MY BEAUTY LOVES

After my slightly pessimistic post about what I don't like make up wise (sorry about that) I have now decided that I will do my top ten make up loves! These are things that I see that people have/create (is that the right word) on themselves which I wish I could also have.. but alas, not everyone is gifted in the same way.



1. Perfect Skin-
I just get incredibly jealous over girls who have naturally flawless skin and can just wear tinted moisturizer and a little bit of concealer. I genuinely question why I can't achieve the same looking skin. Is it good genes that have blessed them with (nearly) flawless skin? Do they have special skin care that just makes them look fantastic? If so, why are these cruel people keeping it a secret? Who knows. it will be a mystery I never solve.

2. Defined cheek bones-
Whether you naturally have fantastic cheekbones or you fake it, I'm envious! A subtly sculpted face just looks beautiful For a long time, I didn't contour (I know, WHAT A FOOL!) but I've recently got into it because I just couldn't hack it having a round blob for a head anymore. I was being laughed at by people with excellent or excellently faked cheek bones. All I can say now, Illamasqua Cream Pigment in Hollow has allowed me to join the cheek bone clan.. Sort of, depends how well you consider my ability to contour..

3. The Perfect Cat Eye-
My day to day makeup includes a hefty cat eye/flick which is at an 'ok' standard, however I would love to have that perfect, sleek looking flick down to a T.. If anyone wants to let me into their secret on how to achieve it, that would be greatly appreciated. I always end up with a fat blob of gel eyeliner at the end of my so called flick, looking like I'm trying to create a new make up craze.

4. No Effort Hair-
I love people who have that fantastic bed-head/surf hair where they can just have it looking natural, wavy and beautiful. My hair does not do this. If left to its own devises, it will go curly leaving me looking like a cherub, or it will stick to my head due to how fine it is. I am always straightening it just to tame the stressful mess which is my hair.

5. The Perfect Lips-
Lipstick is always a last minute decision with me so I always end up being in a rush resulting in a wonky lip. I think nothing looks better on people than a really well drawn on lip where everything is symmetrical and sharp.

6. Eyelash Love-
I think every girl wants this: naturally dark, long, thick and curled eyelashes are something I crave. If you have even 2 out of that, you are blessed.

7. Heavenly HD Eyebrows-
Nothing frames your face better than perfectly sculpted eyebrows, and well done for those who manage to maintain them!

Thanks for reading everyone!

  1. Sadly, I don't have perfect skin, high cheekbones, or no effort hair. I wish I had all of those, but that is what I was dealt with. However, I am sure I have many other traits that others do not have (and so do you). I hate how the media makes us think we have to be perfect. We really don't. Keep being your imperfect, perfect self!
