Glam makeup look💜

Today I was bored so I did my makeup super glam and I think it turned out okay? So first I will list the products and then how I did it! (btw this is my first "MOTD" so please bear with me!) :)

PRODUCTS USED;
Face;
- Nivia soft moisturising cream.
- The porefessional primer by benefit
- Rimmel wake me up foundation in 201 soft beige
- Barry M flawless light reflecting concealer
- Hoola bronzer by benefit
- W7 candy blush in galactic
Eyebrows;
- Rimmel brow this way eyebrow sculpting kit in 003 dark brown
Eyes;
- Benefit creaseless cream shadow in bikini tini
- I borrowed a Mac palette from my mum so I don't know the shades but I will insert a photo :)
-W7 in the city eye palette
- Maybelline lash sensational with oil blend mascara
Lips;
- P.s lip gloss (they don't have shades)
- Essence lipstick in 02 all you need is red

HOW I DID IT;
Face;
- So first I moisturised my face with the Nivia soft moisturising cream which is my absolute fav moisturiser.
- I then used the porefessional on my t zone.
- Next I used a blending sponge (dupe of the beauty blender but I forget where it is from) to blend out the foundation onto my face. I find the wake up foundation to go a bit pink if you build it up too much but that might just be me.
- Then I used the Barry M flawless light reflecting concealer under my eyes, the tip of my nose, my chin & forehead. I love this concealer! :)
- Next thing was bronzer and blush so I used the hoola bronzer by benefit and blended it through my cheekbones. I then used the W7 blush in galactic and put that on my cheeks and blended it out.
- I then used the Mac champagne type colour as a soft highlight on all the places where the sun naturally hits.
Eyes;
- So first I used the cream shadow as a base. I then blended the Mac matte brown into my outer v and crease and then used the colour "Autumn" (which is the darkest brown) from the w7 palette on my outer v aswell. After that I used a thin Brush to place the black colour "Andrea" again from the palette on my lash line.
-After that I just used the mascara on my lashes in a kind of zig zag pattern on my lashes if that makes sense! :)
Lips;
- Lips were super simple, I just put a layer of lip balm on them and then used the essence lipstick and the gloss. Before I finish the lipsI just need to recommend the essence lipsticks! They are €1.89 which is insane and they are so good! :)
Eyebrows;
- For eyebrows all I did was brush them with a scubey (obviously the wrong spelling :D) brush and then use the brow gel from the kit to fill my brows in. (Also I know my brows are AWFUL atm!

So that's it! I would look some constructive criticism on what you think I could improve on (especially eyes and face makeup) and if anyone wants any swatches I would be more than happy to do them for you.
Thanks!

That's a really pretty look Ellen!
I use that Nivea moisturiser too, such a lovely moisturiser!
How do you find the PS makeup line? I keep looking at it in Primark and I've never brought some, they have really pretty eyeshadow palettes

Thank you so much Hannah! :) I find the ps makeup line a sort of hit or miss type thing. Some of the products are good (like the lip glosses which were 90c) and I've heard that the lashes are great too. There is a lot of videos on YouTube with the line if you want to check them out but I personally go more towards the essence line which is also in my primark rather than the ps line. :D.

Not sure about the glam part ; more of a casual / minimal look. I can hardly see your makeup.
Either way , you look nice and refreshed like if you took a nice nap. heh.

I agree with it not being very glam. But I suppose everyone has a different preference to how they feel glam. It's a nice look. Personal very soft and natural to me. Well done :-)

Fay, Esoteric In real life you could see the highlight and eyes way more (aka the eyes are super pigmented and glittery and the highlight is more prominent) Thank you though! X
