Face of the Day | A Lil' Somethin' Extra
This is the make-up I wore on this day when I went for some casual Sunday afternoon drinks.
A bright red lip doesn't necessarily screen 'casual Sunday', but I just felt like adding a lil' somethin' extra, ya know? Nothing like a spot of bold lippy to lift your mood :)

My highlighters #1: The Body Shop Brush on Radiance
One of my key aims when I'm wearing make-up is to make myself look more awake, alert and healthy. My favourite trick to achieve this is to use highlighter. I usually apply it to the tops of my cheekbones, and often also work it upwards to my temples to draw attention to my eyes.
I'm going to be bold and say that this is my favourite from my little collection of highlighters: It's called Brush on Radiance, from The Body Shop.
I love that it has different coloured pearls. They give a pretty decent shimmer to the skin - If you're after something sheer and glowy, this may be ever so slightly too glittery for you. But, as we all know, I love glitter, and the tiny, tiny glitter particles in this give the perfect amount of radiance that I'm after. For me, this is the perfect everyday highlighter - I don't leave the house without it!
Do you like to wear highlighter as well? What are some of your favourites?

Your Personal Colour Palette | Part 2
If you missed last week's post explaining the concept behind your Personal Colour Palette, you can take a peek here.
This week we're applying the same concept to create an evening make up look.
And we're using my face as an example again :)
Here I've gone for a similar peachy-pink toned blush as last time. On my eyes, I've combined a chocolate brown (a similar colour to my eyes) with a golden bronze (like my hair colour). And finally, on my lips I've got a swipe of a dark orange lip crayon.
So there you have it - My trick to using make up colours that will always compliment the colour tones that are naturally in your face and hair.
Have you given this trick a try? If you have, I'd love to know how you went! Send me a photo or let me know in the comments :)
