Hello Spring

Whatever April, May and June have in store, I think I'm ready.

Cranberry

Cranberry. What a great colour.

I love using deep red shades in the Autumn and Winter times, but they can also look super duper lovely in the Spring.

My fav shade to use is Cranberry from MAC. It's so beautiful.

I was actually really inspired by this picture...

I love how blown out and soft this look is, and I also love that there is no fuss. There is no transition shade or a deeper colour in the outer corner. It's just cranberry. (Plus a lil pop of highlight).

It doesn't always have to be a cut crease, a winged liner, full on lashes or a SUPER DUPER HIGH PIGMENT. Sometimes a wash of beautiful colour is all you need.

My Everyday Makeup Look

This has been my favourite makeup look to wear recently. I think it looks so effortless but still really put together. 

My new obsession is using brown eyeliner in the tightline and waterline, and then smudging it out using a deep brown eyeshadow and a pencil brush. I don't know why this is so appealing to me, but I just love it. I'm literally obsessed with all of the products I use to create this look, and they're all recent purchases, so I can't wait to share them with you...
