Shailene Woodley Inspired Makeup


I recently went to see "Divergent" at the cinema and it's safe to say I am obsessed! Definitely worth a watch and the soundtrack is amazing. I fell in love with Theo James and Shailene Woodley! They were both gorgeous.



I am not very good with "tutorials" this may not be exactly her make up but it is my attempt using my own products etc. Obviously I look nothing like her but it is purely the make up taken from this one photo:
 

Use foundation and concealer to create a "flawless" appearance and then layer on the bronzer. She looks really quite bronze (if you're pale like me don't worry too much- it's hard to achieve)! 

Highlight the cheeks to give a dewy effect I used "golden peach" high light stick by "Elf".

Strong brows- make sure you comb them through and these should be naturally strong and defined. Although my eyebrows need to be tamed- I can't be bothered.  

A dark eye- natural base colour and a dark matte brown through the crease. To define the bottom use a brown eye liner on your lower lash line (you could go heavier than I did on this).
Then define the upper lash line and outer corner by applying a black eye liner pencil tightly and quite heavily- the trick here is to smudge a lot! You want it to delicately define the eye! 

Apply a natural matte coppery shade to your lips very lightly! 


Not too sure if this was at all helpful- this is a perfect everyday look! I hope you enjoyed.

Plum Foolery

Technically this is a re-purchase, the first time I bought this blush I left it on the plane before ever getting to use it! 

I thought I'd do a review on the shimmer blush by MAC named "Plum Foolery".. 
I am in love with the wash of colour it gives! 
Although this blush is better suited to Autumn/Winter, it is perfectly acceptable for all year round! The shimmer gives a really natural high light and compliments both pale and more tanned skin. If you have green or brown eyes it will compliment them perfectly! 
Plum Foolery - MAC. 

My attempt at a swatch. 

Over all I seriously reccomend this product as an addition to your make up collection- it's gorgeous!
