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 :)

RiRi Woo Review + Swatches

So this blog post has been a long time coming, I've had RiRi Woo since it first became available in the UK on May 3rd this year but I just haven't got round to writing a post about it.  I don't think I can even describe how much I love this bright slightly blue undertoned red matte lipstick, i LOVE it.  being of a slightly fair skin tone I have always stayed clear of bright reds, pinks, purples ect every time I bought a lipstick in the past it would be a neutral every day wearable pink colour but after purchasing RiRi Woo I have found a new love in bright bold lip colours! Riri woo is the type of lipstick you can wear to work for the full day and also the type you wear on a night out with the girls.  

I found that using a lip liner with it makes it stay better, I found MAC's 'Kiss Me Quick' pro longwear lip pencil matches perfectly and it is also a matte finish :)! 

And for those of you that fancy a little bit of shine and gloss on top I found that MAC's lipglass in 'Russian Red' goes perfectly too. If I fancy adding just a little gloss to my lip colour I just apply a tiny bit of Russian Red to the middle of my lips only on top of my riri woo lipstick.
