Mauve Make Up Look

Hi Everyone! 

In todays post I will be talking to you about how I created this simple Mauve toned make up look using a mix of drugstore and high end products, perfect for either the daytime or nighttime.

Last week I went out to a concert for the evening and decided I would like to keep my make up fairly neutral with a touch of mauve and brown tones.

Products Used:

Loreal: Lumi Magic Primer 

Mac: Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation (NC40)

Collection: Luminating touch brightening concealer 

Nars: Casino Bronzer

Nars: Sin Blusher 

Benefit: Watts Up Highlighter 

Mac Lipstick: Creme in your Coffee

Urban Decay: Primer Potion

Marc Jacobs: Lolita Eyeshadow Palette 

Rimmel: Day to Night Mascara (Black)

For this eye look I wanted to keep it simple but still give my eyes some depth and colour. The Marc Jacobs Pallete was perfect for this as it has a mix of neutral matte and shimmery tones which blend perfectly. 

I dusted the shade 2 ( a matte nude) all over my eyelid as a base and then deepened the crease using shade 3 ( a matte coffee brown). I also wanted a spot of glitter on the middle of my eyelid and in the inner corners so I used shade 4 ( a metallic warm pink with glitter) on a flat packing brush to add a slight shimmer. For my brow bone I used a mixture of shade 1 (a matte off white creme) and the Benefit watts up to highlight and the eye look was complete.

Loréal Color Riche L'Ombre Pure Eyeshadow Review & Swatches

Hi everyone, today I thought I would put together a post to show you this amazing drugstore Loréal single eyeshadows. I saw these about 3 weeks ago in boots and the colour range instantly caught my eye. All of the colours in this range are shimmery and they have a wide selection from greens to pinks to everyday nudes. 

The three shades I picked up are: 

'Nude - 200' 

'Smoky - 307' 

'Smoky - 301' 

Firstly the packaging of this product makes them really easy to store and very convenient to travel with. They are small and compact however the gold plastic case makes them look pretty. These shadows have a creamy smooth texture and are easy to blend together with both matte and other shimmery eye shadow shades. The first time i wore them they had a lasting finish and did not budge even after 7/8 hours of wearing them (with a primer). 

The best way to apply these is with your fingers, especially if you are using them as a base colour all over the lid however they blend like a dream with brushes as well so you have the option of using both :) 

Shade: Over the Taupe - Nude - 200 

(A beautiful shimmery golden brown)

Shade: Argentic - Smoky 307 

(A striking shimmery silver)

Shade: Escape In Bordeaux - Smoky 301

(A unique shimmery plum purple shade with golden flecks)

Below are swatches of all three shades in sunlight

Overall I think these shadows are a great drugstore dupe for the more high end in intense creamy shadows. They retail for around £5.49 each so you cannot go wrong, especially when there are 3 for 2 deals going on. My favourite out of these three shades is 'Escape In Bordeaux' because it has the best colour pay off and is one of the most unique eyeshadow shades I own.

Let me know what you think of these if you have tried them
