MOTD - my first :/

Jul 4, 2015

Here's my first MOTD post eeeeek!
I have just returned to the UK after 2 weeks in Greece so I'm very tanned at the mo!
Products used:
Face -
Liz Earle moisturiser (light).
Mac Pro long wear concealer under my eyes set with Ben Nye banana powder.
NARS blush contour in paloma on my cheek hollows.
MAC crime blend blush in 'so sweet so easy' on my cheeks.
No powder or foundation.

Eyes-
Benefit eye primers on my lids
Inglot eyeshadow on lids (sorry the name has rubbed off!)
NARS blush contour in paloma on my crease
Rimmel glam eyes liquid eyeliner in black
Sephora crayon contour eye liner in black in my water lines.
Revlon lash potion mascara in black
Eyelure eyelashes in 143
ABH dip brow in dark brown used with ABH brush in number 12

Lips-
Collection liner in nude pink
Rimmel Kate moss lipstick on 103

Nyx fixing spray


My thoughts:
Feels very strange not wearing foundation or powder!
I think my concealer under my eyes is a bit light due to my tan.
I need to learn how to contour - I am a curvy girl and would love to use contouring to slim my face but I'm no good at it.
The NARS blush contour and sephora liner are both new products. I love the NARS product. It comes with a matte highlighter and a contour shade and is very pigmented and super blendable. Has anyone else tries this? The eyeliner is very very pigmented and real black! I bought it as its long wear and waterproof and so far it's not budged 👍🏻

I'm a bit nervous as I'm not the best at makeup but I love applying it but would welcome any constructive feedback as you are all awesome at using makeup!

Thanks all!

I like it! the only thing I would do is clean up a little bit under the brow. just take some concealer on a brush, or straight from the tube if you can, and clean up under the brow. also, now this is completely personal preference, I would make your eyeliner thinner in the tear duct area. it thins out going into the tear duct, but once it actually hits it, it becomes thicker. sorry, I can't really explain it that well! but for contour, I would take any kind of contour brush, the morphe on or the nars on is really good, and get some powder onto it. you have to start small, and the work your way up. this way, it won't look like a big patch of brown. you can contour under your cheekbones, jawline, and your forehead. or, you could take a stick concealer and draw the lines where you want to contour, and blend it out. but honestly, I really love it! that lip color is really good on you!

But make sure the concealer in darker then your skin tone for the contour

Thanks both. Thanks Shreya for the really helpful tips! I always have difficulties with my eyeliner I have an epicanthal fold in my inner eyes (I know, it's weird!) but it makes my eyeliner move a lot. Will Defo try all your tips. Thanks ever so much
