I am crap at make-up

11/01/2016

I couldn’t think of any other title that would portray this post in a better way. I am terrible at it and the word crap sums it up.
Don’t get me wrong, I have improved over the years and no longer smudge bright sparkly pink eye-shadow over my lids with my finger because ‘that’s what the cool girls do’. I remember being in Year 7 (11 years old), going into school and thinking I looked the absolute bomb before my form tutor pulled me aside first thing in the morning and told me to go wash my eyes, I looked ridiculous.
I’ve inserted a picture below which was taken at my Year 11 Prom which I think shows, make up is not my forte;

Eyeliner on point no?
Hell no.
Thinking about it now, it makes me sad that I didn’t have the world of Google or Youtube as the younger girls of today do (I know I’m only 23 and not classed as old, but I think I’m a generation ahead, the days of Google and Youtube were just starting to gather momentum during my teens) I was a very shy and insecure teenager (not for all of my teenage years though) and would have loved to have known how to properly apply make up. Then again I didn’t really live in a world where I was expected to know how to! I guess that I should be happy that I didn’t have to live through the cyber-bullying and expectations that young girls do today. It’s crazy to think that there are young girls who have pretty much the content of the MAC make up counter in their bedrooms and know how to apply it properly at the age of 14!

I begrudge spending anything more than £10 on a make up product, what is the point if I’m crap at it? Just because I’ve bought a £20 lipstick, doesn’t make me any better at applying it!
So, there’s my make up background. This post should set the scene for some of my make up fails and I hope you stick around for some blinding make up trials and tribulations!
Until next time…

Thought I’d make another appearance on here sinc Thought I’d make another appearance on here since it’s been over a year since my last post, so here’s one from my Tiktok #sustainableootd #ootd #vintedfinds
Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise birthday outing last night, although I’m definitely feeling it today! Love you both loads ❤️❤️
So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve been working and saving away with this gorgeous man to make sure that we could buy a house and we’ve only gone and done it! We’re now in the process of fixing it up and getting our bedroom ready to move in to, so hope we can get in next week! I’m going to be sharing the whole process on our Tiktok account which you can follow @thealbonrenovation - the first post on there is just a video showing the whole house as it was when we bought it on Friday (it’s changed a lot since then!) - so give us a follow it you love a bit of home renovation! 🥳🥳 #firsttimebuyers #newhouse
When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
