Night Out Dewy Skin

And we are back...
Here we have a new make up look featuring a smoked out (yes smoky again, but it is by far my favour shadow technique) purple eye which was sadly my final night out make up look for this semester in Newcastle *sigh*. 

We ended the semester with a somewhat blurry bang, and this makeup look has to be one of my favourites for the year. 

In this post, I am going to focus on the skin. Yes we are putting the eyeshadow in the corner and letting my ultimate skin routine take centre stage. 


Step one: 

• Any thick moisturiser will do for the first stage, but for me I like to use Soap and Glory's Righteous butter. I understand that this moisturiser is made for the body and is quite a fragrant mixture to put on the face, however I find it works perfectly for me. This might not be the most suitable product for everyone, but I think it has the right level of thickness to act as both a moisturiser and a primer for the foundation to stick to. 

Step two:

• Now we are looking to go straight into the foundation. As I am, unlike my natural born skin, a bronzed babe (well, slightly orange in all honestly but we're all friends here) at the moment, we are using a slightly different foundation mixture than my usual everyday combination. 
• Here, I am using Max Factor's 'Miracle Touch Foundation' in the colour Natural and mixing this is with Maybelline Superstay Foundation 24 Hour in their lightest shade 'True Ivory' to even out the colours and give the right match for my body.
• The mix of these two foundations, with the thick blend of the moisturiser gives you the right dewy consistency that isn't too dewy or too matte. This means that only a bit of powder is required in the 'T' zone area to help your makeup last all night.

Step three:

• A blinding highlighter and peachy blusher are both needed for the cheeks in this look to create the dewy finish we're looking for. [TOP TIP] I would recommend that you apply the highlighter first and then you add the blusher second so that the highlighter doesn't risk being streaky and they blend seamlessly. 

Step four: 

• Once the rest of the makeup is complete, all that is left is a spritz of a setting spray, in this case Rimmel's Insta Fix and Go Setting Spray Primer is used to make the highlighter pop and help keep the dew sparkling all night long.

We can be cute when we want to 

And there we have it - one dewy make up look ready to hit the town and make some questionable life choices! 

I hope you guys like this make up look and hopefully I'll be able to get some Christmas looks up soon so you guys and gals can be inspired for the festivities to begin!
