Makeup Trend: Bare Faced and Bright Eyes

From looking at runways from Fashion Week across the globe to observing what's trending in the makeup community online, the recurring makeup look that is being worn is a barely there complexion with your natural skin shining through with bold and bright eye makeup. It is a fun and simple trend that really accentuates and enhances a persons natural features, which I love and it just looks so effortless and beautiful. It's also weird to consider how runway makeup and the #onfleek makeup worn on social media are polar opposites.

I love this soft, fresh-faced Mermaid inspired look worn by Kendall at this particular show. It looks super effortless and beautiful.

 

Alexis Mabille S/S 2016

This shows you don't need perfect skin to achieve a natural base, just a good concealer and a lighter coverage foundation! That's how I've liked covering blemishes and imperfections recently, along with the brushing upwards of the brows. Also, these 70s inspired eyes are super fun and playful.

Marc Jacobs Spring 2016

According to Harpers Bazaar, Francois Noir said backstage at the show "We always like to do the opposite of what other people do", and you can really see this in this makeup look. Keeping to the trend but venturing out with undone hair and spider lashes. Maybe not best for an everyday look!

A makeup artist who I've followed on Instagram for a while and completely obsessed over is Ania Milczarczyk from Sydney (I definitely had to copy that letter for letter from her page) and she has created this on-trend look multiple times and it looks simply beautiful.

After receiving some fancyyy high end makeup for my birthday and going on a little Superdrug dash earlier this month, I have ended up with a few favourites to show you all!

First of all, my favourite lippies right now which are the Maybelline Baby Lips. I love the lip balms as I find them really moisturing on my lips and the tinted ones give a gorgeous wash of colour, I had a few of these before but these are the newest ones I've got and I lurve them! The Baby Lips in Mint Fresh is one of the un-tinted ones with a lovely strawberry scent (nah i jokes its mint, lel) and I slather this on for a night time lip balm.

I really really really love the Electro Baby Lips in Berry Bomb, I was after a purple lippie but I didn't want a crazy intense lipstick to start off so this was a great option. It's a gorgeous purple sheen on the lips, as you can see, and it comes off more pink in swatches and on the lips which is a bit more au natural. I like to re-apply this a few times throughout the day to get a more intense colour, too.

My next favourite is this Benefit foundation, the sample looks tiny but it actually has a lot of product in and I have two so this should last a while. This is a gorgeous dewy foundation with quite a light coverage, so I mix it with my Garnier Oily Skin BB Cream to get something a bit fuller (which I prefer to cover blemishes) and a better shade match. It makes my skin look so nice and glowy! I'm even considering getting the full size after my samples run out!

I've also been loving the They're Real! mascara and liner, the mascara makes my lashes look like natural falsies and it gives so much volume, length AND seperation.

The liner is the best that I've tried. This is a swatch of it next to the Electro lip balm and as you can see.. it is SO black, SO long-lasting and SO bloody amazing. It took me a little bit of time to get used to it but when you use it properly, you get amazing results! I also really like that the applicator prevents the product getting into your lashes as I struggle with that when I use liquid liners.

Finally, I have this Primark (yes, Primark) powder foundation brush which I have been loving to apply liquid foundations and powder.. it is literally only £1.50 and it is such an amazing quality brush! It applies foundation so beautifully and gives a gorgeous, airbrush finish and it is so soft too!

I really recommend Primark brushes for beginners as they really are great quality and value for money :)

Next blog posts you'll see from me with be a Lush haul and OOTD in sha Allah, but yeah I hope you've liked this one and see yaaar.
