From Fifi With Love: EVERYDAY MAKE-UP

Putting on make-up is one of my favourite things to do and I find that it relaxes me and makes me feel a bit better about all the 5.50am starts!

I tend to do the same make-up look everyday and only change eye shadows, blushers and lip products every now and again depending on my mood and the outfit that I have planned for that particular day.

Below are all the products I use to create one of my everyday make-up looks.

BASE

My base consists entirely of Estée Lauder products which I have been using for the past two weeks.

I start off by applying Double Wear Light Stay-in-Place Makeup which I am in love with despite only using it for a short amount of time! I use shade Intensity 1.0 and after I have applied this all over my face with a foundation brush I use Double Wear Stay-in-Place Flawless Wear Concealer in shade 01 Light to mask my dark circles and any red bits that don't get covered by the Foundation.

I set the foundation using Double Wear Stay-in-Place Powder Makeup in shade 1N2 / ECRU 12. I buff this into my t-zone giving me a flawless shine-free finish.

All these products have SPF10 built in and they have helped my oily combination skin look amazing!

I wish I had bought these products years ago and they are already things I can't live without!

EYES

My eyes are one of my best features so I try to make the most of them. I start off by applying Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion in the shade Sin which is a gorgeous metallic champagne colour. This stuff is great as it keeps eye shadows in place all day long with no creasing!

Next I line my lower lash line using Sephora's Contour Eye Pencil in Shade 07 Girl Talk.

I'm currently using the Natural Eyes Palette by Too Faced which is prefect for subtle day time look.

I apply the shade 'Silk Teddy' as my base shadow and then put the shade 'Push-Up' along the crease making sure that it is all well blended.

Inside the Natural Eyes Palette

After blending in the crease colour I take Sephora's Jumbo Liner in shade 20 Beige Glitter and sweep it along my upper lash line and the inner corners of my eyes for a sparkly finish.

After curling my eye lashes I apply lashings of mascara and my favourite for the past 3 years has been Benefit's They're Real. It's seriously the best mascara I've ever had and I hope they never discontinue it!

For my lower lashes I use Clinique's bottom lash mascara in shade 01 Black.

I normally apply 2 coats of mascara and I let the first coat dry, re-curl the lashes and then apply the second coat.

EYEBROWS

Too keep my unruly brows in place I use Too Face's Brow Envy Kit, using the powder to fill in any sparse areas and comb them into shape using the spooly included.

I then use Benefit's Gimme Brow in shade Medium/Deep to set my brows into shape.

CHEEKS

I finish off my face by adding a bit of Too Faced Sweethearts Blusher in 'Candy Glow' and I also apply a little bit of Benefit Watt's Up highlighter under my brow bone and along my cheek bone.

LIPS

I'm not one for mental lip colours and I tend to stick to neutral shades. My current obsession is Topshop's Sheer Lips in shade 'Honky Dory'. It's a beautiful shimmery pinky-brown nude that really enhances your natural lip colour. This was my first Topshop lip product and so far I'm impressed and will definitely be re-purchasing!
