spring makeup

happy friday!! today's post is going to be all about my favourite spring makeup products, enjoy <3


skincare : before i start applying any makeup i always start with a bit of skincare to prep my skin. i use the garnier micellar to cleanse my skin and then moisturise with the oilatum moistursiser. finally i just put a little bit of the simple eye roller under my eyes do make me feel more awake.

base : first of all i prime my face with the porefessional by benefit. then i put some high beam highlighter from benefit under my eyes to brighten. to cover my dark circles i use the rimmel wake me up concealer and i also use this on any blemishes and around my nose.


next i dust some of the stay matte translusent powder by rimmel all over my face to set my previous makeup. then i put a bit of the maybelline dream pure bb cream and blend it in with my fingers to give it more of a natural look. after that then i put some more of the powder all over my face to set my bb cream.


face : first of all i apply some bronzer on my cheeks, jaw line and temples and i blend that out with a big fluffy brush. sometimes i go in again with a bit more as i only out a tiny bit on as its quite hard to blend. if you were wondering which bronzer i used it's the w7 honolulu bronzer which is available from amazon, b&m or tk max. next i go in with a bit of the max factor creme puff blush on the apples of my cheeks, which gives a lovely natural flush. finally i put some of the benefit high beam on the top of my cheek bones, under my brow bone and on my cupids bow. recently i have really been loving highlight, i find it makes you look so much healthier. definitley a step i wont be missing out this spring/summer!

eyes + lips : for eyeshadow i tent to stick to pinky/gold shadows since its spring. i used the makeup revolution essential shimmers palette and the benefit pump up the party gift set. before i put any eyeshadow on i prime my eyes using some concealer and i just put a little bit of powder on, now for the fun bit! i pop a bit of the champagne colour all over my lid (second from the bottom left on makeup revolution palette) then i take a mixture of the peachy colour with the light brown (the two middle colours in the benefit quad) just in my crease to give a bit of definition but not anything smokey. to finish off i add a mixture of the bottom two white colours on both palletes in the inner corner to highlight and the inner third of the eye. 

to finish off the eye look, i curl my lashes and then apply some of this superdry mascara. finally to complete the spring makeup look, i put on the mua sweet sheen lip balm in peach dream.
