I thought I would do this How To as applying make up is a completely new concept to me...as in less then a week new! So this week I got glasses, they aren't for everyday wear but more for working on the computer, TV and up close make up/hair work. Because I work a few days a week on a computer I decided I needed to come up with some sort of routine that worked well with wearing glasses! I wanted to keep this as simple as possible but I wanted it to be similar to a look I would be comfortable wearing on a daily basis. I came up with this basic look using only seven products! All of these are cheap but great quality make up and are easily accessible in New Zealand. So let's get started! I think one of the most important steps (especially for Oily skin) is Primer. So first thing I did was apply a thin layer of my Australis Primer and I gave it about 5 minutes to fully absorb into my skin. Next using a Flat Top Stippling brush I applied my ELF Flawless Finish Foundation in Porcelain, I didn't apply this to my forehead but just blended this out over my face and applied a little extra to my chin for extra coverage. I skipped my concealer routine as I didn't feel I really needed it. So I then applied the ELF Translucent Matifying Powder with a big fluffy brush over my face, paying extra attention to my chin and nose. I then drew a basic cat eye using my new favourite eye product, the Loreal Infalible 24 Hour Lacquer Liner in Blackest Black. I have a review coming up on this amazing eyeliner so keep an eye out! I then curled my lashes and applied a generous coating of the Revlon Lash Potion Mascara in Blackest Black, this mascara makes it look like you are wearing falseys! It flares out and lengthens my lashes amazingly without clumping. I absolutely love it. I then wanted to give my face a little colour and dimension so I used the ELF contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder but really lightly, I didn't do a strong contour just a soft layer and I also applied it very lightly over my face to give my skin a healthier appearance. I then applied the blush very lightly to the apples of my cheeks and blended it towards to hair line softly. I didn't feel like wearing lipstick today so I just applied a thin layer of the Nivea Lip Butter in Caramel Cream and that was it! So basic and easy, I love the way the cat eye looks with the dark frame of the glasses. I left the rest of my face quite basic so the attention would be drawn to my eyes. I'm really happy with the finished product and I think this is a great way to feel more confident if you are new to glasses. Let me know if you try this look or if you would like to see more make up or hair looks with glasses Nicole xx
