Nice & Natural - total look for £10.50

How to get everything you need for an everyday 'barely there' makeup look for just £10.50

We all like to look as though we just rolled out of bed already looking polished and naturally fresh.  We all know though, that it takes a while in front of the mirror assisted by cosmetics, tools, and tricks to look as though we haven't made any effort at all and as though we're not even wearing any makeup! To achieve this look, you're going to need base, blush, powder, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss. You may not believe that you can get all this for £10.50 but you really can and trust me - it's easy!


Base/foundation/concealer - £1.50

This stick isn't named 'all-over' for nothing! Use it as a foundation, dab it under your eyes and on spots as a concealer (for even more coverage!) and swipe over your eyelid with a fingertip to use as a base ready for your eye shadow. This smells gorgeous, has a great consistency, isn't heavy and won't clog pores.






Blush - £1.50

Experience sheer radiance that makes your cheeks glow and keeps you looking all natural! These cute little compacts helps smooth the skin and minimize pores, while highlighting and sculpting to make the most of your facial features. The shades are so sweet and pretty and can also double as eye shadow (saving you even more money!).





Powder - £1.50


Oil absorbing, clarifying, and packed full of ingredients that help prevent skin imperfections, this cute compact comes with a powder puff ready to use.  Choose the correct shade and this powder will give you a matte, natural finish and take away any shine and keep it at bay all day!






Eyeshadow - £1.50
This eyeshadow quad, shown in 'Ethereal', contains the perfect neutral shades for your look.  Made from Corn Silk, it glides on and helps your skin feels smooth and silky.  It's long lasting and won't crease.  Perfect for everyday wear and to widen, brighten and compliment your eyes.




Eyeliner & mascara - 1.50 each
Brightening eye liner
Earth & water mascara duo
Both long lasting, smear proof and great quality, these basic staples are just what you need to dress your eyes and add the finishing touches. Select the mascara in Brown and the eyeliner in Coffee to keep the look nice and neutral.  It's a good alternative to black and keeps the looks soft and natural.

Lip Gloss - £1.50
The final step in your natural makeup routine! There are so many neutral shades available but Strawberry (left) is subtle, pretty and perfect for Summer. Lucious liquid lipstick in vanilla mint scent....another beauty bargain.

Believe it or not, there's a way to make this look even more budget friendly by replacing the blush, eyeshadow and lip gloss with an all over colour stick, perhaps in 'toasted' as shown below. These 3 in 1 sticks have been specially designed to work on your eyes, lips and face. They condition, soothe and freshen the skin and keep your look natural and healthy.  You'll glow from the inside as well as the outside while you smile about all the money you saved!

I'd love to hear from you! What's your favourite product for keeping your look natural and fresh?  What tips and hints do you have so that all your lumps, bumps, tired eyes and tired skin are concealed while all the time people wonder if you even have any makeup on....?

Leave me a comment! I love to talk makeup.
