Birthday Make-Up
12:00
FACE
To get things started, I prime my skin using the L'Oreal Infallible Matte Primer all over my face to keep things locked in place. I then use the Seventeen Skin Wow! 3 Way Highlighter all over my face to give a luminous, light from within look that will shine through my foundation and stop it looking too flat. I'll then go in to cover any blemishes and redness using the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - Fair and use the L'Oreal Lumi Magique Highlighter Pen - Light in a V shape under my eyes to conceal any dark circles. It's absolutely no surprise what foundation I'll be using as it's my beloved L'Oreal Infallible Matte Foundation - Porcelain as I can count on it for coverage and longevity, while not looking heavy. I'll then take my Urban Decay Flushed Palette - Streak and use the blusher and bronzer, ensuring that I use the bronzer in a 3 shape motion. I'll also use the bronzer to create a very subtle contour just under my cheekbones. I'll then use my theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer Luminizer to highlight my cheekbones and ever so slightly down my nose. To blend everything in and keep it in place, I'll use the Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder - Vanille as it's non-cakey and keeps shine at bay.
EYES
To make sure my eye make-up stays put, I'll start by using the Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow - Bikini Tini as a primer because it doesn't budge and as a neutral base because I'll be using shades from the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette. The shades I'm going to use are Nooner all over the lid, Trick in the middle and Mugshot in the outer corners. I'm then going to use the theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer Luminizer again and use it as an inner corner highlight and brow bone highlight. I'm then going to use the Rimmel Soft Kohl Eyeliner - Jet Black to line and define my upper and lower lash lines. I'll then curl my eyelashes and put on two coats of Benefit They're Real! Mascara, letting my lashes dry between each coat for extra staying power. I'll then use the Collection Fast Stroke Eyeliner to create my signature winged eyeliner look. For brows, I'll use the Soap & Glory Archery 2-In-1 Brow Pencil & Brush - Blondeshell because it gives a natural, yet defined look.
LIPS
To finish off my make-up, I'll lightly line my lips using the GOSH Velvet Touch Lipliner - Antique Rose as it's the perfect match for my natural lip colour. I'll then apply my favourite lipstick, MAC Lipstick - Please Me as it's matte, yet creamy and not drying.
