Natural makeup look

For this natural makeup look your will need: primer (I use Porefessional by benefit), CC cream (I use max factor), a powder (I'm using the becca perfect skin mineral powder) and a eyeshadow pallet with natural colours (I'm using the urban decay naked basics pallet.


If you are using your hands to apply makeup make sure that they are clean before applying makeup. 

1.Starting with primer apply it to your face.This will help your makeup tday on longer.
2. Apply your CC cream on cheeks, chin,  forehead and just near your neck so it blends with your skin. 
3. Use your powder with your powder brush to set the cc cream this will also prevent oiliness when wearing CC cream or any oil based product.
4. If your eye lids are red then you can apply some primer or concealer on your lids to prevent redness. 
5. For the eyeshadow I'll be using colours from the urban decay naked pallet. For my lid colour I'm applying naked 2 and applying faint into my crease and the blending to make a ombré look. 
 
And that my natural morning makeup look.

DIY choker necklaces

              Choker necklaces 
 
You might have seen stores selling these choker necklaces. Today I'm going to show you how to make these inexpensive choker necklaces. It's simple and fun and there are a lot of different designs you can make.


Today I'm going to show you how to make this type of choker necklace.

What you need:
1. Black cord (make sure to find one that already has a clasp).
2. Charms.
3. Jump rings
4. Jewellery pliers 


That's all you need!
"
But where can I find these materials?"

When I made my choker necklace I went online shopping so I could purchase my items in bulk. 

The most helpful websites that had bulk charms and cord were:

www.etsy.com and www.ebay.com

When you look on etsy or ebay you can type in:
Charms, Cord or jump rings and many products will be there. Once you have picked out your materials you can get started.

Steps
1. Choose your charms 

2. Grab a jump ring and use your 

Jewellery pliers to make an opening
 
3. Attach your jump ring to the hole on the top of your charm.

4. Get your cord and put the jumpring with the charm on it on the cord.

5. Once the jumpring and charm are on the cord, use your pliers to close the opening of the jump ring.

And now you'll have a finished choker necklace! It's so inexpensive and fun to make.
