My Makeup: Injecting Some Colour

As much as I'm into beauty and keep up with the trend I find it very difficult to apply the trends I read about to my everyday makeup or hair. When reading about the pastel makeup trend my original plan was to do a full blown pastel look, so off I went, purchased some pastel eyeshadaows and had play. After my little experimentation with the shades of mint green, baby blue and pastel pink I came to the conclusion the pastel trend was not for me. The truth is, unless it's a neutral shade, it's not going on my eyelid. So pastels and I ended up meeting half way, an eyeliner pencil that I would and have actually worn out the house. A purple shade, to enhance my brown eyes by Barry M named Super Soft Eye Crayon in No.5. I absolutely love the texture of this pencil, it's very creamy, very long lasting and really blendable, with slight shimmer. As for the rest of my face I kept it pretty neutral, just the usual products here! 

Skin
- Shu Uemura UV Under Base Mousse - my daily favourite for a sun protecting makeup base (full review here)
- Dior Nude NudeSkin Foundation - a great daily wear as it's mineral and lasts well on my skin
- By Terry Touche Veloutee Concealer - I couldn't rave about this stuff enough! Full coverage, very light on the skin and an overall lovely texture. (Full review here)
- Nars Blush in Orgasm - A daily favourite of mine for a pink flush (post and dupe here)

Eyes
- Trish McEvoy Eye Essentials Base all over the lid to even out the skin tone
- Barry M pencil in 05 around the inner corner and bringing it round into the upper and lower lash line
- Mac Omega Eyeshadow applied with a fluffy blending brush to the crease for some definition
- Mascara is my usual favourite, Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill which I raved about in full detail here

Lips 
Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector in 01 (review here)
