Face Of The Day

I decided to focus this make up look on the lips. It's important to either focus on the eyes or the lips when going for an everyday look. However, if you're having a night out, I say go all out and do both!

I was doing my staple everyday makeup and decided to pair it with a dark red lip. Of course, I wanted to share the look with you.

 Obviously, I started off with primer. I'm currently using the Maybelline 'baby skin' instant pore eraser. I've only recently started using primers religiously and so I'm new to the world of longer lasting makeup (recommendations are more than welcome!). I decided to pick this one up as I heard good things about it and I'm really liking it - I think I'm going to try the Benefit porefessional next. I then buffed the much loved Rimmel 'wake me up' into my skin. I'm sure you've heard many things about this foundation as everyone and their mum uses it so I won't bore you with how amazing it is! Next, I used the yellow-toned side of the Soap&Glory 'kick ass' concealer on any blemishes and the pink-toned side under my eyes. The pink side is a lot creamier than the yellow side and it definitely hides those under-eye bags.

I then filled my eyebrows in using this eyebrow kit from Sleek. I've been using this forever and I'm too scared to try anything else because I looooove it. Then I used the shade 'foxy' from the Naked Basics palette from Urban Decay all over my lid. I put the shade 'naked 2' through my crease and then used the shade 'faint' to darken it up a bit.

Next I used Benefits 'hoola' bronzer to contour my cheek bones. I took what was left on the brush around my face up to my temples and down my neck.

To line my eyes and create a wing I used the Maybelline gel liner. I've spoken about this liner before because it's my staple. For mascara I used the Maybelline 'the colossal volum' express' in the smokey eyes version. I should probably throw this away now because I've had it for quite a while but shhh.

Finally, for my lips I used everyone's favourite - Rimmel's Kate lipstick in 107. Just like everyone else, I am totally in love with this lipstick and it's probably one of my most worn.

What's your favourite lipstick?
