New Bobbi Brown Brushes- My make-up routine.

It took me about an hour to do my makeup today as I received my new Bobbi Brown brushes!! Exciting!! They are so amazing its an 10 piece set.
                                                  So here's a few before and after pics...


Before any make-up, i used a baby wipe to take off any old make-up.
I have quite a few freckles which i do like them theres just so many of the darn things. I also have very dark circles under my eyes which i definately like to cover up!!




Products i used were:
  • L'oreal Paris The foundation True Match, i mixed it this time with Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish as i had a little bit left over, it was a lighter colour than the L'oreal so therefore it matched my skin tone slightly better than usual ( i bought the L'oreal foundation in the summer so my complexion had paled )  So i applied that with my new foundation brush to my whole face starting with my nose and worked my way out.
  • i then applied with my blending brush Benefits Get Even  face powder, it blots away shine and discoloration, just in case my foundation has a slight shine on it. It makes my face a great canvas to start on. 



  • OK so i sported a slight scouse brow today lol! I had sharpened my brown eyeliner pencil ( just a cheapy brown eye pencil )  which i use for my eyebrows as i don't see the point in spending out on separate eyebrow pencil as it seems the eyeliner does the job if not better...when i don't apply too much lol.
  • With my bronzing brush i applied my Natural Collection bronzing pearls in upwards strokes onto my cheek bone ( mine don't seem to exist....)
  • Then a little bit of pink blusher over the top to not make it look so....bronzed, again from the natural collection range. ( they're such great prices....like £1.99 each for most of their products!! ) 
  • I picked up a brilliant L'oreal eye-shadow compact, it has three colours inside, a creamy colour, a light brown and a darker brown....so you can do a smokey eye effect...
  1. I firstly applied the light cream colour to the whole of my eyelid all the way upto my eyebrow,
  2. Secondly the lighter brown to the boney part that is just above the eye socket,
  3. Finally added the darker brown to just the outside of my eye socket and underneath my eye. Just like this...



  • Lastly I applied No 7 liquid eyeliner in black, all along the edge of my eye and underneath, more at the corner of my eye. Then my amazing mascara which is made by Bourjois Volume Clubbing, this is my fave mascara because its so easy to apply with a large brush and it really makes a difference, plus it doesn't flake off.
