My go-to 15 minute make-up look...

This make up look is my go to look if i am running late to meet the girls for a night out or if my plans of a cosy night in change to dinner with friends or even a night out lol! This make up literally takes me 15mins to do, you can take more time and add more colours to your look but this is my quick, in a rush, go with all outfits make up look :)!

First off i prime my skin using Benefit porefessional, i then use either Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation in 1W2 Sand or MAC Studio Fix Fluid foundation in NC20 depending on how my skin is that evening. I find using my Sigma F80 flat top kabuki brush great for blending in these 2 foundations, it works with each one perfectly! After blending out my foundation i conceal under my eyes, around my nose and any other little bits i want to hide with my MAC pro longwear concealer in NC20 and blend that in using my ring finger in a light tapping motion. Then to set everything i use Rimmel stay matte powder in translucent, i use a large fluffy face brush for this. The bronzer i use every single day is BareMinerals bronzer in the shade, skinny dip. Its a nice natural bronze colour with very little shimmer, don't be fooled by how dark it looks in the pan! I like using Benefit's rockateur blush on my cheeks, then a little MAC mineralise skinfinish in soft & gentle on my cheekbones, cupids bow, my nose and chin.


  1. On my eyes i start off by using a Maybelline colour tattoo in the shade 05 eternal gold all over my eye lid. Then taking my Urban Decay naked palette, i take the colour half baked onto a flat shader brush and pat it on over the Maybelline colour tattoo. Taking a MAC 217 brush and the colour smog i work this into my outer 'V' and then whats left on my brush lightly through my crease to blend any harsh lines away. I line my eyes using a thin liner brush and MAC gel liner in blacktrack. For mascara i use my all time favourite mascara ever, Maybelline the falsies flared in black. Also for my brows i fill them in using MAC charcoal brown on a MAC 266 small angled brush then highlight my brow bone slightly using MAC mineralised skinfinish in soft & gentle.


For my lips it usually just depends on what i'm doing with my hair, if my hair is up i sometimes go for a bold lip but most of the time i'll just wear a pinky coloured gloss on my lips, i'm loving NYX Cosmetics butter gloss in strawberry parfait just now which is a nice neutral pink gloss.

Hope you like this 15 minute make up look and find it helpful, let me know what you think :)
