I tried Kylie Cosmetics - Eyeshadow

6 February 2019

The hype around Kylie Cosmetics has never died since Kylie Jenner launched her makeup brand back in 2015. I finally got round to trying out some of the products and have been using them for the last 4 months. I am going to be writing a few of these 'I tried Kylie Cosmetics' posts, as there is no way I can fit eyes, lips and highlighter all in one! So, let's start with eyeshadow...

I have been using 2 of the eyeshadow palettes from Kylie Cosmetics. The first one I got was the Birthday 2018 Palette. It consists of a range of 21 metallic, satin and matte pressed powder shadows. Most of the palette is made up of warm browns, pinks and nudes (which is perfect for me) and then there is a bright electric blue, a matte black and metallic gunmetal silver. 

I honestly LOVE using this palette as you can create lots of different looks. This is the palette I would take on a trip away as you basically have every colour you need if you love your pink and warm brown eyeshadow looks, but also want something dramatic for a night time.

My favourite shades:
Pretty (matte neon pink) - OMG. Now this is a look
Mimosa (matte maroon) - perfect for the outer corner to make your eyes more dramatic
21+ (metallic rose pink) - I hit pan on this one pretty quickly... So that says a lot
Tequila Tangerine (matte pale peach/orange) - this one is perfect as a transition shade and also for a simple everyday look
Sangria - (matte mahogany brown) - this one has gorgeous red tones
Sex On the Beach (metallic golden/copper brown) - this goes amazing with Sangria and Mimosa 

The second Kylie palette I have is the Burgundy Extended palette. This is one of the most perfect palettes I've ever found to suit my obsession with pink/brown eyeshadow. It's just full of shimmer and pink - ahhh it's amazing. 

I got this palette for Christmas and I have been using it non-stop for a month now. Personally, I think this is the perfect selection of shades for if you have brown eyes. All of the shades blend well together and you can create a range of looks from pale and glittery pink, to a more peachy/rose gold shimmer, to deep purple and burgundy. 

My favourite shades: 
Ladybug (matte dusty maroon) - a lovely shade to wear on its own
Burgundy (matte bright red burgundy) - this might be my favourite of the whole palette
Dirty wine (metallic rose gold) - this one goes so well with Ladybug and Burgundy (I often wear these 3 together)
Penny - (matte light red/orange) - subtle and blends well
Bordeaux (matte deep burgundy) - this one is very dramatic and perfect for a night time

So, my verdict on these Kylie Cosmetics palettes is that the colour selection in them is so impressive. The shadows are very pigmented and easy to blend. The mattes and satins are soft and go on smoothly, while the metallic shades are just SO shimmery and really stand out on your eyes. 
I need to invest in more already! The Valentine Collection palette has definitely caught my eye...

Dolly Beautique Lashes

10 May 2018

So, It has been a little quiet over here on GeorgiaMayBeauty for a while. I can happily say that I have FINALLY finished my first year of university. I took a little time away from blogging while I was drowning in assignments and revising for my exam and now I am soooo ready for 4 months of summer.

Now, let's get to the lashes.



The lovely people over at Dolly Beautique were kind enough to send me some of their gorgeous lashes to try. And I am in LOVE.

I received the 'Dolly Loves' collection. The lashes came in this cute box which opens like a little book. Inside are 3 pairs of lashes and a rose gold lash applicator. The writing is all embossed in metallic rose gold and all I can say is that the presentation and the packaging is just unreal.


The lashes that I was immediately drawn to were the Amber lashes. They are so wispy and curly, which is definitely what I look for in a pair of lashes. Here are some pictures of what the Amber lashes look like on...




The Sienna lashes are also sooo dramatic due to the winged out outer corner. They go perfectly with some winged eyeliner for a night out.

The Olivia lashes are the most natural lashes in the collection. I wear these for an everyday casual look with no eyeshadow or eyeliner. They are so fluttery and pretty and are perfect for when you want your eyes to stand out while wearing minimal makeup. 

All the lashes are so easy to apply with the lash applicator which is provided in the 'Dolly Loves' collection. I have never used a lash applicator before, I have always just used tweezers. This applicator makes it so much easier as it has a better grip of the lashes and you have much more control when making sure they stick in the right position.

I also love how well these lashes have lasted. I have used the Amber lashes about 5-7 times now and they have stayed in really good condition. As long as you remove the glue from the lashes when you take them off and dab them gently with a damp cloth to clean them then you will definitely get a lot of use out of them!

I would 100% recommend Dolly Beautique lashes as I don't think it is possible for anyone to be disappointed with them! They are easy to apply and wear, long lasting and they are so beautifully designed.

All pairs of lashes in the 'Dolly Loves' collection are available to buy separately for £9.99. You can also purchase the lash applicator separately for £3. The 'Dolly Loves' collection is £22 which means you make a saving of £10.97! You also get free standard UK delivery on all orders over £15.

Dolly Beautique are also releasing a line of face and body jewels which are coming VERY soon for festival season and I'm sooo excited! Watch this space!

Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Foundation Review

12 February 2018

Since October I have been completely and utterly obsessed with the Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Foundation. I mentioned it back in my November favourites but I still feel like this foundation needs its own post.



I am now onto my fourth bottle of this stuff and I can't get enough of it. Usually, I switch between foundations every few months as I get bored and want to try something new, or I decide to go back to an old favourite. But, I am still in love with this one and using it religiously.

I used to swap between the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk and the Charlotte Tilbury Magic foundation. I can still say, hand on heart, that these are some of the best foundations out there and I would always recommend them. However, there are a few things about the Fenty Beauty foundation that make me just a bit more in love with it than the others. So, I have come up with a lil list of things that make this foundation a must have.



Long-wearing
I think this is one of the most important aspects about a foundation. No one wants their foundation to slide across their face during the day. I don't use a primer with this foundation and still, it stays put all day/night. I think this is due to its matte formula, as it looks exactly the same when I get home as it did when I left the house. This is a godsend as there is no worry throughout the day that my foundation has gone shiny or patchy.

Formula
I am so impressed with the formula of this foundation. It applies like a dream. It is the perfect consistency to give your skin that smooth, no shine finish. The formula is oil-free, which is perfect for me because my skin can get a bit oily in the t-zone. Even though it is a matte foundation it is one of the lightest formula's I have tried. It doesn't feel heavy or cakey on the skin at all! This is so important as a cakey formula can put me off a foundation straight away, there is literally nothing worse.

Price
As I mentioned earlier, my holy grail foundations were the Giorgio Armani Luminous silk one and the Charlotte Tilbury magic foundation. Both of these foundations have quite a hefty price tag, especially the Giorgio Armani one which left a £42 shaped hole in my purse every time I needed to restock (I may be wrong but I'm SURE it cost £36 when I first started using it a few years ago?). The Fenty Beauty foundation costs £26. Yep, £26. It is still more expensive than a drugstore foundation but oh my god, it is MUCH cheaper than most high-end end foundations! So, it kills my bank account a little less when I need to repurchase.

I literally cannot recommend this foundation enough. There are 40 shades to choose from, therefore there is a shade for everyone. If you haven't already tried this foundation, and you are looking for something that is light, medium-full coverage and extremely long-wearing then you definitely need to give this foundation a try.  As I said back in my November Favourites post, this foundation makes my skin look exactly how I want it to look, and that is the best way I can describe it.

Charlotte Tilbury Skincare

18 January 2018

Something I need to write about more on my blog is definitely skincare. It is such an important part of my day and no matter how tired, tipsy or incapable I am I NEVER miss my skincare routine, morning or night.

It is no secret that Charlotte Tilbury is one of my favourite beauty brands, for many reasons. Charlotte's products just give your life the little kick of luxury it needs. I have been using Charlotte Tilbury's Magic creams every morning and night since September and, WOW, what a difference it has made.






On a morning after I have cleansed my skin I apply a generous amount of Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Cream to my face and neck. I make sure I properly massage it into my skin and then let it soak in for about 10 minutes before I apply my makeup.


Since using the Magic Cream my skin has been so much more radiant and bouncy. It is as if the cream just takes away all of my skin's dullness and tiredness. I have also found that my under eye area has completely transformed from dark circles to looking plump and hydrated. I have been through so many eye creams and moisturisers to try and tackle this problem and this is the first cream that has been able to fix it!

Since using the Magic Cream I have also found that my makeup applies so much smoother and it also sits better on my skin throughout the day. I no longer need to use a primer!

The Magic Cream is quite pricey at £70 per 50ml but it is one of those products that I am too scared to stop using! The results of the Magic Cream are so clear and it has made such a difference to my skin that I don't think I will ever find anything better!


Since Christmas, I have started using Charlotte Tilbury's Take It All Off eye makeup remover. This is one of the quickest and easiest eye makeup removers out there! It is an oil-based, two-toned remover which you shake before using. You then put a small amount on a cotton wool pad and then wipe away your eye makeup. It quickly dissolves your makeup, which makes it easy to wipe away. I love this makeup remover as it is not harsh on your skin and doesn't sting your eyes.


I have also been using Charlotte Tilbury's Multi-Miracle Glow cleanser, mask, and balm once a week. It claims to be a '3 in 1 skin remedy'. You can use the Multi-Miracle Glow as a cleansing balm, where you would apply the balm to dry skin, massage in and then remove with a hot cloth. This product can also be used as a beauty balm. You can apply the balm directly onto a targeted area to rehydrate and moisturise. Finally, you can use the balm as a facemask, which is what I have been doing. I apply a generous layer to my skin, avoiding my eye contours, and leave it on for about 10 minutes. The mask gives my skin a quick hydrating boost and it is also meant to delay signs of aging. I try to do this once a week, or whenever my skin is feeling like it needs some extra love. I find this mask so relaxing, so I also use it whenever I feel like I need a pick-me-up in the evening.



On a night time, I use Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Night Cream. I apply the cream about 30 minutes before I plan to go to bed so that it has time to sink into my skin before my head hits the pillow. The consistency of the cream is like a gel, once applied it feels quite thick and heavy on the skin. So it is not a consistency that everyone will love. It is important to remember that, with this cream, a little goes a LONG way. Even if you have incredibly dry skin, you only need a tiny amount.

The Magic Night Cream's biggest claim is ' Wake up to the BEST skin of your life'. TRUTH. I don't have a clue what this cream does during the night but oh my God, it is like I have a new layer of skin which is plumper, firmer and so much more hydrated.

I got a small pot of the Magic Night Cream in a gift box for Christmas and I genuinely think that this pot will last for quite a while! However, once I run out I don't know how I am going to bring myself to pay £100 for 50ml. But again, it is one of those products that has shown such amazing results that I don't want to stop using! So, I guess I'll just cross that bridge when I get to it.

Go-to Eye - Perfect Pink

17 January 2018

I have an unhealthy obsession with pink eyeshadow. There I said it! Since getting the Huda Beauty Desert Dusk palette I haven't been able to stop myself. You know when you find an eyeshadow combination you love and then want to wear it every day, forever? Yeah, same.

I thought I would share with you my go-to eyeshadow look from the Desert Dusk palette. I have been wearing this look so much lately, so it is about time I did a post about it.




Once I had primed and set my eyes I started off with the colour Eden on my Nanshy large blending brush. I blended this out really well all over my lid. Eden is one of my favourite colours, it is a subtle peachy pink, which makes the perfect transition colour. It also looks lovely on its own for a simpler look when I'm in a rush! This Nanshy brush is perfect for this step as it is so fluffy and makes blending SO much easier!



I then applied the colour Amber into my crease, with the Nanshy tapered crease brush, and blended it out towards where I had applied Eden. Amber is a gorgeous, deep burnt orange. I then applied the bright orange shade, Blazing over the inner corner of my lid, with the Nanshy large shader brush. I then went back in with my large blending brush and blended it well, into Amber. Amber and Blazing blend together SO well, these colours were definitely made for each other! 

Now for the pink! I went in with Saffron, probably my favourite matte shade in the palette! I blended Saffron into my outer corner and took it across to the centre of my lid. I used a clean large shader brush to pack the pigment onto my outer lid and then used a clean large bending brush to blend it out into my crease, and into the shade Blazing. I absolutely love the contrast between Blazing and Saffron as the shades are both so vibrant.

To add some depth I used my tapered crease brush to apply a small amount of the shade Oud to my outer corner. I then went back in with my large blending brush to make the deep burgundy brown shade blend nicely into Saffron. That's the eyeshadow complete! 

To finish off this look I applied a small amount of Urban Decay's Heavy Metal Glitter, in the colour Midnight Cowboy, onto the inner corner of my eye to add a bit of glam. I then lined my lower waterline with Urban Decay's 24/7 eye pencil in black. I added some of MAC's False Lashes Waterproof mascara to my lower lashes. This mascara is the only one I ever use for my lower lashes as it doesn't smudge at all! Finally, I added some Red Cherry Wispy lashes (my all-time favourite daytime lashes) to complete the look!

November Favourites

1 December 2017

I am so happy it is finally December! I have so many fun things planned for this month which means lots of blog posts to come.

I haven't done a favourites post in quite a while! But, this month I discovered some products which I have literally been using every day of November so I have to write about them!




Huda Beauty Desert Dusk Palette

The first item on my favourites list has well and truly changed my life for the better. The Huda Beauty Desert Dusk palette is the eyeshadow palette of dreams. I have never come across a palette which I adore every single colour that it contains.

The eyeshadows are so easy to blend which means you can easily use a few different shades for one look and they will all blend together seamlessly. They are also very long wearing. The eyeshadows last all day and there never seems to be any fallout (not even from the glitter!). However, I do always make sure I set my makeup with MAC Fix+.

My favourite shades are:
Saffron - Who doesn't love a deep pink eyeshadow?
Cosmo - This one is pure glitter, it is insane. I love dusting this over Saffron.
Angelic - This shimmery pink has gold undertones and it is perfect for a spotlight look.
Celestial - Another gorgeous shimmery pink which looks amazing in the inner corner.
Eden - I think this is the colour I use the most! It is a perfect transition shade and it also looks lovely and subtle on its own, for when I just want something simple.

The range of colours in this palette is just incredible. I am still mostly drawn to the pinks and golds but, sometimes I do step out of my comfort zone and go for the purples!

The only thing I would criticise about this palette is that it isn't as pigmented as I would have hoped. This is fine for the shimmery shades as I just spray my brush with MAC Fix+ first. However, the matte shades, such as Amethyst, don't come out half as pigmented on the eye as they look in the pan. You really have to build up the colour a lot. I think this is due to the eyeshadows being very powdery. When you dip your brush in the pan a LOT of powder comes off. But, this means that they are really easy to blend.

I think I have used this palette just about every day since I got it, and I have only had it just over a month! Below is a photo of the one I use and one that is untouched...




Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream

This is another product which has actually changed my life (I swear, I'm not even being dramatic). Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Cream is like no other face moisturiser I have ever used. I have been using this cream every morning and night for just over a month now and I can see a huge difference. My skin seems so bright and rejuvenated on a morning. Even if I haven't had much sleep, it makes me look like I've had a good 10 hours (lifesaver)!

I also love how nice my makeup goes on after applying the moisturiser. I don't even use primer anymore, which I used to swear by. You can still see the amazing glow it gives my skin through my foundation.

It also has anti-aging properties and SPF 15. I have started to join the anti-aging lotions and potions bandwagon. Even though I am only 19 and my skin is still youthful, anti-aging works as a prevention for wrinkles, not a cure! So it is best to start now!



ZOEVA En Taupe Brush Set

I have heard so many good reviews about ZOEVA brushes for years, I can't believe it has taken me this long to get my hands on some! These are hands down the softest eyeshadow brushes I have ever used, meaning they are perfect for blending. These eye brushes are perfect for my Huda Beauty palette! I also love that they come with this little leather bag, which is the perfect size for my handbag makeup. I am kicking myself for not trying these brushes sooner and now I need to invest in some more!

Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Foundation

This foundation is a game changer.

I must admit, I didn't have very high expectations for this product when I bought it. I just thought all of the hype was because it is Rihanna's brand. But, oh my god, I was so wrong. This foundation basically makes my skin look exactly how I want it to. It feels so light but it has amazing coverage at the same time. I love how this foundation lasts all day without touch ups while giving off a lovely glow at the same time. The formula is also oil-free which is perfect for me!

I prefer this foundation to the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation, which I have been using (and spending £40 a pop on) for years!

The Pro Filt'r Foundation will cost you £23. Which I was amazed at! When I went to buy this foundation in Harvey Nichols I didn't have a clue about the price. I expected it to be at least £40! This is almost half of what I was paying for the Giorgio Armani foundation!

I literally can't fault this foundation at all!




Tatti Lashes - TL3 Luxury Mink Lashes

I came across these lashes on falseeyelashes.co.uk a few weeks ago and I am obsessed with them! I love how long and fluttery they are because of the 3D layers. They also have a whispy look due to the finer hairs. I have worn them about six times so far and they are still going strong! They also come with a little pot of glue, which is always a bonus. These lashes are £9.99 and totally worth every penny!

August Favourites

19 September 2017

I can't believe summer is over and it is already half way through September! Seriously, where has this year gone? Over the summer I have acquired quite a few items which definitely need to make my monthly favourites post. From beauty to homeware, there is a bit of everything this month.


I am going to start off with homeware, as it is something I have became increasingly interested in over the past few months. Buying bits for my room gets me so excited! I spotted these gorgeous small and large feather trinket trays in Paperchase and they go perfect with the golden theme I have got going on in my room. I love having trinket trays on my dressing table as they are so handy for jewellery, keys or any other important little things.


Sticking with homeware, the next item is this lovely little pot from Zoella's new lifestyle range. I think this is absolutely adorable! Now all I need is a cute little plant to go in it.

The next thing I have been loving over the summer months is Chanel's Soleil Tan De Chanel. I have mentioned this product many times on my blog before, but I had to include it in this favourites post as I used it so much while I was on holiday! I didn't wear much makeup on holiday apart from this product and some lipstick. Soleil Tan De Chanel is a cream bronzer which gives off the perfect, healthy glow.


I bought the Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Kiss in the airport back in July. I used it the whole time I was on holiday and now this smell takes me back to lying by the pool in the Cyprus heat. I wish I was back there now! It is a light floral scent which was perfect for summer.

I have also really enjoyed using the Pixi Glow Tonic toner. It is so refreshing as it feels very hydrating. This product was perfect for when I was on holiday as I could use it a few times a day to freshen up my skin.



Finally, the last thing on my August favourites list (which may be my ultimate favourite)... I got semi permanent eyelash extensions done for my summer holiday this year and they were simply a dream. I got Nouveau individual lash extensions at Sorelle Beauty in Darlington. These lashes were AMAZING while I was on holiday as I did not have to worry about eye makeup at all. Being able to wake up in the morning with my lashes looking perfect was a god sent. The lashes lasted around 2 weeks before needing an infill. I have been getting them done ever since (which reminds me... I need an infill ASAP!). I would highly recommend Sorelle Beauty salon to anyone who wants a good pamper. The staff are lovely and ensure that all your needs are met to have the most relaxing experience possible.

March Favourites

21 March 2017

It has been quite a while since I have done a favourites post! I have been using these products for a few months now and I have grown to like them quite a lot.



When it comes to perfume I am quite fussy. I don't like anything too strong or too sweet. My boyfriend got me the MAC Velvet Teddy perfume for Christmas and I have been using it way too much since! This is one of the six new fragrances MAC introduced last season, all of which are inspired by their cult favourite lipsticks. The perfume is housed in a frosted glass bottle with a square cap and the colour of the bottle matches the colour of the lipstick. This scent is definitely the most unique of this six fragrances. It has a light musky scent with notes of honey. This perfume suits my taste perfectly as it has spicy notes which balance the sweetness of the honey. 



Now this palette quickly became a firm favourite of mine. The colours are so glittery and pigmented, I LOVE it. The palette includes a wide range of vibrant colours, which some are out of most peoples comfort zone. However, these colours are actually really easy to work with and create amazing looks. I will be doing a separate post soon on how I use these incredible shades.


If you have read some of my previous posts around December time you will know that I quickly became obsessed with the UD glitter liner in the shade Distortion! I was browsing the UD counter and I could not resist this pink glitter, as at the moment I am all about the burgundy pink eye looks. It goes so well with the shade Element from the Moondust palette. These glitters are so easy to work with and really make your look stand out. I can't get enough of 'em!


Now this is a miracle in a pen! This concealer works wonders as it banishes under eye circles and brightens up them annoying 'I need more sleep' bags (bane of my life). It is suitable for all skin types and there is a variety of shades available. I have shade 1.5 as it has yellow tones to cancel out purples. The applicator is a brush which is perfect for touch ups on the go, but if I am sat doing my makeup I brush it onto the back of my hand and apply with a beauty blender. I also adore the packaging of this concealer, it is so glam! I feel quite sophisticated whipping out this golden pen from my handbag. 


This is one skincare product which I always go back to as it has never failed me, ever. I love the process of using Cleanse and Polish as it really feels like your skin is completely fresh afterwards. You simply massage the cream into your skin and it breaks down any makeup or dirt. You then just wipe it away with a muslin cloth (which comes with the cleanser) and hot water. Simple as that. I got a Christmas edition of the product and it smells incredible! It has scents of pink pepper and mint, it is so refreshing to use on a morning.

Valentines Day Makeup

13 February 2017

Recently I have been so obsessed with pink and burgundy eye makeup. I have always questioned pink eyeshadows in the past as I have never really been able to pull it off. However, I have found some gorgeous shades that are so wearable and make your eyes really stand out. I have been waiting until Valentines Day to do a post on this look as I think the colours fit perfectly with the occasion!



I am going to start with the eyes because they are the most exciting thing about this look!

First I primed my lids with the MAC Pro Longwear concealer in the shade NW20 and set that with the Laura Mercier Translucent powder. I swear by this step when it comes to doing my eye makeup as it creates a nice even base for your eye shadow.

Next I used the MAC shade Dark Brew from the Warm Neutrals palette, which is a chocolate shade with red undertones. I blended that along my crease with the MAC 224 brush. This brush is the perfect blending brush as it is so big and fluffy. I also applied this shade to my lower lash line. Next I used one of my favourite eye shadows by Makeup Geek, Bitten, which is the perfect cranberry shade. I have used this eyeshadow SO much, I love it. I blended it across my whole lid with the Beau Belle blending brush. I took my time with this stage as I wanted the two shades to be perfectly blended together. Next I went back to the MAC Warm Neutrals palette and used the shade Dance in the Dark, which is a very dark chocolate colour. I applied this with the Beau Belle pencil brush right into the outer corner of my eye to add depth. I then took my 224 brush again and blended this into Bitten.



Next, I took my MAC Pro Longwear concealer on the flat Beau Belle brush and did a cut crease half way along my lid. For this step you need quite a sharp flat brush to create a perfectly smooth line in the crease. I patted on a small amount of the Laura Mercier powder over the concealer to make sure it was set. I then used my new favourite palette, the Urban Decay Moondust palette. It is absolutely stunning. It has a range of bright glittery colours which are so pigmented! I will be doing a separate post on how much I love this palette as I could go on forever about it! I used the shade Element, which is a gorgeous rose pink shade, in the centre of my lid where I cut the crease. I sprayed some MAC Fix+ onto a flat eyeshadow brush and patted it on. I then took the pale pink shade Specter and applied this to the inner part of my lid. I made sure the colours were blended together nicely but didn't let them go over the cut crease.

I used the MAC pigment pot in the shade Tan in the inner corners and blended this up into the Specter colour and also half way along my lower lash line. Now, for some extra sparkle I used the pink Urban Decay Heavy Metal glitter called Junkshow. I applied a small amount of the glittery gel over the Moondust eyeshadows. I then used the iridescent Heavy Metal glitter called Distortion in my inner corner over the Tan pigment. I totally recommend these glitters, they are just so eye catching and bring so much glam to a look.

I then used the Urban Decay black Razor Sharp Liquid liner to create a wing. Finally I added some wispy false lashes from MAC. These are the number 48 lashes and are very dramatic and have a mix of brown and black lashes so they blend nicely with your natural lashes.



Now for the face makeup!

For the foundation for this look I went with the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk in the shade 5.25. This foundation creates a lovely dewy and glowing finish, which is exactly how you want to look on Valentines Day! It just makes your skin look so flawless and youthful. For concealer I used the MAC Pro Longwear in the shade NW20 under my eyes and on my forehead. This concealer is perfect as it has great coverage and is really brightening. I set it in place with the Laura Mercier powder. I then used my favourite bronzing duo, which is the Soleil Tan de Chanel followed by the Tom Ford Soleil Bronzing Powder in the shade Terra. I know this is quite a pricey bronzing pair to have but, holy crap they are incredible. They make your skin glow and shine like nothing else! I then added a little bit of contour and highlight with the Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow palette.


For my brows, of course I used the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow in the shade medium brown. There's really no surprise there! I then set my brows with the Pixi Brow Tamer gel to keep them in place. I used the MAC Spice lip liner to outline my lips and then I the MAC matte lipstick in the shade Yash. I can't get enough of this lip duo at the moment, they are the perfect nude combination. I like how the Spice lip liner is darker and more pink than the Yash lipstick so they create almost an ombre effect when blended.

So, there is the complete look! I hope this Valentines Day look inspires you and gives you some ideas for your Valentines Day makeup. I am thinking about filming a tutorial for this look, so let me know what you think!
