Cinderella Makeup Look

Hey Guys!
Following the release of the new Cinderella film and the MAC collection I thought I'd do a Cinderella makeup tutorial! I'll be explaining more the products I used other than the techniques so I hope you enjoy!

So starting with the face... I used Kiko Perfect Base Corrector for primer to make my foundation application easier to apply. I then used my ever trusting L'oreal True Match foundation in the shade Rose Beige all over the face. I moved onto the eyes and used my MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre. I then went over this with my MAC Paint Pot in Chrome Angel as this made the perfect silver glitter base I wanted. 

For shadows I used MAC Cork in my crease a Morphe Brushes shadow in the shade 29 on the lid. I then went over the lid with Kiko Colour Sphere - 34 which is incredibly glittery so be careful with this product! I then lined my top lash line with Soap and Glory - Supercat and lined my water line in a white eyeliner. I smoked out my lower lash line slightly with Cork. 

Moving back onto the face, I used my MAC Pro Longwear Concealer - NW20 under my eyes and slightly down my nose, on my chin and around my nose. I then went in with Benefit Hoola Bronzer for a light bronzed contour. I used MAC Desert Rose Blush and then blended these two out together. On top of this I used a light dusting of MAC Soft and Gentle Mineralize Skinfinish above my cheekbones as a highlight. 

 I then slightly filled in my brows with the Sleek Brow Kit in Dark and then finished of my face with MAC Studio Careblend Pressed Powder- Medium. Moving back onto the eyes, I used Benefit They're Real Mascara on my top lashes and used Maybelline Great Lash on my lower lashes. 

I lined my lips with MAC In Anticipation Lip Liner and went over this with MAC Royal Ball Lipstick from the recent Cinderella collection. I added a bit of Gerard Cosmetics Butter Cream Gloss in the centre of my lips and then set everything with my Kiko Face Makeup Fixer and the look was complete!

A really simple girly look which can be recreated with so many products. What look do you think I should do next? I want to start using more drugstore products so will do a complete drugstore tutorial soon. Hope you enjoyed!

Mini Haul - Superdrug

Hey Guys!
I posted a picture on my instagram (@lasheslinerlove) on Monday of a little super drug haul! I wasn't even planning on going but ran in when it was 5 minutes from closing which probably stopped me from buying more! The majority of the products are lip products, all but one! So here's what I got....

Max Factor Colour Elixir Lipstick - Firefly 755

This was a random purchase for me as I honestly don't think I've ever purchased from Max Factor before. I was looking for the perfect lipstick to pair with my MAC Whirl Lipliner to get that desired Kylie Jenner lip colour and this took my eye. It's a mauve shade with a satin texture and when I tried it at home it does work perfectly with Whirl! I also love the gold packaging as I have it displayed in a lipstick stand so it looks very pretty!

MUA Matte Lipstick - Pouty Pink

Matte lipsticks are my favourite formula for lipsticks so when I saw these were only £1 I had to grab one and this shade was the only one left in my store. The colour swatches a lot brighter than the pink on the packaging but it does seem like great quality for the price! This will be perfect for the transition in to spring!

MUA Blusher - Cupcake

Another MUA product that I picked up for £1! I really want to try experimenting with different blushes as I always stick to the same ones so I only own a few. I'm yet to try this but the colour looks very natural and how wrong can you go when a products only £1? 

MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquer - Serene 

Can you tell I was on a bit of an MUA hype? I'm loving the liquid lipstick trend at the moment and this looked promising. Again I'm yet to try this but the packaging is so cute with a frosted finish around the tube and the actual product itself is a pretty baby pink shade. This was only £3 which again is a great price for the product, especially if you're on a budget so I'm excited to try this!

L'oreal Color Riche Lipstick Intense Blondes - Cassis Passion 376

L'oreal for me has always been a strong drugstore brand however I used their face products and have never tried a lipstick from them. This colour stood out as it's a warm deep red, almost a berry red and swatches SO creamy. I love the gold L'oreal packaging and after this purchase will definitely be picking up some more in this range. 

Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm - Elusive 205

I picked this up as I knew I already loved this line as I have another shade from it. For a matte lip product its very moisturising; which is where the balm comes into action so it feels more velvety yet looks matte. The shade is a baby pink and the product itself is very thick and opaque. I find that these matte balms tend to stay on for a good few hours which is great for a drugstore product.

So that's all I picked up! What are you currently loving from the drugstore? Clearly i'm loving pinks! Let me know if there's anything you think I should checkout.

Makeup of the day: Night Out

Hey Guys!

On Monday night I went to a club in Bournemouth where Callum Best was hosting his Birthday party. I ended up not even meeting him but took pictures of my makeup when I was getting ready! I've been trying to use things in my collection that I never reach for so here's what I used....

For a primer I used my travel sized MAC Strobe Cream which gives an amazing dewy glow to the skin through your foundation. I also used some Maybelline Baby Lips to moisturise my lips while I do the rest of my makeup. I've been loving L'oreal True Match at the moment so used this for my foundation. I then primed my eyes with MAC Paint pot in Soft Ochre. This is where I wanted to use some products that I hardly ever use... I put down my MAC Palette and picked up my MUA Undress Me Too Palette. I used the shade Lavish (5th from the left on the top row) mixed with Benefit Hoola in my crease for more definition. I then darkened up the outer v with Obsessed (5th from the left on the bottom row). For the lid I used MAC Lily-White Pigment from their A Fantasy of Flowers collection. I love the colour of this but for some reason have hardly ever used it before! 

For eyeliner, I used my ever trusty L'oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim - Intense Black on the top as it's so easy to draw on your liner as close to your lash line as possible. For my lower water line I used MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil - Engraved and it stayed on all night! Moving back onto my face, for concealer I used my Maybelline Instant Anti-Age The Eraser Eye - Light and then to bronze, used Benefit Hoola again! I used my MAC Powder Blush in Desert Rose and then blended it in along with my bronzer. For eyebrows, I used my Sleek MakeUp Brow Kit - Dark and just used the powder. To finish off my face I used MAC Studio Careblend Pressed Powder - Medium and then used MAC Fix+ all over the face to add to the dewy finish. 

For lashes I used Benefit They're Real on top and then Maybelline Great Lash Mascara on my bottom lashes. I then lined my lips with MAC Whirl Lipliner and then filled in my lips with Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm - Elusive which I had just bought that day and really loved. And that completes the look! I know it wasn't very intense reviews on everything but was more for the products!

What's your go-to look for a night out? Or do you normally experiment with new things?

January Favourites

Hey Guys!
Being the start of February, naturally it made sense to do my January favourites! So here's what I've been loving throughout the month of January... 

1. Urban Decay Vice Palette 3
I visited Urban Decay late last year with no intentions of buying this palette but as soon as I swatched it, I knew I literally needed it. I haven't put it down since I bought it and have used it for every make-up look I've done when using eyeshadow. 

It has a great mix of mattes and shimmers and is a warm palette with plenty of neutrals. The only downside for me is the packaging. I'm personally not a fan of the green and silver colour scheme and the material makes it impossible for the palette not to get covered in fingerprints, however I LOVE the slimline case it comes in which also fits my iPad mini perfectly! I will be doing a full swatch and review post on the Vice Palette 3. 

2. L'oréal Super Liner Perfect Slim - Intense Black 
This liner has saved my life. I always struggled with liquid liner but the thin pen shaped tip on this liner makes it so easy to get a straight flowing line. It rarely smudges and lasts for hours, is incredibly black and doesn't crack or flake, what more could you want! 

3. No.7 Precision Lips Pencil - Fire
I purchased this product about 4 months ago however just put it with the rest of my makeup and completely forgot about it. Recently I've been trying to get more into drugstore makeup seeing as I'm a student now and on a tight budget, so I pulled this out of my collection! I always wear a lipliner under any lipstick I wear but especially with red. This liner is honestly amazing, its the perfect bright red which can be darkened or lightened depending on the lipstick used but once that lipstick has come off, this liner also maintains as a base no matter what you're eating or drinking that day! Definitely want to try more from this range. 

4. Milani Baked Blush - Luminoso 
I got this blush last year on holiday in St Lucia as they don't sell Milani in England and i'd heard great things about the brand. I've never really been a blush person as I'd usually just reach for a bronzer but this blush leaves such a nice, natural glow that it's hard to put down. Retailing at $8.49 (Around £5.64) it really is great value for money and is a great dupe for Nars Orgasm blush however it has slightly more peach undertones. 

5. Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wearing Lipstick - Melted Nude
I picked this up last year in Sephora in Paris as it was the first time i'd seen them in person so I thought i'd get one to try out. It wasn't until the new colours were released recently that I got into this lipstick as I seem to forget I buy a lot of things! The shade is a perfect browny nude and the smell is incredible, it really is long wearing and is perfect with just a nude lipliner underneath. I'm dying to get my hands on some of the new colours, especially velvet!

6. Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette
This palette is the perfect neutrals shade and is what it says on the tin; the basics. I find that when i'm travelling this is the perfect palette to take to rock a neutral eye or a smokey eye and the palette is so slim and pocket sized. 

The shadows are very pigmented, especially the black but my favourite shade has to be naked 2! A definite must for your collection. 

7. Maybelline Instant Anti-Age The Eraser Eye - Light
And finally the infamous Maybelline concealer! This seems to be the holy grail drugstore concealer as it doesn't crease or flake and is so affordable. I love the application as the sponge tip makes it so easy to apply particularly under the eyes. I think they could provide a few more shades but for a drugstore brand this product is incredible!

So that's all of my favourites for January! What were you loving last month?

1950s Makeup Look

One of the most recent looks we had to do on my course for Makeup for Film, TV and Theatre was a traditional simple 1950s look. We looked at notable famous figures from the 50s like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn and looked at their makeup.

They had a paler complexion, using only a sheer foundation, concealer on blemishes and dark patches, blush, elongated brows with a high arch, a neutral simple eye, powder for a matte finish, a red or darker pink lip, mascara and of course, liquid eyeliner. 

Here's what I came up with on Becky my model.......

The makeup seems very simple and matte however I'm only used to applying makeup to myself, which is why I'm taking this course as you can probably tell by the liquid eyeliner! I found this the hardest part to get the eyes matching and also getting it as close to the eye as possible was difficult when working on an eye shape I wasn't used to.

The eyebrows we obviously had to work with what we had but using a dark eyeshadow made it a lot easier to follow the shape. I also found it so hard not to contour or bronze my model as I'm so used to this and think it completes a look!

I honestly enjoyed this style of makeup as it was very simple for a starting look, next week is 1960s! What's your favourite era for makeup?

December/January buys and presents

Hi Guys!
Hope you're all having a good week, as I was doing my makeup this morning I realised how many of the products I was using were new to my collection. As the Christmas period came and went, January sales were short after and therefore I seem to have gathered quite a few products! So lets get into them....

Benefit They're Real Kit

One present I got this Christmas was the Benefit They're Real kit. The kit contains They're Real mascara, They're Real push-up liner, and They're Real remover. The 3 products came in a little Benefit bag and were the perfect stocking filler. I already had a sampler size of the mascara and new I wanted a full size one and also really wanted to try the liner - the remover was just a bonus! As I said I had already tried the mascara which I think could be my favourite mascara ever when it comes to volume and thickness, the liner however was a disappointment. I really wanted to join the hype and absolutely love this liner however I just found it too hard to apply even though when it is on it doesn't budge and is the perfect matte black. I think this is one of those products I will have to grow to love with a lot of practise!

MAC Studio Careblend Pressed Powder & MAC 129 Powder/Blush Brush

I was in desperate need of a new face powder and had heard great reviews about this one from MAC. I got mine in the shade medium and it is the perfect match. It is long-wearing and doesn't become cakey on the skin which will be especially perfect come summer time. You only need the tiniest bit of product to cover the whole face which is also a plus. With the powder I also got a MAC Powder brush in 129, this does the job perfectly and I find it much easier to use than the powder puff the powder came with.

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush

I've always used Real Techniques when it comes to foundation as I've found they're very affordable and do the job well however I normally used the Miracle Complexion Sponge. When I went to my local Boots to pick up a new one (mine is now well used and practically ruined!) they didn't have any in store so I went for the Expert Face Brush instead. I use this brush with a spray of MAC Fix+ on it and have honestly noticed a difference in my foundation, I now love this brush as it provides complete coverage and doesn't allow for streaky lines. 

MAC Blue Flame and Chrome Angel

During December I managed to go to a makeup outlet in Liverpool. They had lots of discontinued and limited edition MAC, Estee Lauder, Smashbox etc and I managed to pick up these two items for a discounted price. The first is Blue Flame Mineralize Eye Shadow which comes out as a dark blue with royal blue reflex of glitter throughout. I love this eyeshadow it was perfect for December nights out! The second product is Chrome Angel Pro Longwear Paint Pot which I am yet to use. The product; like all MAC Paint Pots is incredibly creamy and the colour is a very true silver, I will have to play around with this and see how it goes!

Collection Colourlash All Day Wear Colour Mascara - 1 Clear

I was looking for a simple clear mascara to use to set my brows as the one I had been previously using (Eyebrow Fix by H&M) had gone gunky and wasn't doing it's job so I picked up this one for just £1.99 which was a steal. This product does exactly what I want it to do and for the price is perfect. 

L'oreal Skin Perfection Advanced Correcting Serum

This was a repurchase for me as i'd used this product in the summer and absolutely loved it but never got round to repurchasing it. I use about two pumps a night and it covers my whole face with a noticeable smoother difference almost immediately. A product I will always repurchase! 

MAC Keepsakes Eye Bag - Smokey

This may be my favourite product in this whole post just because of the cutest glittery bag the products come in. But despite the bag, the actual products you get is the Zoom Lash Mascara in Black Extreme, Engraved Powerpoint Eye Pencil and a Extra Dimension Eyeshadow Duo in Treasure me/Tall, Dark and Handsome. The mascara is probably my favourite MAC mascara I've tried in terms of length and the liner is incredibly precise as I have Smoulder by MAC which is very similar however not waterproof like Engraved, which for me is very important in an eyeliner. The duo I am yet to try however swatched they are incredibly pigmented.

That's all my products for now! What did you get over the last few months that you've been loving? See you in the next one!
