In this post I show you how I do my every day make-up. I've tried so many different types of brands & so far the ones featured are my favourites to use every day.

(｡◕‿◕｡)

I start off with a clean face, fresh out of the shower.

I moisturise using my favourite Milk & co Ultra Light Moisturiser & prime my face using Benefit's The Pore-fessional.

Once that settles into my skin, I move onto foundation & concealer. I'm loving Nutri Lift Gold by L'Oreal & I've finally warmed up to my Collection 2000 concealer. Both are in the lightest shades.

I blend that into my face using a blending sponge for a flawless finish.

I apply my concealer like two upside-down triangles under my eyes, down to my cheeks to highlight that entire area. This concealer is awesome for covering up everything.

Once everything is all blended, my face looks like this:

I use two products to set my base. They are the Maybelline Super Stay 24hr Powder & Covergirl Tru Blend both in the lightest shades possible.

I buff the Maybelline powder along the perimeter of my face using a flat top kabuki brush...

...aaaand I highlight the Maybelline powder using my Real Techniques contour brush.

Next I contour, blush & highlight my face using Benefit's Hoola bronzer, Benefit's Hervana blush & The Balm's May-Lou Manizer highlight.

I contour along my cheek bones.

I use blush on the apples of my cheeks & highlight the high points of my face.

Using 'Bunny Hop' by Benefit, I prime my eyelids as a base for the colours in the Lorac Pro palette.

I just use two colours which give me that natural looking eye. 

Next using Rimmel's Scandal Eyes waterproof Kohl in Nude & my favourite Sephora eyeliner, I line my water line & give myself a perfect wing.

Next I use Jordana's Best Lash mascara & Benefit's They're Real mascara, I accentuate my eyelashes.

One eye with & one eye without mascara.

For my eye brows, I've been filling them in using the darkest brown shadow in my Inglot freedom palette & an angled brush. I set it with my favourite brow setting gel from Essence.

I love my brows!

The final step is lips & lately I've been using this nude lip gloss from Napoleon Perdis.

...and that's it! 

I absolutely swear by this routine as it gives me a flawless looking face & it takes only about 15 minutes to put it all together.

Forever Favourites: Sephora Long-Lasting Eyeliner ¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•

If you know me (or read my blog) you know that I have an unhealthy obsession with make-up.
And in saying this, it's pretty rare to see me without wearing any.

My favourite look for my eyes is the ever popular cat-winged eyeliner & since fashioning it for the past 2 or so years, I've been able to perfect the technique and find a product that helps me create a sharp edge with just enough thickness to create that dramatic effect.

My first ever Forever Favourite product is my favourite black eyeliner from Sephora which I accidentally bought in New York over a year ago. Since then, having run out of this product and since it is unavailable in Australia, have requested back ups from my bestie James who visited L.A mid-2013 and also my parents who recently returned from their anniversary trip to New York. I love this product & plan to use it for years to come.

It is a typical brush-style, liquid eyeliner in back. The secret to this perfect product is the thick consistency of the matte black eye-liner and the perfect felt-tip brush. The formula is long lasting & washes out easily with warm water or a make-up remover.

If you ever get the chance, do try it. You wont be disappointed.
