Face of the Night #1

I wore this make up out a couple of weeks ago and think it is great for going for dinner or drinks with friends!

The first thing I did was to prep my skin with Nars Oil-Free Primer, which I don't rate very much. When this runs out I think I'm gonna try the Laura Mercier equivalent. I also popped a bit of my Bobbi Brown Corrector in Porcelain Peach on my dark circles. I love this.

 After this I used my Stila Stay All Day foundation is the shade Fair 2. I applied it using my real techniques stippling brush. This foundation is really nice but my skin is so oily it just doesn't 'stay all day' as it claims. The shade is a great match though! It is good for drinks out with friends but not much else for me. I used the Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer in shade 2 to cover any redness, my dark circles and my (many) spots. 

 I filled in my eyebrows using my Rimmel eyebrow pencil in dark brown which I really rate! It's really quick and simple and looks really good. I set them with Urban Decay brow gel, the writing has all worn off and it's not clear any more!! It's been on to-buy list for some time now...

Next onto the eyes, I began with the Nars Eyeshadow Primer, which is fabulous! Then using a Mac 217 I sweeped Mac Nylon (a shimmery white) eyeshadow all over my lid, then lightly worked a bit of Satin Taupe  

(shimmery greige) into the outer corner, quite lightly as I wanted the eyes to be quite simple. I used L'oreal Super Liner in Black Vinyl to line the upper lashline and winged it out into a flick. I then lined the upper and lower water lines with the Rimmel Scadeleyes Waterproof Eyeliner in Black. These are AMAZING! I have the nude one as well and they stay put on the water line a really long time! I curled my lashes using my Models Own Eyelash Curlers which are incredible and really, really cheap! I used Maybelline 'The Falsies' mascara in Extreme Black on my upper lashes and my Clinique Bottom Lash mascara on the bottom ones. Both of these mascaras are incredible and I can't recommend them enough!

Next I went back to finish the skin. I powdered the foundation using Mac Studio fix in NW15 which is a tad light but as I used Nars Lugana Bronzer to warm up my face and contour my cheekbones it wasn't an issue. Both these products are amazing - I can't believe I hit pan on the bronzer already! I used Nars Orgasm blush on my cheeks and Mac Mineralise Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle down the centre of my nose to slim it down and a little bit in the inner corner of my eyes.I didn't put it on my cheeks as the blush is already really shimmery.

I used my Rose&Co Strawberry Crush lip balm on my lips, which I have had for ages and is still going strong! I finished the look off with a Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in shade 320 Funtime Fuchsia.

If you managed to read all of that post WELL DONE! It's taken me ages to write but I have quite enjoyed it!
