Hey everyone, today I am going to be sharing with you the make up I did most nights whilst on holiday. It's perfect for summer and super quick and easy to do! Hope you enjoy this post and I will see you all very very soon. xxxx

The first thing I do is prime my eyes with the Smashbox 24hr Photo Finish Shadow Primer. Especially when it's hot, it's really hard to get eye shadow not to crease without a primer. This one is quite expensive but definitely worth the money (I think it's around £14).

The next thing I do is quickly fill my brows in using the shade Naked from the original Naked palette. To put the product in my brows, I use the Real Techniques Brow Brush.

For my eyes, I first apply Nectar from Smashbox all over my lid (this is a gorgeous peach/nude shade), I then put the shade Naked on the outer 2/3 of my lid. To create definition to my eye, I add some Buck into the crease. Next, I mix together the shades Darkhorse, Creep and Gunmetal and put a small amount of it on the outer bottom corner of my lid -I do this to deepen the shades and make the crease shadow stand out more. Then, I get Half Baked and put it all over my lid (apart from over the crease - so inner corner to the crease). This adds a pop of gorgeous golden colour. Finally, I add Virgin (the highlight shade) to the inner corner of my eyes and on my brow bone.
Next up is concealer, I put 17 Stay Time in Extra Fair under my eyes. This is a little too light for me but that is perfect under your eyes as it then highlights which covers dark circles more easily. As this is too light to put over the rest of my face I use the Soap and Glory Kick Ass Concealer in Light over any blemishes and down my nose.





The next thing I use is Nude Delight from Tanya's Hollywood palette and I put this along my water line - this makes your eyes look more open and more awake. I then blend the shade Buck underneath my eye and apply a thin line of Soap and Glory's Supercat Skinny liner across my upper lash line.

Next, I put on a few coats of my trusty Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara. I put this on my top and bottom lashes.


Finally, I apply one thin layer of the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Istanbul to my lips. This is a vibrant pink nude which looks amazing with a tan/in summer in general.


So, that's it for today guys. I hope you enjoyed this post and I will see you very very soon,

Love Lou
