I learnt how to apply my makeup by watching endless amounts of makeup tutorials on youtube and I thought that it would be handy to have a list of my favourite beauty gurus to share with you, so you can watch them as well and learn a few tips from them!

The list is in alphabetical order 


I hope you will subscribe to them as they are wonderful youtubers!

Current Favourite Beauty Products

Hello Everyone!

These holidays I have been loving some products and I would love to share my opinion on them with you.

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer 


In the shade Vanilla and Custard 

This concealer is absolutely amazing. It provides me a with a really good coverage to cover up any blemishes or dark circles underneath my eyes. This product also doesn't break me out unlike the MAC prolong wear concealer. The consistency of this concealer is not watery but  has a creamy consistency as mentioned in the name of the product. As you can tell in the picture I have two concealers. One of them is in the shade "Vanilla" to highlight my face and to cover up my under eye area, and the other shade is in "Custard" which is my skin colour, used to cover up any blemishes or imperfections on my face. Recently I haven't been wearing any foundation in my makeup routine , as the concealer gives me a flawless coverage. I would highly recommend this product , it is definitely worth the price. 

This product can be found in Mecca for $35

Benefit Gimme Brow


In the shade medium/deep

I have been using this product a lot recently as it is really quick and easy. It adds fibres to your brows making it seem like you have more brow hairs. I am usually reluctant to use some brow products as I am weary that they would make my brows way too dark  ( because we have all seen someone with overdrawn heavy brows) , as I already have dark brow hairs. But this product makes my brows look naturally full whilst giving it some shape. It also acts as a brow gel which keeps your brows in place all day , it doesn't leave a crusty feeling when you apply it to your brows unlike clear mascaras.  

This product can be found at Myer for $32

Maybelline The Rocket Volume Express 




This has been my go to mascara this month since my Maybelline The Falsies mascara ran out. It separates my lashes whilst giving them volume and a bit of length. The bristles on the wand a very short and pointy which was a downside for me as when I accidentally poked my eye with this mascara it felt like it was stabbing me! That is something to be weary about this product, but in general it is a really good mascara which separates my eyelashes and gives them a lot of volume. 

This product is not out for sale in Australia ( I got it from Japan)

I hope you enjoyed this blog post about my current favourites!

Everyday Makeup Routine

Hello!

So this post is going to be about my everyday makeup routine. I don't wear makeup everyday as my school does not allow it but I wear it on the weekends when I go out.

Step 1 

So first I have to prep my skin for foundation as I have oily skin otherwise my makeup will literally slip off during the day.

I use MAC Prep + Prime Skin Base Visage as a primer which provides me with a silky and smooth base for my foundation. I apply this to my face with my clean hands.




Step 2.

Depending on how my skin is on a particular day I would either choose my MAC Studio Fix Fluid in the shade NC20 for more of a full coverage face or I would go for the not as full coverage option which is my Benefit Big Easy Bigger Than BB foundation in the shade 02 Light.

I use my xobeauty flat top Synthetic Face Brush to Buff all my foundation in. I absolutely love this brush as it blends my foundation in seamlessly.


Step 3.

I have really dark under eye circles ( mainly because I've been staying up too late whoops!) so I use one of my favourite under eye concealers which is the Maybelline instant age rewind concealer. I usually blend this in with the tip of my beauty blender which gives it the best result but if I am too lazy I would just use my ring finger instead.





Step 4.

To set the base I use my Sephora matte powder foundation in the shade 23 , clair light which I blend it with a Real Techniques powder brush.




Step 5.

To contour my face and to make it appear slimmer I use my Nars Bronzer in Laguna which I mainly focus it on my cheek bones which I apply it with my Real Techniques contour brush.




Step 6.

To bring some more colour back into my face I use my coralista to give myself a flushed appearance with the xobeauty angled blush brush.




Step 7.

To add a glow to my face I use my Benefit girl meets pearl which I absolutely love!
I dab a bit of this onto my finger and apply it to the tops of my cheek bone and cupids bow.



Step 8.

I apply my Urban Decay primer potion to my eyelid and then usually for eye shadow I choose one base shade and a inner corner shade which is from my MAC palette , I apply this with my MAC 239 and 217 brush.






Step 9. 

As my eyelashes are not curly I use my Shu Uemura eye lash curler to curl my lashes,
then I apply Maybelline the falsies flared mascara.



Step 10.

For my brows sometimes I would fill it in with this japanese eye brow powder/pencil and set it with a random clear mascara.




I know this is a lot of makeup for an everyday look but I only wear makeup on the weekends so I usually go all out.

I hope you enjoyed it!
