WEEKDAY FACE
It seems I’m a little backwards when it comes to my weekday/weekend face. I know that a lot of my friends do their makeup nicely for work and layer up the products so they last all day but when it comes to the weekend they opt for the minimal “no makeup makeup” look. For me, it’s always the other way around. During the week I’m usually at home working, sometimes popping out to run errands or visit my parents. I usually keep my makeup pretty simple during the week but at the weekend I enjoy taking my time and trying new makeup looks. I’ve been wearing the same look almost everyday during the week, six products that I know will get me through the day but will hardly take any time or effort to apply.
it cosmetics CC Cream //
I absolutely love this (slightly lemon scented) tinted moisturiser for a medium coverage. I either apply it with my fingers or with a beauty blender and it’s almost undetectable on the skin!
Urban Decay Naked Concealer //
I’ve used this concealer exclusively for over a year now and it’s still my number one. It gives a really nice amount of coverage which means it evens out your base especially when used with a damp beauty blender. I use this under my eyes, around my nose and on my chin and I don’t usually need to set it with powder.
Benefit Precisely, My Brow Pencil //
I recently switched from the Anastasia Brow Wiz to try out this new pencil from Benefit and I’m still loving it. It’s very similar, with a spoolie on one end and a fine pencil on the other. It makes filling in your brows very easy and you’re left with a nice subtle effect.
Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look in a Palette //
This palette has almost everything you need, I used it for my bronzer, highlight, blush and eyeshadow. The bronzer and highlight are the same as those in her Filmstar Bronze & Glow, they’re both so smooth to apply and leave the skin with a subtle contour and highlight. There are two blushers, one is slightly brighter and the other is a more muted pink. On the top row of the palette there are three shadows but I only tend to use the middle shimmer all over the lid and then the matte brown in the crease and under the eye. This palette makes doing your makeup so easy and quick.
L’Oreal Mega Volume Miss Hippie //
This is a new mascara that I’ve just started testing and so far I’m really liking it. It’s more subtle than most of my mascaras but still gives a nice curl to the lashes because of the large brush and it comes out really black!
By Terry Baume de Rose in Rosy Babe //
Just a little lip balm usually does the trick and this one is slightly tinted pink. I find that it really plumps the lips and looks very flattering.
So that’s my current weekday face… it’s simple but it does the trick and allows me to snapchat without giving everyone a complete fright! Follow me on snapchat ‘lilypebbles’ as I usually snap daily and they’re like little mini vlogs!
