Fresh and Girly Makeup Tutorial

Hi guys. So, it's come to my attention that I've only made one makeup tutorial on this blog. I really do like creating new looks. Unfortunately, they're a pain in the backside if you make tutorials the way I do. I live in England - you know, that country notorious for its unpredictable, temperamental weather. Natural lighting? Yeah, it sucks. However, I managed to work with what I had on the first bright day Birmingham has seen in 2015. I hope you like the look, anyway. Enjoy!

First off, make sure your face is clean and moisturised. Then you can go ahead and apply your primer. I used the Maybelline Baby Skin Primer.

Once you've done that, take your favourite foundation and buff it into the skin - if you get really dry skin, this can cause micro-exfoliation. If you're prone to that happening then try stippling or using a sponge. I used my MAC Studio Fix Fluid and buffed it out with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush. Of course, if you don't need foundation then miss this step out.

Next up is concealer. Just spot conceal any areas that the foundation didn't cover. If you get bags (like me) then feel free to use it under the eyes too. I used the L'oreal True Match Concealer and patted it into the skin with my fingers - it's just my preferred method.

Oh by the way, please ignore Mrs Desert Lips & Bushy Brows over here! Now, nothing says fresh and girly like a pink blusher. That's right. Whip out your favourite pink blush and smash your face into it. If that doesn't work, try applying it along your cheekbone and connect it with your brows. This lifts the cheekbones, whereas sometimes applying blush to the apples of the cheeks can drag the face down slightly. I used a blush by No7 and applied it with the Real Techniques Contour Brush.

If you use powder, set your foundation with it. I used the Stay Matte Powder by Rimmel.

Time for the eyes! First off, apply your base shade - I opted for a pinky/white shade.

Then, apply a shimmery, warm brown in the crease lightly and blend it out. If you want, you can add a shimmery pink or white in the tear duct area to highlight that area and open your eyes up more.

Now, apply your mascara. I used the Maybelline Great Lash Mascara.

Finally, apply a bright pink. I used my favourite pink lipstick - Rimmel Moisture Renew in shade 630, Coral Britannia!

 And there you have it, your fresh, girly makeup tutorial. I'm still keeping up with that whole 'post twice a week' malarkey. That's right. Can't slate me just yet. Anyway, hope you enjoyed - give it a shot and see if you like it.
