Meal out MOTD


Tonights plans were for a meal out (even though it didn't quite happen- long story) I decided for my first proper post I'd do a makeup of the day/night. Please excuse the bad photos- some were taken on my phone because my camera died and some are in terrible lighting, hopefully things will get better when I learn more about blogging.

On my face I used Rimmel wake me up foundation in 010 light porcelain, collection lasting perfection concealer in 01 fair and Urban decay's de-slick makeup setting spay (travel size).








I powdered with Soap and Glory's One heck of a blot and used Dior Rosy Glow Blush in 01 petal.














For my eyes I used Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr in 35 On and on Bronze as a base and added MAC eyeshadow satin taupe and then blended Benefit's 'Big Beautiful Byes' palette (liner colour) into the crease and slightly lined my lids with this shadow too.









I shaped my brows with Maybelline Browdrama in dark brown and added Le Volume De Chanel on my lashes.












 I used MAC plumful lipstick on my lips (I always make the mistake of wearing bold lips for meals out and regret my choice when I have lipstick on my chin! This subtle plum is a great compromise)

Finally- here my end result. Along with cute scrunchies that arrive from asos today. (I wore the blue one in my half ponytail)

Welcome

Hello. So, I'm Alex and I thought I'd give this blogging thing a go. Since I'm so into makeup and all things pretty I thought blogging would be a great place to put everything. Just for myself really. I don't want to come off as annoying or pretentious, I really don't know much about what I'm writing about (mainly beauty)- and I'm NOT a good writer, I'm dyslexic and all over the place. For these few reasons I'm not telling my friends about this blog. Anyway, I hope you few strangers reading (if that) enjoy my blog!

Bye x
