Festival Outfit; Bralette & Shirt

By Kate - 10:00:00

Your festival outfit is basically the main event and it needs to be perfect! I love seeing festival outfits and seeing who wears what so of course for my last post in my Festival Week had to be about the outfit. I've hummed and hawed over what outfit I wanted to feature for this post and I wanted to show something realistic but still fashionable.
Also this is my last post of my festival themed week so I've hoped you've all enjoyed it and I'll be back to posting on every Tuesday and Sunday!

So I took inspiration from Jasmine Tookes where she showed off her bralette underneath a shirt as I loved that style of look. I wore this White Shirt which I actually found in my sisters wardrobe (sharing is caring!!) but it's from GAP and it's a plain white shirt which you can either wear as it is, tucked into shorts or a skirt or tied at the bottom. I tucked the white shirt into my shorts however I wished it knotted the shirt at the bottom as I think tying the shirt at the bottom makes the look casual and I think is perfect for a festival as it looks effortless.
Underneath the shirt I wore my Pink Halter Neck Bralette from Victoria Secret which you can slightly see as I didn't button the shirt the whole way up. I adore this bralette, it's so so comfy and I think it's so pretty. It a gorgeous deep pink shade and the detailing in the lace is amazing!

I then paired the shirt and bralette with a pair of shorts which are a pair of Ripped Blue Mom Shorts from Topshop which I absolutely love as I'm a big fan of ripped denim despite how expensive these shorts were! I'd definitely recommend Mom shorts as they're not tight so in the hot weather they're still super comfy and I love the look of these shorts and I can imagine them to last for a good couple of years! And I wore my River Island Black Belt With Silver Detailing which is quite chunky but I love the big silver buckle and definitely completes the whole outfit.

For shoes I wore my Vans Old Skool Trainers which are my go-to shoes and I think these shoes go so well with the whole look and they suit the shorts and belt perfectly. Depending on what festival you're going to and what the weather is like then wellies make a perfect option and also look great with shorts!

What's your favourite festival look?

Festival Makeup; Dewy Base & Golden Glitter

By Kate - 17:08:00

I've been looking forward to creating this look for so long and I absolutely love festival makeup so I've tried my best with this look!
My aim for this look was to have a dewy base which is glowy and have a glitter eye which will give the overall look a summer vibe. The look doesn't scream festivals however with a festival outfit and if you added some glitter then it would look stunning!

I started by using my Miss Sporty Insta Glow Primer which is perfect for a dewy look and I also added some Seventeen Skin Wow Primer to the points in my face where I wanted to be highlighted (cheekbones, nose, cupids bow & chin). The Miss Sporty Primer is the best summer base, highlighted and so suited for a dewy look and the Seventeen highlighting primer gives extra highlight to areas on my face.
I then took my Freedom Pro HD Green Corrector Concealer on my cheeks which I'm quite generous with as I think to cover my redness as much as possible! I take this mainly on my cheeks but add a little bit more to my forehead and nose.

For foundation I'm using my all time favourite L'Oreal Pro Glow Foundation in the shade 202 'Creamy Natural' which I blend in with my Spectrum Beauty Sponge and this gives such a dewy base but with quite a lot of coverage as well.
To conceal and highlight my under eyes I took my Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in shade 1 which I also took on my chine, nose and forehead to highlight. I blended this in with my beauty blender again which looks dewy and natural.

As I'm trying to keep this look dewy I didn't want to use a lot of powder so I used my Technic Colour Correcting Loose Powder and lightly dusted it under my eyes. I didn't put it anywhere else as I didn't want the powder to take away the glow!

Moving onto to contouring, I've taken the Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer and used my contour brush to sculpt out my cheekbones which I do quite lightly and I love this shade as it's super blendable and suits my skin tone quite well!
Then to bronze I used my E.L.F Bronzer in 'Golden' which I absolutely love and I feel like I've talked about a lot! This is super natural and I take this under my cheekbones, jaw line and the top of my forehead.

For highlighter I took my classic The Balm Mary Lou Highlighter which is a pearly champagne shade which I think is so suited for festivals as it's super pigmented. And I applied this with my finger and then blended it out with my fan brush for maximum pigment!

Moving onto my eyebrows I started by using my Rimmel Master Shape Brow Pencil to outline my brows and filled them in with my ABH Dipbrow Pomade in 'Blonde'. I didn't use brow gel with this as I went in quite heavy with the brow pomade and it keeps my brows in place very well anyway.
I then carved out my brows with the same concealer as before which is the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in shade 1 which makes your brows look 10x better!!

For the eyes I'm starting by priming by using the same concealer again and I took my Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in 001 to keep it in place. So for eyeshadow I took my Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer as a transition shade in my crease which gives a warm toned shadow in your crease and is so easy to blend.
I then took a dark brown matte from my Morphe 35T Palette and used this in my very outer crease and outer third of my eye. And then took a champagne shimmer shade from the 35T again and blended this in my inner corner and to the centre or my eye. I then took a nude transition shade from the Morphe and blended the shimmer in completely and took this lightly in my crease.
I then took the Helen E Fixing Gel and dabbed this in the inner third of my eye to keep my glitter in place. And I packed on the Helen E glitter pigment in the shade 'Sand' which is such a gorgeous golden shade and goes so well with the whole eye look.
To finish off my eye I took the brown matte from the Morphe palette and blended this out on my lower lash line and of course I then used my Mayebelline Lash Sensational Mascara!

For my lips I took my Mac Patent Polish Lip Pencil in 'It's Really Me' and then used the Clinique Glosswear in 'Angel Pink which is such a pretty pinky nude and looks stunning with the whole makeup look.

Here's the final look;
