Usually I’m happiest with my makeup when I haven’t thought too much about it. It’s total sod’s law, but my looks seem to always turn out much better when I don’t video them! I think it might actually be because when I’m filming I use a small compact mirror – and that’s only every now and then when I need to check that I don’t have huge patches of foundation missing or lipstick on my teeth – and the rest of the time I sort of guesstimate what I’m doing in the flip-out screen of the camera. When I’m just tootling along doing my face in my own time, I use a proper big mirror and I’m concentrating only on my makeup, rather than chatting and zooming-in and making sure that I’m not gurning as I apply my mascara.
Anyway, I was very happy with my face for the Marc Jacobs lipstick shots, so here’s what I had on. Apart from the MJ lipstick in Moody Margot (see here) I was wearing the Bourjois City Radiance foundation in shade 2 (see review here – I still like the Healthy Mix better, but this does give an amazing glow!), Bobbi Brown Illuminating Powder in Bare (here), YSL Touche Eclat Neutraliser in Bisque (under the eyes for a bit of added brightness and warmth, find it here) and the new l’Oreal False Lash Sculpt Mascara (here) which has a very odd little brush but gives very good lash.
I really need to do a mascara post – I’ve tried so many good ones recently &#...
