Beauty Thursday: My "Quick" Makeup Routine

If you follow me on Twitter, you will know that I am currently in the middle of the production process for a play. This involves long days, and long weeks. A number of people have asked me what I do on days when I feel tired but I still need to go to rehearsal and I want to look "fresh" so to speak.This is my super quick beauty routine that I have been turning to for the past few weeks.

Face:

1.I start by applying Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream all over my face and down my neck. I apply this using my fingers, and I am currently wearing it in the shade Light/Medium.

2. Next I grab my Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer and I lightly contour my jaw, under my cheekbones, and sides of my forehead.

3. I then choose a gingery/peachy coloured blush and I apply that along my cheekbones, blending upwards.

4. I take my Almay CC Concealer and Brightener Duo, and going in with the concealer. I apply it under my eyes and around my nose. This is a very sheer formula which is perfect for me because I don't really have too bad undereye circles, just a little redness.

5. Then I take the brightener from the same duo and I apply that onto my browbone, down my nose, and along the tops of my cheekbones.

Eyes:
1. I fill in my brows with a waxy eye brow pencil and then brush them through with a spoolie.

2. Next I curl my lashes, and sometimes I will apply mascara, but if it is going to be a very long day, I just skip eye makeup all together.

Lips:

1. For my lips I grab one of my Revlon Lip Butters and apply it starting from the centre of my lip outwards.


That's it! This literally takes 5 minutes and it lasts all day long. I hope you enjoyed this makeup look and if you are ever super busy I encourage you to try it and let me know what you think!

Whatever Wednesdays: Victoria Beckham Hair How-To

  Victoria Beckham Ponytail: With her long dark brown hair, Victoria Beckham's hairstyle of choice has become the ponytail. This style is quick, and ultra chic. 1. Start with day-old hair (or even if you are starting with freshly washed hair) and spritz with a volumizing dry shampoo. 2. Pull your hair back with your fingers, smoothing over any stray hairs. 3. Once you have your ponytail in the desired place, fasten with a hair tie. 4. Take your straightener and run it over the ends of your ponytail, to give it a sleek effect. 5. Add a tiny dot of shine serum to the ends. Simply rub the serum between your palms, and run your hands over the end of your ponytail. Voila! Tu es fini, and you have a simple and chic hairdo. xx JD Please leave me a comment let me know what you think!  If you have any questions or suggestions: Email me: jessicadonna96@gmail.com

Throwback Everyday Makeup Tutorial

Hello everyone! If you know me, you'll know that I have a slight makeup problem... I have way too much! But I can't help it, I just love it so, and I honestly look forward to putting my makeup on every morning. So today I decided I would do a quick post on my fave go to glam look for daytime. It looks quite heavy, but because I'm using mineral makeup it feels like I'm wearing no face makeup at all! My skin is quite sensitive and dry, so for the longest time I thought that mineral makeup wouldn't work for my skin, but boy was I wrong! I was at Winners recently and saw that they had a couple Bellapierre Cosmetics mineral makeup sets on sale for $14... So I thought I'd try it out, and now I can never go back to regular liquid foundations! Mineral makeup is considered to be better for your skin as it is natural, and usually only contains 3-4 natural ingredients. Bellapierre foundation has an SPF of 15 which can cause a little bit of flashback, so if ...
