I adding some new photos to my Make-up Portfolio. This is my model that I have taken photos of, and here are the before and after pictures! This is my beautiful cousin Katie who has perfect skin, but she was a little bothered by her dark under eye area.
What products were used?
Foundation: Katie has an olive skin tone, and has slightly oily skin. For Katie's foundation i decided to go for Revlon Colorstay foundation for combination/oily skin in the shade True Beige. This drugstore foundation is so affordable yet it has amazing coverage! What i love most about this foundation is that is is long wearing. This will last you the whole day/night and still looks like you just applied it.
Concealer: I used 2 concealers on Katie. Mac Pro Longwear concealer is great for the under eye area because it doesn't crease! I used the shade NC20 which is much lighter shade than her skin tone but i wanted to brighten up this area too! The next concealer was in fact a mixture of shades from my Coastal Scents Camouflage palette. This are full coverage concealers but because of their creamy consistency there are easy to blend to give a lighter coverage. I bought a lighter shade of this concealer down the bridge of Katie's nose and a darker shade the sides of her nose.
Brows: I used a Mac eyeshadow in the shade Charcoal Brown. I love this shade for medium-dark brows. I actually use this on myself too! Katie has a good shape to her brows already so it was pretty easy to fill them in to make them look a little fuller! I was asked to give a more arch to the brow and slightly square the start of the brow.
Eyes: Katie's eye make-up is very natural. Some bronze-gold shades are great for everyday wear. For a base i used Butterfudge. in the crease was Dance In The Dark, in the outer V was a little Carbon just to give a little extra definition and i added some Amber lights to the centre of the lid. For highlighting the brow bone i used Shroom. Next is eyeliner. I used one of my most go-to eyeliners and that is ELF's black eyeliner. It's so cheap yet i find myself going back to it all the time! Katie didn't want to wear any mascara with this look.
Lips: I wan't to bring something different to this look so i thought i would add Mac's lipstick in Up The Amp. I love this purple shade and it suits so many skin tones! With the top Katie was wearing, it matched perfectly.
Cheeks: I didn't go wild with contouring on Katie because i wanted this look to be very natural. Contouring her cheekbones slightly i used Sleek contour kit. On the apples of her cheeks i used a light dusting of a peach blush by ELF called Peachy Keen.

Glossybox: July 2014
![]() |
![]() July Glossybox: First things first, how cute is this packaging! I have been subscribed to Glossybox for a while now and i enjoy getting surprises every month! The great thing about this months box is that all the products are full size. BUT.... I am slightly disappointed because the theme of the box is Stars & Stripes and the products are based in America, but most of these products are available in the UK. I wanted to try some products that i wouldn't be able to buy here! I can not wait to try the NYC felt liner, i have already swatched it and it looks very promising. The Bellapierre lipstick is beautiful too, even though the brand is getting a bit to regular in most of the boxes i receive. The Color Club nail varnish i received is in the shade Glossy Seal. i really like the colour, but i don't think it is 'summery'. I will definitely wear it, but i'm disappointed i didn't get a bright or pastel shade. Carmex lip products are great and one of my go-to lip balms. i have many in my collection but it's still great to have a back-up. Im excited to try out the Absolute Eyeshadow primer too! I haven't really tried many primers as i tend to stick to the one i have (Urban decay primer potion) but this one looks interesting and this is an American brand so exciting to try something new! 1. Carmex Lip balm: Can be found here 3 for 2 offer on all Carmex products 2. NYC Liquid eyeliner: Can be found here 3. Color Club nail varnish 'Glossy Seal' -Not able to find. 4. Absolute eyeshadow primer: Can be found here 5. Bellapierre lipstick 'Cat Walk': Can be found here Wait? you haven't subscribed to Glossybox yet?
