This
is obviously Zoella’s makeup bag from her range of products, and inside here I
have all of my products that I use everyday. This includes makeup brushes, and
pre-makeup base products, along with all the lovely little luxuries inside. This
makeup bag costs £8 and is the perfect size for your basic, everyday essentials
(well for mine it is). The first thing I do is pin back my most annoying fringe
or tie back my hair.
Then,
being the most important step in my makeup routine, I moisturise my skin. The
one moisturiser I swear by is the simple light hydrating moisturiser. I put
this on as soon as I wake up, faff around with other stuff for 10 minutes and
then rub in another layer, so that my skin is very well hydrated. I like the
fact that this moisturiser soaks into the skin, and doesn’t leave it looking
too greasy or shiny. It also acts as my primer as that isn't a step for me
usually.
The
next thing that I like to do is apply my foundation/BB cream. Quite often I mix
the two, so that the foundation isn't too heavy on my face. More often than not I
will use my trusty Nivea BB cream in the colour natural. If I’m using a BB
cream I will use my hands and work a small amount onto the skin, then taking my
real techniques buffing brush and working this is further. However if I use
foundation I apply with my foundation brush and then buff it in using the same
buffing brush.
I then
take the MaxFactor pan stick concealer and lightly dab a little under my eyes
and around my nose. This concealer is very full coverage and so therefore is
only needed in very small amounts. I use the colour 13 nouveau beige, which is the
perfect colour for my skin. For this I use the real techniques buffing brush. The
next thing I will do is take the setting brush and using my Rimmel stay matte
powder, I will just set under my eyes. Most of the time I don’t need to set my
makeup, as I find that I just don’t need to but if I’m going to be wearing
makeup particularly long or need it to stay for a certain length of time I will
apply powder.
Then
I take my fluffy crease brush by Real Techniques and sweep on a little of the
copper colour in the Revolution Iconic 2 palette. This palette I have been told
is a dupe for the Naked 2 palette, and if it is then I am sure you could use
the Naked 2 palette in the same way. The reason I love this palette is it has
got such a good range of colours and the colour pay-off is just excellent. I then
take a little of the lighter brown shade (yes, I’ve hit pan on that one) and
lightly taking it through the socket line, to define the eye. I by no means go
all out with my eyes on an everyday basis because I try to keep the look quite
neutral and laidback.
I don’t
often make the effort to do eyeliner but if I do I use a mixture of the MUA
extreme line eyeliner and a No7 one. I find that the MUA eyeliner is amazing
for lining the actual eye and the No7 better for a cat eye, just because of the
shape of the nib. They are both liquid pen styles, which I find the easiest to
use. The way I create a cat eye effect is with a plaster. Some people use a
spoon or tape, or free hand, which I sometimes do but using a plaster is the
best way I’ve found. Plasters are meant for your skin which is a pro of using
them because they don’t irritate your skin. I just put the straight edge where I
want the flick to go and then I draw it on. It’s so simple and quick that way.
Then
I do my brows, which to be fair probably takes me the longest in the morning,
especially when I haven’t had them waxed for more than about 4 weeks. All I do
is brush them through with a little brow comb and then take my brow definer brush
and a little bit of the Revolution eyebrow kit in medium brown. I run this
through the brows, in light strokes, and then define the arch. This is
increasingly difficult because there are stray hairs all over my brows at the
minute so I’m going to have them done tomorrow (thank the lord). Then, after a
good few minutes of matching up, I take some of the Maybelline brow drama and
run this through the brows. This picks up all the little hair and sets them in
place.
I then
apply some Lash Sensational Mascara, which I have been loving and apply a good
thick layer onto my lashes. It curls them, elongates them, and volumises them. It
is just amazing. I then use some of the Maybelline New York rose rush lipstick
in 940, which is a pretty, rose pink. It is a moisturising matte lipstick, but I
do like to put some of the menthol pink baby lips on top.
