My Everyday Spring Makeup

Hello! So today I am back with another post and I will be showing you my everyday spring make up look.

Face:

So I start off with a primer. I espsically love the L'Oreal Lumi Magique Primer. This gives my face a nice radiant glow and makes my foundation stay on for a very long time. I then apply my foundation. The foundation I am loving for spring time is the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in the shade 51. I find this foundation gives a nice coverage without looking cakey and lets my skin breathe. I apply this with the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. 
For my bronzer, I use the Bourjois 'Chocolate Bronzer'. I love this because it gives colour to my face without it looking orange. I use the Real Techniques Powder Brush to apply this. The blusher I love throughout spring is Mac Dame Blush. This blush gives you a pop of colour to your cheeks without looking over the top. To apply this, I use the Real Techniques Blush Brush. 

Eyes:
 
 So first of all I like to prime my eyes so my eyeshadow lasts throughout the day. The primer I am very impressed with is the Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer. I've heard very mixed reviews about this but I can say that it does the job perfectly! I then go on to apply my favourite spring eyeshadow, All That Glitters by Mac. This eyeshadow is perfect for the spring as it gives a nice pop of glitter on your eyes but it is still very natural. I use my Mac 217 brush to apply this all over my eyelid. 

For my eyeliner, I use the Maybelline Liquid Eyeliner and I create a very thin line along my upper lash line. Nothing special, I just like to do this as  it makes my lash line look fuller. For my mascara I use The Falsies by Mabelline. I can't describe enough how amazing this mascara is. It makes my eyelashes so long and at the same time it adds volume aswell.

Lips: 
 
Now for my favourite bit of the make up look, lips! I am super excited because I finally got my hands on Tanya Burr's Lipgloss, yay! I have the shade Picnic In The Park. It gives just the right amount of colour and is not sticky at all. It lasts of my lips for ages and I am so excited to buy more! Have you tried any of the lipglosses yet? 

So that was my Everyday Spring Makeup look. Make sure to tell me what your favourite spring make up products are in the comments. Thankyou so much for reading, have a lovely day x

Mac Collection

Hey guys, so today I thought that I would show you my Mac collection.
I don't have a lot of products as they are quite expensive so the products I have got are mainly christmas/birthday presents. So let's get started!


Lips:

L to R: Please Me, Rebel, Creme Cup.

I absolutely love Mac lipsticks. They are amazing quality and they stay on for ages! There are lots of differents finishes: satin, amplified, cremesheen, lustre, frost, glaze and matte. 
Please me is a really lovely 'my lips but better colour'. This is a matte finish but is not drying on the lips at all.  
Rebel is my favorite dark lipstick and I wear this most in the winter/autumn time. This is a satin finish and it applys well to my lips. It looks way more darker than it actually is in the bullet but it is a very muted purple colour and I love it.
Last but not least, my favourite lipstick of all times, Creme Cup! This is my favourite lipstick as you can wear it for any occasion. Either with a smokey eye look or for a natural look in the day it's perfect. This is a cremesheen finish and it glides onto the lips perfectly. 


 Face:

 I only own one foundation from Mac and that is the Studio Fix Fluid in NC15. This is a matte finish and high coverage. Some people say that this is cakey and drys there skin out but in my opinion I love it. I would say that if you have dry skin to stay away from this foundation as it is a matte finish. With this foundation, I do not need to powder my skin at all and it lasts all day!
 On the left is the Pink Buttercream Pearl Matte Face Powder. I use this as a blush/highlight. It has tiny little sparkles in it so if you apply it to the tops of your cheekbones it really makes them stand out! But unfortunately this was limited edition.
On the right is the Powder Blush in the shade Dame. I love this colour a lot as it gives a rosy sheen to your cheeks without looking like you've got punched in the face!

Eyes:

 This is my only paint pot from Mac and it is in the colour Soft Ochre. I love this product as it keeps my eye shadow on for a very long time and it doesn't crease at all. You could also wear it without eye shadow for an every day look to get rid of the veins on your eye lids. 
 Top Left to Bottom Right: Rice Paper, Naked Lunch, All That Glitter and Omega. 

Rice Paper and Naked Lunch are my every day eyeshadows as they are very natural. All that glitters is my favourite one out of all 4 as it has little glitters in it which makes your eyes pop. Omega is my eyeshadow that I use to fill in my brows. I've had this for a year now and I haven't hit pan yet! 

Tools:

 The only brush I have from Mac is my 217 brush. This is my holy grail brush. It blends your eyeshadow in so well! This brush is essential if I am doing a smokey eye. I honestly can't describe how much I love this brush. If you don't own it, then I suggest you pop yourself to Mac and buy one!

So that was my Mac collection. I hope you enjoyed reading, have a lovely day x
