Daily Makeup

If there is one thing that I love more than clothes than it's makeup, I have an obsession with high end and high street makeup. I tend to buy a lot of my makeup in Boots and Superdrug but I do occasionally splash out. This is makeup that you will tend to see me wearing on a typical day, it sometimes varies but this is what I tend to wear of a day or a night. 

Foundation - Studio Fix Fluid When I went to New York in 2010, I decided to try out Mac before then I had really trouble finding a colour with good coverage and one which wouldn't make me look orange. The makeup artists found my colour.. and I haven't looked back. I would recommend Mac foundation to everyone I know that it's a bit pricey but it's seriously worth the money I would never use another foundation again. 

Concealer - Collection Lasting Perfection - The amount of concealers I've gone through in the last few years is unreal I think I've tried every drugstore concealer there is. I have only been using this one for a few months and it's absolutely amazing the coverage is flawless, I think this is as good of a concealer as you can get. It is also seriously cheap so it makes up for the costly foundation. 

Face Powder - Maybelline FIT ME - I have to say I really liked this powder to start with but I've recently gone off it. The powder gives you really good coverage and lasts for a long time on your face. The only problem I find with this is that it can make you look incredibly orange on a high tech camera. I spend a lot of time in front the camera (i'm a film and televison student) and when finally in natural light it can make you look really dark. Would anybody be able to recommend a powder that won't make me go so orange? 

Blusher - Nars Orgasm - This blush is quite frankly the best thing I have ever bought, I brought this in the summer when I was in America and although I think that Nars is incredibly pricey it is such a good blusher that I would definitely get it again, the colour is sensational and last's all day which I think is really great as very few blushers do these days. 

Eye Shadow - Urban Decay -Naked 2 - This is the only eye shadow that I will wear, it is quite literally the best eye shadow out. Again this is very expensive but I think it is most definitely worth it. The is a variety of colours that you can mix to get different combinations. Each of the colours are great and I use every single one of them. 

Eyeliner - Rimmel Eyeliner Pencil and Rimmel Exaggerate-Eyeliner - When it comes to eyeliner I don't think there is anyone better than Rimmel, I swear by these. The exaggerate eyeliner is great if you know how to apply it, if you're a beginner I wouldn't recommend this as it can be tricky to apply. The colouring of this is great as it never fades, also similar to the pencil the colour never fades and doesn't make you look like you have bags after a long day. 

Eyebrow pencil - Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil - I have always hated my eyebrows because they were so dark, thick and bushy, but after learning how to take care of them I literally swear by this product, I think that eyebrow are the most important feature to your face, good eyebrows can go a long way. This product is incredibly cheap and worth the money if they have your colour. 

Lipsticks - There are two types of lipsticks that I stand by - MUA & Rimmel - Kate. MUA are great as they are only £1 and for a day to day lipstick I will use shade 6, I think it's a great bright colour which lasts all day. For an evening or going out look I always go to Rimmel and I recently purchased Kate 107. This lipstick is rated so highly and I know so many people that have got it. I think these are a must have. 

Make up brushes - MAC Foundation Brush and Real Techniques Blush Brush - MAC brushes are very expensive but they are absolutely amazing I think that they are worth it if you want a brush that is going to last you a long time and still manage to give you excellent coverage. The blush brush is the only Real Techniques brush that I own, I would love some more for Christmas I think that these are amazing because they are so soft and smooth, they feel so nice against your face. 

Until Next Time
