Life Updates

So the Mini Make Up Tips Monday series is over but I will be delivering more tips along the way.  I thought I would just give you a quick life update.  I am concentrating really hard on my job as I have an exam relating to it next month and I really want to pass!  Last time I did a similar exam I was 2 marks away from passing then couldn't retake.

On the beauty side of things I'm still loving highlighting my cheekbones, brow bone, nose and cuspids bow.  I feel light it sculpts and transforms my face along with carefully placed bronzer.  I am really annoyed with my Anastasia Bevelery Hills Brow Wiz as the brow brush/spoole has snapped off and they want nothing to do with it as I didn't buy it online!  I only use it at weekends and usually keep it in the box, I have now had to cello tape it together so it looks horrid.  Still love the working end though, it's great as it never needs sharpening.

Mini Make Up Tips Monday; The Finishing Touches

So once you have done your base and eyes you need to finish off your make up look.  I usually use a whole range of products to take my make up to the next level.  My top tips include;


  1. Bronzer in a Matt neutral toned shade a few shades darker than your natural skin tone.  This should be swept around the hairline, temples, under the cheekbones, either side of your nose and under your jawline.  This will bring a healthy glow to your complexion and create chiseled features.  But remember to blend well otherwise it you could look like you have a dirty face.
  2. Blusher is something I don't use often but love to switch up my look with.  Just gently sweep your favourite shade on the apple's of your cheeks whilst smiling, this can be shimmery to bring a glow to your cheeks or just a bright pop of colour that say compliments your lipstick.
  3. Highlighter is by far my favourite finishing product as I love to add glitter to my cheekbones, grow bones, bridge of my nose and Cupid's bow.  I fell like this is the thing that makes me really glow and look skinnier in the face.
  4. Most of the time I want my make to last all day so I use a setting spray to set my make up as I don't usually re apply throughout the day.  I just use the MUA one from Superdrug that costs about £5 but worth it.
