Putting my makeup on is something I really enjoy doing. I know there are some people (my boyfriend included) who think wearing makeup everyday is unnecessary and I do agree to a certain extent. Personally my reason for wearing makeup is not because I’m incredibly vain and don’t want to be seen with a bare face. I enjoy the process of it, I even look forward to putting my makeup on every morning so I can play around with my products, I don’t see it as a chore. Besides, I do think we are entitled to do whatever we want to make us feel good and confident about ourselves. I’m not sure about you but I feel more tired and not so awake when I don’t have any makeups on. Having said that, I don’t wear heavy makeup at all and most days I just put some makeup on to make myself feel abit more awake and abit more equipped and ready to face the world.

Anyway so I thought I would do a weekly thing where I blog about what I’ve been wearing on my face and what products I’ve been using and loving;

This Week:

Base –> BareMinerals Complexion Rescue and MAC Studio Fix in NC 30. Still loving this combo. BM Complexion Rescue leaves skin feel hydrated, brightened and dewey, while a light dusting of MAC Studio Fix gives that little bit of extra coverage.

Eyebrow –> Bobbi Brown eyeshadow in Sable and MAC 166 angle brush. On days that I just want very natural looking brows. BB Sable eyeshadow is a perfect warm tone brown shade for me and MAC 166 angle brush is very thin and precise for making light feathering strokes.

Eyeshadows –> MAC All that Glitters all over the lid and MAC Cork to define the crease.

Eyeliner –> Kat Von D Tattoo Liner. This is hands down the best eyeliner EVER. I was put off from using eyeliner for a good few years because I just couldn’t get the hang of drawing a perfect line and perfect flick. This has totally got me back to enjoying using eyeliner again because it is just so so easy to use.

Mascara –> Fairydrops Scandal Queen Waterproof Mascara. A ViviannaDoesMakeup induced purchase. The uniquely shaped brush does all the work for you; lengthening, volumising and with zero clumping or flaking. It just makes your lashes look incredible and if you love waterproof mascara but hate the job of taking it off every night, this also has an extra benefit of being the easiest waterproof mascara to remove ever.

Blush –> MAC Mineralise Blush in Dainty. I’ve really been loving this blusher. It’s very similar to the Hour Glass Ambient Lighting Blush and the Max Factor Cream Puff Blusher that are being raved about so much at the moment. It has abit of shimmer but very very finely milled so you get the intense colour of the blush as well as the brightening glowing effect. It just perks up and brightens your skin immediately and I absolutely adore it.

Lipstick –> NARS lipstick in Blonde Venus. A corally nude shade that is very similar to the popular NARS Barbarella. But I find Barbarella is more nude and muted whereas Blonde Venus gives out more colour and is a really lovely everyday shade.
