Sarah does make up...sometimes.

I got a little bored after coming in from work this afternoon and I decided to try out some make up looks. I'm not very good at doing eye shadow, I find it quite complicated sometimes and I end up looking like a bit of a mess; but I recently purchased some new make up and I've been keen to try it

This is the first time using the brand Revolution; I've heard some good things about them and with this palette at only £6, there couldn't be any harm in trying it out. 

The palette I picked up is called Salvation Palette: What You Waiting For? I picked this one up as the light and rosy tones of the shimmer shadows appealed to me. I quite like lighter, shimmery eye shadow; however, it also comes with more brown and earthy tones too if I also wanted to create a smoky eye effect.

So I used the Scary Conversation shadow for the base. For just £6, I am incredibly impressed by how pigmented the shadow is. I lightly went over the shade with my brush and it came out so well on my eyes. It's worth mentioning that beforehand, I did use the Benefit - Stay Don't Stray primer on my eyelids and just below my eyes. This is an amazing product in itself, it always keeps my shadow on all day. I also sometimes use the MUA Pro-Base version which is incredibly cheap and also does a good job.

I used the lighter coloured shimmer shades on my eyelids and filled my eyebrows with ABH dipbrow

I used a rimmel liquid eyeliner and mac lipstick in heroine, a matte purple colour
I then added the shade "Moving Car" to the outside of my eyes, I added MAC mascara for my lashes and also MAC lipstick in Heroine..the eye shadow looks more purple in person so I thought this would be a good lipstick to pair it with. I finished with a touch of the matte shade from the palette called "Brand New Fans" in my eyebrows and went over it with my Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow pomade in Blonde. I'm also not great with my eyebrows yet. 

I'm in no shape particularly great at make up. I just thought it'd be interesting to write down my process!

I used MAC's heroine to finish off my look as well as using a curling wand to add waves to my hair
I curled my hair and completed my look! I love it here.

I added a striped slash neck horizontal striped top from collectif, belt from primark and a skirt also from primark

I changed out of my work clothes and into a little outfit I threw together.

Top - Collectif
Belt - Primark
Skirt- Primark

I NEED A FRINGE CUT ASAP!
