Makeup the first!

This is a post about makeup.
This is not a makeup tutorial post, I am nowhere near good enough to attempt one of those bad boys.
It's more a post where I talk about what makeup and skin care I do as a cosplayer. (The cosplayer bit isn't important, i'm still just in shock that I've started a skin care routine whoa).
So anyway, uh, I just want to show the pieces of makeup I do love to wear, and just cute things I have laying about.

Lookit this loot.
I have lots more omg this isn't all of it! 

The eyelash curler is from Penneys/Primark, and it does what it says on the tin. (plus it is pink that is a super plus imo)
I love skinfood's bb cream it smells so nice, and I found out the other day they do one with raspberry and it WILL be mine :I /huffhuff.
Normal foundation-wise I use 'Catrice's' photo finish, it's good, slightly dark but it works well. Actually I've tanned up over summer a little so i'm not paper white anymore so it will
probably be the correct shade now! OTL Also I found a lovely smokey eye-shadow palette by catrice as well and I love using it.
I'm cheap and I can't buy 'kiss me heroine' liquid liner until after Ayacon so at the moment i'm using essence, and it's alright. I hadn't planned on using essence products again as the last liner I bought
from that brand was horrid and didn't work, but this one is really nice, it applies well and lasts. I use Rimmel eyeliner for my water line. I love using gosh eye-shadow (it's a glittery black colour) to set my liner.
I use Essences primer for my eye-shadow, it works a treat. The lipstick of choice I have here is Rimmel, it's a weird coral colour I've had a while and I can't see them name as I take off labels orz.
The item with the cat face is a lipstick I ordered from Ali Express also but the seller was super unhelpful as I requested a nude colour and I now own a candy pink lipstick which I won't wear. Yet I keep it as the case is the cutest thing ever.

I also ordered a cute makeup brush set! About €4 euro from Ali Express. Well worth the small few euro.
Not pictured is my lip brush but it's in my makeup case. 

I really like pink now ok. 

This giant makeup palette is one I ordered from a site called 'Ali Express' and it's really worth the money. It only cost me €8 and it's gorgeous, so many colors uwu.

I really love this, so many colours.
How do you use it? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Pretty much the most skincare i've owned in my entire life

As for skin maintenance (is that a phrase??) I use mostly 'Simple' products.
Shown here is: Eye makeup remover, spotless skin triple action face wash, cleanser, toner, moistureiser.
Essence is one of the only brands that doesn't murder my skin. I don't know what other brands are doing but my skin is literally like 'NOPE'.
The pink container is Garnier's rose scented moistureiser that I use on my hands, my hands seem to be ok with it, and I really love rose scented things ;w; they're so lovely.
Lastly on this the purple bottle is 'Johnson&Johnson's' blackhead clearing cleanser (which I subject my skin to after a night out of makeup, or at a con where i'm makeup all the damn time).
This stuff all works really well on my skin, and I do recommend it for people with more sensitive skin.

A before and after of makeup I did a test of for a cosplay. Just to show how different you can look with makeup done for a cosplay! I was just back after running so the makeup wasn't as nice as it could have been as my skin was pretty red from excercise, still it's a huge difference. You can really see the red on my face after I took the makeup off.

Left is after, right is before. 

Exactly Ross... Exactly.

I'm pretty glad I've started to enjoy wearing makeup, I don't have much confidence in my looks but by gum, whatever wizards invented makeup, I want to high five them because it is a wonderful thing, young Emma would high five me I think if she saw me today.

I hope you enjoyed my ramble about makeup, can you tell i'm grasping at topics?
I don't want to completely make this a nerd blog so i'm trying to vary it up. In the upcoming weeks i'll do a day trip to Dublin update, which will be fun!

In summary: Makeup is made by wizards, and makes people super cute. (ᅌᴗᅌ* )
