Using my Mac palette

My addiction to makeup is beginning to become a problem. You can only use one of each product at a time but yet I seem to have lots of each which is ridiculous. As I love makeup so much I am always watching tutorials on YouTube and trying them out myself. Because of this, I have picked up a few techniques that I use in my makeup all the time. I created a look the other day that I decided I wanted to show on my blog. I have used my Mac palette that I created a blog post on a little while ago. If you would like to read that blog post then I will put the link at the end of this blog post. So here is the make up look.


























Foundation- Rimmel Wake me up- 200 Soft Beige.
Powder- Rimmel Stay Matte- 001 Transparent.
Blush- Nars- Orgasm.
Contour/ Bronzer- Mac powder blush- Harmony. 
Eyeshadow- Mac- Satin Taupe, Smut. Urban Decay- Virgin.
Brows- Mac- Charcoal Brown.
Eye liner- Bourjois Paris- Liner Stylo- Noir. Maybelline 24HR Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner-08 Black Gold
Lashes- Just some really cheap ones from savers:)
Lips- Avon Lipstick- Matte Grape. Maybelline 20HR Super Stay Tint Gloss- Timeless Plum.

For my eyes I have Satin Taupe all over with Smut in the outer corner and Virgin on the brow bone. For my lips I have Matte Grape on first with Timeless Plum on over the top. I have contoured my cheeks and nose.

Unfortunately the lighting seems to wash me out in the pictures so you cannot see much contouring or blush at all, but you can see the eyes and lips which is the main part to this look.

As you can see in the pictures I also have a Halo braid in my hair. This look was for an evening meal look so I did use lashes and I have dressed up slightly. This is what the halo braid looked like. I got this idea from a hair tutorial on Zoella's (Zoe Sugg's) YouTube channel.
To create this I tied the top section of my hair back to keep it away from my face. I then took a piece of hair from behind my ear on each side of my head, plaited them as normal and then pulled them across my head and bobby pinned them into place. I then took out the hairband keeping my hair back, added a little bit of hair spray and brushed the ends through again just to smooth any knots out.

Thank you for reading this blog post <3
