FOTD:- my Quick signature neutral look for girls on the go

Sorry about the pose guys I look, like, super serious!

This is a really quick look suitable for anyone in a hurry and on the go

Whether you are a student, career woman or a yummy mummy

Products used

Nars sheer glow foundation

Garnier tinted eye roll on 

Mac msfn medium dark as bronzer all over as cant be arsed to cover blemises etc individually

Cargo contour palette in 01 malibu on cheeks 

Cargo essential eye palette

Shavata brow pencil in dusk

Rimmel liquid eyeliner 

Bourjois Black khol pencil -smoked on lower lashline and inner rim

Mac viva glam cremesheen gaga lipstick

I chose these products for this look as they are quite easily attainable yet affordable and easily dupe-able!

(most of the products)

NARS SHEER GLOW

this is a light medium coverage foundation for me i treat it like a high coverage tinted moisturiser 

GARNIER TINTED EYE ROLL ON

It works, it neutralises under eye circles and its cooling but you cannot massage with this or you will have product overload -in a hurry you can take the concealer on your lid as a cooling eye base

MAC MINERALIZE SKIN FINISH NATURAL

these are mineral based pressed powders so people are less likely to be agitated by them, they are low coverage and give your skin a satin like finish as they are not matte

CARGO CONTOUR PALETTE FOR CHEEKS

This palette gives you a bronzer like colour to contour with and a blush colour as well as a highlight colour, the shades are quite neutral and a real no-brainer to use so you dont have to consider your shades in a rush (full review coming soon)

CARGO ESSENTIAL EYE SHADOW PALETTE

all neutral complimentary colours, all in one place again a no-brainer product

SHAVATA BROW PENCIL

dual ended pencil by the harrods brow queen -Dusk is my perfect match its like mac brun shadow

RIMMEL LIQUID EYELINER

super cheap available everywhere, precise thin brush in traditional dip pot, decent black shade lasts a long time.

BOURJOIS KHOL CONTOUR 

in ultra black, its a really good black, great payoff and pigmentation however it spreads like fire!

MAC VIVA GLAM LIPSTICK

I try to buy makeup where contributions are made to charities such as aids and breast cancer 

this is a light pink creamy lipstick great for alot of looks it does not need gloss over

I forgot to mention mascara Ive recently been trying lash enhancing mascaras so far I have tried Loreal, Cargo original and Cargo extreme and recently Revlon. 
I find it saves time to use an enhancing product as I get some natural length


Also I was sent the Cargo contour palette for review -full review coming soon!

MAC brown based blushes

I thought Id share some of my mac brown based blushes as they are very versatile and suit most if not all skintones.
To be honest you can use any shade on anyone you just have to use it right.
below are just my thoughts and recommendations for best results ofcourse you can buy and use what you want to.

Clove- Pro blush pan deep matte brown shade, great for contouring on skintones darker than nc40
Get away bronze- ltd ed Shimmery bronze shade great as a bronzey blush
Prim and Proper- Ltd ed Neutral shade suits all skintones as its a pink brown
Enough said - ltd ed beauty powder blush, golden shimmery mid brown, suits medium skin tones best.
Garb - ltd ed lightest brown blush shade in a mtte finish fantastic on pale to light skintones.
Light over dark- ltd ed, mineralize duo, neutral shimmery brown, light side can be used as highlight.

Thanx for stopping by and thanx for subscribing

Wanna press your pigments and loose shadows?

Ummm, well I really wanted to as well, I thought it would be very convenient to have all of my Barry M loose shadows pressed into a MAC Palette so that they are easier and more convenient to use.

So I went through the effort of importing empty pans and magnets from a seller in USA and pressed each shadow and I was really happy.

Unfortunately all shadows are weaker in this type of cheap magnet held palette anyway.

but loose powders hand pressed are even weaker and can smash with each tiny little knock.

 The below palette managed to protect its contents more -maybe because its lighter in weight? or maybe because it was used less?
The top palette holds my favourite colours.
Ohh btw pressing can effect the shade of the pigments they may get prettier or worsten but either way their can be a difference.

I hope you found this helpful

Which MAc foundation is best to use?

I have already said it a million times I dont recommend MAC foundations for daily useage, these products are created for makeup artist with effects in mind not really for daily useage though they may work for some people but many people complain about irritations and break outs

Above is not my complete collection of MAC foundations
I also have Face and body, Studio tech foundation, MAC full coverage foundation, Studio fix powder plus, Studio sculpt I gave away and Select moisture blend I finished.

The above pictured are my best recommendations for mac foundations


For All Skintypes 
MAC select spf15 fluid foundation (pump purchased separately)
This is light medium coverage and has good incredients for your skin so hopefully you should not have skin problems with this
It goes nicely with Select loose powder
MAC- Select sheer loose powder 
which is very fine and light and is not heavy, gives minimal coverage so the wrong colour can affect your foundation and skintone, will stop shine for about 4- hours depending on skin type but hold your foundation longer.
MAC Select Concealer - Gives moderate coverage yet does not cake, in a very hygienic tube and a very generous size so its good value for money.
MAC studio finish concealer -This is a thick and heavy solid concealer, it does give high coverage and has an SPF of 35 -Amazing! I like to carry this in my bag for touchups especially in summer as I have horribly sensitive skin which looks like typical brown asian skin but it burns like a white skin -so not fair!! The bad point is that this may melt and leak at high temperatures!
For dry skins
MAC mineralize Satin finish foundation -
this gives low coverage but its a shimmery mineral foundation -think Bare Escentuals mineral foundation
its specifically formulated for dry skins but it can be worn by anyone as its a light moussey formula.
This is also available in a new compact version now  which is just as nice and best for people on the go or prefer compacts.

If you want any reviews on any foundations etc -let me know
but remember to check the existing posts about these foundations in previous posts, probably listed under MAC or Foundations concealers and powders.
