MAKEUP VS NO MAKEUP

Hey Guys!
So this week I haven't really been feeling that great and so haven't worn much makeup.
I am a huge make up fan as you have probably guessed by some of my other blog posts...however I have been inspired to cut down on the makeup by one of my friends who NEVER really wears any other makeup other than a tiny bit of mascara!

I love letting my skin be natural sometimes and so wearing makeup definitely improves my skin!
Here is a one of picture of me and my friend without makeup on!

So although I have my hair scraped back and my pyjamas on, I don't HATE how I look...I think I definitely look younger (I'm only 18 so looking younger isn't ideal), but I definitely look fresher compared to sometimes how I look!

I think sometimes it's important to learn what suits your face! Bone structures have a massive part to play in this! Some bone structures can't handle too much makeup, I think sometimes when I wear too much I can look slightly draggy so it's all about finding a happy medium between natural and halloween ;)

Love,

Makeup Essentials

Okay...so I have a MASSIVE obsession with makeup, I would be totally lost without it!
Only my very closest friends have seen my face completely bare!

Before applying any makeup in the morning I always use a day cream, it brightens up my face, hydrates my skin and generally wakes me up!!

Chanel - Hydra Beauty Creme
I love this because it makes my skin feel so soft and look radiant  It's a little bit pricey at £50 but I would definitely recommend it as it can last between 6 months - 1 year depending on how much you use!

Another of my essential buys is another Chanel product.
Chanel - Perfection Lumiere
Which is a fluid foundation. My colour is 20 beige and it matches my skin tone perfectly (yay no lines!) It lasts me the entire day and gives a really flawless finish!
Again a little pricey at £36 but definitely worth it!

I love love love big lashes! As well as a mascara i'm a HUGE fan of false eyelashes! They make eyes look bigger and help them to pop which is essential on a night out!
I normally just apply a quick layer of Maybelline Collosal Volume and then apply lashes!
I wore Eyelure Naturalites Double False Eyelashes 202 on my birthday and got loads of compliments!

My final and absolutely essential beauty buy (and probably my favourite!) is lipstick!
Below are a few pictures of myself sporting some of my favourite lip colours!

Please excuse the silly faces! 99% of the lipsticks I use are Maybelline because they're a great price and they haves such a wide range of colours to choose from!
Some of my favourite shades are 'Pleasure me Red' 'Rosewood Pearl' and 'Pink Punch'.
