Festival Fever Makeup Look #2

Image
↞ Festival Fever ↠  Makeup Look   #2   - So as festival season is well underway, I decided to start a series called 'Festival Fever' where I post a different festival makeup look with a product list every Thursday for the month of July. I love being really creative with different products and playing with colour which is exactly what you need to create a festival look! And just because I'm not going to any festivals this year doesn't mean I can't give ye all some inspo!   - - This weeks look isn't as daring as last weeks but I think I prefer this one as it's more simple but still makes a statement with the bold colours. This look is relatively simple to recreate and you could always switch up the colours to suit your own style and make it your own.  - - Product List Eyes: Primer - Tarte Shape Tape: fair Setting powder - Rimmel Stay Matte: Transparent Brow bone highlight - The Balm: Mary-Loumanizer Transition - Sleek Gar

Don't have a contour brush?  Don't panic! All you'll need is your powder brush and a bobby pin. Pinch the bristles of your powder brush together and secure the shape of it with a bobby pin. And there you have the perfect shape contour brush in an instant! 2. Ran out of loose powder?  A perfect alternative for loose powder is... Baby powder! It works perfectly at locking in your makeup and doesn't flashback. And it's a lot cheaper than buying a high end loose face powder! 3. Sick of ruining your eye makeup while applying mascara? Place a spoon over your eye just on your lash line while applying mascara and it will save your eye makeu

My Top 5 Favourite Foundations

Hey gals, So today I thought I would share with you all my top 5 Favourite Foundations. I have tried and tested my fair share of foundations and I haven't loved them all, so today I decided to narrow it down to my top 5. Just going to tell you all to keep in mind that when I'm not tanned aka have no fake tan on, I am extremely pale like I mean a white foundation would probably match me!! And also, I don't wear makeup everyday (hence the old packaging on some of these foundations) but when I do these are the foundations that I like to use when I'm either tan or pale and they are my holy grails. Hope you all love it, Amy x 1. Inglot YSM This foundation has been my go-to foundation for over two years now and I find that no matter what foundation I try to find to replace this one, I always end up going back to my Inglot YSM. I would say that this foundation has a medium to buildable coverage and I can apply more to the areas where I need that little extr

So anyone that knows me knows I am a YouTube junkie!! I am subscribed to over 150 channels and I would say I spend approximately 21 hours a day on YouTube.

This was not an easy decision but I have narrowed it down to my top 10. 1.   Jaclyn Hill   So unless you have been living under a rock, you will OBVIOUSLY know of Jaclyn Hill.

Review: Fuschia Contour Palette

Image
Hey gals, Today I'm leaving you with this review of the new Fuschia Ireland Creme Contour Palette, hope you all enjoy. • So I recently bought a new foundation/crème contour palette from Fuschia Ireland. It can't be bought online already made as you have to assemble it yourself by buying the palette and then buying the 6 pans separately. I bought the palette in a local pharmacy which was selling it made-up at a discounted rate at the time. There was a lot of hype about this palette on social media so when it was reduced to a third of the price, I couldn't pass it. • First of all, the packaging of the product is very pretty - it has a transparent plastic frame placed inside a pink palette which is covered in flowers which is Fuschia's trademark print. From the outside it looks very aesthetically pleasing. There are 6 different shades of crème contour in the pans but still, there isn't a large range of shade options for use as foundation.
