cheap make-up

So, this is a new kind of post, which I have never done before! It’s for 2013 Spring, and it’s my personal essentials…. and a few which I generally just love!

1 – MUA Artiste Palette, 2 – MUA Mascara, MUA Royal Blue Eyeliner, Bourjois Liner Pen & The Body Shop Kohl Liner, 3 – Collection 2000 Glam Crystals, 17 Ultimate Volume Lip Gloss & 2true Cover and Conceal Stick, 4 – Beauty UK Eye Shadow Collection, Miss Sporty Eyeshadow, 5 – M&S Autograph Mascara, 6 – Monthly Edition of Company Magazine.

For S/S 13 Bright eyes are the best! That’s why I have 2 of my favourite palettes, MUA Artiste Collection & Beauty UK. They are both very cheap, but do the job just fine. Also, natural beauty is hot to, so that’s why I chose these 2 mascaras. The MUA one is perfect because it doesn’t clump, and it creates a really nice natural look. The M&S one creates amazing long, curly lashes which also look really natural. My favourite concealer is this 2true Stick. It blends really well, and looks very natural, plus, there are other colours too!

Oh Yay! 3rd December 🙂 Only 22 days until Christmas! I hope you are all ready 🙂 We’re putting up our tree in the next week and I am so excited to get everything feeling christmasy! So here is your third online advent prezzie!

Barry M Moisturising Lip Paints £4.49 (ASOS)

I have had someone answer in my Survey, that they wanted some posts on cheap make-up, so I decided to do a post on how to create a celebrity look using cheap make-up. So here it is…. (Picture found via Glamour.com)

Jessica Alba

 1: FOUNDATION, CONCEALER & PRIMER.

PRIMER £4.00, CONCEALER £1.99, FOUNDATION £3.49.

Jessica has quite a glowing tone, and the Foundation I have chosen is really light and natural, and the Concealer matches really well. Primers are handy because they make sure that the Make-Up applied on top stays for longer, and it also makes any colour stand out stronger.

2: EYE MAKE-UP, LASHES & EYEBROW PENCIL.

MASCARA £1.00, LASHES £1.99, EYEBROW PEN £2.59 & EYESHADOW £1.00.

Jessica is working a smokey eye, but with a little bit of pinky colour, so these MUA £1.00 are brilliant for this look!

3. BLUSHER,BRONZER & POWDER.

POWDER £1.99, BRONZER £1.00 & BLUSHER £1.00.

For the Powder, Blusher & Bronzer you want light natural colours to compliment the smoky eyes.

4: LIPS

LIPSTICK £1.49 & LIPGLOSS £1.99.

This Lipstick & Gloss go really well, but make sure when applying that you only use the Gloss as a highlighter and only apply to the center of the lips.

So, all together the total of this Jessica Alba look is…

TOTAL PRICE = £26.53!

Here’s a collection for Summer, all from Boots. This collection is for a natural look, and it’s quite cheap!
