Casual Makeup Look/Makeup Product Review
Hey there,
For my first proper blog post, I'm going to do a Casual Makeup Look and also a review of the products that I use. This is a very easy look to do and is perfect for daytime outings and those days you want to add a little little shimmer to your everyday makeup. Every product (apart from one) can be found in high street drugstores, all at a very reasonable price.
So lets go :)
First of all I used the Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation in the shade No. 51. I recently picked up this foundation as my Rimmel Match Perfection foundation had ran out and I wanted to try something new. When choosing this foundation in the store, I found that the tester was an incredibly good match with my skin colour. However, now having used the product a few times, I find that when applying it, it makes my skin look very orange if applied with a makeup brush. I also find that it takes quite a lot of product to cover my face and neck. However, it does last for most of the day, although maybe not 16 hours as stated on the bottle.

After this I set my foundation with the Rimmel Stay Matte powder in the shade Warm Beige. I love this powder and have been using it for many years. I find that it is incredibly good for setting foundation and evening out any patches of skin that may not have been covered by foundation.

For the next part of this look, I used the MUA Bronze and Sculpt Contour Kit in the shade Light/Medium. For this look, I mainly used the highlighter from this kit. I really like this highlight and find that you do not need to use a lot of product for a long lasting finish

Next, I moved onto brows. I picked up this Revolution Ultra Brow Palette in the shade Medium to Dark recently and I have been loving it ever since. This palette includes 4 eyebrow powders, 2 tinted eyebrow waxes, brow enhancing cream and highlighter, a brow pencil, 2 applicators and tweezers, all for under £10!!! For this look, I used the top left brow powder as seen in the picture, as well as the enhancing cream and highlight. This product is very long lasting and does not need a lot of product to have brows looking completely filled in.

After this, I moved on to eyeshadow. As this is a daytime look, I did a light eyeshadow. First I used the white base shadow shown at the bottom of the picture above. I am not sure of the make of this eyeshadow, but it is very good for providing a subtle base. Next I used the Urban Decay, Alice Through The Looking Glass eyeshadow palette. I received this palette as a birthday present last year and I strongly recommend it. It offers a wide range of pigmented colours, including both daytime and nighttime colours. For this look, I first used the shade Duchess to cover the outer part of my eye and then I applied the shade Salazan Grum to the outer corner of my eye and then I blended them together.

To finish my eyes, I used the Rimmel Volume Colourist mascara in the shade 003 Extreme Black. I would highly recommend this mascara as it is easily adaptable to whatever makeup look your are doing and makes your lashes look long and spread out, with no clumps.

Lastly for this look, I used the Collection, Deluxe Lipstick in the shade Charleston 03. I picked this lipstick up a while back as a replacement for another lipstick that had ran out. This lipstick is perfect for adding colour to your makeup if you have kept everything else quite subtle as it is a deep pink shade. I would recommend it as it would suit many different makeup styles and it is a long lasting product.

This is the makeup look once completed. As you can see, it is a very simple drugstore look and does not require much time to do, leaving it very easy to do for an everyday look and at a very affordable price.
Thank you for reading, hope you find the reviews helpful :)

Next, I used the MUA Cover and Conceal concealer in the shade Fair to conceal any spots or dark patches on my skin. I have recently started to like MUA products as they are an affordable alternative to many higher end products. However, with that being said, I find that it takes a lot of concealer to cover an area and a lot of product gets wiped off in blending.
