17 Beauty Bloggers Challenge

Sunday, 26 February 2012


So recently I was contacted by the lovely people at 17 to take part in the 17 beauty bloggers challenge! I was really, really excited about this as I love the brand - I have nearly all the supreme shine lipstick range! The challenge was to create a look using a beauty bundle of 17's cosmetics from their upcoming spring range due out in March. I absolutely jumped at the challenge and below you can see the look I created below. I apologise in advance for the shoddy pictures - I'm having digital camera issues!








Full list of 17 cosmetics used:
17 BB Cream Light
17 Instant Bronzer
17 Bronzer Medium 
17 'In Bloom' Blush
17 'Spring Bright's' Eye Shadow Palette 
17 'Hazy Days' Eye Shadow Palette
17 Kohl Eye Liner 'Black'
17 Translucent Powder
17 Beauty Crush Lip Stain 

I decided to go with quite a natural look with the main emphasis being on bright, glowing skin. Firstly I applied  a light layer of BB cream followed by my trusrt  my trusty 17 translucent powder. I then dusted the larger bronzing palette over all of my skin and did a bit of contouring with the medium bronzer. 

I then used the bronze/brown colours out of the palettes to create a very soft bronze smokey eye. I smudged a little bit of 17 kohl eye liner towards the outer corner of my eye and then used a small, dampened lip brush to apply one of the lighter colours to the inner corner of my eye to let the light in. 

I then curled my lashes and added 2 thin coats of the peep show mascara. 

To finish, I applied the beauty crush lip stain (which is gorgeous btw) and applied a healthy dose blush and glow blusher in 'in bloom'. 

I really enjoyed this challenge and loved the creativity of designing a look! I'd love to know your thoughts, let me know what you think! Rebecca x

    @Charlotte - It's not actually! It's a rough blow dry with my KMS spray then I just randomly curled a few sections under with straighteners!

    @Laura - I love a gold eye shadow too! And thank you for the lovely compliment!
