Is it just me ?
Recently I
have started to care just a little bit more about how I look make-up wise,
honestly I don’t wear allot of make-up mainly because I wouldn't know what to
do with it what so ever, occasionally ill attempt to do my eyes up a little
when I am going out for a meal or a night out. The simple eyeliner, mascara and
maybe eye shadow if I’m in a “good mood”.
So when it
comes to any other time of the day that is not a night out or a meal out natural/not
really bothered is my style, and really there is nothing wrong with that I've learnt as long as you look after your skin like using facial scrubs and moisturise
your skin will be happy without make-up. J
Benefit they're Real, Maxfactor kohl pencil in black, Umberto Giannini painted lady in lady Ophelia |
No I’m
talking about primers, concealers, bb creams, foundations, powders, blusher, bronzer,
eye shadow primer, eye shadow, cream eye shadow, mascara, eyeliner, liquid
eyeliner, lip liners, lipsticks, lip tints and then all the different brushes and
other applicators.............................anything else I missed? (NO
CLUE!!)
So for those
of you like me that have no to little idea about the make-up world (which is probably
not many of you), but what to start getting up to date and in the know about the
big wide world of the make-up brands because there are tons of them (not going
to try and name them all obvs) but a few of my faves are Barry M, Benefit, Collection
and max factor. Honestly you’re going to feel a little over whelmed by just how
big of ‘a deal it all is. Tv, magazines, adverts and
films, make-up is everywhere and you can become very lost in a world of
obsession of having all the new and latest products of all the well known and
big make-up brands.
I am by no
means a make-up expert and this is by no means a advice blog so please don't
take what I say as advice :) I just simply want to voice my voice <3
The only
thing I maintain is my hair because the length of it and my eyebrows because I decided
to pluck them myself about two years ago. In fact I only started wearing
make-up about three years ago (maybe more), that would make me 18 maybe 17 :s
is that bad?
When I
started I didn't really know where to begin and at the late age I was most
girls already wore make-up in school, which made it harder because I had no
clue how they knew what to do with (not having a big sister didn't help). The
first thing I learnt how to use was eyeliner and lots of it apparently :s
sorry about bad quality couldn't find any good pics of me back then |
My first ever
product was Maxfactor kohl pencil eye liner which I still use today. I then
took a daring move and brought some drugstore own foundation and blusher (BIG
MISTAKE!!) I tried them out the same day and I looked offal (what a waste) so
with that I never used them again. The next thing to happen, for my birthday I
asked for a make-up trunk to carry the very little make-up I had built up and
as a bonus or so I thought the trunk was filled with unbranded simple make-up
(wish is hadn't as surprise I decided to try it on ..............another
mistake of mine! Let’s just say none if it was used again! J
Which brings
us to the now “yeey”J where I am taking it much more seriously but still having fun.
I am finding the best way to find products that I like is to buy and try which
works because most of the product I use now I had no idea if they were going to
be good when I brought them, I have also been watching allot of beauty gurus on
You Tube like “Zoella” and “Tanya burr” and also the lovely “Bubzbeauty” Love
love love go check them out ;)
All I'm trying to say is, it's scary (or maybe it's
just me?)
<3 thanks for reading.
