I’m a recent graduate. Not only does this mean that I’m currently unemployed with an unhealthy obsession with Loose Women and Storage Hunters (brilliant shows FYI), but it means I’m on the hunt for a full time job. Being six months post graduation I’m getting job interviews down to a fine art now. As it’s always important to look presentable at interviews I’ve found myself wearing the same makeup for each interview. Nothing to over the top or dark, but simple everyday make up.
I like to start off with a good primer as some of my interviews take over an hour to get to if they’re in London, so this ensures that my makeup will stay in place all day. My current primer of choice is Bourjois Happy Light Luminous Serum Primer, which also gives your skin a nice glowy radiant look. Then I use my Clinique Even Better foundation to create my base, and my Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealor to hide any blemishes or dark circles. To set my foundation I then use a powder, and my current one of choice is Seventeen’s Miracle Matte Pressed Powder. Then to fill in my eyebrows I use Faint from my Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette, and use my Bourjois Twist Up The Volume Mascara. To put a bit of colour on my face I use Bourjois Cream Bulush in shade Rose Tender, which just adds a subtle pop of colour on the cheeks. I then finish off with Benefit’s High Beam highlighter on the brow bone and on the tops of my cheeks, and use my MAC Fanfare lipstick, which just gives off a ‘my lips but better’ kind of colour.
So that’s my simple basic makeup that’s suitable to wear to job interviews, and isn’t too over the top or in your face. Now just to ace these interviews..
During the cold winter months my skin really starts to suffer. It becomes dry, sore, and I often get horrible flaky bits of skin. Going from cold to warm all the time really starts to play a toll on my skin, so during the colder months I like to step up my skincare game, and…
If you’ve read my tweets over the last couple of days you will have seen I’ve had my eyes on the Sleek Strom i-Divine eye shadow palette. I’ve been thinking of buying it for a couple of weeks now after seeing it on various blogs. I’ve only recently got into eye shadow (whats wrong with…
I’ve mentioned it many many times before, my hair hates me. I’m such a horrible person to it, I dye it quite a lot, and use hair straighteners like everyday. So recently my hair has been looking really awful, its in a major need for some TLC. So I decided to give my hair a…
In this months Marie Claire magazine I got this free Ciate Nail polish. I was really excited to see this with my usual Marie Claire magazine, as I’ve been dying to dry out these nail polishes! I was hoping to actually get the nude looking shade but only this one was available in my local…
Today’s been a pretty simple day, especially as I’m still on the job hunt. So I didn’t really do much for today’s FOTD post as I’ve just been around the house cleaning on the promise of a little money from the parents! I redyed my hair red last night, so its a little bright than…
Today is no normal Thursday, it’s in fact my 24th birthday! I don’t have any major birthday plans today, as I’ll be at work for most of the day. But I’ll be celebrating tonight with my parents, as it’s also their wedding anniversary, so for our special day we’re all going out for dinner. As…
