Natural Brown Cut Crease


 
A natural cut crease is such a versatile look whether you wear it daily, for school or at work. It can be a bold look for an event or a very easy and simple casual look. The idea is to add some definition to the eyes making them look bigger without adding a dark bold smoky eye. This is my go to look for work as its nice to have a bit of makeup on whilst looking professional and without giving the impression you are trying way to hard. Although most girls like a full face of makeup for them selves not to gain attention.
 

My girl Liv has such beautiful skin, plump lips and big eyes so she doesn't really need to do a lot, having more makeup on only makes these features more visible. This is actually a lot of makeup for her and I think this casual look suits her really well. Its easy to wear on a daily basis but for someone who doesn't wear this much makeup its quite a stock.

 

The only high end products I used for this look is the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation and the Estee Lauder Pure Colour Lip Gloss, all other products are high street products.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation
Shade Bone
Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer
Shade Light Neautral
Makeup Revolution Blush Palette Sugar and Spice
Makeup Revolutions Essential Mattes Palette
Shade Brown crease and  Shade Cream base
Maybelline Sensational Mascara
Collection Black Liquid Eyeliner
Rimmel Kohl White Eyeliner
Estee Lauder Pure Colour
Shade 26 Extravagant Pink Shimmer (Discontinued)

I hope you like this look!!

Coral Blossam


This look is a very easily wearable look for school, work on just on a daily basis. The purple cut crease has become one of my go to as its relatively subtle but also adds a hint depth to the eye area.
The coral lipstick is very moisturising and it doesn't make your lips look dry or unhealthy. The Purple and Coral colour compliment each other so well as the purple isn't too harsh. I think if you were to wear a dark or bright purple smokey eye with this lipstick it would definitely look too much, especially for a work place or school environment. As much as I love a dark smokey eye and a bold lip combination, it just isn't right for certain workplaces. It could easily give off the impression that you are trying too hard and plus I like my bed in a morning.


The products I used for this look are mostly highstreet products so its easily achieved on a budget. The two products that are not highstreet products are the Naked Skin Concealer from Urban Decay and the Exceptional Definition Mascara from No7. It all depends of your view on highstreet as you can purchase these either at boots or House of Fraser which are considered to be highstreet, but they are generally higher priced brands. The the Naked Skin Concealer retails at £17.50 and the Exceptional Definiton Mascara at £10.00.

The lipstick and palettes that I used are both highstreet and can be purchased in most Superdrug stores. The Sugar and Spice Blush Palette (£6.00) and the Hot Spoke Eyeshadow Palette (4.00) are both from Makeup Revolutions and are incredibly priced for the quality of these palettes.

The MUA Lipstick in the shade 16 Nectar is such a beautiful and bright colour and at a £1.00 they are a must have for beauty lovers, I have a lot of their colours in my collection.




I hope you liked this blog post and this easy to wear makeup look. 
I hope your having a nice Saturday!!

Natural Curly Hair Routine

My hair has changed so much over the years, its become more curly as I have grown up. It was more a less straight when I was very young and it started to get thicker and curlier in my teens. However until recently I didn't really know what to do with it as I didn't really experiment with my hair texture. I don't have naturally perfect curls, so for some time now I have experimented with different routines and products to make my curly hair look natural.  



My routine consists of the tips and tricks that will define the curls and avoid the frizz. All of our hair is different, that is something that needs to be remembered, so this may work perfectly for you but not for the next person. However you have to try different routines and products in order to find the best routine for yourself and your hair. That is the only way that I found that this routine works for myself.


You will Need:

Water Spray Bottle
Towel
Styling Gel 
Spray Hairspray (Non Aerosol)
Hair Dryer 
Hair Curlers

The products I use are the Chunky Texturing Glaze by Charles Worthington and the Tresemme Spray Hairspray, however these have now discontinued so if you use any good curling products then make sure you leave them in the comments below. I would avoid aerosol hairspray and mouse as in my experience they make your curls go frizzy and leave a wet look which doesn't look natural.

The curlers I have loved for so long are the Andrew Collinge Pro-Z Curling Tong but they are now broken. There was nothing wrong with the curlers however the wires became exposed and my mum forced me to throw them away as they were a hazard. That was a very sad moment and it got worse when I realised I couldn't buy them again as they are also discontinued. These curling tongs give you the most natural curl as they are not a round barrel, so if you want natural curls then definitely try the flat shape curling tong. If you know of a quality flat curling tong then leave that below as I will need to buy a replacement.


This routine takes me no longer than 15 minutes in the morning, its actually a lot quicker than drying my hair and it will stay in for 3-5 days. I do tend to top it up on a daily basis, so if you have naturally curly or wavy hair then it is a low maintenance hair style.



Please watch my 'Natural Curly Hair Routine' video now live on my channel to try this routine and see whether it works for you. If you do try this then make sure to leave your comments below to your conclusion.

If you have any request, suggestions or any comments at all then please leave them below.

See you soon!
