Something a Little Different.

Thought I'd do something a little different aka I was really bored and decided to play with my make up and face!
I realise I haven't got much make up, or even very good products. And I definitely do not have a clue how to apply it 'technically', I just watch tutorials, realise I have none of their products, and pretend I know what I'm doing and begin throwing things on my face!
So on a Monday afternoon, when I've done all I was supposed to do, and I'm alone in the house..this is what happens.
At first I was just going to clear out my make up, I had a lot of stuff that I'd collected over the year and either never touched or just don't use anymore...so I laid it all out, and thought 'I know, I'll just wing it and see what happens'
 
The products I used:
  •  Eyeshadow Palette (was bought as a present and there's no label/brand on it)
    • Light yellow/neutral colour
    • Lilac-y colour
  • Rimmel Gel Eyeliner
  • Scandeleyes Collection 2000 Mascara
  • The Body Shop Cheek and Lip Tint
  • Barry M Thick Eyeliner Pencil (came free in a magazine, not sure if it's actually for sale!)
  • Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer
  • Revlon Get Glossy Lip Palette
 A little bit of what I did:
  • I used the yellow/neutral colour in the corner of my eyes to open them up and look brighter (nice little tip I learnt from FleurDeForce's £20 Make up challenge, thanks Fleur!)
  • I used both ends of my eyeliner pencil, the darker purple over my black eyeliner on my top lid, and then used the lighter pinky/shimmery shade over the ends, I used it on both my top and bottom lids to give it a little shimmer :)
  • I think mascara, eyeliner and eyeshadow are self explainitory haha..
  • The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Tint served me well, I used it on my cheeks first - putting 3 dots of it and blending it in with my finger.
  • I also used it on my lips as a stain, and put the pale pink shade of gloss over the top just to make it a little more exciting. (I'm aware the picture of the gloss is gross, I've used it a lot..)
 

You can see the eyeliner pencil well in the top right hand corner picture!

My products :)

Finished article!
(before and after, hopefully the first..and last time I'll be on the internet face naked!)

Oh and as I was on a roll, I also used my Tresseme Heated rollers whilst I was doing it...gave my hair a little boost :)

Like I said, I don't have the first clue about the proper ways of make up, I'm learning and building a knowledge through beauty blogs and such, but my blog really isn't about make up at all haha..I just though I'd give it a go!

What do you think?

Love, Elizabeth xx

  18. Don't worry about doing it 'properly', you look so pretty.

    Back in the dark ages we didn't have YT clips, tutorials, blogs etc. We just learnt by experimenting and managed ok.
