Go To Make Up

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?

Much Love,
Umber x

  3. 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

  6. 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.

  8. 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!

  10. 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.
