bare all!!!

Hey guys,
everyone knows some/ most girls on this planet wear makeup and some girls when they are not wearing make up feel very self conscious about them self, I myself am one of those girls, I wont leave the house without makeup mostly my eyes.
ive asked four lovely bloggers to be a apart of my bare all post and to tell you(the readers how they feel with out make up. to kick start it off is myself.


Demi malcolm/21
When I have no make up on I feel incredibly unlike myself, you see I have the most horrible birthmark in the most awful place, the end of my nose, I feel ugly and stupid when I don't have anything on my face due to this and also due to my scars just below my lips, I also have tiny eyes so when I have makeup on I can make my eyes look bigger and fuller, make up to me is amazing as it helps me hide the imperfects I can't get rid of.

 I feel odd without make-up as I have a really uneven skin tone, as I broke my nose a little while ago  I feel like make-up can help disguise the curve especially with contouring!. I feel more confident with make-up on as my skin looks so much better and is actually all one tone, but I like how my skin feels without make up on.  I'm a lot less confident and I wouldn't feel comfortable going outside.

Like 90% of girls, I rarely leave the house without make up, even if its just to do the weekly shop! Sounds bad I know but we're all like it lets be honest. Without make up the confidence isn't there, I don't feel the way I do with make up. It may seem something small but make up gives me that confidence and makes me feel happier and ready to face the world. But its not only that - I love experimenting with new products, its fun and I love the feeling of finding something new that I love or that changes my whole look. Make up can do incredible things to a girl, things guys would never understand!

When I don't wear make up, I feel exposed. I literally don't feel like myself. I have to at least wear eyeliner if I'm going out somewhere for instance the shop. My skin isn't too bad I get occasional breakouts where I will have to wear foundation but the majority of the time my skin is ok. I have inherited dark circles under my eyes which cannot be covered by make up but some concealers make them less prominent. When I have make up on I feel confident and more like myself. If I feel particularly bad about how I look then make up can make me feel slightly better about myself. Over time I have started to wear less make up but I don't think I could ever go without wearing eyeliner! 


kristy colclough/22
It's so strange to think about how different makeup can make someone feel and sometimes I didn't feel so naked without it. In my picture where I am wearing no make up you can see that I have quite pale skin, which I actually don't mind too much as it's part of who I am. What I do hate is how many blemishes I have, and that I have naturally rosy cheeks... Just not in the right places. I find that without make up I always look blotchy and red in the face. The other thing I hate are my eyes as without makeup I feel as though they are unnoticeable. I have really small eyelashes that have no natural volume and without eyeliner to define my eyes I feel that they look really small and tired. I do actually leave the house without makeup at times but I do feel as though people think I haven't made an effort or in don't care about my appearance, which is simply not the case.
I absolutely love makeup and beauty and have for as long as I can remember. When I am wearing makeup I have to admit I feel a lot better in myself, especially getting compliments on my makeup or someone tells me that I look nice. I love putting makeup on an trying new techniques and when I am wearing makeup I feel a lot more confident, even if I am trying to recreate a natural look. There is something about it that makes me feel amazing. As you can tell in the picture the look is quite natural, which I like, but there is nothing I enjoy more than a full face of makeup for a night out or special occasion and I love getting ready just as much as I like going out :). 
I don't think makeup makes people look better at all as people are beautiful with or without makeup. What I do understand is how it can make someone feel better about themselves and make someone who they are.

"showing out those party eyes "

"showing out those party eyes"

I've been wanting to test out makeup revolution for such a long time, but i couldn't find a superdrug store that stocked them. Untill i came home to london and the store in located 5 minutes from my house happened to sell them, so i treated my self to 2 of the gift boxes they had.

I am so happy with the items i received within the boxes and after almost a month of testing them out im extremely happy to say THIS BRAND IS INCREDIBLE. 



This review is all about the makeup revolution "showing out" eyeshadow pallet, on the back of the gift set this pallete came in it says "the exclusive eyeshadow pallete" so according to my box its a exclusive pallet.
The pallete comes in quite standard packaging which i prefer, if the packaging is too bold it takes your attention away from the actual products inside.
The packaging is a black plastic container, a see through lid and the writing "make up revolution" in gold.

yes the packaging is dirty I like to test products
before reviewing and I'm not a photo hoarder
Within the packaging you have a double sided eyeshadow brush with 2 pads on either side, the brush is also black and contains the writing makeup revolution in gold.
 

You have 12 eye shadow within the packaging, the colours are absolutely stunning and incredibly pigmented.

Most of the eyeshadows are crazily pigmented, but a few of them are very light and doesn't have much pigment within, so when applying you hace to use a bit more then normal to make it noticeable.
The colours which are NOT very pigmented are white, off white baby pink, baby pink, and metallic silver. Its only 4 out of the 12 that have low pigmentation.

this pallet is amazing I'm so glad I brought this pallet as my first, my favourite colour in this pallet is the gold its just so pretty and shiny it just looks incredible on with a pair of beautiful false lashes to compliment the colour of eye shadow.

I don't know if anyone else has tried this out but OMG you need to I've fallen in love with this pallet so would you.

Real techniques limited edition

Real techniques
If you follow my Instagram or twitter you would know that my most favourite make up brushes are the real techniques by Samantha chapman.
these brushes was created by a professional makeup artist who wanted to create affordable, high-end  brushes that you can buy in such stores as boots and Superdrug's.
I for Christmas I got 5 more real techniques brushes I have a huge collection already but I really wanted the limited edition cuts so my dad,
(he was in charge of buying gifts this year due to my mother working)
went and brought me them after searching for while as most dads do not know anything about makeup let alone makeup brushes.
the brushes come in a square black box with a see through lid, within the box there is 5 brushes placed very carefully in a foam square shape, the foam has a array of colours on the box ranging from purple, pink and orange in a few cool patterns.
on the back of the box you have a description of Samantha chapman and what the five brushes in the box do and what ones are the special cuts.


The brushes that come in the box are....

  • duo-fiber face brush: for lightweight application + blending of face powder or pigments
  • cheek brush (set exclusive): evenly applies makeup across cheekbone for a more dramatic finish
  • angled shadow brush (set exclusive): perfectly cut for layering eye shadow in the crease
  • base shadow brush: applies a smooth, flawless foundation of colour
  • eyeliner brush (set exclusive): firm, angled head for optimal control along lash line

  • I haven't used every brush in this collection yet as there so beautiful and I would hate to ruin them (yes I know you buy makeup brushes to use)
    the brushes I have used are
    1.eyeliner brush
    2.duo-fiber
    3.blusher brush
    these brushes have been amazing and I can't wait to use the rest of them to see how much they make a difference to a everyday makeup routine.
    Once my brushes have been used more ill post a review about them.
