M A K E U P

M  A  K  E   U  P 

Okay! So I get asked all the time what cleansers I use, what makeup I use to achieve a flawless look.
in the next few weeks I will upload my tricks of the trade and favourite makeup sites for you all to share :)
 
But for now I'll give you some good products to have a look at!
 
Foundation & Moisturiser/Primer
This you must get right if your like me and don't have natural porcelain skin, to pull off an amazing look. so my skin is oily, I get breakouts if I don't use the right products, all in all my skin is not perfect!
HOWEVER.... I use the right cleansers and beautiful makeup and now my skin is great!
so if you have skin like me, I would really recommend using a pore refining moisturiser before you put your foundation on. I'm a HUGE fan of all the Clinique products for troubled skin. They are by far the best on the market, costly I know but its worth it trust me!!

 

 I use the Clinique Pore Refining Matte Moisturiser

 
you can buy it using the link above or search on strawberry net, and other cheaper websites to not pay full price! You don't have to use this one, but I love it for my T-Sections to keep my makeup matte and last all day! (I use this as my primer)
 
Now the big question, what foundations do I use? 
Well I'm going to let you know ive tried almost everything!
I have a few favourites. they aremy number 1 favourite of all time:

 

no.1 Dior Forever  (I use #020, and #030)

 
OH MY GOD FUSION MAKEUP IS THE BEST
 
This makeup is by far in my opinion the best of the best, find it on Google for cheaper or using the strawberrynet link above, this is fusion makeup so it suits any type and words cant describe how amazing it really is.
 
My second favourite would have to be
 
 
it stays on even in water, and it helps blemishes rather than making them worse! the only problem I found with this is I couldn't get the right colour, but I have an odd skin tone! again you can buy this baby via the link or on strawberrynet and other makeup websites

It's always good to use the same powders and the foundations as it will match the colour of the base better however its not compulsory, good powder foundations are the napoleon photo finish, MAC photo finish and of course the Clinique and Dior. I use expensive makeup only because I want to look after my skin and not use makeup with harmful chemicals and oils that block my pores.
 
I hope this helps :) and questions just send away!!

Welcome

Hi Everyone..

 
I've just done the swap from tumblr to create a new blog on here, so lets see how it goes!
My blog will be about my interests, my adventures, my tips and tricks on beauty and fashion, and bits and pieces here and there. I promote a positive and healthy lifestyl
e, however keep in mind I am not a nutritionist, or a PT.
 

A little piece of me ...

For all of you who don't know me here's a little bit about me, ill keep it simple so if you'd like to know anything else just send me a message and ill let you know!
 
I've lived in a lot of places and been to half the countries around the world, I've seen most of Australia, and worked rural in the mines. I've been to five schools, and moved around a lot as a child and love to travel and adventure. I'm extremely spontaneous and I love adrenaline, I've sky dived, bungy jumped,  skii'd, snowboarded, surfed, wake boarded, sailed all sorts of things! However I am a bit of a city slicker as I love fashion and beauty, in saying that I am down to earth and love to camp. I guess I appreciate the best of both worlds! Oh and I love animals :)
