Make-up of the Week

I couldn't think up a better title for this post, if you have one feel free to leave a comment! I go through phases with my make-up, using the same few products for a week or two in a row before deciding I should switch it up a bit. This is mainly down to being a little lazy but at least it shows I really like the products I'm using. 

This week my face has looked a little like this, only less puffy with not so greasy hair and normally wearing clothes rather than pjs (Id just woken up).

Ive been working a lot and just started a new semester back at uni, so this week my make-up has been quick and easy. 

I start with Origins Vitazing for a quick light coverage to tidy up any little imperfections and give a little glow. The Natural Collection blush in Peach Melba is so natural and easy, I find it just the right amount of pigmentation so I dont have to worry about going overboard. I finished off my skin with a sweep of Rimmels Stay Matte powder over the T-Zone to prevent any shine, as you can see Ive used this to death!

 For the eyes Ive been lovingthe Nars eyeshadow duo in Kalahari, either colour or both swept across the lid is such an easy eyeshadow look and still looks really pretty. For brows I go through them with my Avon Blonde Brow Definer, which again is a perfect product for quick makeup in the mornings and is a great colour match for my brows. I finish off with a touch of MACs Teddy eyeliner in the tightline and two coats of Soap and Glorys Thick and Fast mascara which Ive been really enjoying using lately with its huge brush and volumising formula. 

So thats been my routine over the past few days!

Yey for finally doing a blog post, let me know if you would like to see these kinds of posts more frequently when I find new little routines Ive been loving
