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..
Liz Earle is a brand I’ve constantly heard raved about in the blogosphere, especially for their Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser. I’ve had the Cleanse & Polish on my wishlist for months but I’ve never got around to trying out a Liz Earle product, so when I was contacted to try out the…
I recently made my first Models Own purchase! On the Models Own website you save £7 when you buy 5 nail varnishes. Normally at £5 per nail varnish I thought this was a great deal so I treated myself to 5 new polishes and a new lip balm. From left to right: Purple Mystique, Pure Purple,…
These day’s there’s so many good blogs around, it’s hard to keep up with them all. I’m always looking out on Twitter or through others recommendations for new blogs to read, but there’s several that I find myself visiting on a daily basis. I’ve seen a few people talking about their favourite blog reads and I thought…
First of all how is it going to be September tomorrow?! This year has just flown past. August has been a fairly exciting month for me product wise, as I’ve been trying out loads of new things, and also rediscovered a couple of old products that I love. So here’s this months monthly offering. Vitamin…
It’s crazy to think today is the first day of 2015, Happy new year! 2014 was a strange year, and I learnt a few things a long the way. So for my first blog post of 2015 I thought it seemed appropriate to talk about what I learnt in 2014. I really don’t need to…
I decided to give a go at nail art! This is the first time I’ve tried it out and I’m surprised at how easy it was to do. Here’s what I did to create my strawberry nails: I used Models Own Red Alert, and Barry M’s Mint Green, and Black to create my nails…
