BACK TO SCHOOL MAKEUP

Hello lovelies!

I decided not to film due to one reason. I don't have the equipment yet. Hopefully by the end of the year, I could get a DSLR of my own.

I'll just show the products I use for my back to school makeup or in other words, it could be an everyday makeup as well. I also have a short video on how I contour my nose and cheeks as well. Unfortunately, I forgot to record when I contoured my temple, forehead and my jaw lines but I hope you get the idea out of it.

Let's start from the base!

 From the right, it's my moisturiser from Nivea. Amazingly this acts as a primer too. It covers up your pores instantly. Honestly, I have quite large pores around my nose area and with this moisturiser, poof, it's gone! You have no idea how much I love this product. Also, it has an SPF 30 which is good because I don't have to spend the extra time to put on an SPF on my face after I put on my moisturiser. Ain't nobody got time for that.

On the left is my makeup base from Sasatinnie. My favourite and it's in the shade Balance which has a pink tint to it. Well, pink tint in primers or makeup base actually adds glow to the face. You learn new things everyday, people. I don't usually use this on a daily basis unless I have a long day in school and which, I don't want my makeup to fade away and reveal the monster behind it. Nah, I'm kidding but really, this makeup base makes my makeup stay all day. But, if for the sake of going to school and go home straight afterwards, I couldn't care less though.

Next, foundation/BB cream. I'm the type of girl that has my foundation-BB cream days. Trust me. When I really want that coverage and I have the mood to put on foundation, I will. When I'm lazy, BB cream will just do the trick as well as BB cream feels lighter on my face but it does not really provide the coverage I want. Whatever. BB Cream on Monday sounds good.

I have two shades of foundation. One from Maybelline in shade 220 which is a shade slightly darker than my skin colour and Loreal True Match Foundation in shade Golden Beige which is slightly lighter than my skin colour. Honestly, I can't find the perfect shade for my skin thus I mix these two lovelies together to get the shade that suits the rest of my body. It sounds troublesome, right? But it's worth it. BB Cream is from Holika Holika which has both CC and BB cream effect. I've talked about this product on my previous-previous post, you could check it out here: July Favourite/Reviews/Hauls

Best concealer ever. Hands down. I've been wanting to write a review on this but I had no time so here's a short review by Delilah. It has a creamy base which I really love because I could take my time to blend it and like what BubzBeauty have said in one of her videos, this product is a dupe for Shu Umera's concealer. The product is so small but you only need little amount of it to cover your dark circles and it's perfect to cover blemishes as well. It does not cake up, it does not oxidise and it does not crease. Perfect. But, one thing about this product that it only comes in two shades. The light and the medium. I'm using the darker shade of the two shades available. Maybelline, why?

My all-time holy grail powder, Rimmel Stay Matte Powder. I choose this product over any powder that I have bought so far and I really don't want to use it up. It makes your face matte all day and if you're looking for dewy skin just powder your face around the area where you usually perspire and leave the rest of the face powder-free.

I've been loving these two products so much. I have sparse eyebrows and I usually create the shape I want with the brow pencil and I got the brow pencil at a nearby street shop and it's refillable! Afterwards I use the wand to remove the harsh lines. I take my all time favourite brow powder to fill it in and give me that full eyebrow look. Of course, it's tedious but it's definitely worth it. I'm always so jealous over girls with full looking brows while mine are just... I can't even. Brow powder is from Daiso. Yes, only $2.

From the left, the first product is my holy grail cheap bronzer that I've used so far, Catrice Sun Glow Matt Bronzing Powder in Medium Skin. Oh my gosh, I can't explain my love for it. This is actually my second time buying it. I honestly have a pale skin so you know, I really need the glow for my face. I use this on the areas that need that extra glow and contour especially on my cheeks, jawlines, temple, forehead and nose. 

Tip: I also use this bronzer to add colour to my eye lids to add to the earthly glow look that I've been loving currently.

In the middle is a contour palette from Daiso. I only use the highlighter to highlight my brow bone and also brighten up my under eye. I am actually not a highlighter girl on a daily basis. Only on days where I glam up, I do go for a highlighted look because duh, pictures. 

On the right is my blusher. Honestly, I only use blusher when I'm super lazy to put on any bronzer on my face so I'll just slap on this blusher which is in peachy shimmery colour to add the glow to my pale face. 

I'm a mascara kind of girl. Can you not see how many mascaras I use for my eyelashes? Yes, shush. I can't go out without mascaras. I can't so if you're trying to say that I wear too much... just keep your opinions to yourself because mascaras are basically heaven on earth to me. I actually need more but... I think 5 is enough, right? 

Lastly. lipsticks. I can never go out without having any colour of my lips. Really. So, usually for an everyday look, I'll go for a pink or nude pink colour. When I'm feeling fancy, I'll go for a hot pink shade and for an everyday look, of course, the nude pink shade which is from ELF. 

Did I tell you how much I've been loving the earthly glow look? I have been using this DIY lip colour ever since. I was definitely inspired by AndreasChoice. 

All you need:

• Lipbalm (It would be better if it is colourless)
• Bronzer

1. Apply lipbalm all over your lips to moisturise it. Of course, never forget to put lipbalm on your lips everyday to prevent it from chapping. 
2. Brush your fingers over the bronzer and dab it on your lips until you get the brown shade you like. 

It's not long lasting but it adds to the glow if you love an earthly bronzed face. Try it!

I never mentioned eyeliner because firstly, it's not my type of a daily makeup look especially when I'm rushing to school. I'll put on eyeliner on days where I really want to look good like formal presentations etc. I have no time to wakeup early just to create a perfect winged liner because I'm human and I need sleep and on some days, I couldn't even be bothered to do my makeup. So yeah, this is the end of my blogpost. 

Till' the next post.

Love, Delilah.
