Makeup of the Moment #002
Hello :)
I've been wearing less makeup recently so haven't looked interesting enough to show you all, but I do wear a full face to work so that is what I have for you today. The sun was ACTUALLY shining while I did my makeup but hid away again when I took photos - probably for the best as it was shining straight in my window and I would have had window frame shaped shadows on my face.
It's not particularly fancy, I mainly focus on something that isn't going to fade badly so pretty simple, with an emphasis on my skin (which is looking pretty good at the moment, touch wood).
The foundation is a tad too dark for my skin but does last all day, save for some inevitable fade around my nose which seems to be where foundation goes to die.
This is a pretty simple and natural look that isn't over the top which is not especially interesting blogging but is however more appropriate for my job.
Would you like to see more posts like this?

When I lay it all out it looks like less than I thought - it feels like I put more on!
Bourjois 123 Perfect foundation - I'm shade 51
Collection Lasting Perfection concealer - the lightest shade
Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder - again, the lightest shade
MUA Bronzed Perfection as contour and blended around my eyes
ELF Studio Blush in Tickled Pink
Natural Collection blush in Peach Melba - kind of between my contour and the ELF blush
No7 Highlighter - it was from a Spring collection last year (?)
MUA eye primer
Sleek Au Naturel palette (Taupe, Cappucino, Nougat & Regal on the eyes and Bark for brows - ironic after my ode to MUA shade 19 on Monday)
L'oreal Volume Million Lashes mascara
Soap & Glory SuperCat pen liner
Natural light - and messy background!
Flash and paleface - but at least matchy matchy with my neck.

Shopping my Stash #001
Greetings!
I have rather too much makeup and so will be 'shopping my stash' everyweek so often to dig out some products that I need to get some more use out of! Hopefully, success and daylight permitting, I can then post some pictures of my face with my stash shopped products on. That sentence doesn't make much sense, does it? On with the show!
Sleek Mediterranean palette and MUA Pro Heaven and Earth palette.
I do love both these palettes but they have both just fallen by the wayside. The Sleek I used a lot in the summer last year and, looking at it, a lot of he colours are very appropriate for Autumn too. The Heaven and Earth is full of such pretty shimmery colours but when I bought the Undressed palette I kind of forgot about this one. No more! Expect to see this on my face very soon.
Boots Natural Collection blush in Peach Melba and MUA Blush in shade 4.
Peach Melba is matte and the MUA has a more satin finish. These are both cheap and cheerful so I bought them on impulse then haven't used them much which is unfair because they are really pretty! Peach Melba would work as a contour and blush in one for when I'm lazy and the MUA is a really pretty pink blush.
Body Shop Christmas 2011 lip balms and Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick shade 26.
These lip balms are all cosy Christmas scents so I haven't used them at all since last year! All smell gorgeous and have slight shimmer and colour in, while being nice and moisturising at the same time. The lipstick is a shade that looks a bit funny with my skin tone so I'm going to try and layer it under some lip balms and glosses.
Well, we shall have to see how this goes, won't we? I love the idea of digging out unloved products and giving them some use, I just hope I don't fall into the same tempting everyday looks that I am doing at the moment.
Do you do anything like this?
Cheery-bye!

FOTD: Everyday face
Greetings!
Today I thought I'd show you my face. Sorry about that.
This is my everyday makeup of the moment (I change it fairly regularly) and I am really liking it. I feel like it works with my hair colour and suits the weather. I am having to go quite heavy on foundation and concealer and the like because I am having a bad skin phase that I think has something to do with the changing weather *shakes fist*.
- Boots 17 Miracle Matte foundation
- Collection 2000 Stay Perfect concealer
- Maybelline Dream Matte pressed powder (My perfect powder, which they've discontinued. Life.)
- Boots 17 blush in Plum Puff
- Soap&Glory Archery brow tint and pencil in Brownie Points
- MUA pro eye primer
- Sleek Paraguaya palette shades Bittersweet, Blush, Sandstone and Stone
- Soap&Glory Supercat pen eyeliner
- Collection 2000 Skylash mascara
This was taken when I got home and I forgot to reapply lip products (bad Sylvie) but I would only have been wearing a balm. A Christmassy ginger one, to be precise, but the point is it barely shows up anyway.
So, that is my face. I like this look because I do love a good eyeliner flick but this softens that whole look. I also use a more autumny coloured blush which doesn't really work in the summer but does look good with this hair.
As I have quite a lot of makeup, and get bored fairly quickly, I am sure you will be seeing another 'Everyday Face' soon enough.
What makeup are you wearing now Autumn has set in?
Cheery-Bye!
