Emphasise Green Eyes ❤️

Hey guys!

So today I decided to emphasise my green eyes and make them a darker more emerald like green shade .

For this look I just went ahead with my everyday foundation routine and then moved on to the exciting part!

Products:

1. Naked 3 palette – shades nooner, blackout and limit.
2. Fuschia palette- a neutral base colour (any will do).
3. Mascara (again any)
4. Eyeliner – gel (Fuschia gel pot), shade – chocolate brown.
5. Eyeliner – (tight line & water line) Mac kohl – feline
6. Fake eyelahes – (optional)

Application:

1. So I started of applying the base shade to my eyes with a fluffy blending brush. I took this shade all the way up to the eyebrow.
2. Next I applied limit -naked 3 palette all over the eye, except the very inner corner as I wanted to keep that area light and bright.
3. I then took my angled application brush along with nooner – naked 3 palette. I applied this just above my crease.
4. I then blended this out with a fluffy dome shaped brush.
5. I then took blackout – naked 3 palette on another application brush. This I applied in the very inner crease.
6. I blended that out with the same dome shaped brush.
7. I then applied gel eyeliner to the upper lash line. I applied pencil liner to the tight line and water line.
8. I completed this look with mascara. I used NYC jumbo lashes mascara .
9. For a night out or extra glam you could add fake eyelashes, I left it without any as it was a daytime look. 

Hope you enjoyed this look and I’d love to hear from you 🙂 

 

Clinique Superbalanced Foundation Review !

Hey guys !

So in this post I will be reviewing my latest foundation. I decided to wait a few months to review this product, until the bottle was completely finished and I could give you all the best review possible on it.

 

How Long It Lasts –

I bought this foundation on the 14th of December and it is now February 14th so it lasted me 3 months exactly. To be completely honest I would have expected it to last a little bit longer as most of my other foundations have lasted 4 months onwards. I did however use this foundation a hell of a lot so three months for most days wear isn’t too bad. 

As for lasting power on the skin, I found this foundation to be fabulous with the Clinique setting powder! Its a very light feeling foundation, so automatically I was a bit apprehensive as to whether it would be suitable for me as I’m so used to wearing heavier foundations. When using setting powder it lasts all day, however when you wear it alone it does not.

 

Price Range –

I bought this foundation for €21.00 on sale in Debenhams back in December, however the retail price in most stores including Brown Thomas is €32.00.

My Opinion –

I absolutely loved this foundation for an everyday makeup , I forgot I was wearing any foundation because of the light-weight feel. It left my skin in amazing condition and my skin was always soft and subtle.

This foundation does not contain an SPF so when I wore it in photographs the light did not reflect leaving me with a big white face, complete winner in my opinion.

I am used to wearing a heavier foundation and my go-to would be Makeup Forever’s HD foundation but I was shocked at how much I feel in love with this foundation. It gave me the confidence to ease into wearing a light almost skin like foundation. It left my skin feeling like a baby’s-toosh and it completely balanced out my skin. It gave my dehydrated areas moisture, evened out my complexion and didn’t leave my skin with excess oil on the T-Zone area.

Overall I am very impressed with this foundation, if you’re looking for a natural look, day makeup or a go-to foundation then Clinique Superbalanced is definitely worth a try. Pair it with Clinique’s loose powder and you have the start of a perfect base.
