Hey guys! I hope you are all well. Again, i can only apologise for my long absence. For lack of a better term, I've had alot of shit going on in my family life. But with alot of love and support from Craig, i'm in at least a better polace in my life than a month or so ago. Still not perfect, but hey ho, nothing is!
So i thought my return to blogger would be a make up look. This is basically my everyday summer look. As alot of you know i am a green card holder in the US and live between here and the UK with the long term goal of moving permanently, so to summarise i'm back in florida for the next few months, and then ill be deciding overall where to study.
As we all know, the temperatures in Florida are relatively high, and therefore make up must be adjusted to match, so this look is perfect for any warm holiday destination.
I began by moisturising and using my cellnique sebum gel, which is fantastic on my nose and chin area.
I then prepped my skin with Clinique city block spf 25. Something like this is perfect for warmer climates as it not only has spf, but it also has a slight tint so there is less need for a light foundation or tinted moisturiser. 
I then used 'leather' from the kat von d ludwig palette with the 263 brush to fill in my brows. I find in hot weather that a simple powder is enough, pencil can be a bit harsh and/or sticky, whilst gels can just feel uncomfortable.
Next up, a very light helping of concealer blended well helps to hide any imperfections but still leaves you with a natural, glowy look.
A cream blush gives the most natural dewy finish in the sun and i find Stila convertible colour in peony to be the best for me
For the eyes, i favour a light, shimmery defined look with minimum hassle, so i use a wash of retrospeck over the lid and tempting in the outer v, slightly into the crease and just under the eye.
retrospeck, 239
tempting, 219( i think)
I then used fluidline in 'blacktrack' with a 209 brush to line the eye, just to give some extra depth and create the illusion of thicker lashes.
My favourite.. mascara! a few generous coats. i'm trying to use up maybelline lash stiletto voluptuous right now.. its ok, but nothing fantastic.
The overall look is a dewy, natural summer look. Blend a bit of carbon into the crease, and it's perfect for warm evening dinners, or margaritas at the tiki bar!(i'm half malaysian and you can't often tell, but don't you think my eyes look so oriental in these pics!!)
