It’s day four of my week of blogs and I’m loving posting up more blogs than normal! Let me know which ones you like better and I can do more of that type? Hopefully there is something for everyone this week.

Steps….
- Prep the lips with the lip butter.
- Apply foundation and concealer. I apply concealer under my eyes and on any red areas. Because I am quite pale, I find the ivory shade works well on most areas of my face. Then set my face with a little powder.
- Apply a bit of bronzer to the cheekbones and anywhere you catch the sun. I apply it around my forehead, and the outer edges of my face. I also like to apply it under my jaw bone for more definition.
- Apply blusher to the cheekbones and apples of your cheeks, bringing the product towards the side of your face.
- Prime the brows and apply a bit of eyebrow pencil. Set the brows with the eyebrow gel.
- Blend in the eye shadow primer with your fingers on your eyelids. Use the eye shadows in the areas mentioned above. I used an eyeshadow to create a softer eye liner too.
- Apply bottom lash and top lash mascara.
- Use the highlighter on the cheekbones, cupid’s bow and underneath the eye brows.
- Apply the lipstick.
- Finally use the setting spray to set this makeup look.
