Firstly, I always start with a good primer. I have done a post about this if you want to have a read of that! It's called Nivea Express Hydration PRIMER! I love this little gem to bits. It's around €8 which is fantastic for a good primer. It feels like silk on your skin and keeps my makeup in place all day long. This is an absolute must have in your makeup bag.
Then theres my most favourite foundation of all time. MAC Studio Sculpt. In my mac products I always purchase the colour NW 20. With this foundation you only need a small amount for your whole face & it is full coverage which I love. It doesn't make your skin feel clogged at all with is an absolute bonus!
I always apply my concealer after my foundation, I know that other people apply it before. But it is what works best for me :) I use MAC Mineralize Concealer in NW20. It's a liquid form with an applicator which I love, it's easy to apply and does exactly what it's supposed to do. I have dark circles under my eyes & this covers them perfectly.
I then set my makeup with MAC Studio Fix Powder in NW20. I cannot rave about this stuff enough!!! I'm telling you girls it's a god send!!! I'm so glad I discovered this back a few years ago when I began my MAC obsession. I can not describe in words how amazing full coverage this is and how well it sets foundation. If I do not have this in my makeup bag I am not a happy camper & will drive two hours to my closest MAC store to get my hands on 3 of them at one time :)
Then just to add a small bit of dimension to my face, I contour a little. And to do this I used MAC Studio Fix Powder in NW40. It's the perfect colour for me to contour with & as I've said in the paragraph before this stuff was made by a genius!!! Bless those brains :)
I love me some blusher!!!! So I have quite a few from MAC but my two favourites are: peachykeen, which is a bronzed shimmer colour. There's a nice shimmery hue to this! I feel in love from my first application. Then there is my most fave of all MAC blushes: well dressed!! Such a soft pink, suitable for every day or night time! So girlie and comes out a beautiful colour on the skin. I highly recommend these two if you aren't very experimental with your blushers. They are eye catchjng yet subtle!
I like to highlight my cheek bones, to do this I use a cream colour base from MAC called shell. This is so creamy, it glides onto the skin and when the light catches this it is beautiful! It's also gorgeous on the brow bone for a night out :)
My eyes are extremely sensitive. I can't use cheapish eye products or my eyes will continuously water and go really red and itchy! Out of all the mascaras and eyeliners I have tried. Urban Decay & Benefit products are the only ones that don't cause this reaction. So I have stuck to these two amazing products due to the facts that they don't cause my eyes to become sore, plus the fact I have spent so much money trying to find the perfect ones that I am staying put with these two :) the eyeliner is called 24/7 glide on eye pencil, the colour is perversion. It's the blackest black. It glides on and stay on!! It doesn't smudge, not even in the slightest. I swear by it. Then there's the fab mascara, it's called supercurl curling mascara. This too is in black. This lengthens my eyelashes and takes them to a whole other level!! I love that it doesn't clump my eyelashes together. No spider lashes here :)
Lastly, I fill my eyebrows in using benefits Brow Zings. I use the colour medium. It comes compact, with wax, a filler, an application brush & mini tweezers. This is the perfect colour for my skin tone. And it works perfectly. The wax keeps your stray hairs at bay, the filler fills all your little peeping gaps, the brush is perfect and the tweezers is so handy to pluck any unwanted growing hairs. So this is ideal for keeping your eyebrow in shape and looking groomed to perfection.
If I'm heading out on a night out I will add eyelure lashes in 116, a bright lipstick and a little eyeshadow just to up my game a little because I wear makeup everyday!!
