Contouring 101 💋

In this blog I want to focus on the basics of contouring, a sort of contouring 101.

Contouring is simple, and if done right it can change the whole appearance of your face. I have a round face with puffy cheeks and not much definition – not ideal!. But contouring allows me to have the cheekbones I’ve always dreamed of, Amen!

Everyone is different. Depending on your face shape there are different tips and tricks to give you your dream shape. But I’ll save that for another blog! For now, I’m going keep things simple.

My Faves: The Look 💋

So this was sort of an impromptu blog post!

Following on from the My Faves post, I had a few comments asking me for how it all looks together. I’m going to warn you, I’m no makeup artist!

Here it is! 

Take it Off! 💋

This is the part of the day I like the least. It’s the makeup removal routine. I get so jealous of my boyfriend climbing straight in to bed when I know I have to spend half the evening taking off what I so delicately put on my face several hours before.

But it is essential!! I can’t stress that enough. There have been times when I’ve slept in the previous days make up and karma, in the form of an almighty spot, has already struck.

What’s Your Skin Type?💋

I’ve always struggled with skin types. For years I couldn’t determine what mine was, I’m convinced it kept changing!

This is why I was pleasantly surprised when the first module of my Makeup Artistry course was ‘Skin Types’.

Hopefully this blog post will shed some light on the type of skin you have, how you should care for it and what type of products you should be using.

My Faves 💋

When it comes to make up, I find it hard to pick my favourites. There are so many different products and brands i’m in love with, it is impossible to choose just a few.

So I’ve picked a few of my daily must-haves instead.

Why now?

This is my first blog post, and my first blog. It’s quite scary.

I thought I’d introduce the blog and give a little detail behind it.

I’m not a writer, nor do I consider myself a pro in makeup. It’s just some thing I love… a lot.
