Autumn makeup fix.

Since it's officially autumn  (my fave  makeup season) I have decided to change my makeup to suit the season.This look takes all of 15 minutes which is perfect for those who like to snooze their alarms.

 I have created a really wearable red eye. The red undertone brings out the green in hazel eyes.

I used  the colour copper all over my eyelid, then applied cherrywood on my crease. I used a matte black shadow on the outter corners of my eyes.once it's all applied blend,blend, blend and quickly or you're going to be late for work.  All of the colours are from the media KRyolan pallete. I then just applied a black liner on top of the lashline,waterline and just smudged it under the eye. Applied a coat of mascara. I lightly applied a brow pencil mac spiked through the brows using a light feathery motion to avoid the scouse brow unless that is your desired look of course.

For the skin I like to have a fresh look not too heavy. I used the body shop mineral foundation which is extremely similar to macs mineralize foundation without the price tag. It gives the skin a natural look with  that desired  glow.
I lightly brushed on some maybeline mulberry blusher in the hollows of my cheeks. Applied some gloss and you're good to go!

Kylie Jenner inspired makeup.

I cannot go anywhere without seeing Kylie Jenner just lately and not only is her style on point but her makeup is gorgeous! I am going to show you how I recreated the beauty's look that the nation cannot stop lusting over!

Kylie's base is always flawless it almost looks matte and full coverage to moi. 
What I used for the base:
 - illamasqua satin primer.
-N07 stay perfect matte foundation.
-MAC Select cover up concealer.
-Illamasqua loose powder.
-Illamasqua powder blusher disobey(amazing for contouring on light skin)
-Illamasqua velvet blusher sleek.

Use products in that exact order! Apply your primer with your fingers. Apply your foundation and concealer with the beauty blender this makes the skin look irresistible 👌.
 
I applied my concealer like so highlighting the features I want to bring out! Highlight from the end of your nose to the top of your ear sort of height to brighten those peepers. Under the cheekbone along the center of the nose&the forehead and finally the cross bow above your lips! This gives the face extra dimension!

Once it's all blended it should look something like the above? Hopefully? I then added my velvet blusher and added the powder lightly with a brush. I don't like too much powder as it dries out my skin. I then contoured the hollows of my cheeks to make it look as though I own cheekbones.

Now onto ze eyes.

-MUA smok'in pallet.
-Benefit brow set.
-Kryolan cake eyeliner black.
-loreal miss manga lashes.

I used the first three matte shades in the pallet which blend surprisingly well, and have almost a full coverage. For the eyes stick to matte colours. I tend to choose three colours a dark brown, almond shade, and a light shade for the inner corners of the eye and to highlight beneath the brow bone. Making sure you apply the darkest colour at the end of your eyelid. Blend the dark brown onto the socket line. Sometimes matte colours can be hard to blend as they tend to go slightly patchy this is not good. To stop this from happening apply the matte colours with a flat brush this will make the colour pigments stick to the primer and eyelid more there's also more product to work with making the blending process run a lot more smoothly (well for me anyway). To complete the eye Kylie always has a perfect cat eye sort of flick her flicks are precise and once done correctly should lift the eye area. If you have trouble creating flicks the best advice I have for you is to use sticky tape to create a precise line, then fill in the rest of your liner.
 

Finally as if we haven't noticed it's all about the lips with Kylie lately she I seen sporting her latest pout. A nude rather full pout! 
-MAC pencil spiced.
-MAC matte lipstick Yash.

To create Kylie's bee stung lips I made sure I went over my lip line a little in the pencil and blended the pencil out to make it look not soo obvious. I then applied Yash with my fave illamasqua lip brush which I cannot go one day without. And..................

TAADAA!
That's of course Kylie and below is my attempt!
