Day to Night Make Up - Feat Naked 3 Palette

Here's my pretty make up look to get you from day to night this winter featuring the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette that my incredible brother bought me for christmas (I owe him big time for that).

Day Make Up:

Liz Earle Skin Repair moisturiser

MaxFactor Facefinity 3 In 1 foundation - Light Ivory

Collection 2000 concealer - 2 Light

Maybelline Super Stay 24H powder - Ivory

Maybelline Dream Sun bronzer - Blonde

L'oreal Super Liner eyebrow pencil - 03 Brunette

Rimmel Sofy Kohl eye liner - Jet Black (only for tight line)

Urban Decay Naked 3 palette 

- Dust to lids

- Buzz to crease

- Strange to brow bone and inner corner of eye

Maybelline the Falsies

Vaseline

In the early hours of the morning we do not want to spend hours on our make up but still want to look bright or presentable at least. This look leaves you looking awake (from the light and shimmery colours used on the eyes) and flawless (with the full coverage concealer) with ease.

Night Make Up:

Maybelline Dream Sun bronzer - Brunette

(to add emphasis to cheek bones)

Urban Decay Naked 3 palette

- Mooner between brow bone and crease to blend out

- Blackheart to outer corner of eye and under lower lash line

- Dust to inner part of lid for a touch up

Maybelline Master Duo eye liner (I forgot to do this)

Add emphasis with Maybelline the One by One mascara

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable balm stain - Crush Beguin

 *Of course touch up foundation, concealer if you need to

To glam up your day look so you're ready for a night out you want to add a bit of colour to your face. Do this by adding a pop of colour to your lips and some smokiness to your eyes to get that sexy look.

The Sock Bun

So I've been hearing about a hair comeback called the "sock bun". So I did a bit of research into what exactly a sock bun is. Now don't get your hopes up, it's literally a bun around a sock. 
However I will admit it is easier than using a donut and gives the same, if not better effect. It took me 10 minutes to do, that includes making the sock ring itself and taking pictures whilst doing it, so it should take you 5 minutes to complete.

So here's a step by step guide to The Sock Bun:

1. Grab a sock and cut the ball end of the sock off

2. Roll the sock up into a ring

3. Tie hair up in pony tail, style it how you wish the bun to appear (high, low, sleek, messy, lots of volume etc.) 

4. Place hair through sock and push down to the hair band. Place all hair so it surrounds the sock

5. Wrap hair around sock 

 6. Secure with hair pins when desired look is achieved

 Final Result
