Natural looking makeup!

Hi guys!
This is a look that I've been wearing for quite a while now, it's really quick and natural, and doesn't take more than 10 minutes on a morning and is great if you don't have much time, or you tend to sleep in like me!! Oops!



Products: Body Shop Insta Blur, MUA Eyeshadow in chestnut (for my eyebrows), Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sun bronze, Bare Minerals blush in Secret , 17 phwore Paint in medium, Bare Minerals foundation in Light W15, and Rimmel Stay Matte Powder In translucent.

I start with a fresh clean face and apply the Body Shop Insta Blur to the T Zone of my face as I have oily combination skin. I then go in with the seventeen Phwore! Paint under my eyes and any blemishes I may have, which recently have been a fair few. 
After this I take the Bare Minerals Original foundation on a buffing brush and apply a light layer across my whole face. I don't really like to go too heavy with this as I still want my imperfections to show through to give more of a realistic appearance. 
I fill my eyebrows in with the MUA eyeshadow. It's super cheap and very effective. I feel it matches my eyebrows perfectly as they're quite dark and bushy, so it helps them look more human and not so much like a gorilla!
I apply the Rimmel Bronzer and Bare Minerals blush with the same brush as I don't feel like faffing too much on a morning. I take the Bronzer around the perimeters of my face, not so much contorting but just adding a little bit of definition, as by this time my face is looking flat and much like a pancake!
I apply the blush to my cheeks. It's a really cute pink colour which brings some radiant and life to my face. And not that I need to look any younger, as I already look like a 12 year old! But it gives a very youthful appearance to the face, and is a perfect colour for the spring/summer time.
I don't apply mascara, as I quite like the no mascara look. I guess I'm turning into Kourtney Kardashian LOL! But I really do like the look as my eyelashes are fairly long and quite dark. But if you prefer to wear mascara I recommend going with a brown, or black/brown mascara as it looks more subtle. And the Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara is INSANE! GO GET IT! It adds tons of volume and length, and is all round amazing!
As I mentioned earlier, I do tend to get oily so it is essential for me to powder my face no matter what. And for this is use the Rimmel stay matte  powder in translucent. It mattifies the face and also doesn't add any extra colour or coverage being translucent. And as you can see in the image my broke because the packaging is quite crappy, but nice powder!
And lastly for the lips I don't do anything at all really, apart from a swipe of lip balm as I get extremely chapped and awful lips. If you have the same problem I would definitely recommend the Blistex relief cream. Really really good and takes care of chapped lips in a blink of an eye! 

Thankyou so much for reading and hopefully I'll see you soon x
