How to: Daytime Make up!

Today, I'm going to tell how you about easy, quick and beautiful day time make up! We all know what its like on a busy monday morning, waking up late, jumping in a cold shower, your coffee has cooled by now, your can't get the hair dryer plugged it quick enough. You've picked up your make up bag speedily and smashed your compact ... everythings going wrong on the morning you have the most important interview and you want to look your best?!?! Sound familiar? ..... Now there's no excuses.. Heres how to apply a fresh beautiful face of make up simply without looking flushed or paniced..

1. using a sponge, apply a powder-foundation formaula (a cream base that turns into a powder) it's simple to use and because it provides great coverage, you can skip conceal and powder. You can literally 'wipe' it on your face and neck (never forget the neck) (30 seconds)
2. apply a blush to the apples of your cheeks and bronzer to your hairline, temples, cheekbones, nose, chin and neck (60 seconds)
3. line your eyes with an eye liner pencil or wet eye shadow (60 seconds)

4. apply mascara (60 seconds)
5. stick on your favourite lipstick or gloss (10 seconds)
6. (optional) with a few seconds to spare, either add one pretty wash of colour to your entire eyelid crease before you apply the liner or fill in your brows, or a quick dab of concealer

Individual Lash .. How to:

Its my prom very soon and I decided that I wanted my make up to be subtle, natural but beautiful. My usual daily eye make up constists of black liquid eye liner and mascara, black eye liner pencil (optional/by mood/outfit) My eye make up is inspired by Lauren Conrad.. so for prom I wanted to follow my usual (known by my friends) look.. but not too heavy! As eye lashes have come up trumps this year I decided that they would be a brilliant way to add instant glamour to my short unseen lashes. I have used strip lashes a few times at the begining of this year (for my sisters birthday dinner) and they worked nicely. I was pleased with the final result. But I already know some of my friends are planning on wearing heavy black strip lashes to prom, so I decided I wanted a more subtle glamourous look. For Christmas I got given my inspiration, Lauren Conrad's, Style book! The book briefs girls about the basics in hair and make up. Theres a section on false eye lashes, and luckily individual lashes. So I have been inspired to wear them as the book says the end result is subtle and flattering, and not heavy! (the look I am aiming for)

I've brushed up on my lash tips for easy application.. so here goes.. I will:

1. Apply two coats of mascara to my lashes
2. place a dollop of lash glue onto either a clean surface or the back of my hand, and let it dry for atleast a minute so it gets tacky (not too dry though)
3. with tweezers or fingers (personal choice) pull out 3 longs, 4 mediums and 3 shorts and place them in seperate rows either on the back of your hand or a clean surface (this is per eye)
4. starting with the outside corner of one eye place 2 longs on the very end, as close to each other as possible. Point them outward at a 45 degree angle to get a cat eye look
5. directly next to them, start adding lashes moving towards the centre of your eye in this order: 1 medium, 1 long, 3 mediums, 3 shorts. If you dont have much room between your lashes and your eyebrow and the longs look to costumy swap them for mediums (5 mediums and 5 shorts)
6. (bottom optional) on your bottom lash line place 3 minis on the outside corners, carefully inserting them in between the real lashes. If your own lashes are super long, use 3 shorts instead. Just make sure you apply them so that they are pointing down and not up (you need to invert them)
7. coats lashes (both top and bottom) with a clean lick of mascara to bridge any gaps between your real lashes and the false lashes

Finally your look is complete... a subtle but absolutely beautiful lash look! Post your comments and images below..
