Having finally got round to cleaning my makeup brushes, I thought I would treat myself to a full faced makeup look today. As it's the start of Spring (though I think Google was a week out with it's announcement earlier this week as the weather, having been lovely, went back to winter mode the day they announced the first day of spring haha), I thought I would go for a glowy bronzy look suited for everyday wear. A lot of these products are my go to everyday products so I know this look will be a staple for me in the coming months. What's so great about a look like this is that I can change it up so easily, all lip colours will work with this, and I can add more of the dark brown shade I used (Caffeine Fix) to smoke it out into the evening. Products used are listed at the bottom of the post.
Just a heads up, the lighting changes around a lot in these photos as I tried to capture the blush-bronzer combo in all it's glory (I've found it can often get washed out of pictures). Therefore, I look a lot tanner in some pictures than others 😂. The most true to life pictures of the ones below are probably the 1st, 3rd and 5th ones :)

p.s. Sorry about the 3 month gap between this and my last post. Uni work was much bigger this term and I've had no time for my blog, as well as a lack of inspiration 😠(I have been more active on my Instagram though so go check it out!) Anyways, the Easter break's coming up so I'll try and post more frequently during revision breaks haha.
