I have been thinking about my daily essentials when it comes to cosmetics. Having just had my first baby my daily beauty routine is somewhat minimized
Here are my 7 daily items that I can’t live without!
Then to clean my face at the end of the day in my gloriously hot hot shower….
So with the help of my daily essentials my skin glows with the love of some spoiling little treasures and it makes me feel pretty special. Its the little things that make you feel special when your life has been changed completely to washing, feeding and sleeping
If your anything like me you just love how Emma Watson has achieved a certain elegance and charm. I find myself happy to see her grow up into this amazing person who is an important role model for young women. She is definitely and interesting woman to keep track of and I cant wait to see what she does next……
Here is a guide to achieve her look for this picture. I just love that this makeup enhances her eyes while keeping a natural element, all part of the simple charm that is Emma Watson and to top it off she has a fantastic hair style!
This makeup look is all about the eyes so you just need a light foundation coverage keeping any freckles and moles for a natural look. Then once you have powdered add some light bronzer around the hairline as i have demonstrated in brown and then add a pale peach/pink blush. All the makeup used for this look is in matt form so no shimmer in any way will work best for this makeup.
Next up add your lips, again they have gone for a matt look so a pale pinkish skin colour is what I recommend. When using matt lippy be sure to use a lip balm underneath so it doesnt crack through dry lips, just make sure the balm you choose isn’t too shiny or heavily applied
Now for the eyes. To start use the simple method of tint, tone and shade. What this means is’ tint ‘ under the eyebrow with a pale almond skinlike colour, then follow with a ‘tone’ over the eyelid in a pale peach colour. Complete with your ‘shade’ in the crease of the eye with a light to medium brown. Blend all the levels so that they are subtle but still visible, remember you can always add more but its much harder to take off.
To add more depth to the eyes I recommend using a dark chocolate brown with a fine angled brush around the outside of the lashes both above and below.
Now to make the dark brown really effective you want to blend it into the existing brown ‘shade’, so slowly add more of the dark brown with a small eyeshadow brush into the crease and a little over the lid concentrating on the outside edge. Softly blend away any harsh lines so its not obvious but you should notice the extra ‘wow’ factor this added to your eyes. Sometimes it helps to stand back from your reflection when doing your eyes so you get a better sense of how its coming together.
Finally you finish off your look with a thin line of black eyeliner concentrating on the lash line. Take the outside edge out to a little flick and take the line about half way under the eye giving you that ‘almond eye’ look. Then apply some white eyeliner to the inside of the eye to really open your eyes up. Finish with a few coats of mascara. Remember if you don’t want to have clumpy dry lashes you need to regularly change your mascara, they really dont stay fresh past 3 months.
Thanks for reading and have fun playing with this fabulous look.
I have always adored the whole fashion look from the 1920′s – 40′s. The amount of work that went into maintaining their style is unbelievable especially considering what was available to them. I have always wanted to create a 20′s look and I hope that I have done my ancestors proud.
A big thanks to my beautiful sister who let me use her for this shoot xox
