So this is basically my every day, nothing special look with an addition of eyeshadow (which I use not very often) but when I do use it, these are the colours I mix.
I haven't worn foundation about 2 yrs so the only face products I use are bronzer n blusher (not even concealer - I know, SHOCKER!)
Usually I start of with eyebrows, I use Sleek's Brow Kit in Dark n a small studio smudge brush by E.L.F. Cosmetics n start filling in my brows about a quarter way in, pressing the brush quite firmly in n filling in any sparse areas, as my eyebrow hairs are thick individually but there aren't many of them. I go back to the beginning of my brow n try gradient in the rest by applying the paint very softly n building it up to my liking, blending as I go along.
Then I move onto eyeshadow n eyeliner. The only palette I own is E.L.F.'s 'Bright' palette, and even then, it's only two colours in it that I ever go to. I use E.L.F.'s eyeshadow primer to prep my lids (it's actually amazing, my eyeshadow goes creaseless for 6-8 hours) then I place the lightest brown shade in the middle of the first row all over my eyelid n a little into my crease then I go back in using the plum/aubergine shade at the end of the third row and intensify it a little by placing it in the outer corner of my eye. I take the same colour n run it underneath my lower lashes. Moving on to liquid eyeliner, I draw a fairly small (by my standards) wing using Sleek's Dip-It Eyeliner. Then I curl my lashes for about 10 seconds each, pressing down with the clamps (...?) every other second. I apply two coats of E.L.F's Defining Mascara to the tops n bottoms n that's the eyes done!
Moving on to bronzer n blush, this compact duo is definitely my favourite - it's Milani's Sunset Duo in 'Sunset Beach'. I apply the bronzer with So Eco's blush brush to the hollows of my cheekbones, my temples and my jawline/under my chin. Lastly I swipe some blusher on and blend with E.L.F.'s studio stipple brush n voila!
I usually add a lip balm before leaving the house n that's it!
