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..
After painting my nails every 3 days for the last year and a half, my nails are not in the best of conditions. In fact, their pretty terrible. So a couple of weeks ago I decided I needed to give my nails a bit of a treat, and try to get them back into a…
Come the sunnier days I don’t like to wear a thick foundation like I normally do, and I want something with a little less coverage, so for a while now I’ve been trying to find the perfect CC Cream. While browsing around in Boots I came across the L’Oreal Paris Nude Magique CC Cream which…
I’ve been terrible at updating my blog on my spending ban challenge lately. So bad that since my last update I haven’t wrote another one in three weeks, oops. To be honest I’m finding there isn’t a lot to update on lately. I’ve been being good and have hardly bought any beauty products unless it’s something I…
It feels like its been absolutely forever since I’ve done a NOTD post! Despite being a nail varnish addict I haven’t done a NOTD post since mid August??!?! Wow. I’m constantly painting my nails and lately I’ve been getting a little bored of my nail polishes. Even though I have a rather large collection, I’ve…
If you’re a regular reader of my blog you will understand my love for all things hair oil related. For someone who over processes their hair and applies heat regularly like me, hair oil is a life savoir. My non-beauty obsessive friends don’t quite understand it – “you’re putting oil in your hair?!?!”, but I have…
First of all, how is it June? I swear yesterday I was writing Christmas present gift guides and trying to work out what to get people, and now I’m having to work out what to buy my dad for Father’s Day. When it comes to buying my dad gifts I’m hopeless, I just never know…
