Capsule Makeup bag (FOTD) pictorial


My Basic tools

Blusher/Bronzer Brush, Foundation brush, Eyeliner brush, Angled eyebrow brush and my eyeshadow blending brush.
Face
I started off with my foundation I applied it with my Duo fiber crown brush. I love this brush it gives a flawless airbrush finish. 
I use my concealer as a highlighter, this would probably be too heavy for a lot of people, you could just use a lighter powder or foundation. My bronzer I placed just under my cheek bones and across my temples. The concealer and bronzer together act as a subtle contour to bring out my cheek bones, my lips and make my eyebrows look lifted and neater. 
then blended everything, and added some blusher to the apples of my cheeks, to give me a fresh faced pinched cheeks kinda look.

Eyes 

Firstly I used my mid brown right in the crease of my eyelid and blended up slightly.
This will just contour the socket to add definition to the eye.
I love a feline looking flicked out eyeliner, it can be a little bit tricky though if you don't 
do it often.
As you can see I started with my flick and worked inwards. I do 2 sections, one from the flick to the centre of my eye, I then drop down in a diagonal line and finish at the lash 
line. How thick you want these sections to be is entirely up to you, the thicker the section
 the more cat like it looks. The second section I carry on the line from the top of my diagonal line and bring it thinner towards inside of the eye. Finally I fill in both sections, and clean up any little accidents or messy lines using a damp cotton bud.

The brushes I use are mainly www.crownbrush.co.uk brushes.
They are fantastic value for money and the best brushes I have personally used.
The eyeshadow brush is from sigma I really like this brush it gives a lovely soft finish but it's the only brush from their range that I have used.

I hope this has been helpful! This is the first pictorial I have done so bare with me :)

Get your feline flicks on!
Ta Ta for now
