In The Bag – Rosanna Davison/Model

2013-03-13

“I was never allowed to wear make-up as a child or young teenager, so only really discovered the joys of make-up at the age of 16 or 17 and I’ve enjoyed it ever since! While I love to wear make-up for work and special occasions, I also really like having make-up free days wearing just a little tinted moisturiser and lip balm. It’s all about balance.
I love art, so I view make-up as similar to creating a drawing on a blank canvas. I really enjoy contouring and experimenting with different shades and colours. Make-up should enhance our own features, rather than completely hide them. So I try to start lightly and build up coverage and colours as I need them. Also, I love red lipstick to feel extra glamorous or if I haven’t had time to do my eye make-up!

Day-to-day I use a tinted moisturiser, mascara, a bit of blusher and lip balm if I’m not working and just shopping or meeting friends. For work and nights out, I love smokey eyes, black eyeliner and a flattering, shimmery blusher like Nars Orgasm.
I love highlighters, MAC Soft and Gentle is one of my favourites, mineral foundations and dark purple mascara to make my brown eyes pop! I have more than enough make-up at the moment but I always keep an eye out for exciting new brands or products. I love trying out new mascaras and lip glosses, they’re my weakness!”

How I create big, textured, tousled hair ☝️ How I create big, textured, tousled hair ☝️ 

Step 1. Dry shampoo, disperses evenly throughout the hair. I’m using @amika Perk It Up at the moment. Leave it to sit for a minute, then work in with your fingers. And then brush through.

Step 2. A curling wand. I use @instylerireland. Grab big sections and twist away from the face. For bangs, I like to pull forward and down, and then wave away from the face. Leave hair to cool for a minute or two. 

Step 3. Texture spray. I’m using @lovekmireland Doo Over here. Lift sections of the hair and spritz underneath. Don’t spritz on top as this will weigh down and mattify the hair. Do this evenly throughout your hair, and then work in with your fingers. 

Step 4. Root lift. I only ever use @oribe Dry Texturising Spray for this. I’ve never found anything as good as it. Again, lift up sections of hair (but only at the root), and spritz underneath. Do this evenly.m throughout - about three sections on each side of the head. Then spend a good minute working in with your fingers. 

And there you have it. Big textured, tousled hair 👋

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and National Su May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and National Sunscreen Day is on May 27th, so let’s talk about sunscreen 🧴 

☀️ Wearing sunscreen every day is the single best thing you can do for your skin. It’s the BEST anti-aging ingredient on the market.

☀️ Broad spectrum sunscreen reduces your chances of sunburn, of developing fine lines and wrinkles and pigmentation. It also gives your skin the opportunity to repair itself from damage that has previously occurred.

☀️ The way to get the stated SPF protection level on the bottle is by applying two milligrams of sunscreen per centimeter squared. That’s a solid amount of sunscreen. Make sure you’re applying a good dollop; a handful; at least a two finger amount. 

☀️ Apply liberally to your face, neck, chest, backs of your hands and your ears (and any other exposed skin!). 

☀️ Always use a standalone SPF. Using moisturiser or foundation with SPF is no good. The amount you put on your face will not give you sufficient coverage.

☀️ There are so many great sunscreens on the market, but the best one for you is the one you’ll actually use every day. Find one you love, one that feels good on your skin and works well under makeup, and stick with it.

Did you know Ruby Woo was created by accident? 💋 
The MAC team attempted to tweak the formula of Russian Red (another classic) and Ruby Woo was the result. It was launched in 1999 as part of a new lipstick collection called Retro Matte and has been a bestseller ever since! 
One of my all-time favourite, forever and ever lipsticks 💄
