A face of the day isn't something I usually post but this month is all about diversifying my posts a little so I thought why not? Throughout Spring I rekindled my love with eyeliner & I just wouldn't leave the house without it and a full coverage face but since we've been having summery days the eyeliners long gone and I've been reaching for a different couple of products that I thought I'd share.
For base I've been using my trusted Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation in the shade '100 Ivory' and although its one of my heavier bases I've been holding back and using it sparingly. This paired with my Collection concealer, well my base is good to go. I'm also not the biggest fan of full, dark, unnatural looking eyebrows - theres nothing worse but I've been using the Maybelline brow drama (something I hated at first) and then a cheap and cheerful and I think the darkest eyeshadow from my MUA heaven and earth palette to define the arch a little and together they provide a natural looking brow #success
Eye wise, as I said I have love/hate phases with eyeliner and even eyeshadow, sometimes I just like the effect of a good mascara on its own but recently I've been using a light taupe-y shade from my MUA palette all over the lid just to add a little bit of colour and then my L'Oreal Miss Manga mascara on the top and bottom lashes. This was something I'd completely forgotten about until late and I really love the length/volume it gives. I then applied another layer of mascara using the Rimmel Scandal Eyes mascara to add that extra something.
Powder wise, I've been using my Stay Matte powder across my oilier t-zone, lightly contouring my cheeks using my Sleek Face Form Palette in 'light' and the rose gold blush included in the trio to help brighten up the apples of my cheeks. And then finally, finishing off with a light dusting of MAC's mineralize skin finish in Soft & Gentle, my new favourite thing!
For my lips I've been reaching for the Kate Moss lipstick in shade '03' a really lovely nude, normally I'm all for a bright lip to brighten everything up but lately I've just really been loving the bronzed and nude look. What way do you prefer doing your makeup/lips through the summer, bold or nude?
