Red Lips

I was thinking about what to do for a blog post and then I spotted this red lipstick that I have by Max Factor. It is in the colour Rose Wood, its more of a dark red rather than a bright red so its more wearable, although I have to say that im not quite brave enough to wear it out somewhere!

Applied by itself, as you can see it doesn't give a really scary colour that you wouldn't want to wear somewhere. It actually gives a more natural colour to the lips.

Applied with a clear gloss over the top to give it more of a shine. I have to say that I prefer it with the gloss as it makes them stand out a bit more.

This is a nice colour to have on your lips which could be worn day to day if you wanted to have a redder lip. The duration that the colour stays is a good few hours so you wouldn't have to worry about reapplying every hour. Im not sure how much this was at it was a gift but I don't think that its very expensive so that everybody can afford one (or two?). You can get this from places such as Boots and Superdrug :)

Everyday Eye Makeup

My eye makeup for everyday is very simple and doesn't take long at all, its just a very fresh look as I don't use a lot of product as it is only for sixth form so I don't really want to wear a lot of makeup when im only there for a couple of hours.

I first apply concealer underneath and on top of the eye which also gives some colour to the eyelid so I don't need to use an eyeshadow. 

I then apply this all over the eye and face as well with a powder puff to make the area matte which gives a nice finish.

I then use this Max Factor mascara on the top eyelashes which gives great definition of the lashes. The only downfall is that it can get a bit dry and flakey. 

I then line the eye on the bottom water line with this eyeliner however on this day I also applied it to the top water line and along the top of the eyelid very thinly.

This is really easy and only takes like 1 - 2 minutes :)

Everyday Makeup

In the mornings I a) don't have enough time and b) I can't be bothered to do a full face of makeup. I actually rarely do a full face of makeup. So I thought that I would share the makeup I wear on a day to day basis :)

The first thing I put onto a moisturised face is;

My concealer which I couldn't live without, I do however want to try a liquid concealer though as I haven't had one before. This is in the colour Ivory 001

The next thing I do is apply some face powder, I use this Natural Collection one by Boots which is just a matte powder. This is in the colour Sand.

I then apply this eye liner from Avon to my water line. This is a really nice eye liner, it is in the colour Blackest Black and it really is, its easy to use and smudge.

I then finally apply this mascara from Max Factor which is in colour Rich Black. I like this marcara a lot, its really nice however I do find that it kind of flakes off sometimes but that might just be because its getting a bit old now.

And that is everything that I do most days, at the weekends I sometimes do an eye look and if im going out somewhere nice then I use like foundation etc. This only takes me a couple of minutes and is really easy to do :)
