What's On My Face #1

What's On My Face #1
I guess this is a similar post to my 'What's in my makeup bag' post I did previously. Except an updated version. These products are what I'm loving at the moment...


My first WOMF! The products above achieve a lovely dewy face, which is right on trend!

I firstly start by using L'Oreal Lumi Magique primer all over my face. This gives a really glowy look as the particles in it are very shimmery and pearl like. For my foundation I am using Benefits Hello Flawless foundation. It is a lovely light coverage foundation, but still covers any imperfections. It is a very natural, radiant looking foundation once on your skin. I then apply Benefits Sun Beam with a Mac 187 on my cheeks, and lightly dust over my face to make it more luminous and add a bit more colour to my face. Once that has dried a little, I apply Nars Laguna Bronzer to warm my face up nicely, and in the hollows of my cheeks for a more contoured look. For my blush, I am using Maybelline's Dream Touch Blush in Peach, on the apples of my cheeks. I prefer cream blushes when I am going for a much more radiant look as they give a more natural finish. Lastly on my cheekbones I apply MAC Soft & Gentle to highlight.
On my eyes, I apply a base of Maybelline's Color Tattoo in the shade 05- Eternal Gold. In the crease and outer of my eyelid, I apply another Color Tattoo in the shade 35- On and on Bronze. To line my eye, I apply L'Oreal Super Liner just along my lash line. Finally, I coat my eyelashes a couple of times with Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara. I love this mascara because it adds volume and length, without making my eyelashes clump!

Let me know how you get on when trying out this look.
Lots of love xx
