Makeup .
Today I want to talk about something slightly different. Its going to be a long post, so I'd grab yourself a cuppa or beverage of your choice, maybe even play some music if you want!
* please read till the end, my argument balances out in the end haha! *
Makeup seems to be coming a prominant part of modern day teenagers lives. As a beauty enthusiast, i'm certainly not saying this is bad. I just feel like too many young people are so easily influenced by media of many forms, to do things they're not comfortable with, whether this be too much or too little makeup!
Personally wearing makeup makes me feel much more 'confident in my own skin' but for some girls wearing makeup just isn't 'them'. The media portrays so many naturally beautiful women wearing makeup 24/7 and let's face it we are all influenced. I know that I certainly have felt like makeup is the way forward. But If someones happy without makeup, why should they be made to feel victimised because they're wearing their bare skin? Go them!
In the same way, girls who wear alot of makeup shouldn't bwle constantly reminded of their heavier makeup. You see we all have variying opinions on what 'too much' is. Although were free to have our own opinions, we dont have make ourselves better by dragging others down. There may be deeper meanings as to why they wear so much makeup, that we don't know. These girls also, should do what they feel most comfortable in! If you have a passion for makeup, show it!
I'm neither saying too much or too little makeup is right. Do what you want. Its your face, and your choice what goes on it! No matter what you put on your face though, you are you... your lack or lot of makeup is part of you. And you, yes every single one of you are fabulous!
I realised that although I love makeup, to others it means nothing. And I just wanted to share with you what I think. I understand this could be a very contraversial article, but hey ho!
Anyways! I hoped you enjoyed today's post guys! Be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments!

Now, I know Leanne has already done a review on the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation, but I thought I'd share with you my thoughts on it.
First things first, it would be a good idea to tell you about my skin; I definitely have dry skin, I'm afraid I can't even call it combination. I know this might sound like a God send to you more oily faced people but trust me, it's not that easy!! My main issue is getting foundation to actually stick to my face in the first place. They just tend to attach to dryer patches of my face and look all clumpy, but I'll explain more about that in a minute. Anyway, as we both have different skin types, the foundation sits differently with us, so pick your nearest skin type either Leanne's oily to combination skin or dry skin like me, and read the review closest to you
Yes, I moisture every night and do everything else I can think of in a drastic attempt to add moisture to my face, but it just doesn't work! I've totally accepted my dry skin and therefore I am constantly on the hunt for dewy foundations that will blend into my face. My usual go-to is the YSL Touché Éclat foundation and it really LOVE it but this brings me onto my next problem...I have really pale skin! I do not want this to sound like a blog post explaining my face issues, it's honestly not, I'm just hoping this will help you understand my reasons for liking or not liking the foundation. Anyway, I have this in the shade BR10, described as "the ghost shade" by the lady at the counter, and it's perfect for my skin....however....my face is currently tanned, hence me trying out Wake Me Up.
Despite my tan, I purchased this in the lightest shade, 010 light porcelain, and amazingly I've found a foundation too light even for me! So, if you're thinking of buying this, I would consider the huge difference between the first and second shade. The second shade was way too dark unfortunately, and the first shade way too light. However, I have discovered that as I apply it and it oxides on my face, it does appear to get darker and match my face. I'm not sure if that's my eyes deceiving me, or I'm imagining it, but if this is the case then the shade it 'dries' to is a much better match than before!
Moving on...the finish! I must say that Wake Me Up applies really smoothly and easily and in my opinion, this is definitely compatible with my YSL foundation. Although, I would say it is a very thick formula and has medium to full coverage. I love the dewy look on my face and the glitter particles make it look glowy and flawless! Personally, I need to powder with this foundation so I would suggest that most other people will also need to powder. This might sound strange but I think it looks nice when foundation makes your face a tiny bit shiny, as this one does for me, so in my eyes it's a winner. That being said, if you are more on the oily side, it might not be the one for you. Perhaps powdering throughout the day would help it though. As Leanne also suggested, I would say Rimmel Match Perfection is probably a better one to go for if you are combination to oily skinned.
All in all, this foundation definitely lives up to the hype! My only issue is the shade range and the massive difference between the first and second shade. If you do have drier skin I would definitely give it a go! Hope this review helped and let us know your thoughts below.
Bye for now, Natalie :)
