I still do need makeup though for hiding my dark circles and tiredness and brightening my skin.
So on to the products I use daily to achieve the below look,
Firstly I start with my NYX Born to glow liquid Illuminator & mix a pea sized amount in with my L'Oréal true match foundation- shade Rd C2 - and apply this all over my face and blend it in. Then using my foundation brush, the same brush I used to apply my foundation, I blend whatever product is left on the brush down my neck.

I then move onto the brow, using my Sleek brow kit in light I firstly dip the brush into the power and starting at the bottom of my brow, I begin by drawing a line following my brow shape. Then continue by filling in the brow by following the hair growth. Make sure you don't clump the start of your brows or it makes your brow look to heavy and can look like it's falling down on the face instead of lifting it off the eye area.

Next I clean up around the brow using my Maybelline 'the eraser eye' in light. I also use this under the eye area to conceal and brighten. It has a great sponge on the end of the concealer that's easy to apply and blend.

I then move onto my cheeks and Im currently using the 'Barry M Get up and glow' palette which has a great range of blushes, a bronze colour for contouring and a highlighter.

On to the eyes and I'm loving the Mua palette 'undressed' as all the colours are so wearable and you can bring a look from day to night! I always start by applying a transition colour into my crease line and blending slightly above. For this look I used the 'fawn' shade. Next I used a darker shade 'Tawny' and blended this in the outer corner of the eye in a v shape , so along the lash line into the crease. And lastly I used a lighter shade 'puff' in the inner corner to really open the eye.

On to the lashes with No7's 'dramatic lift black mascara' which is amazing girl to really lift the lashes and add volume. If your like me and have very little lashes then this mascara is so worth the investment. It is a more expensive high street mascara but so worth it!

And lastly the lips! So no time for liner here just some of Rimmel's colour rush balm in shade 110 'make me blush'. Such a nice pink shade for daytime wear and easy to top up on the go!
