NEUTRAL SERIES| MOROCCAN GLOW

It has been a while since I last did a post, been a busy girl at work. I have finally had a day off to show you the treats I have purchased recently as it's pay day for me! I decided to take a trip to my local boots store as I am planning a night out soon. At the moment the smoky neutral eye is a favourite of mine, and I can never have enough neutral colours. I am decided every week I am going to post with different neutral eye looks along with a lip colour. Personally I love how flattering neutral colours are and how well they suit me with the hair colour I currently have.

Steps to your Moroccan glow look

Face products:
Revolution Primer
Mac Foundation Pro Longwear NW20 applied with Mac Foundation brush 187
Naked Urban Decay Flushed to contour my cheek bone, jaw line + outer forehead
Rimmel Hide the Blemish concealer to highlight under my eyes, forehead and nose blended with No.7 beauty blender

Eyes and Eyebrows Products: For this section I will do a step by step how to apply the eye make-up.

1. I used BarryM primer and applied to the whole of my lid.
2. Using my No.7 eye colour brush I applied No.7 Starry Lights to the whole of my lip as a base colour.
3. To create the look use No.7 Moroccan sands and use a blending brush and gently apply from the corner of your eye over to the inner corner.
4. To add depth to the look apply any dark shade of brown and apply into the crease and outer corner.
5. If you want to add more glam to the look, I added colour tattoo maybelline gel-cream eye-shadow to the line of my eye.
6. Mac black eye-liner to create cat eye.
7.Eyebrows- Rimmel Brow Pro Medium Brown

Lip Products:
A new favourite of mine Maybelline New York sweet pink 132 lip liner with Rimmel 725
tantalizing taupe its a beautiful nude colour, the first one I have managed to match to my own lip colour - its long lasting too!

NEUTRAL SERIES | SMOKEY BRONZE

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 Cardif 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.

NEUTRAL SERIES | GOLD PASSION

This look was inspired by the festive seasons. I have decided to show you a look which you can use for going out with your friends/family or to a nice restaurant/bar on a date night, I recently used this look to go out for a meal at a lovely restaurant, I really loved it as it’s a look which quite often goes with clothes in any colour.

I recently bought some new products Maybelline Eye shadow colour tattoo 24hr and GOSH nougat crisp lip liner to match with GOSH 122 nougat lipstick so this first time I’ve tried them out, to find out how I created this look read below.

How did I create this light glam look you might ask?

To create my light glam eye look, I applied the Maybelline eye shadow cream gel gold onto the base of my eyelid. I then took my Bourjois eye shadow pallet using a dark brown shade into my crease and blended it out to the top of my eye brow. I then used my Bourjois pallet and used the glitter beige colour to blend with Maybelline eye shadow to give it a sparkle. I used my real technique shading brush to blend the two colours. To finish the look I used mac black track fluid line and used my mac 209 brush to draw the eyeliner on. I haven’t used any fake eyelashes as fortunately my eyelashes are long already, the mascara I used to create a long lash look was Maybelline the colossal volum' express.

To get the lip look I simply used the products listed below but to add an ombre look I used Rimmel 110 lipstick to highlight the outline of my lips.

So this is a look which can be used to wear smart/casual clothes or a look you can have for a light glam at a bar or restaurant with friends/partner. In my next beauty post I will also show you the products I use for my face and contouring.

Hope you all love this look, comment below to share your thoughts with just jodie.
