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..
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…
I’ve seen this floating around on a couple of blogs today and thought I’d give it a wurl too 🙂 Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eye liners, lipsticks and lip glosses or lose all your palettes and eye shadows? Lose all my palettes and eye shadows. I couldn’t live without mascara…
It always comes to a surprise to me when I start writing my Christmas gift guides every year, how has it got to this point in the year already! I love Christmas shopping, but sometimes getting the ideas together can be bit of a struggle. This is why I love gift guides, they can give…
I’m bit of a self confessed nail varnish addict, I have over 70 bottles of the stuff. Yet I still keep wanting to add to my collection. I’ve always wanted to get my hands on O.P.I’s polishes as I hear so much about them in the blogging world, but at £10.50 it’s not something I…
I never really understood the concept behind Tangle Teezers. I mean at the end of the day its a brush, how can it be any better than any other hair brush? My friend Robyn was forever talking about them, in fact I think she loves them so much she owns three, so one day I decided to…
I recently bought myself this nail polish after I saw one of my best friends wearing it a few weeks back. I thought the colour looked great on her and I was dying to try it out myself. I love Rimmel London polishes, especially with the maxi brush, it makes it so easy to apply!…
