I often get asked how long it takes me to do my make-up, (it depends on what time I have and what I need that day!)
Skin prep is very important to me, so making sure I use the right moisturiser for my skin, (depending on the time of year and my skins needs.) As I am getting older, my skin is more dry and I feel like I need a bit of a glow! so I always opt for something to give me that, I love my Bobbi Brown Moisturising balm, I then use a Hydrating eye cream.
I mix the balm with a Bobbi Brown CC cream, (as I feel the tinted balm is too heavy for me and the CC cream on its own isn't moisturising enough.) I then conceal any blemishes, (how is it I still get them at my age!?!) and uneven areas with a Bobbi Brown foundation stick.
I have under eye darkness, so I correct this with 2 shades of concealer, (the darkest first), by Amazing cosmetics, (believe me, I have tried most things and this product really works and does not budge/crease.) I then use a tiny amount of YSL touch eclait, if I am particularly dark.
Brows next, mine are a bit sparse, so I have to fill them in with an eyeshadow, I use Saddle by Bobbi Brown, (really lightly, as I am not a fan of the whole Instabrow thing, or Instamakeup thing for that matter!) I then define a little with a Pur Minerals brow pencil and set and enhance any brow hairs using Diego Dalla Palma brow gel.
I love using cream eyeshadows as they stay put and don't crease, again, Bobbi Brown are my fave. For this look I used Vanilla cream eyeshadow stick. I then used Taupe on the lid and below the eye. I then used my Charlotte Tilbury The Sophisticate eye palette, to create a smokey eye. I added a bit more definition with a gel liner, (this one is from BECCA.) I then used my Chanel mascara, top and bottom.
Cheeks next - I love my Bobbi Brown pot rouge at the moment in Fresh melon, very natural. Then a sweep of my Daniel Sandler Radiant sheen on my cheekbones.
Lips to finish - I used Rodial lip pencil in Nude and then finished with my Charlotte Tilbury lip colour in Bitch perfect.
