SUMMER FESTIVAL MAKE UP

I haven't actually been to a festival this year but this would be make up that I would wear to one! Neon dots or flowers could be painted around the eyes afterwards but this would be a pretty base.

My hair is wavy from sleeping in plaits, I've backcombed it to give it some volume but dry shampoo would also help to give the same effect. The flower headband is a few years old from Primark but they have lot's of pretty ones available this year, festivals are the only place that I would actually wear a flower crown, I don't think I would be brave enough to wear one out otherwise!

I chose Rimmel wake me up foundation to use as my base as it contains SPF15 and gives a dewy glow to the skin. I swept No7 Perfectly bronzed bronzing pearls over my cheeks and on my temples to give my skin a bronzed glow. My eyes are kept quite simple with winged liquid liner, Ardell demi wispies false lashes and Topshop sun shower eye crayon (no longer available but similar here or any gold eyeshadow applied with a wet brush should give the same effect!) smudged under the lower lash line. On my lips I wore Revlon Sultry Samba, a bright fuchsia matte pink which is long lasting and creamy, I also dabbed a small amount of this onto the apples of my cheeks and really blended it out with my fingers.

Have you been to a festival this year?

NO7 POP AND GLOW CREAM BLUSH STICK

I love wearing cream blushers in the summer, they're easy to apply, blend and are pretty and subtle on the skin.

I was drawn to the No7 Pop and glow cream stick shade in mango sorbet as I don't own anything like it. It's a pretty, light peach colour that looks natural on the skin and is perfect for summer. The creamy formula blends really well before drying to a slightly powdery finish to make it longer lasting, a bit like the topshop cream blushers. It's also buildable so you can wear it as a natural finish or build it up to give more of a healthy glow to the skin. I love how easy these are to pop in your bag for touch ups, you can just twist up the top, swipe it over your cheek and then blend it with your fingers!

I love wearing this with Mac all that glitters all over the eyelid, Mac goldmine blended under the eye and a peachy coral lipgloss for a warm glowy summer look!

Freckles

Fake eyelashes, Fake tan, Fake hair extensions...Fake Freckles?! 

Fake Freckles are something I've seen a lot of recently in magazines, they can give a really pretty/cutesy look. I've got a few tiny real freckles, but most of these don't show through my foundation. I'd love to have freckles and so I thought I'd have a giggle and see what they looked like on me!

To achieve this look, I used No7 amazing eyes pencil in brown and warmed the pencil up on the back of my hand. To try and make the freckles look as natural as possible, I varied between using light hand and firmer touch to dot big and small freckles over my nose and cheeks.

This was a really fun look to do, although I'm not sure whether I'd ever wear it out incase I smudged them!

What do you think of the fake freckled look?
