Hey guys and welcome back. It was my birthday recently, on November 3rd and I wanted to do something a bit special for my makeup for my 16th birthday. Today I thought I'd share the products I used.
BASE: starting off with a bare canvas, I prepped my skin with the Embryolisse Moisturing Cream and left that to sink into my skin for about 30 minutes. For my birthday, I wanted a nice flawless base to make it look extra special so I used my beloved NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in 'Punjab'. I dotted this on my face and blended it out with a damp beauty blender in a dabbing motion. To conceal my under eyes and any other scars or blemishes that were still showing, I used my Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in the shade '20' (which you can tell is much loved as the writing has rubbed off!). Then to set everything in place, I used the 'baking' method to set my under eyes with the Rimmel MATCH Perfection Loose Powder in 'Translucent'. I tend to prefer more of a dewy finish so I didn't powder anywhere else on my face.
CONTOUR/ BRONZE/ HIGHLIGHT/ BLUSH: To warm up my complexion, I used the bronze shade from the Smashbox Shape Matters Palette and swept that over my cheeks. I then used the contour colour which was slightly deeper and cooler in tone to sculpt out my cheekbones and contour my nose. I used the glow shade to highlight the top of my cheekbones, the bridge of my nose, the cupids bow and my inner corners. To add a subtle flush to my cheeks, I used a tad bit of the No7 Loose Powder Blush (not sure what shade sorry).
EYES: For my eyeshadow, I used the taupe shimmer shade, from the Smashbox Shape Matters Palette, all over my lid and added the light warm toned brown on top to warm up the look. In my crease, I used the dark brown to define the crease and add a bit more depth to the look. I then added some of the Sleek Mascara and then lined my lash line with the TOPSHOP Gel Eyeliner in 'Ink'. I winged this out, and to finish off my eyes I applied the Eyelure False Eyelashes in 170.
LIPS: I lined my lips with the Rimmel LipLiner in 'Cappuccino' and then applied the MAC Lipstick in 'Twig'.
And that's my birthday makeup!
I also included some pictures of some of the makeup I got for my birthday including the MAC 'Velvet Teddy' Matte Lipctick, the MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in 'Global Glow' and the Laura Geller Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator in 'Ballerina'. These were all from my friends, thank you!
That's it for today's post, will be back soon with a haul and product review.
Talk soon, M x.
