Vintage Inspired

Vintage inspired make-up is a very simple look to pull off, it requires very little products and is all about creating that perfect looking procelain complexion.

In this look I have used Clarins Everlasting Foundation in 107 Beige which is one of my everyday favourites. You only need to use a very small amount as it is a full coverage foundation and does blend a long way. 

When creating a vintage look all eye products are mainly used on the top lid and lashes only, keeping the underneath of the eye very bare with maybe just a touch of white eyeliner to brighten. 

To finish off, define the brows and pick out your favourite red lipstick for that glamorous retro look.

BB Cream

BB Cream is everywhere right now so thought I had better try it out and see what all the fuss is about. 
For anyone who doesn't know what BB Cream is, it technically stands for Blemish Balm and is a multi-function cream that has coverage and skincare properties. It is designed to even out complexion, cover minor imperfections and redness, hydrate and brighten the skin all in one.


Below I decided to try No7 'Beautiful Skin' BB Cream as an alternative to using a full foundation and was really impressed with how my skin looked after use. A good thing about this particular cream was that I could choose the right one for my skin type and skin tone, and it also has the added protection of SPF15 and 5* UVA which makes it useful for me to take on holiday.
 Overall I thought this product worked really well on my skin and will definitely be using it more often in my make-up looks :)
