Bronzed face and eyes summer look


Sure summer is starting to come to an end but there is still time to pull out a gorgeous bronzed look! 


Firstly you need your base. I firstly applied a Benefit foundation stick (the purple one) to the areas I want highlight (catch the light) under my foundation, as we're going to be using a bronzer with this look. 

Secondly, I used Rimmel Match perfection foundation in the lightest colour because I am so pale! We add colour after.
Then conceal any areas you wish (even highlight) with concealer. I used the small MAC one in NW15.

Next I contoured with Sleek Face Form Palette in Light. This adds the bronzed look to your entire face. Start at your cheek bones and go right around to your temples to slim down the outer parts of your face. Also, putting bronzer on your under chin can minimise a double chin. 

Then I added some shimmer using my beloved MAC mineralise skin finish in Soft and Gentle.This completes your bronzed goddess face base!

Next! Eyes - (or you can do this earlier, what ever takes your fancy) 

I use this palette from H&M but any brown shadows will do. 

Apply a light brown all over your lid.










Next, on your crease and the outer parts of your eye lid simply add a darker brown (but not too dark) and blend it into the previous colour. You should be able to tell a small difference in the colour.













Then, add a small amount of really dark brown (you could even use a black) to your crease and blend that in. This will exaggerate the smokey eye and really add bronzed impact.








Then you can add pigment or a white shadow to under your brow bone to lighten up your look. Applying some brown shadow to the bottom of your eyes will really pull the look together so remember to do that! You can also add some eyeliner to add more impact.

My M.A.C make up collection

When I look at my MAC make up I get a little sad because I did actually used to have more than what I have now. I did a programme called BACK2MAC and that quote is on every MAC package when you open it up. Ever wondered what that means? From the MAC website.... 

'Because we share your commitment to the environment, M·A·C accepts returns of its primary packaging through the Back to M·A·C Program' The basic rule is that if you take back 6 empty products they will give you a free lipstick from the normal collections, so not the Nicki Minaj ones for example. But it's such a good deal! I had 3 empty foundation bottles and 3 empty fix+ sprays and getting a new lipstick to me sounded like a very nice idea. 

So anyway, before I babble on any further. I'm not going to talk through all of the products because that would take me ages! If you maybe like to see some single reviews, then let me know?



The two grey bottles are Fix+ sprays. I swear by these!
Both foundations (One in box, one not) are Studio Fix in NW10
Vanilla pigment 
Pro Longwear concealer in NC15
Nail lacquer in Saint Germain
Mineralise Skin Finish Natural in Light
Mineralise Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle - Amazing!
Blush in Stay Pretty
Blacktrack Fluid Line gel eyeliner
Eyeshadow in Expresso
Powder Blush from Rihanna's summer collection
Brush Cleanser.
Lipsticks - Saint Germain, Ruby Woo, Snob, Up The Amp, Creme Cup, RiRi Boy, Captive.

Random turned to massive philosophical idea about the web

I have no idea what this post is about or anything. I haven't been on here for quite a while because basically... I cant use it. Maybe if my blog looked pretty or something I would have more motivation to do posts. But no body looks on my blog. I use Tumblr much more, and I finally reached 4,000 followers on Instagram. Its weird because I've had Instagram for 3 years, but only started posting the stuff I do now about 2 months ago. So I went from 400 followers to 4,000 in 2/3 months. Its crazy! I love all my followers on any website a unconditional amount. Safe to say I have more or less no followers on all other things as I do compared to on Instagram. I think the web is a wonderful thing. I cant imagine growing up with out it. Even when I was younger, and Piczo, Bebo and MySpace was all the range, its the fact it was still there. Pushing the boundaries of modern society. I remember when we first got internet, AOL. It was such a hassle sorting it all out, and my lord was it slow. But I was addicted. There was different popular sites. I remember Piczo was my first, and I might even have to say my favourite. It was amazing, you made your own website and not like Tumblr or this or anything. From scratch.. No themes or anything. You had a blank white screen and a creative 10 or 11 year old mind and crazy ideas for URLS such as PwincessAbby-x or PoisonKissesxo. But this generation, we are the generation that started it all off. And I for one am proud of it.
