Younique!

So I was very excited to find out that I was being sent some Younique beauty products to review.. After stalking their Instagram for about a decade, all I wanted was some mascara and blending buds because they just look so amazing on the pics! And I have been lucky enough to speak to Danielle Silva who has sent me these quite wonderful products...

 

Blending buds - Get a perfectly smooth application of powder, cream foundation, primer or blusher in seconds with these cute, reusable sponge applicators. The pack contains two sponges, a small pink bud for fine detail areas (which is what I use for my contour areas), and a large purple bud for large area application (which is what I used to apply my foundation base evenly). These little buds are £20 for the set but are well worth the investment. There are loads of videos on YouTube for how to use them and how to keep them clean! I have also given a small demo below of how I used them for my contour..

 

3D lash mascara - Go for up to 3x the wow factor with Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes that are water-resistant, yet wash off easily with Shine Eye Makeup Remover Cloths. This is quite possibly the most mood-altering, life-changing product in the cosmetics world! I have noticed the phrase "Can your mascara do this?" being thrown about as tags on Younique products, but I didn't realise just how good the mascara was going to be in comparison to my usual mascara that I thought was quite good. The mascara is £23 and comes with 2 different applicators, the clear gel coat and then the black fibre. I found using 2 coats worked best for me and pulling upwards whilst applying for the best results. Unfortunately my photo taking skills didn't do the mascara any justice, so you will just have to take my word on this one!

So this is me with no make up.. Looking like a tramp

 

  Then I applied the foundation base.. I am currently using Max Factor Facefinity

 

Next was applying the contour.. I use highlighter under my eyes and on the bottom half of my forehead, and then I use a medium powder on my cheek bone, top of my forehead, on the outsides of my nose and under my bottom lip.

 

 I then used the pink blending bud to work it all together by gently dabbing all the contour areas.. Be careful not to rub because this will just defeat the object of having certain areas darker/lighter as they will all blend into 1!

 

 Once I had blended, I drew on my eyebrows using my favourite Anastasia Beverley hills Dipbrow and applied the Younique mascara. Make sure you apply the fibre coat before the transparent gel dries for best effects!

 

And this is the finished product! (Obvs had to apply a liquid eye liner flick to finish the look!)
