No Make Up Make Up | Video Tutorial

Ages ago I did a blogpost on the 'No make up make up ' look . Its a perfect look if you don't want to look like your make up but want to look fresh faced & ready for the day ahead . Video is differently my favourite way of learning so I decided to put together a video tutorial with an updated 'No Make up Make Up Video ' .

Cream products have a more skin like finish & work best . As you can see in this video I used a peachy pink cream blush on my cheeks & lips and a cream highlighter . They blend in seamlessly and cant be seen sitting above the skin .

First off on the eyes I applied Mac Paint Pot to remove any discolouration (veins , redness etc ) . To brighten the eye area & to make my eyes look more awake , I applied a white eyeliner in my waterline, centre of my eyelids & under my eyebrows . I then also applied mascara and lightly applied a thin line of dark brown eyeliner to give the illusion of slightly thicker lashes .

I made sure there was zero make up on my skin by using a cleanser and a cotton pad . I then applied the moisturiser & the beauty elixir mist which really helped revive my skin .

LVL Lashes & HD Brows

I got LVL lashes & HD lashes done about 4 weeks ago in Beauty House Bridgend & I am really impressed by them.  As you can see from the before photo my eyelashes didn't curl up much , even when I did put mascara on them . My eyebrows where both different shapes & weren't very defined .

LVL Lashes

I genuinely was really cuffed & shocked with the result . I didn't have much expectations before I got them done because I have very little eyelashes & there very straight . But I was shocked after at how long they actually where & thicker then I thought too . I am obsessed with eyelashes anyway . I swear by fake eyelashes . I wouldn't feel the same going on a night out without them . This was so handy though because I didn't mind leaving the house without make up because I had my eyelashes done and all. LVL lashes is a treatment that curls you own natural lashes making them curled up which also gives the illusion of longer eyelashes .

HD Brows

I was always scared of letting anyone go near my eyebrows because I got them badly done in the past leaving them both quite different in shape & too thin for my liking . I like groomed brows but nothing over the top. HD brows is an eyebrow treatment where your eyebrow is shaped & tinted to suit you face . Waxing , tinting , treading & plucking is involved in this treatment . It was so nice not having to fill in my eyebrows before running out the door in the morning after I got the HD brows done. Even when I did fill them in the make up went on a lot better on my eyebrows . I loved the definition and symmetry I have in my eyebrows now.

I would recommend getting both treatments done especially if you have a busy lifestyle as it cuts down the time you might spend putting on mascara& filling in your brows in the morning .

Both treatments are lasting very well . To maintain your HD brows you should get them done every 4-6 weeks . The LVL lashes last up to 6 weeks especially if your looking after them well & using the conditioning serum on them .

Jennifer is the beauty therapist I go to and she's amazing at what she does . Very professional .

If you would like to book in with her this is her page : click here .

She does loads of other beauty treatments too (highly recommend her Bellamianta spray tans)

'No Make Up' Make Up

This tutorial is on the 'no make up look ' , a very natural make up look that makes you look presentable , its quick and easy .

 

Step By Step

Step 1 : I apply a moisturiser to my face first to give my skin a natural glow.

Step 2 : I concealed under my eyes , my eyelids and any redness on my face . I used a light weight concealer so it was invisible on the skin . You could also use a bb or cc cream for natural coverage .

 

Step 3 : With a dark brown eye pencil I worked the eye pencil into my upper lash line , into the roots of the lashes to thicken up my lash line .

 

Step 4 : I applied a light coat of mascara .

 

Step 5 : Using and angled eyeliner brush with a brown eyeshadow I filled in my eyebrows with light strokes .

 

Step 6 : I applied a light brown eyeshadow to my eyelids with a fluffy blending brush.

 

Step 7 : With a pink lipstick I applied some to my finger and dabbed it on my lips to add a subtle tint to my lips .

Step 8 : I applied some lip balm to my lips to moisturize them  .

 

Step 9 : I added some cream blush to my cheeks with a stippling brush . Cream blush tends to look more natural on the skin .

 

Step 10 : I applied some nude eyeliner to my inner lash line to make my eyes more awake looking .

 

 

This is a very natural look but I have more creative looks coming on my blog , which are my favourite kind of make up looks to do .
