These are the makeup products I use every day. Well truly I don't wear makeup every day because some days I don't go anywhere and sometimes I'm just with friends. But this is the makeup I reach to when just going out to do nothing special. Then again the makeup I use doesn't change much to what I do when I go out for a party or special occasions but I guess I just use more product then. I'm just going to start off with showing you the products I use and then maybe on another blog post I will say how I use it and what with.
The foundation I use is the L'Oréal Paris True Match Foundation in the shade D1-W1 Golden Ivory. I chose this foundation because of the big range of skin shades they have, I seem to have gotten paler as I got older so I've had to go down a few shades in foundation over time. It is a medium coverage I think which is good as you can layer the foundation and it won’t look so visible on your skin. It also has a sort of runny consistency which makes it super bendable and easy to work with.
I concealer I use is Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in the shade Fair 1. I've been using this for years, even before I started using foundation. It has lots of coverage and it can be used on blemishes and under eye’s which I love. I use a light shade, one because I'm pale anyway and two because I won’t to highlight under my eyes.
For my powder I use the Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder in the shade 001 Transparent. I use this shade because it is transparent so is doesn't add any colour to your skin or foundation so you never have to worry about whether it has made your face look lighter or darker. I like this powder because I do have oily skin and I can get pretty shiny throughout the day so this is a life saver. I also like the look of matte skin, nails and lips so wearing this helps to achieve that.
For contouring I use the Sleek Makeup Face Form Contouring and Blush Palette in Light 373. It comes with one warm matte brown, a shimmery highlighter and a shimmer inky coral blush. I don’t use the blush very often as I feel blush makes my face look odd, some people just don’t suit it! I only use a little bit of highlighter on the top of my cheekbones and on my eyebrow bone, I use more when I go out but a little is perfect to just add a little shine to your cheeks. I use the contour shade everyday as my face can look a little chubby without it. I don’t do a full contour every day, I just add a little under my cheekbones by doing the pouty face and I’m done. Also having a mirror in the palette is handy and I can use that instead of adding another mirror to my makeup bag.
For bronzer I use the Rimmel London Natural Bronzer in the shade 022 Sun Bronze. I use this just to add a little colour to my face and I guess I use it instead of blush. The colour is a matte shade but sometimes you can see a little shimmer in there, but barley any. I love matte for everyday because it looks a lot more natural on the face.
For eyebrows I use two products the first is two eye shadow colours from the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette which are Naked 2 and Faint. I mix them together as my eyebrow colour is somewhere in between them too. I fill in my whole eyebrow with the mix of these two and then I use the second product to shape them. The second product is the Soap & Glory Archery Brow Tint & Precision Shaping Pencil in the colour Brownie Points. One side it is in a pencil waxy form and the other is like a pen eyeliner but for eyebrows. I don’t tend to use the pencil side that often. I use the pen side to shape them, do the arch and fill in any sparse area’s I have. Everybody goes through that stage where you over pluck your eyebrows and I think I’m still paying for mine as in some places I don’t grow much eyebrow hair.
For eyeliner I use the Soap & Glory Smoulder Kohl Waterproof Eyeliner in my waterline and tightline. I love this eyeliner as it can be used for so many different eyeliner looks and it also smudges easily. As to the waterproof part, I have cried a few times wearing this eyeliner and it hasn't budged but I wouldn't advice rubbing your eyes because then it will. The second product I use is Soap & Glory Supercat Liquid Black Eyeliner Pen in the colour Black. I use this for my cat eye as it glides on really well and I feel that a pen does a better job than any other time of liner. It gives you a crisp line and you can do your cat eye very quickly with this liner.
For mascara I use Maybelline New York the Falsies Volume Express in the colour Black Drama. I use this on the top lashes. I have always had a problem with my top lashes, they never used to curl whatsoever and because I have very long eyelashes this was always a problem for me. Since I started using this mascara my eye lashes now curl and they don’t look odd any more, which is great! I definitely love this mascara as I don’t feel like its clumpy and it glides on well. On the bottom lashes I use the Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara in the colour 301 Black. I use this on my bottom lashes as I don’t like when my bottom lashes curl so I use this to make them longer and I feel like they work well together. Sometimes the brush has a lot of product on but I just wipe the excess off onto the tube so I don’t waste any.
For those of you who are wondering why there are no lip products there it because I rarely use any, all that I use is the Maybelline New York Baby Lips. I use the Intense Care one in the yellow tube with orange writing. I didn't add it to my makeup products as I believe that it is more or a lip balm than anything else and it doesn't have any colour to it. Although it makes my lips soft and it’s not too shiny when on my lips. It is also easy to take around with you. I do like the other shades but I get most wear out of this one.
P.s sorry it's late
