Placement make up and hair!

Hello! 
Just thought I would write a post about what make up I wear to placement and how I wear my hair. It's so important to look smart and professional on placement, but for me this doesn't mean that I can't look nice! I love to wear make up on placement and I love doing my hair nicely. 
So, lets start with hair! On placement I like for my hair to be up and out of the way for placement. So, I just put my hair in a bun. I like to use a bun donut for this. I got mine from superdrug and it was about £2 or £3 but I can't really remember. All I do is use this to put my hair in a bun and use a headband to tie around it to make it look a bit more neat. I then like to take my fringe and plait it just to give it a bit of detail and it makes me feel a lot better about such a simple hairstyle. 
So, moving on to make up, I start off with concealer and I like to use the Rimmel wake me up concealer , and I love this because it's the only concealer which really hides my dark circles and literally wakes me up!  I just apply this with a small concealer brush.
 I then move onto foundation and I really like the Rimmel match perfection foundation. I love this because it gives me great long lasting coverage, which I really need since I do long days on placement! I also find that even when I get a bit sweaty from working hard this foundation stays in place so well! I just use a little make up sponge to apply this.
 I then put blusher on, I just use Avon blusher which was my first ever blusher that my sister gave me and I just love it, I find that it's so subtle and natural which I think is really important since I don't want to look too "made up" on placement. I just apply this with a simple blusher brush. 
Moving onto eyes, I just use a simple pinkish colour to add to my eye lids, I use the BarryM Natural shadow and blush glow palette. I love this palette, simply because I like my make up to be quite natural and toned down, and I find the colours in here are perfect for that and again it stays in place all day which I love! I just apply one coat to my eye lids just for a subtle wash of colour. 
I then put one coat of mascara on my lashes, I use Jerome Alexander mascara. This was a present from my Nan and I really love it. I find that it doesn't go clumpy, and elongates me lashes without looking like I've overloaded my lashes. I really love it. 
After this I put powder on my face for added protection to keep it all in place, just in case! I use the Rimmel stay matte pressed powder which I just apply with a powder brush. I love this powder because it gives added coverage to my dark circles and blemishes and it also makes me look less shiny which I really like!
After this, since I get quite sore lips, I like to just use Vaseline on my lips which I also keep in my pocket on placement. I love Vaseline, I feel as though it brings my whole face together and it keeps my lips feeling smooth and nice. 


Just added - I can't remember how much any of these products are but they are all under £10 since I can't afford to spend that much on make up. 
That's all for now, Bye! xx
