BEAUTY | BASIC EVERYDAY MAKE UP ROUTINE (SUMMER EDITION)

For the past few days in the UK temperatures have been getting as high as 31 degrees (which is very hot for us). I don't really want to be out in the heat wearing lots of make up so my routine is very different to my make up routine for cooler weather which you can read here.

I start of by putting a little bit of the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer under my eyes and I blend it using my finger. Personally, this is the perfect light concealer and when I have it on I don't feel like I'm wearing anything. I then fill in my eyebrows with Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in dark brown and then I clean it up with MAC Studio Finish Concealer in the shade NC45. In my tear duck I put a little bit of No7's eye shadow in Champagne and then I line my upper lids with Maybelline Gel Liner, depending on how I feel I might do a thin line or a really dramatic flick. I then pop on my eyelashes which I get from any Afro-Carribean hair shop and that's it. I have really oily skin and it gets extremely oily in the summer, especially on my T zone so I avoid putting make up on my forehead and my nose.

BEAUTY | My Everyday Make Up Routine

I haven't posted anything make up related yet, so my debut make up post shall be my everyday make up routine. This isn't my fixed routine, I'm still playing around with make up and seeing what works for me. I have extremely oily skin so I can't just use any old make up, I start with concealing and highlighting my face. First I conceal under my eyes with Maybelline Fit Me Liquid Concealer and then go over it with a creamy concealer. I do this to prevent creasing, at the moment I alternate between Sleek Corrector and Concealert and Sleek Hide It Concealer.

I then go onto my eyebrows, I have always used Rimmel London Eyebrow Pencil and I will probably always use it. It has never done me wrong. Depending on the condition of my eyebrows, I either fill them in or I completely re draw them. 

For the last couple of months I haven't left my house without lining my eyes. I use Maybelline Gel Liner and I just love the intensity of the black. I use Benefit They're Real Mascara, lightly coat my top eyelashes and then apply my fake eyelashes which I buy from Afro-Carribean hair shops. 

Recently I haven't been using my liquid foundation, I've just been using MAC Studio Fix Powder and I absolutely love the way it looks. I finish with using Sleek Face Contour Kit to contour my face.
