SKIN SCHOOL: make-up

Make up Revolution Palettes

Saturday, November 05, 2016

A few weeks ago, I went into Superdrug to check out some items from a brand I hadn't tried before, Make Up Revolution. I'd seen their products on instagram, youtube, etc, and just thought so many of their items were so pretty!
All of the range is super affordable, they do everything from eyes, brows, lips, foundations, concealers, nail polishes, highlighters, and brushes. I bought four of the palettes, and they are beautiful!

The first one I got is the 'Fortune Favours the Brave' eyeshadow palette, £9.99.

There is such a large range of eyeshadow palettes to choose from, it was difficult to choose! I went for this one because it has a mixture of matte shades, and shimmers. It's also quite versatile, there's everyday shades, and also some dramatic ones for when you're going out.

My favourite shades are these shimmery ones, I love them!

They aren't particularly long wearing, however just using an eyeshadow primer would help with this. This palette was actually created and designed by 'British Beauty Blogger', Jane Cunningham.

Then, I also picked up a blush palette, the Ultra Blush Palette in Golden Sugar 2 - Rose Gold, £6.00.

I was drawn to this because of the gorgeous colours. It's a mixture of bronzers and highlighters, and there are also two matte shades.

A couple of these are also really nice worn on the eyes. Again, they aren't particularly long wearing, but for the price, you can't go wrong!

Lastly, I picked up two highlighter palettes. Highlighter is probably my favourite make up item, I love how just a little bit can give you that 'lit from within' look, and can make you appear so much healthier and brighter, even when you're hungover or exhausted! Highlighters are always so pretty to look at, so sparkly and shiny! I'm like a magpie when it comes to sparkly things.

The first one I got is the Ultra Pro Glow palette, £10.00

I love the shades in this palette, they are all so wearable on the eyes as well as the cheeks. I like to apply a little highlighter onto my cheekbones, brow bone, and sometimes my cupids bow.

I also got the Highlight Palette, £8.00. I how gorgeous these look, I could just admire them for ages!

These three shades really give you a reflective, dramatic glow, without loads of glitter particles like some other highlighters. I also like to use this on the inner corners of my eyes to brighten them up, as that area can look really dark.

I would absolutely recommend MakeUp Revolution palettes, they are so affordable, and reasonably good quality. These are perfect for anyone who loves make-up, and I'd also say they're a good option for teenagers as they aren't too expensive.

Have you tried any of the MakeUp Revolution range? I'd love to know what's your favourite!

Topshop Make Up Review

Wednesday, April 06, 2016

Something I love about make-up, is that you can tell straight away whether you like the product. As soon as you apply it, you know if you are happy with it. Whereas with skincare, it isn't as 'instant' as you often need to use it for a little while before you see results.

I picked up two items recently from Topshop's make up range, I've heard such a lot of buzz around the products, I decided to try a couple of things. The products are all very affordable, and the packaging is quite nice too.

I've had one of their products for a long time, their lipstick in the shade 'Nevada' here. I got it after seeing Krystal Dawn use it, she's a make up artist who I follow on Instagram, who often works on celebrities such as Jessica Wright, Vicky Pattison and Michelle Keegan. It's a pale nude colour, I like to wear it if I'm going out somewhere, I don't ever wear lipstick during the day, and I'm not really into bright or dark colours, I prefer more natural looking ones.

It's a perfect 'your lips but better' sort of shade. I like to put a thin layer of gloss over it, otherwise it seems to highlight any dry areas on my lips. It's very inexpensive at £8.00, so I'd definitely recommend checking out some of their other lipsticks.

I recently got the Chameleon Highlighter in Mother of Pearl, here. It's £12.50, and is the most gorgeous shimmery highlighter ever!

It's a lovely golden colour, that looks slightly different colours in different lights (hence the Chameleon name). This is a multi use product that can be used on the eyes, as well as to highlight areas of the face like the cheekbones, cupids bow, etc.

It's very reflective, with golden glittery flecks in it. I have tried this during the day but felt it looked a little too 'obvious' and glitzy on the skin, so I think I'd rather use this in the evening, and I think it'd look great in pictures.

I also got the Chameleon Glow eyeshadow, in Shuffle the Cards, here. It's £9, and this is my favourite one by far.

This is also multi-use, however it's much smaller in size. It's a rose gold colour, but again it almost changes colour under different lights. It has an amazing iridescent finish, and it really sparkles in the light, I love this on the eyes in the evening.

I also a little clip on my instagram page here to show the true colours and extent of the sparkles and reflectiveness! Take a look.

Have you tried any of the Topshop make up range? I hear their liquid liner is great too!
