Amy Louise : swatches

Last month I went to a wedding and that day I popped into town to get another blusher from the Benefit counter in our local Debenhams. Whilst I was looking one of the girls asked whether I might like my Makeup done. Well It would have been rude not to take up her offer plus I was only going to be going home and getting ready and thought as it was an occasion it might be nice to get it done professionally for a change.

Makeup done

Whilst she was working her magic on me, she asked whetherI used primer? Now on a daily basis, No I do not however if I'm going out with the girls or on a date night yes I do. However I had never tried the benefit stay-dont-stray primer for the eye area.

This primer can be used be make concealers and eyeshadows stay put. The concealer will not crease and eyeshadows will stay bright and vibrant all night long.

Shade Light/medium was used in my skin.

The Primer comes in a pump applicator which is really good as it gives just the right amount and it stops any leaking in the makeup bag.

Needless to say I went back the weekend after and purchased after brilliant results that night.I had been at the weekend all afternoon/evening and my eye makeup stayed as it was from when I left town.

I love the London Look

It took me a long time to find the perfect shade of Red. I spent hours searching the counters of House of Fraser and Boots. I came out with my hand covered in different swatches of red. I didn't want anything too bright, too flat or too dark, I was basically being very picky that day.

I finally settled on the Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick 01. It is a deep red and I felt this complimented my skin tone quite well. It really does live up to the name "Lasting Finish" as it does not dry out. I can put on in the morning and its still there by the afternoon. It has an easy apply and does not bleed so no need for lipliner.
