Apologies if this post is a bit on the long side.
As Summer is slowly creeping up on us, I have been experimenting with plenty of new makeup looks. Throughout Winter I loved a nice dark eye, but I thought I should brighten it up a bit. Recently I have been wearing a lot of pinks and light browns on my lids, and also nudes on my lips.
I have a Spring Day and Night look to show you guys and I hope you like them and if you are interested in these 'Makeup Tutorial' posts please don't be afraid to leave me a comment as I am open to everyone suggestions. Anything to make my blog that bit more interesting to people!
Okay enough of my babbling, lets get onto these looks.

Okay enough of my babbling, lets get onto these looks.
Day
Step 1: Prime face with Maybelline Baby Skin Primer. I tend to focus on my t-zone but you can apply it all over your face if you prefer.
Step 2: Apply Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation all over your face. I applied mine using my Real Techniques Buffing Brush.
Step 3: Using the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder apply all over your face to set the foundation. I used the Sarah Ashton Powder Brush.
Step 4: Apply a thin line of liquid eyeliner to the top lash line. Make sure it is very thing because if it is too thick it looks a bit like a dark, winter style makeup. I used the 17 High Drama Intense Liquid Eyeliner.
Step 5: In my opinion adding mascara is essential in any makeup look. It adds volume and thickness. I use one coat of Rimmel Scandal Eyes Retro Glam and one coat of Rimmel Scandal Eyes Rockin Curves on my top lashes and on my bottom lashes I used one coat of the LancĂ´me Hypnose Mascara.
Step 6: To finish I apply the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer under my eyes to cover up any dark circles. I blend it in with my Real Techniques Pointed Foundation Brush. I then set the concealer using the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder and Real Techniques Contour Brush.
Finished Look:
Night
Steps 1, 2 and 3 are repeated.
Step 4: When going out at night in spring it is A-Okay to darken your eyes and lips. So to achieve a nice dark smokey eye, use browns and blacks. Apply a light brown as the bad colour all over your lid and into the crease. Using a darker brown apply in the crease and in a "C" shape on the outer corner of the eye. Then using a clean detailer brush define the "C" shape made previously with a black eyeshadow.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 from above.
Step 6: Lipstick, for me, is a must in any going out makeup look. I prefer a nice red lipstick. Using a lip brush apply from the outside of your lips in. I'm using the Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish in 01.
Finished Look:
Please ignore my awkward selfies, I hate taking them!
That is it for yet another Friday post.
