Spent two final grueling hot days digging for shop goods last week and managed to pick up a few things for me!

Our time away from home is drawing to an end and I am most excited to get back into familiar routine. Once home I promise more substantial updates, for now I'll leave you with an excellent update from Always the Forest on cooking up your own natural blush! I gave it a shot last night and was surprisingly pleased with the results! If you have any more natural make-up secrets up your sleeve I'd love to hear them!

FAQ 004

i've received a few emails and comments regarding my make-up application so i thought i would share with you two make-up looks and their steps! long ago in a life before i was a make-up artist and would occasionally instruct people (in the flesh and online) how to apply their own make-up. please feel free to ask any questions regarding your own beauty regime and i will do my best to scrape my memory for answers. 

step 1: naked face! applied evan healy's blue chamomile day moisturizer (heavenly, her whole line is perfect!) then bare minerals powder foundation and brushed my lips with my toothbrush to remove dry skin.
step 2. applied intense red lipstick by make up for ever and used an angle brush (from my paint set, hehe) to dust a light gold shadow at the lash line and beneath corners of my eyes.
step 3. all done! 
look 2!
step 1. applying nars orgasm on the apples of my cheeks in little circular motions. 
step 2. using my dodgy angle brush again to apply a dark brown shadow at my lash line and winging it out a bit so i know where to go with the liquid liner. 
step 3. applied liquid liner starting at the center of my lash line and working out very lightly! i prefer to use a watercolour style liquid liner (where you add the water yourself and apply with a wee brush). next, curling lashes! 
step 4. a sneaky trick to lip enhancement! highlight your pout with a white eyeliner. just a little though so as not to look like a milk advert. 
step 5. another lip tip! shadow your cupids bow very lightly with a pale brown liner or eye shadow.
