Over the past few months I have become rather accustomed to wearing a full face of make-up in warm and deep berry tones, so in the new year I decided that I wanted to strip back and go for a fresh and more minimal make-up look.
Once I have completed my usual skincare routine, the last item that I apply is my & Other Stories Day Cream which offers my skin a very soft and smooth base to begin applying make-up onto. I then sweep the shade 'Walk of Shame' from the Naked Basics Palette across my lid to brighten up the eye area and sometimes add a little bit of 'Naked 2' into the crease for added definition. To really make my eyes look awake my number one beauty tool would be my eyelash curlers followed by my Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof Mascara which really helps to keep my eyelashes stay curled.
To obtain a fresh glow onto my skin I dab Benefit's Girl Meets Pearl Highlight across the high points of my face including cheekbones, bridge of my nose and cupids bow. I repeat this step twice: once under my concealer and foundation and once over the top as the product is very light. To finish off my face I place Tarte's Glisten Blusher (a gorgeous baby pink with a gold shimmer) onto the apple's of my cheek and hydrate my lips with EOS lip balm. The last product I use before I began my day is a spritz of Marc Jacob's Daisy Eau so Fresh Perfume which has a light florally scent.
At the end of the day, there's nothing more relaxing and comforting then taking a nice bubble bath. I begin by removing my make-up with my trusty Garnier Micellar Water with a cotton wool pad and pop Lush's Butter Bear into the bath as it is running. To create a calming atmosphere I sometimes light a candle, and Anthropologie's Capri Blue Candle has a lovely citrusy fresh scent.
