FOTD - Everyday Face #2

Hey Guys!

Today I want to do a little Everyday Makeup post, I love seeing products people use and how it looks on the actual face instead of the back of a hand, so I'm going to start doing some more FOTD's to show the makeup looks I like to wear. In general I wear the same base products, but my eyes,cheeks and lips are usually changed up and mixed around so I will blog those every once in awhile(hopefully every week!)

Products Used:

Origins Starting Over Moisturiser 

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum 

Too Faced Eye Primer

Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in Birthday Suit (inner eyelid)

Urban Decay Naked Palette: Suspect (outer eyelid), Busted (crease), Bootycall (tear duct)

Bobbi Brown Corrector

No 7 360 Mascara

Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder

Topshop Highlighter in Crescent Moon (review here)

Illamasqua Blushes in Tremble and Katie (Katie review)

MAC lipstick in Offshoot Sorry for the amount of pictures, I wanted to try and show everything well, I like to wear this look a lot because it's not too much or little, for me I find it a good balance to wear everyday in and out, sometimes I pair two blushes together to get a new shade altogether or to make it more of a gradual build up to a warmer tone and thats what I did with this look. My favourite palette to use for any everyday face is the Naked 2 because it has a wide range of shades aka a lot of combinations to try out and wear or to pair with a different eyeshadow like the Birthday Suit, I've recently started wearing it again after finding it hidden in my makeup collect and rest assured I will not be forgetting it.

Hope you enjoyed this post, see you next time!

Illamasqua Katie Blusher.

Hey Guys!

Today I wanted to review a blusher I have been in love with for a while, I think it may be my favourite blusher of the moment. I received Illamasqua's Katie for Christmas after constantly pinching my mum's one, I was really surprised that she got me it, but so happy that I now had my own to use!

First I want to start with the packaging, I am really a sucker for neat and simple make-up packaging and Illamasqua is one of the brands that tick that box perfectly, the simpleness of the product design makes it seem more sophisticated and I appreciate a product that I can take out to reapply anywhere without feeling like a fool because of the bright neon decorated packaging.

Katie is a pale pink blusher that is very build able from a light dusk of colour to the cheeks to being a very obvious barbie pink (if that's what you want to go for) I tend to stick in between the too, enough to give some vibrance to my pale complexion but not too much so that I look like I've just come out the circus. That's one thing I've noticed, it's very easy to look like a circus clown with any Illamasqua blusher because they are so pigmented, so I tend to use a light hand and spend the extra ten seconds building a suitable colour.

What I love about Katie is that it is very versatile, it can be worn day or night, summer or winter, and can go with everything, it is a all round good blusher. I do need to reapply the blusher some point through the day, but that's to be excepted, I use a stippling brush to apply to my cheeks which does the job well. 

Overall I really enjoy this blusher, I think it works really well on my skin tone and brightens up my face, although I would recommend trying out this blusher I would say that it may wash out olive toned skin as it is quite pale, but I'd still recommend swatching it at a Illamasqua counter next time you're there!

Hope you have a great day everyone, see you soon!
