Hello Lovelies
Today I wanted to do a little blog post about my everyday makeup using my go to products and brands.
When I say every day I mean when I have the chance, quite often its a bair face day unless going outside.
Foundation
The lightest and best coverage foundation I have
found so far has to be Mac's Studio Fix in Nw10. It is a bit dark
used on its own for my skin however and I have been using it very
sparingly with a touch of white powder over the top especially
in winter. I find it does break me out a little though.
I did splash out on a white
foundation for Halloween and
today has been the first use of it and I can see it quickly becoming
a firm favourite. The white foundation I have is Manic Panic
Dreamtone.
When im
not however looking for a full coverage I love using Make-up
Revolutions Ultra Face base with a dusting of powder otherwise it
looks a bit oily on my skin.
Lips
My go to lip colour which is becoming my staple colour is Endless
Ruby which is a lip stain by
Maybelline. I can fully
believe that it is a 'super
stay 10H Tint Gloss' as it really does stay like its meant
too. If im not wearing this
colour then my lips are usually
just coated in a clear lip balm
if im not rocking lilac
lips.
Mascara
I am yet to find my 'dream' mascara, often just moving between a few
iv randomly picked up. At
the moment it is the Maybelline
Great Lash and Estee Lauder
Sumptuous Extreme. I do really enjoy the Estee
Lauder mascara but at £24 a pop its not a luxury
I can easily afford, only having tried it due to it being a sample,
if I did have the money to throw at this product I probably would. It
has a great lengthening effect and really makes my lashes have a Wow
factor.
Eyeliner
For
eyeliner I also flit between two products. I really enjoy the Estee
Lauder Double Wear gel eyeliner but on a very friendly budget price
is the Primark pen eyeliner
which I have to say is an item I have bought a few times - not
because it runs out easily - but because its amazing. Both very
different products but I do
enjoy the ease of both to be used, the pen though is just a little
bit crisper and darker plus easy to do on the go without taking
brushes with me.
Powder Products
Iv decided to pop all these together because they all seem to come
down to one brand: Make-up Revolution. From eye
shadows, eyebrows, blushes and bronzers
this has to be the brand I am constantly looking at. Its the first
thing I grab every day, plus
is the brand I know I can trust for photo shoots which is a definite
must. Iv taken to having to label
each pallet because
I land up with 5 or 6 black cases on my vanity
and have to open them all up just to find that one perfect eye shade.
What are your go to products?
Do you use any of thoes mentioned above?

Red lips was always my go-to look but these days I'm more of a nude. And day makeup for is minimal, partly because I've got kids and so have about 2 mins in which to get ready each morning! My staples are Balance Me's BB Cream, Benefit's They're Real Mascara (best I've ever found), Shu Uemura eyelash curlers (essential), L'Oreal eyebrow kit, various eyeliners and always By Terry hyaluronic finishing powder. BTW, love your ruby lips - perfect compliment to your red hair :) Tx
ReplyDeleteIv never been one for nude, and i totaly understand the 2 minute rule for getting ready! Kids are a wonderful challange arnt they :)

My everyday make up is pretty simple! I use clinique foundation, YSL liquid eyeliner, any lipstick that I find, and my Mac bronzer... Love the red lips look & the colour of your hair is beautiful
ReplyDeleteSounds like a winning combination of products you have there.
DeleteThank you for your compliment :)

Due to dry skin issues and not being able to find a foundation that a) doesn't settle in my dry patches and b0 gives a decent coverage on my really rosy cheeks I have started using a mineral powder and so far I am impressed with it! I still haven't found the right mascara, I found a really good cheap one but then forgot which one it was when it ran out! I love your lip colour though. I'm not really one for wearing anything on my lips.
ReplyDeleteI really need to give mineral powder another go, i really enjoyed when i had a little sample pot (cant remember the brands name now). Thank you for reminding me again :)

My go to foundation is actually airbrush. I have a Dinair system and it leaves my face looking flawless. You should check it out sometime!

I was very lucky to be gifted one a few years ago, sadly it broke within a few uses (was brand new) and never really been intrested in trying once since as its a lot of money!

My routine is pretty simple: lactocalamine, eye pencil, lip gloss/lipstick. I have couple of Maybelline lipsticks, they are great !
ReplyDeleteI do love maybelline products, seem to have more of them than i relise.

Red lips & red hair are a fab combination. I struggle to find foundation pale enough too. Best mascara ever has got to be benefit, they're real. One coat of that & I look like a different person.
