My Daily Makeup Look Tutorial

Heeeeeey all, I have been asked loads of times to do a makeup tutorial but I have always kind of shied away-I am not the typical ‘internet makeup guru’ type but I thought I would step out of my comfort zone yet again and do one for you. I hope you enjoy it-I’m sorry the lighting is crap-I just did it with my iPad! I have got to get Joe’s Go Pro sorted so I can start using that. I will put links…

New brand Proto-col have caught my eye with their baked mineral products and sturdy brushes. I've been testing out the products this week and much like the Mulberry Eyeshadow I reviewed in early March  (here) the quality and pigment and product make this brand worth checking out.

First up is the Baked Mineral Shimmer "Apricot Swirl" dubbed by beauty bloggers as the next best thing to Mac's much coveted and Stereo Rose Mineralize Skin Finish this cheek blush gives a very beautiful not too obvious hew of colour. Like most mineral baked products you can apply this wet for an intense sheen (mua take note). These retail at £27.95 & you can purchase them here. 

Next I have been trying out the equally gorgeous Baked Mineral Foundation  in "Dover" . Despite it's glowy appearance I was surprised to find the product went on semi-matte with a medium coverage *yay*. I'm not sure how large their colour range will become but this suited my skin perfectly and I'm quite fair. The ingredients look pretty amazing too with Jojoba, Green Tea, Rosemary and Lavender extracts = Soothing! 

I was happy to find out that Proto-col also make brushes and was really impressed with the quality and feel of their "Large Blusher" brush which works beautifully with the Baked Mineral products and other makeup : 

I will certainly be keen to try out more brushes from their full set -  New brushes make me a very happy bunny! :) Their brushes are animal cruelty free made with synthetic material instead of animal hair. The full brush set cost £49.95 which you can buy here ! 

This week I'm trying out lots of lovely new products and a little makeup fairy sent me a sample of this gorgeous baked mineral eyeshadow! I'd not heard of the brand Proto-col before but the product is lush!

The packaging is sleek with a mirrored finish. The product itself has great colour pay off. Its a mineral base so naturally has a little sheen to it but the three colours give off a great finish. With all eyeshadows I would always suggest using a primer underneath for the best results and to give longevity. 

  I tried the colour out tonight and it's really lush. Just use a good base like Mac Paint Pot Painterly or Urban Decay Primer Potion then layer the medium shade with  a flat brush onto the lid and blend out. Follow this with the darkest shade in the crease of the eye and blend. Top with lots of mascara and a really nice deep red lip ( i used mac Deeply Adored lipstick with Current Lip pencil ) No eyeliner necessary. Keep skin glowy. This is a great evening look as it doesn't take very long. For a stronger eye and softer lip combo you could use a darker base like a strong brown eye kohl, smudge all over lid and then apply the eyeshadows in exactly the same way but with a nude lip.
