1 ) Prep your skin:
- Nivea soft moisturiser: Apply any moisturiser you prefer and then wait for 15 minutes before you apply your makeup. This will allow the skin to absorb the moisturiser and will help your foundation to not slide.
- Maybelline instant age rewind primer: This step is so important as it will mattify your skin and will provide a smooth base for your foundation/concealer etc. This is necessary if your T-zone gets oily and will also minimise the sweat production in your T zone.
2) Foundation:
- Benefit hello flawless oxygen wow foundation (Shade - I'm so amber glamber): I apply this all over my face with either a makeup sponge or a buffing brush. On areas where I need more coverage, I add another layer.
3) Eyebrows:
- Anastasia dip brow pomade (Shade - Chocolate): I just fill in the sparse areas and then use my Benefit boing concealer (Shade - 04) and apply it above and below my eyebrow and blend it in.
4) Eyes:
- ChiChi Nudes palette : This is actually a dupe to the Naked 1 palette. I use the shade similar to "Buck" and I apply it all over my eyelid. This is a matte shade and it's color is very similar to my actual skin tone.
- Maybelline gel liner: I use my Maybelline gel liner and do a simple thin winged liner.
- Bobbi Brown Smokey eye mascara: To achieve longer lashes, I use this on both my top and bottom lashes.
5) Concealer:
- Nars radiant creamy concealer (Shade - Caramel): I use this concealer to brighten my horrible dark circles and highlight my under eyes.
6) Powder:
- Benefit hello flawless oxygen powder (Shade - I'm haute for sure amber ) : I just apply this everywhere except to my under eye as I want that area to remain bright.
7) Bronzer:
- Mac Mineralise skin finish (Shade - Give me sun): This gives the most beautiful sun-kissed look. Apply to your cheek bones and temples.
8) Lipstick :
- Mac lipstick (Taupe): To add a bit of colour to the look, I use Mac's taupe. It's a matte pink shade with a brown undertone. It looks gorgeous on everyone.
