What's on my Face: The Birthday Edition!

Happy birthday to me! Gah, I'm nineteen, I feel so old! 

I've had a great day, done a fair bit of shopping and had lots of lovely presents, so at some point this week I'll show you what I got, but for today, just a quick my daily face post! 

This is kinda my go to look at the moment for day to day stuff!

So I start off with Benefit Porefessional and That Gal primers mixed together to create a dewy, yet long wearing base. I mix the two on my hand and then use my fingers to smooth it over my skin. I'm currently testing out the YSL Teint Touche Eclat foundation, in shade B10. This is a great gel based foundation that's got medium coverage and stays put all day. I use the Real Techniques Pointed foundation brush to apply this, I'm currently in love with this brush! 

Concealer wise, I use the Illamasqua Under Eye Concealer to mask those tell-tale bags from a sleepless night. I use the Real Tech. Detailer brush to apply it, and then blend it out with my fingers. It's a great concealer for brightening up the area, it doesn't give much coverage though! I'm still loving the MAC Studio Finish concealer for any blemishes, and around my nose area.

After that, I dust Rimmel's Stay Matte Powder in Translucent over my face to set, with the Real Tech Buffing brush. Love this stuff. Nothing else to say!

I did a little contouring today, using the Real Tech Contour brush to blend Elf's Warm Bronzer and MAC Archie's Girls Pearlmatte Face Powder in Flatter Me into my cheeks. Are you picking up a love for Real Tech yet?

Face done and I move onto the eyes. Using Benefit's Stay Don't Stray as a base, I cover my lid in NARS Frosted Ginger with my MAC 215 brush. This is a limited edition brush so I don't know if it's still available, but I love it! I then use the Real Tech Deluxe Crease brush to blend Shimmering Copper into the crease. Finish with lashings of my new YSL Shocking mascara (review coming soon).

Then, out comes the scary looking MAC Mineralize Lipstick in All Out Gorgeous. For a night out I'd swish this all around my lips nice and heavy, but for a day look I pat it gently into my lips, and use my Body Shop lip brush to even out the colour. 

Finish with a spritz of MAC Fix+!
