Drugstore Make Up Look

I absolutely love drugstore make up so I thought I'd do a complete look using products that I've bought from Boots, Superdrug or Avon.

For foundation I used 17's Miracle Matte foundation which I bought the other day. I'm totally in love with this foundation. It's medium coverage, easy to apply, looks even and keeps my skin matte all day. To add more coverage I used my Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer on my scars and spots and 17's Hide & Chic Brightening concealer underneath my eyes. I then went on to powder the skin with 17's Pressed Powder which is a lovely powder that keeps skin semi-matte and helps to hold make up in place. The highlight that I used was an Avon one in Moon Sand and I also contoured my cheekbones and nose with Sleek's Contour Kit. Finally, I used Barry M's blush in BL2 on my cheeks. It's a matte, bright pink so I added Accessorize's Merged Blush in Pretty Pink over the top to add shimmer and tone the pink down.

I used 17's Mardi Gras eye shadow all over the lid and in the crease to create a V shape which elongates the eyes. I then used 17's Glitter eye shadow in Chalice underneath the eyes to brighten them up. I then wanted to darken the look up so I used 17's Glitter eye shadow in Night Sky on the other corners of the eye. I love 17 eye shadows; they're cheap, buttery smooth and very pigmented. I also don't need to use a primer with them as they last a long time. I lined my upper lash line with 17's liquid liner and the tight line with Avon's Color Trend Kajal Stick in black. I then used GOSH's Kohl Eye Liner in white on my water line to brighten the eye area up. The mascara that I used was Revlon's Double Twist which is great for adding volume and length the lashes and on my brows I used Rimmel's Professional Eye Brow Pencil.
