NEUTRAL SERIES | SMOKEY BRONZE

Inspired by Vogue created by Just Jodie

I've been make-up shopping again, oh what a surprise, I just can't stop myself from walking into my new favourite shop Beauty Studio by Superdrug exclusive to Cardiff St.Davids 2. The girls are so helpful and friendly in there couldn't fault the service! I went in there to find some nice eye-shadow palette's which look good for less! I purchased Revolution Redemption Palette Iconic 3 which I have really pleased with how it looks and it only costs £4! 

This look is really natural as its the new look to have, as quoted by vogue "I think that effortlessness is the key word for next season. Less is more. It definitely isn't about trying to hard". 

Taken vogues new inspiration this is the look I created Natural Hair and Make-up.

This look is all about looks for less and natural. I used my Revolution redemption palette Iconic 3 and used colour no.2 and colour no.12. I started by applying colour no.2 to whole of my eye lid and into my crease. To make the colour pigment look better, I applied a bit of water to my new techniques shading brush, this just defines the colour on to your skin. Taking a dry new techniques shading brush I took no.12 and started to blend from the corner of my eye into the crease to create a smoky look. I tend to apply this lightly and slowly add more, remember more is less! To finish the look I used colour no.1 the white highlighter and applied underneath my brow. To define my eye brows I used Rimmel London eyebrow pencil 002 Hazel. This look is so quick and easy to do, I used this look to go to work its nothing over the top its a look which is natural. 

I even decided to get the natural hair look that day too, if I'm honest I love my natural hair, its a style I have been doing a lot lately. I love getting natural waves, my hair is naturally straight/waved, to get beautiful waves I used certain products. Whilst washing my hair I like to use L'oreal Elvive Colour Protect Shampoo and conditioner, I have recently dyed my hair ombre colour which meant I had to use bleach. To protect my hair from hair dye and redeem colour, I also use L'oreal Elvive Colour Protecting Masque, which I apply on wet hair, leave it in for 3 mins and rinse out generously, leaving a smooth feel to your hair. Without fail my favourite product which defines my perfect natural waves is Garnier Ultimate Blends Oil which I use a few drops of and apply all over, mostly on the tips of my hair. This oil is great as it helps to nourish and protect my hair as well as giving me a natural hair look. They say its not good practice to go to bed with wet hair but I do and then by the morning my hair is wavey and dry, that's just a personal opinion, I know some cant do this.
