Face Prep
Step 1 : Cleanse tone and moisturise as always . ( I used Bioderma Crealine and for moisturiser I used Bioderma Hidro Riche which I am currently loving , its a great lightweight moisturiser for underneath foundation ) .Step 2 : Apply some lip balm to you lips so they are nice and moisturised when your applying your red lipstick . (I used Nuxe Reve de Miel , I also reviewed this product : http://alannahharrigan.blogspot.ie/2015/02/lip-saver.html ) .
Eyes
Step 3 : Prime your eyelid using concealer or a eyelid primer . Blend it out with your finger (I used Nyx Concealer wand )Step 4 : Dust a cream eyeshadow all over your primer to set it , works best using a blending brush . (I used Urban Decay Foxy eyeshadow ).
Step 5 : In the crease of you eye apply a peachy pink eyeshadow (or blush , I used pinch o peach by mac which is discontinued but apparently elf blush in passion pink is a dupe , also a hell of a lot cheaper ) I applied it with a crease brush and blended it out with a fluffy blending brush . Do the same on the bottom lash line.
Step 6 : With a more dense eyeshadow brush apply a grey brown eyeshadow (I used an Inglot eyeshadow in the number ) on top of the peach colour you have just applied but make this more defined . Then buff out the eyeshadow with a clean blending brush, make sure to blend it too much , you still want to know its there .
Step 7 : Using a liquid or gel eyeliner draw a line on the top of you lashes then extend it out into a wing. Just below the wing leave a small gap and draw a line mimicking the wing . (I used Bourjois Mega Liner Ultra Black) .
Step 8 : Apply some white eyeliner on your waterline , inner tear duct and in-between the two wings . ( I used milk jumbo pencil by Nyx with a thin eyeliner brush ).
Step 9 : In zig zag motions apply your mascara . I find applying it in zig zag motions works best for giving your lashes length and volume ( I used maybelline great lash mascara ) .
Step 10 : Apply fake eyelashes . This step is optional but adds a bit more drama.( I used Red Cherry Wsp lashes ) .
Eyebrows
Step 11: I brushed my eyebrows up and then applied Anastasia Beverly Hills dipbrow in blonde to my brows using a small angled brush . My eyebrows need plucked but i can't bring myself to the pain of plucking them so excuse the stray hairs haha .Skin
Step 12 : I then apply some foundation to my face . The one I am using at the moment is Bourjois Healthy Mix serum (If anyone would like a review on this foundation , just ask ) .Step 13 : After applying my foundation I covered up my huge eye bags that felt like they were down to my ankles and any other blemishes using collection lasting perfection concealer .
Step 14 : I used Make up Designory bronzer in endless summer to add some warmth to my cheeks .
Lips
Step 15 : Line your lips using a red lip pencil. (I used a red lip pencil , not to sure what brand its from ,the writing has rubbed off ) .Step 16 :Using a small lip brush apply a red lipstick to your lips . (I used Sleek Make up Stiletto ) .
