September seems to be going on forever. Well that's what it feels like to me. I think its because besides the odd warm day here and there, winter has well and truly continued right throughout the first month of spring. I'm trying to adjust my makeup to make the transition into spring but the deep reds and berry lipsticks are constantly on my mind. So alas, I give you my perfect makeup routine for this in-between season.
Nars Sheer Glow (Punjab)
I think I really love this foundation. It is not a sheer coverage as the name suggests but is actually quite a medium coverage which can easily be built up to full. My biggest problem with foundation at the moment is finding the perfect colour match and this Nars foundation hits the mark. It's perfect! It really does give you a dewy/glowy finish which I adore yet remain a little bit fearful as my skin is combination to oily. But so far so good.
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer (Medium 3)
Ive seen so many glowing reviews on this concealer and I think Im about to jump on the bandwagon. When I first received this I was a little bit worried as it was probably a little bit lighter than what I would have liked and the smell was sort of...paint like. But after a few goes I think this is perfect for my under eye concealer as it brightens under my eye (unintentionally) and definitely makes me look more awake and covers my under eye darkness!
Nyx Blush (Amber)
This is the great pigmented blush to give you a natural flush. I once read on my favourite blog the beauty department that amber coloured blushes are great for my skin tone. Such a good quality blush for cheap.
Laura Mercier Brow Pencil (Blonde)
Im not the one for overdrawn brows or brows that are coloured in so dark that they look like black boxes above the eyes, so this brow pencil suits me wonderfully. I naturally have dark brows to the point they are black but I think this works perfectly to fill them in without making them over powering.
Chanel Rouge Allure (Fatale)
I've had this lipstick sitting in my collection for almost 4 years now (I know, thats gross! But it's Chanel and I refused to chuck it out). I am glad I have it because only now am I starting to realise how amazing it is. I don't think I ever had the confidence to pull off deep berry shades or red shades but this rouge allure is so versatile. With a light hand it can be quite a natural colour and with a bit of patting on the lips, it almost could pass as a stain. With multiple applications this lipstick can be quite rich and luxurious and perfect for a night out. I love it. I wish I had more opportunities to wear it.
