Makeup Tutorial - sophisticated red lip

hello! It's been ages since I've blogged so from now on I'm just gonna blog when I feel like it, planned and scheduled things never work out for me! Today is a makeup tutorial for this look:
 1. I washed my face with the Neutrogena blackhead eliminating facial scrub and moisturised with the Neutrogena oil free moisturiser
2. I concealed my undereyes and any blemishes with the Rimmel London "hide the blemish" concealer in the shade 103 Soft Honey and blended it with a dense blending brush.
3. I used my Loreal True Match foundation in the colour Vanilla Rose and applied it using my Real Techniques angled foundation brush
4. I bronzed my face all over using the Bourjois Paris "delice de poudre" in the colour 51 medium with a Real Techniques blusher brush
5. I applied my natural collection blush in the colour "peach melba" on the apples of my cheeks and swooped up across my cheekbone using the same real techniques blush brush
6. My eyebrows are already quite dark but I filled them in slightly using a matte eyeshadow from my Sleek au naturel palette in the colour Bark
7. I applied the colour "nougat" from the same eyeshadow platte which is just an off white/cream colour using my finger to pat it on, you can use the sponge applicator it comes with if you wish.
8. I then opened my eyes, looked straight ahead and applied the colour moss from the same palette using the applicator it came with, very gently and precisely, a short swipe from the outer corner inwards, and just in and slightly above the crease of my eye (I have slightly hooded lids) I then took a revlon soft fluffy blending brush and softly blended it out.
9. I then used my Loreal Super liner and did a thin line across my upper lash line, opened my eyes and traced a wing upwards, then went over the same line on the way down and joined it to the lash line like you see in the picture (triangular appearance)
10. I then applied my benefit "they're real!" mascara to the top and bottom lashes. Do not add a pencil eyeliner on the bottom waterline or do anything to the bottom waterline to make it too dark. I would recommend using a white pencil if you want to make your eyes appear wider and brighter and to give a very sixties feel to the look, however I just left it natural.
11. LIPS - a key part to the look. I strongly recommend outlining and filling in your lips with a lip liner to ensure your lipstick lasts all day. I used the MUA lip liner in the colour brooding plum (dunno why it says plum - its a gorgeous darkish cherry red) You can put a lipstick over the top if you like but it looks nice matte too. I used no7 red lipgloss and MUA lipstick.

FINISHED. Enjoy looking like a sexy senorita!!
