As I may have mentioned in a previous post I have horribly dry but oily and spot prone skin. But recently I think I have found a skin care routine that is actually working (touch wood) so I haven't been wearing much makeup purely because for the fist time in what feels like forever I actually don't need to! So this is makeup I'v been wearing to school and because I do a lot of dance this is the makeup that I always wear for that regardless of what my skin decides its doing because it always stays put.
First I put concealer under my eyes, on any redness and on spots and blemishes. I use the much loved Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer because it has great coverage, isn't heavy at all and stays all day. I set that with the Avon Colour Trend Translucent Powder which is my favourite because its translucent so doesn't make your face look powdery and helps keep the concealer in place. Even when I'm just dancing I do like to fill in my eyebrows because they never look very full unless I'v just had them threaded. I use the Models Prefer Eyebrow Pencil and I literally fill in as little as possible or else it takes a while for me to get them even. For school I do also run my clear mascara through my brows to keep them neat. For my eyes I only wear mascara. I love the Models Own Hi-Definer Lashed-Up Volumiser Mascara in black because it reminds me of my favourite Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara which I do wear sometimes but the Models Own one is just as good and a lot cheaper! WIN! I only use that on my top lashes and I use the Avon Crystal Clear Mascara (I know it doesn't look clear but sometimes I use it over black mascara so that's why) on my bottom lashes. This prevents any mascara getting under your eyes through out the day and is a great thing to do if your going to be doing any exercise. Lastly I just use a Maybeline BabyLips lip balm on my lips. My favourite at the minute is the shimmery Peach Kiss but I also love Pink Punch.
I know we keep saying it but now all our exams for the year are done fingers crossed me and Alicia can post more regularly and I cant wait to start Christmas posts! I might do a skin care post next because as I mentioned I actually found one that works!
