Before and after: FOTD

Yep, that’s right – before and after. I have decided to post a shot of my totally make-up free mug. Sorry in advance….EEk!
Before… make-up free
My skin is ok, but my freckles make it look uneven – don’t get me wrong, I love freckles but mine aren’t prominent enough at the moment (thanks British ‘Summer’) so just make my skin look a bit patchy and uneven and don’t get me started on the dots that are my eyes without a coat of mascara…

So here are the products I used for the ‘After’ FOTD from Saturday:


Face:
Collection 2000 Perfect Finish Foundation in ‘3 biscuit’*
YSL Touche Eclat in 1*
MAC MSF in Medium

Cheeks:
Jelly Pong Pong Cheek Puff in ‘fluffy’* (rediscovered this recently and love the colour it gives)
MAC MSF in By Candlelight (my fave MSF for a glow…)

Eyes:
ELF Eyebrow Treat and Tame in ‘Ash’
Urban Decay Primer Potion in ‘Sin’
Estee Lauder Eyeshadow Duo in ‘Vanilla Pops’* (my new fave daytime shadow, dedicated post to come…)
Benefit ‘They’re Real’ Mascara*
Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara*

Lips
Clinique Chubby Sticks in Whopping Watermelon* (love this!)

Just the essentials… ahem…
And here’s the FOTD for the ‘after’. I like to think I don’t cake on the make-up, so at times I can feel a little like what’s the point? I pretty much just look the same… that’s why I decided to do a ‘before and after’ on my normal face. So I can show myself it is actually worth it!
After. Thank goodness for make-up.

Love the subtle pink of the Clinique Chubby Stick… just my sort of lip product.
SO easy to use!

The eyeshadow…it’s the perfect taupe/beige combination.
So there we have it, a before and after transformation. All I can say is thank goodness for make-up.ย 

Products with a * were PR samples. Others bought by me.

  10. That make up looks so pretty!

  11. Thanks for all the lovely comments everyone, might just give up this beauty blogging malarky and go make-up free since you all have been so nice! Just kidding… but thank you, made putting my make-up free face out there far less scary. xx

    @Natalie@pixielashes – that’s such a nice thing to say! I’ve always dreamed of being a surfer chick type, so maybe just looking it is a start!

    I love this look, it’s so natural and pretty. You are incredibly beautiful (even without makeup)!

    I found your blog via twitter and I am so glad I did. It’s wonderful! I cannot wait to read more of your posts.

    All the best,
    A fellow London beauty blogger,
