Valentine's Day inspired makeup tutorial with Ashley's Edit

Hi my name is Ashley and I've been nominated by the gorgeous Rose Gallagher to do my Get the Gloss in Seven Minutes. Now I love a speedy zero fuss makeup look so I'm excited to accept the challenge. I've got my seven minutes ready. The look I'm going to go for, I've got to go to work after this, so I'm going to go for something fresh and light. I don't like anything too heavy but we're going to go for a bit of a bolder liner and then I've just had a really nice lip colour sent through so it's quite Valentine's-esque I would say. So let's get started. Seven minutes is on the clock. So I'm going to start with a bit of hydration. I'm going to use the Kate Somerville Dermal Quench which I love. It's just like pure hyaluronic acid and oxygen for the skin so adds maximum moisture. Perfect for this time of year when you feel a little bit dry and my skin just feels so dehydrated constantly so that makes a big impact. I'm then going to go in with the Trini London as my SPF. It's the BFF cream and it's SPF 35. No it's not, I tell a lie, it's SPF 30 and it goes on white but when you massage it in it adds like a slight tint so it adapts to your skin tone so you don't get that ashiness. I'm using the shade light, they do do a few shades in it but it's great because it's kind of like your base tint with a bit of SPF and if I'm not really wearing any makeup this is just really nice of a weekend to throw on, get your SPF protection and just give you a nice glowy base. Okay concealer. I'm going to go for my number one favourite which is the Bare Minerals Bare Skin Concealer. I'm just going to use that under my eyes, top lip, a bit on my chin and then the Hourglass Stick Foundation. I don't like to use too much but I'm just going to put a tiny bit on my cheeks where I get a little bit of redness through, a bit on my nose and forehead for good luck and then the Hourglass Vanish Foundation brush just to smush everything together and I'm almost just pressing it into my skin rather than blending which is the best thing to do when you use one of these brushes. It's great to smush your foundation in but if you rub it it's just going to take your product off so you want to use like a stipple in motion. I do my base first and then just take it under the eye and then once we are blended I'm just going to let that settle and then go in with a bit of bronze. This is the Guerlain Terracotta Bronzer with the Bobbi Brown Face Blender brush, just dusted where the sun would naturally hit. So bronzer you always want to pop where the sun would naturally hit if you were to be walking around in the sunshine which we're not doing right now in London in January and I'm going forehead, nose, cheeks, jaw and then I'm just going to buff some over my lids. I'm not really a big eye shadow wearer but that just gives a little bit of colour. Next up let's go liner now. What time are we on? Three minutes. This seven minutes goes quick. Nice. Right I'm using Black Ink Gel Liner by Bobbi Brown and I'm using it with the eyeliner brush. I'm just going to have to go for it and hope for the best. So I'm going to just mark out, imagine your lower lash line was to continue and then you're just going to smush back on yourself, colour it in, make sure you get right into the root of the lashes and then work it into the inner corner, up on the other side. So again imagine your lower lash line was to continue. I should have given this mirror a clean before I started this. We'll work with it and then take it over onto the inside and then to make sure you've got it in the right place you just want to grab a cotton bud and you're gonna just drag it from the lower lash line up and you can see it kind of just moves the liner into place so that you know you've got your flicks in the right place. This one's a little bit low so when you're in a rush it just naturally moves the liner and that's it. Perfect. Not exactly perfect but as perfect as we can get it in this short time frame. Whack on some mascara. This is the Givenchy Disturbia which I'm really loving, especially on my little short lashes. I'm going to put it on my top lashes and then a little on the bottom. Brows. I'm going to just go for a little bit of clear brow gloss by Blink Brow Bar London which I'm loving just to make your, if you've got dark brows like me it's great just to make your brows stand up if they don't need too much colour and they just need a little bit of taming. It's a great product and then 55 seconds I'm going to finish with a little drop of Becca Glow Drops which I love just to give you that extra pick-me-up in the winter. That nice high shine to the cheeks. You can do a tiny bit down the nose, the nose, top of the lip and then we're going to finish with a lip. I've literally just been sent this, it's beautiful, I've not tried it yet. It's the Luxe Liquid Lip in Precious Gem by Bobbi Brown and I love a bold lip. So nice, such a pretty colour. I'm just going to use my finger. Smile. I always just, whatever colour it is, smush. Oh, did I do it? How do we turn this off? And that's it. What's it saying? Oh yeah, whatever lip I'm using I just smush a little bit over my cheeks to make sure it all kind of ties together. I hope you've enjoyed this kind of just fresh liner and lip look and thanks. Oh, I need to nominate someone. I'm going to nominate Adeola. She creates some gorgeous looks so I know she'll do a gorgeous Get the Gloss in 7. Thanks for having me and have a great day.
