Margot Robbie is beautiful. She shot to fame this year after appearing in The Wolf of Wall Street. I love her look. Her hair,  make up and style is always to perfection.  Natural waves and nude lips seem to be her signature style, which is great because they're both part of my everyday look. I like the natural glow she has going on and the almost effortless way it's all brought together.

I'm going to show you the main steps here, but for the full step by step including side angles, click here to check out my Imgur album.

Clean, Moisturize and Prime your face. I use Nivea Cream to moisturize and Benefit Porefessional to prime and smooth out my skin. I find it also makes my make up last longer throughout the day.

Apply your base foundation. I used 1/2 pumps of Mac Studio Fix Foundation in shade NC15 and applied it using my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush.

Contour. I Used my Chanel Pro Lumiere Foundation in shade 60 Hale, and Illamasqua Skin Base in shade 01 white.


Next I blended it all together, added some Studio Fix Concealer in shade NC15 under my eyes/ middle of my chin and finished it with B. Pressed powder in Light/Medium.


Bronze & Blush! using my Bourjois Paris Bronzer in shade 52 I went over the same areas that I contoured in the previous step, focusing on cheek bones, forehead and jawline. I then added blush, Bourjois Little round pot, shade frosted rose on the apples of my cheeks 

Eyes. I put a base on my lids and bottom waterline using NYX Milk, which was then ligtly blended out. Next comes the Naked Basics palette. I applied Foxy all over my lids, used Naked 2 in my crease and added a bit of smoke in the outer corners using Faint.


Brows & Wing. I filled in my brows using my Sleek brow Palette - Light. Then Added a wing using a cheap smudge-able drugstore eyeliner. This wing doesn't have to be neat as it's going to be smudged to add an extra layer of depth to the eyes.

Wing. I smudged in an upwards motion to blend out the pencil liner, then Winged it for real using my B. Gel eyeliner pot.


Mascara & lips. I applied my go to mascara Bourjois Paris Volume clubing Ultra Black and applied a few swipes of my Body Shop Born Lippy Pink berry tinted Lip Balm.




And we're done!  Now is the time for you to add your favourite lashes and tame and style that hair to pull off a convincing red carpet glamour look.

Welcome!

Hello There! 


Welcome to My Pale Skin.


I've started this blog after numerous requests from some of the lovely ladies on a little website called Reddit.  After posting a few before and after photos and a phenomenal response to a complete step by step tutorial i posted on the /r/makeupaddiction subreddit I've  decided to bite the bullet and create a little spot on the internet to call my own.  

I'm Em, 24, live in Central London. I work in the media industry and am surrounded by darlings and divas most days. I'm not one of those however, you can find me sheltering from the rain and hiding from the sun, sat at my desk looking at cats on the internet and eating a pretzel, usually with some sort of dodgy food stain on my top, and and an exasperated look on my face.

I'm a pale girl, I don't tan, I don't go out in the sun and I very rarely wear fake tan. I relish in my NC15 pale skin and stick out like a piece of processed white bread in a wholefoods shop. I've always had a love of make up since I was a teenager, granted, my make up back then was pretty damn awful, but with time and patience, it's now only slightly less awful. Nevertheless, I enjoy it. I love the way make up can make me feel like I've gone from the worst skin disaster day of my life,  to feeling like a freaking movie star in 60 minutes or less. 

I'm going on a little adventure in 2014. Better health, better skin, better make up and damn I will have good hair by 2015!

So welcome! I'm going to be posting a lot of step by step tutorials, before and after images, product reviews, and some make up mishaps. If there's anything you'd like to see, please feel free to get in touch with me and let's feel start feeling pretty together.
