skin care | I Want Your Style

The whole point of make up is to enhance your natural features and when worn well it should look flawless.

I created this look by using my Real Technique buffering foundation brush and a variety of other different tools in my make up kit! Contouring and highlighting is one of my favourite parts of my makeup routine, it brings the whole look to life and can shape your face.

Highlighting: When putting makeup on your face we want to add light to areas that we want to make bigger or come out. Therefore we highlight the inner corner of our eyes to make them pop, have a lighter conceler under the eyes and around the lips to make them look bigger.

Contouring: This is adding depth and shadows to the face to make certain dimensions and can potentially make things look smaller.

I created this look using Maybelline’s FIT foundation, the texture is light with a medium coverage but is buildable. I normally use a MAC conceler but it’s not light enough for effect so I used the L’oreal coverage conceler. The coverage is great but the consistency is very sheer so its buildable. For a heavy coverage I wouldn’t recommend this product, I would recommend an Illamasqua conceler.

Really hope you enjoy the video and learn something new!

Welcome to my first actual beauty review, I have blogged quite a few make up videos on my youtube page but we all want to know what is really worth buying and what isn’t in terms of beauty products. I have tried and tested the expensive products to the own brand products on the high street and would never judge a product by its packaging…. seriously the ones that look all jazzy normally end up being pretty rubbish ….. lets get crack-a-lacking so I can bang on about how much I love tea tree….

On a serious note I have been using this cleanser for about 3 years, I normally get it on offer from Superdrug for 3 for the price of 2 or some random offer but I go through bottles of this stuff.

I have the foam cleaner and the toner and use this on a daily basis. It’s delicate on the skin and takes off all my make up. The fascial cleanser is a foam, I would recommend taking off your eye make up before hand maybe with face wipes as this could potentially irritate the eye. (I will do another review on my eye make up remover…..this is also a high street buy and it works wonders)

I love the smell and after rubbing the foam all over the face and washing it with warm water all the traces of make up & dirt are gone.

It’s only £2.99 and after using this I use the toner, this helps take of any excess dirt and tones the face. I use a simple moisturiser aferwards.

There are many tea tree products on the market in Boots and Superdrugs, I would recommend trailing this as it doesn’t break the budget. The Body Shop also do a range of tea tree so if you can defiantly check it out, they do face wash, toners and spot treatments which specifically target the redness and the bacteria! Superdrug do a whole range of tea tree, check it out here!

Why not try pure tea tree oil, you will need a drop or two and as this is a pure oil it doesn’t come with any of the chemicals. Add one or two drops a day and you wil see the benefits, this takes a bit longer to react as it’s a natural oil. You can use this on specific areas such as acne or blemishes but this depends on the skin type. Your skin must be clear of dirt and make up. I have used this but I personally prefer using the fascial cleaner, it is easier to use and I like the foamy texture.

I have tried and tested so many different beauty products but one product I have always come back is my Tea Tree fascial cleanser from Superdrug!

It is so important to look after your skin, I travel to London 5 times a week on the tube, the amount of dirt in the air and the bacteria that could be touching my hands or face is pretty gross! Look after your skin and if you don’t like tea Tree I would recommend a face wash for you, sometimes some standard soaps can be pretty tough and drying on the skin! This works for me and I hope it works for you, remember the three steps ladies…. cleanse….. tone and most importantly moisturise!
