Face of the day: 21st June

Hi everyone! Thought I'd do a FOTD today, seeing as I dug out and finally charged my camera! My hair looks really greasy but it's wet as I'd just washed it, promise! This is pretty much my every day make up. I'm no make up artist, so I do apologise if things are going on in the wrong order etc, just how I like to do it!



// Bobbi Brown corrector in 'Porcelain Peach' //
A recent purchase - so far I'm loving it! I get the darkest circles under my eyes and sometimes concealer just doesn't do the job. I apply this with a Space NK concealer brush. 



// Bourjois 'healthy mix' foundation in shade 'Light Vanilla' (51) //
Another recent purchase which I'm also enjoying. I don't personally need a really high coverage foundation, so this is perfect, and what I have been searching for for months - almost in between a BB cream and a heavy foundation. I apply this all over my face with a Real Techniques 'expert face brush'. I really recommend this brush - although it seems like a lot of money, it's well spent, as it can be used for pretty much anything on your face and leaves a very even coverage. 


// Urban Decay Naked Palette // 
As you can see, this palette is well loved. For my every day look, I tend to apply 'Virgin' to my tear ducts and brow bone. I then apply 'Naked' roughly over the whole lid, and put 'Sin' on top of that. I then add a tiny bit of 'Sidecar' to the corners/crease. I apply with the brush that comes with the palette, then blend with a No. 7 Blending/Contour brush. The Naked Palette is definitely one of the most versatile palettes out there, and is really useful! 

// Collection 'Extreme' felt tip liner in black // 
I don't get on very well with liquid eyeliners - I'm not sure if it's me or the fact that my eyelids don't cooperate! I find felt tip liners, however, really easy to apply because you have a lot more control. I used to buy a Maybelline one, and have tried several other brands such as No. 7, but they all dry out really really fast, and when you add it all up, I was wasting a lot of money! 'Collection' is pretty much the cheapest you can get, but I've found it actually lasts the longest - I'm very impressed! I usually apply a thin line to my lash line and do a small flick, sometimes I just leave it though. 

// Maybelline 'the Collossal Volum' Express' Mascara // 
I usually use 'the falses' but since that ran out last week, I'm trying to use this up before I go and buy another! I have naturally quite long lashes so all mascara seems to work kind of the same, which is lucky! 

// Rimmel 'Wake Me Up' Concealer in 'Ivory' // 
Everyone raves about the Collection 'Lasting Perfection' concealer, but I'm so pale that even the lightest shade comes out super orange on me! I think this is the next best thing - I apply this under my eyes and to any blemishes, using my Real Techniques expert face brush. 

// Mac Pro Long wear blush in 'Stay Pretty' // 
I don't think this blush is anything special to be honest, but I spent a reasonable amount of money on it, so force myself to use it! It is pretty though. I apply a small amount to the apples of my cheeks using a Space NK Blush Brush. 


// Revlon Lip Butter in 'Berry Smoothie'//
I mentioned this product in a previous blog post, and I really really like it. It doesn't last that long but it's so much less effort that lipstick. It also feels nice on your lips, I find that lipsticks really dry my lips out, and I spend forever checking and reapplying. Definitely a good find! 

Do you use any of these products? Have you got any recommendations? I'd love to try some new things!

Love, India x
