Hello everyone! Welcome to today's blog post which is the makeup I tend to wear on non- school days, which typically happens to be weekends or school holidays. For this look I do my everyday makeup routine for school, but I add eye shadow, usually a smoky eye, much more heavy eye liner and mascara and a lipstick. However, the base is still the same. (Big thumbs up to me on the intro picture by the way guys, all thanks to picmonkey.com!!)
I hope you enjoy this post and let me know on my social media, which will all be linked at the end of the post, what you thought of it and what you do for your weekend makeup too.
Love you all lots and lots! Xo's Emily.
So this is my mountain of makeup that makes it's way onto my face every single weekend.
So obviously I have cleansed, moisturised and have a face ready to work with by now but I like to scrub my lips and put on a moisturising lip balm before I do my makeup so that my lips can nourish whilst I am putting on my makeup. I recently bought the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Nourishing Lip Balm and I LOVE it! I only use it usually at night just because it cost £22.00 and I don't want to waste it but I would definitely recommend it to anyone with chapped lips!
I then move onto foundation and I have been loving BB creams at the moment and this one from MAYBELLINE is what I have been using recently. The label is really weird on this product and I don't know why, I think it was just printed wrong, ha ha! I then use my body shop lightening touch concealer around any red areas and on blemishes and then my Collection 2000 concealer under my eyes and then on top of any really bad spots that weren't covered by the other concealer, as this one is a lot thicker and covers more. I blended this all in with my real techniques expert face brush.
Then, as I like to use eyeshadow at the weekend, and want it to stay on, I use my French Connection Eyeshadow Primer, which is pretty good. It's got an incredibly thick consistency and it comes out almost solid and you work it into your fingers and then blend onto the eyelid.
Then I like to use my M.A.C Mineralise Skin finish powder to set all of that, including the eye shadow primer. I use this with my big face brush from M.A.C too. This brush is amazing and is literally so so soft... as you can tell from the pictures!
Then, to contour, I use my Body Shop Honey Bronzer and put it underneath my cheekbones and down my neck and my t-zone to sculpt my face out a little and to add some colour where the sun would naturally catch my face and give it a healthy glow. I do all this with my M.A.C contouring brush.
Then I use my M.A.C blush brush to apply my Estee Lauder blusher in the top left shade, which is a beautiful pinky peach colour. This is lovely for everyday use.
Moving onto eyes, I use my French Connection tinted Eye Cream (top left, middle left) as a base and this is a lovely, shimmery shade and this gives me all the brightness my eyes need to make me look awake and fresh. Then I use my N07 eye shadow in the crease (bottom left). I use the darker of the two shades underneath my eyes too, with a small, precise eye brush to create an 'eyeliner - like line'. I use my two M.A.C eye shadow brushes and my French Connection fluffy blending brush in the crease to blend out the darker colour.
Then I use my new French Connection eye liner on the top lash line, and the bottom, and then my French Connection eyelash curlers which give you so much volume it's unreal!
I follow up with my all time favourite mascara, the Maybelline Rocket Volum Express mascara on the top lashes. Then I use my Maybelline Big Eyes mascara in waterproof on my bottom lashes. This mascara has a wand for the top and bottom lashes but I like to use the top lashes wand for my bottom lashes, ha ha! If I want less volume though I will just use the small wand for my bottom lashes.
To finish off, I use my new Maybelline Baby Lips 'Electro' lip balm and this gives great colour whilst nourishing your lips. I tested the colour out on Cole's cheek! (Top right) Ha ha!
And this is the finished look! I hope you liked it. I wore this makeup to go out to town with Cole, as we do most Saturdays and I love this makeup look!
