Koko goddess lashes! The band is so thick and awkward to work with but the lash is super beautiful. P.s they're extremely affordable.

Tried a new liquid lipstick, £3 from superdrug! I love the colour.

Quick contour vid☺ I had already put on my contour lines with a Chanel bronzing base and a cheap palette from eBay. Then I used Maybelline The Eraser Eye concealer in nude, L'oreal Perfect Match concealer no.4 and La Touche Magique pen in natural beige. I set my under eye with Laura mercier secret brightening powder no.2 and the rest of my face with airspun translucent powder. I set my contour with a topshop matte bronzer and a Mac blush ‘frost ’. Then I highlighted with a topshop highlighter powder in 'radiate’ and a shade from my bobbi brown eyeshadow shimmer brick.

Music Festival: Makeup Tips!

It’s spring & music festivals are just around the corner. Here are a few tips to have your makeup looking fresh & keeping your skin protected: 

1. Make sure to wear sunblock! Bring it with you to reapply at least 2x throughout the whole day. Sun burnt skin is NOT pretty nor is it safe!

2. Keep your foundation &  makeup routine light. Most festivals go on for over 12+ hours.  Opt for a tinted moisturizer instead of your normal foundation. Our favorite is by Nars & it also has SPF 30!

3. Bronzy & glowy skin is best when going with minimal makeup. It helps cover up any imperfections (great for when you’re going with a lighter coverage). Make Up For Ever’s Duo is a space saver.

4. Going lighter on your makeup means you can definitely play up your eyes. Keep them fluttery & still sexy. We love House of Lashes: “Siren”.

5. While your whole body should be covered with SPF don’t forget your lips too! Keep those babies protected! Sugar Lip Treatment by Fresh is super cute & comes in so many color tints!

6. Don’t forget to set your makeup, so you can dance your booty off while keeping your face on. With a cult favorite, Urban Decay, it’s not going anywhere.

7. And last but not least, HAIR! Have fun with some flower entwined into braids. The messier the better. Flower crowns are SO 2014.
