subtle as possible.
4. For the eyes I went in with the Naked palette. The shades which I used were: Virgin, Sin, Half Baked, Smog and Toasted. I also applied the eyeshadow crayon in the shade Champagne diamonds to the inner corner of my eyes.
5. I haven't used any eyeliner in this post, as I wanted to achieve a softer look.
6. I used the Filmstar Bronze and Glow to contour and highlight. Contouring my cheekbones and then highlighting down my nose, slightly under my eyes, forehead in T shape and on my cheekbones.
7. I added some blush on the apples of my cheeks.
8. Mascara came from the Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde mascara, I used this for 1 coat to fan out the lashes, then went in with the KIKO mascara to add some more length, especially concentrating on the outer lashes.
9. Lastly I applied a swipe of MAC Blankety, which is a creamy pink/beige nude lipstick. Perfect for this look.
I hope you enjoyed this post, I certainly had fun trying to copy this look! Let me know your thoughts on this look and whether you enjoy these kind of posts?
Happy Monday!
