Everyday make up - FOTD

 Hello everyone! Before I start this post I would just like to say that I do not class myself as any kind of make up 'expert' I usually go for the "slap it on and hope for the best" technique, sometimes that works out well and this obviously needs to be documented, today was one of those days. So here are the products I use on a daily basis....

Face: To start off my base make up I use 'POREfessional' by benefit around my nose (small sidenote - I've been using this little free sample since may and it isn't even half empty yet, I can only presume that the full size version is more than worth the money), I usually let this settle in for a few minutes whilst I get dressed (or get back into bed). I then use Rimmel Match Perfection, applied with a Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. Next I put a little bit of Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer under my eyes to cover the bags that have occurred from the previous night when I accidentally stayed up too late (happens every time). Finally I will add a little bit of bronzer to contour my face, I use the Sleek Face Form Palette for this and I really like the effect it gives my face, it slims down my chubby cheeks and hopefully minimizes my baby face.

Eyes: I use my Naked Palette and sweep sin over the whole lid, if I've got extra time I will also add hustle or toasted to the crease to give a little bit more definition. For lashes I use They're Real by benefit, as much as I do like this mascara I think it is overly priced and a little clumpy, I don't think I would repurchase it.

Lips: I keep it fairly simple on the lips, usually just using a tinted moistrizer, however I was feeling a little cray today and used a Revlon Lip butter in the shade Peach Parfait, I can never make my mind up wether I actually like this product or not, it has a really nice glossy look but it also has large 'glittery' pieces in it which can make it feel like you've got sand on your lips, very conflicting.

And here is the finished product....
