A day in the life of a Double Wear girl!

My first day as an Estee Lauder double wear girl!

So it's 7:44am and I've just mixed some colours from my pro kit. Maybe I shouldn't have done this when I'm rushing around getting ready for work. The colour I mixed is too light and makes me look slightly like draculas wife. The colour I tried before looked too dark and I went orange! This definitely needs more time and some natural light, not when it's still dark outside. So far it feels quite sticky, the coverage however is gorgeous and so is the finish.

8am I noticed there was a bit of foundation that I hadn't blended (don't try something new in a rush)! I went with my finger to blend it out as I was in the car... Big mistake foundation was slightly damp the texture of double wear is like glue so it literally smeared under my eye! Then I noticed a bit of mascara I tried to remove, wouldn't budge so I licked my finger another big mistake! It left a huge patch.

I highly rate this foundation for its ability to stick to your face and not budge!!! For me however I can't use it as a daily foundation as I make too many mistakes when I'm rushing around and use my foundation to rub it all in! I would definitely recommend this for Pro makeup artists to make sure the make up lasts! Also! No creasing!!!

10:30pm and my foundation looks as fresh as it did this morning!! It is literally like superglue! I love this for occasions but there is no room for mistakes! I prefer a more dewy look on a day to day basis and this is extremely matte for me. If I was to wear this for an occasion it would most definitely be paired with a good highlight!

Anndddd.... Good night :)

P.s extremely waterproof!



Apologies for THE MOST awful picture! I had to take it on snapchat in the canteen at work!

Z Palette

Now I know I'm extremely late to jump on the Z Palette band wagon but better late then never! I've just started getting back into my freelance makeup work and have decided to go pro so I'm undertaking a few courses to get where I want to be. I've only been working as self taught previously however I'm loving this new adventure.

Annndddd.. back on to topic the Z Palette, why I didn't purchase one before who knows! I LOVE it! I recently purchased the MAC palette too, although the MAC palette seems sturdier I like that the Z Palette is see through and comes with magnetic stickers.
