More of my favorite bloggers everyday makeup!

Well I never imagined I would be writing another one of these posts! In my original post (you can read it here) I got in touch with Kailey from Mermaidens and Annika from The Pineneedle Collective to learn about their everyday makeup routines and I never imagined that the post would become so popular (currently our second most popular post, just behind our post about meeting Benedict Cumberbatch)! I thought I would make this a bit of a series as I personally love hearing about my favorite bloggers everyday makeup routines and I'm positive a lot of you will too!

If you're part of the blogging community there is no doubt that you've heard of the beautiful Kate from Scathingly Brilliant. Ever since I first discovered Kate's blog I've been obsessed with her amazing outfits and the inspirational interior of her apartment/rooms! Kate currently runs three online stores; Flapper Doodle, which specialises and 1920s art and stationary along with Sweet and Lovely which offers an adorable selection of art and handmade goods and finally Your Fan Club which provides anyone with fan club badges and patches from almost any fandom. 

Here's what Kate had to say about her everyday makeup routine; "I'm not really good at doing makeup so I like to keep my routine pretty simple. I'd love to learn how to do complex eyeshadow shading and I'm flirting with the idea of trying false eyelashes but for now this little routine is perfect for me! it's quick and easy, and the eyeliner and swipe of bright colour on my lips are just enough to make me feel polished without working on my face all morning". Kate's signature simple look never fails to leave her looking flawless and I'm sure those of you who don't like to wear too much makeup would love to re-create Kate's everyday makeup!

These are the steps Kate takes to achieve her everyday makeup;

"I start with LUSH skin drink, since I have really dry skin. I've tried so many moisturisers over the years and this one works the best with my super dry sensitive skin. If my skin is looking kind of uneven I'll mix some LUSH jackie oats colour into the lotion. It adds just a teeny tiny amount of colour, which is perfect for evening out my complexion without adding a thick layer of makeup.

Then I apply Josie Maran concealer on my dark circles. Sometimes I'll put on a swipe of white or light peach eye shadow (I haven't found a brand or colour that I really love yet) or just skip right ahead to eyeliner. I like to go for a dramatic 60's inspired cat eye, and I tend to go a little overboard with the eyeliner! I like NYX liquid black liner at the moment. It dries matte and has a nice thin brush, perfect for getting that perfect flick at the corner!

My go-to lip colors are NYX Butter lipstick in Little Susie and Urban Decay Streak. When I'm out and about I'll usually touch up the color with NYX butter lip balm in Parfait. Little Susie is my all-time favorite though, it's just the perfect shade of reddish pink (or pinkish red?) and NYX butter lipsticks are one of the only ones that don't dry my lips out by the end of the day."

I first stumbled upon Connie's blog after discovering her on Instagram (I have seriously 'met' so many of my favorite bloggers thanks to following them on Instagram and vice versa) and I instantly knew that this girl had a passion for fashion and enjoyed experimenting with her personal style! Connie's blog has grown to be one of my favourites and I'm always excited to read her latest outfit post and fawn all over how amazing she looks in literally every photo! When asked to describe her everyday makeup look she replied with "Hmmm that's tough! I've never tried to define my makeup look but I guess a matte face with bold brows and colourful features? If you're looking for an adjective then 'matte and funky'". I feel as though Connie described her everyday makeup look amazingly and I couldn't have thought of anything more appropriate than 'matte and funky'!

This is how Connie likes to do her everyday makeup;

1. I start off by dotting the Almay Truly Lasting colour foundation over my whole face and buffing it in with my Real Techniques buffing brush.

2. I conceal with the Maybelline Fit Me concealer if my skin needs that extra coverage.

3. Next I do my brows with an angled brush. I’ve been loving the Anastasia dip brow! Stuff stays on like nothing else. For powder I use the Dolly Wink brow duo: nothing extraordinary, it does what it’s supposed to do.

4. I go into cheek stuff next: using the Real Techniques contour brush with my NYC sunny bronzer, and then a fluffy brush to apply blush (which today is Tarte’s Amazonian clay blush in Fantastic).

5. Then I do my signature blue winged eyeliner using Lazuli by Lime Crime.

6. I then set my makeup with the Maybelline Fit Me powder on my Nude powder brush.

7. Last but not least is LIPSTICK!! This part excites me more than words can explain. I absolutely adore all the Lime Crime Velvetines (obviously), but today I went with an old fave- the Australis velourlips in the purple shade!

Ps: I only do mascara for special occasions.
