Having been a makeup addict for years now, you’d think I’d be quite good at it by now right? Well to be honest there are so many parts of makeup application I’m rubbish at, contouring being one of them. For years I’ve been trying to master it, just giving myself dark dirty looking marks on my cheeks rather than the nice cheekbones I was aiming for. It’s only recently after lots of practise, and 100’s of hours of YouTube tutorial watching, and the right products, that I think I’ve finally managed to suss how to contour correctly.
Recently I’ve been using the KIKO Contouring Pencil Set when contouring, and I think it’s having a product that’s easy to use that’s really helped me. The Contouring Pencil Set is made up of a sculpting bronzer and an illuminating pencil, which I love the design of as it makes them so easy to use, and they’re rather pretty look at too. They are so easy to apply, you just draw on the areas you want to apply bronzer or highlighter to and blend in. I find it so much simpler than using a bronzer and a brush!
As I’m quite pale you can see that the bronzer colour appears a little scarily dark for me to start with, however once it’s blended in it suits me perfectly. I also think the illuminating colour suits me perfectly, and once applied it gives me a perfect glowy look.
I find using these so much easier to contour my face, without leaving me with those horrible dark dirty marks that I was struggling with before. What do you think of contouring? Are you able to do it, or like me have you found it bit of a struggle?
I’ve always loved looking at other bloggers ‘perfume collection’ type posts, and I’d love to do one myself but truth be told I only ever have one or two bottles on the go. I seem to have a eye (or nose) for expensive types of perfume, so I can never afford to have a collection….
Apivita is a brand I absolutely love. Everything I’ve tried from them so far has impressed me, and their Natural Serum Hydration is another one to add to that list. I was looking for a new serum when I first came across this. I often have dry skin, especially in the colder months, so I was looking…
Sometimes after a long stressful week there’s nothing better than spending a Sunday having a good old pamper session. I like to pick out some of my favourite products and use them all up while watching one of my favourite films, or catching up with YouTube. I like starting out with a long hot bubble…
I love bloggers events, their fantastic for getting to meet other bloggers, and I’ve met some of my best friends through attending blogger events. Only problem is half of them are in London, and often during the week and as I no longer work in London, they can be bit of a pain to get…
Soap & Glory is a brand I have loved for the longest time. Since discovering them when I was 16 I’ve bought hundreds and hundreds of their products, and none of them disappoint. It had been a while since I last had a Soap & Glory haul, so when payday came around I decided it was…
That’s right I’m getting quite into this videoing myself lark! So I have another video for you lovely’s. I did a blog post a while back on my favourite summer nail polishes which you can see here if you missed it. So I thought I’d show you all again in video form! Seriously youtube why…
