There's nothing complex about this look. I've been reaching for the Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Airbrush Foundation in fair-light honey for a quick and simple base.  While I still have some blemishes that can't be covered, the effort can't be bothered these days when I'm battling between revision and spending time with friends. However, the dreaded under eye circles are still concealed by my trusty Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer. Using a bit of The Body Shop Honey Bronzer for some light contouring and the prettiest peach blush - Clinique Peach Pop - to add some colour back into the face, I then go in with my new favourite makeup item (and an early birthday gift from Jaye!), theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer to add some serious glow to the top of my cheekbones. As once a girl that would be 500 ft away from anything glowy, I'm loving the highlighted sheen. 

For brows, it's of course, going to be the Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade, natural looking, quick and won't budge throughout the day? Yes, please! Most people start storing eyeliner away for the warmer months, but I think I'm counteracting that movement. For the past month, the eye look has been pretty consistent. Taking a mix of the Foxy and W.O.S from the Urban Decay Naked Basics all over the lid, I then take the ashy, taupe Naked 2 shade into the crease to add some definition. Then I smudge my favourite eyeliner, the Rimmel Scandaleyes Kohl Kajal in Bronze on my top and lower lash line, adding a bit more soft smoky definition without being overboard. Adding some of the Nude eyeliner from the same line into the waterline, a quick curl and a coat of L'Oreal Miss Manga Mascara later, I'm done with the look. 

I don't tend to reach for a lip colour on days I know I'm just going to spend eating away - and for my birthday, that's exactly what I have planned.
