AHHH finally another uniform post! It's 3am and I've only just finished my revision for today and I am so incredibly drained. But I decided to give myself a kick in the ass for always delaying things and procrastinating so even though I may be exhausted and I feel like a shriveled up prune - onwards with this outfit post I say.
Hello lovelies!
So sorry for the long absence - I am one week away from my semester two exams and then I just have to get through the big old terrifying WACE exams AND THEN I'M FREE! 14 exams away from freedom, what a crazy thought. But today I had a rush of guilt for abandoning this blog for so long, so I took a break from revision, slapped on some make up and set up my camera to show you guys a trend that I've recently fallen in love with - The Neckerchief.
Hello lovelies! I have finally gotten through my
mid year exams and the last two weeks have been so incredibly stressful but
walking out of my final exam on thursday felt so SO GOOD. I can finally think
of other things besides equations and quotes and facts and figures so yesterday
I took the day off to relax and I am back with a new outfit post!
First of all - I apologize for my sudden absence in the last week. School got very hectic and I am being overloaded with tests and assessments all at once however on the plus side, I am halfway through my first term back so soon I'll get two weeks off to focus on blogging!
A few weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to be sent this INCREDIBLE 'Must Have Professional Brush Set' by the wonderful people over at Furless Cosmetics. This is not my first time trying Furless products as I have been a big fan of their cruelty free and vegan friendly beauty products for quite some time so I was super excited to be able to try this brush set out. It retails online for $149.95 and the brushes come in a handy little brush apron that is perfect for travelling or if you do freelance makeup.
(ps: all the brushes in the set are available for individual purchase - just click on the names of each brush for a direct link to that individual brush)
1. I did my regular base routine to even out my skin tone - I used my Face It Radiance Concealer under my eyes and on any blemishes and set it all with my L'oreal Translucide Powder in Light.
2. Next up I primed my eyes and eyeshadow is optional for this, but I just swept a warm toned medium brown all over the lid to add more dimension and emphasise the eyes.
3. As for eyeliner, I stuck to my holy grail Clio Kill Black Liquid Eyeliner to create a winged eyeliner look. I took the line past the inner corner of my eye for a more elongated look and also made sure to thicken the eyeliner in the middle portion of my eye to try to balance it out by making the eyes look slightly more open.
4. Do your brows and apply mascara as per usual - you can use dramatic falsies for a more bold look.
5. Next up, I literally piled on the bronzer. Using my NYC smooth skin sunny bronzer, I used an angle brush to apply the powder slightly above where you would usually contour. This gives the appearance of lifted cheekbones. Once you've put on enough product and the bronzer is prominent, blend out the edges and add white dots on top of the bronzer with a white kajal eyeliner pencil.
6. Use a black kajal eyeliner pencil to create the nose by colouring in the tip of your nose in.
7. Draw a straight line down from the centre of the nose where you have filled it in and connect it to the middle of your cupid's bow.
8. Fill in your top lip with the black eyeliner to complete the look.
