GET READY WITH ME: ELSA.

Totes stole this photo from Snapchat.

Firstly - apologies for my absence over the Easter weekend, I thought I'd use it for a bit of relaxation time, that and the fact that I've been absolutely rushed off my feet at work. On Sunday, I made my debut as Elsa at our brand new, 'Frozen' parties - something my boss and I have been planning for a long time now. I take on the role of Elsa, and stay in character throughout the party - I play lots of party games with the children and most excitingly - I SING! We've worked hard planning the perfect outfit and wig so I wanted to make sure that the make-up for Elsa was perfect, and appropriate for a children's party.
I cleansed as usual, using the Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser, Kueshi Aloe Vera, Camomile and Calendula Toner, Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser, and Benefit's It's Potent eye cream before moving onto make-up. In terms of make-up, I primed my skin with The Body Shop Instablur primer and then moved onto eyes, using the MAC Prolongwear Concealer in NW20 to prep my eyes and conceal any blemishes. I like to conceal blemishes before foundation in order to create a much fuller coverage for my foundation. I used a taupe shade from the Make Up Revolution Iconic 3 palette as a transition shade, and then moved straight onto my 120 Summer Tones palette where I used the brightest pink shade to work through the crease and the outer corner of the eyelid. I really packed this on to make the colour pop before I decided to add the purple to the main eyelid. I used a flat, fluffy eyeshadow brush to apply this and blend into the pink in the crease. I continued to build up these two colours until I was entirely happy with the pigmentation of the eyes. I then moved on to using the pink glittery shade from the same Make Up Revolution palette and applied this in the middle of the eyelid to add extra dimension. I tightlined the eyes using the Avon Glimmerstick Cosmic in the shade Blackened Night. and lined my upper lashline, without a wing, using the Soap and Glory Supercat Liner. I lined my waterline with the Rimmel Kohl Kajal pencil in the shade Nude before applying mascara - I used two, firstly the Avon Supershock mascara, mainly to the upper lashes, before applying a coat of Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless to the bottom lashes and a small amount to the top lashes to complete the eye look.

For the base, I wanted to create a pale, rosy, lightly contoured look - to do so I mixed Illamasqua Skin Base in SB04 and MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NW20 to create a paler 'your skin but better' foundation - I knew Elsa was the Ice Queen so I wanted to look appropriately pale without looking silly.. I buffed this into my skin using a Real Techniques Buffing Brush. I then used my MAC Prolongwear Concealer, again in NW20 to highlight under my eyes and the high points of my face before moving onto contour. For contour I used the Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit and the shade Java to very lightly contour and Banana to highlight. After, I used the BellaPierre cosmetics Cheek and Lip stain in the shade Coral on the apples of my cheeks to create a really rosy look - I then went over this with Benefit's Rockateur blush to accentuate the rosy cheeks that I wanted to create. Rockateur also has flecks of highlight which made the cheeks look frosted, which was a lovely touch. The final touches to the skin were a light dusting of MAC Select Sheer pressed powder to set the foundation, and a touch of The Balms Mary Lou Manizer to the high points of my face, and the inner corners of my eyes.

I always do my brows after my base - I don't know why, it's just something I do. Elsa has dark brows (thank God!) so I went with my usual Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Medium Brown. Might write something on my brow routine sooner or later, but I just brush them upwards, fill them in and brush out any excess product with the attached spooly.

For lips, I'd prepped them with Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream, and then lined with an Essence lipliner in the shade 12 Wish Me A Rose. I then filled in with my Avon lipstick in the shade Pout. I felt like this was too pink, so chose to remove and just use the lipstick instead. After the lips, this make-up look was complete.

When I got to work, I got changed and a work friend of mine french plaited my hair because my hair was so thick I couldn't get my wig (we finally settled on the Fever Wig Collection: Rhianne wig) on properly which I was really grateful for! We took some photos, I practiced my singing and off we went!

I really really enjoyed being Elsa for the day!
