Back To Work | My Everyday Office Makeup [VLOG]

Ladies and... ladies? I've done it. My first vlog! Be warned: I made this video in one go (with a bit of post-editing, of course - but the editing is pretty minimal, you'll see), in between Noah's naps late one afternoon (hence the bad lighting).



I really enjoyed making this video, so I'll definitely be doing these on a regular basis. As with everything to do with this blog, I'm learning as I go, so I expect that these videos will get better and better as I go along.

This video showcases my go-to makeup look for a regular day at the office. It's quick and easy, looks pretty polished and lasts all day long - perfect for a long day at the office or shoot days.

Inside my office makeup bag:

Christian Dior DiorSnow UV Shield BB Creme SPF50 PA+++
Bobbi Brown Corrector in 'Light Bisque'
Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Kit in 'Sand'
Bobbi Brown Retouching Powder in 'Yellow', applied using

EYES

Revlon PhotoReady 3D Volume Mascara in 'Blackest Black'

    I LOVED the vlog! Such awesome tips, especially for a new mom :) Must get the Bobbi Brown creamy concealer kit and corrector ASAP.
    And you're gorgeous, you don't need any make up!

    I really enjoyed your vid!! I also like lots of mascara and the one you feature is actually my favourite at the moment :) I've got the BB corrector; need to invest in the concealer kit as well I think. Thanks for the great tips re applying the gel liner. I need some practice. xx

      Thank you! Smashbox has a wide selection of shades on offer, including some fantastic dark shades. Ponds has also just launched a BB cream specifically created for the South African woman, so give that one a go. Let me know which one you try and what you think? x
