-WARNING: MAKE UP TALK!!!-

Ok so this is totally random but people keep asking me to write a blog on this so they can read it so here you go…

-I WARN YOU IN ADVANCE THIS IS MAKE UP TALK-

Ok so I’m a girl so yes I love make up but no I’m not crazy obsessed with it. I could easily go out with no make up on.

So here are the facts some of you keep asking me about.

Things I swear by if I need them:

FOUNDATIONS

Don’t really wear foundation because I have really clear skin but if I had to choose the best one by far is Este Lauders Double Wear Light. Easy to apply, medium coverage and won’t sweat off or smudge or transfer on to anything. Incredible staying power.

POWDERS

I have a mac compact but to be honest I actually think its quite shit! I usually take it on a night out just incase but I don’t really use it that much. Best powder by far is Bare Minerals powders! Absolutely love it! Just research is because I swear by it! A drug store brand that is also quite good but quite sheer is Maybelline Dream Matte Powder.

BLUSHERS

Again not something I really use because my skin has a red undertone especially in my cheeks so I have a natural blush but if I wear foundation on my cheeks I love to put Nars blushers on top or better yet the Chanel blushes!

BRONZERS

Bare minerals warmth is like a natural touch of sun but you have to be so careful with how much you put on. A little really is a lot!

EYE SHADOWS

I Like Mac but I’m not so in love with it that I have every colour but I do have a few. Too Faced and Urban Decay are good and a few other brands like Lancôme, Dior, Elizabeth Arden and so forth. I tend to like browns, mushroomy, browny purples, natural colours but that’s not to say I love wearing a smokey eye look or other colours I don’t normally wear.

EYELINERS

If I could only wear one product it would be this. Almost half the time it’s the only thing I do wear make up wise. I only use liquid so surprisingly Rimmel’s liquid eyeliners. If I had to choose pencil eyeliner it would be Urban Decays 24/7 eyeliners.

MASCARAS

Lancôme Hynose or Hypnose Drama is incredible for lengthening, thickening and volumising your lashes. And I really am talking from experience. I cannot express how many mascaras I have tried! But if you want thicker, volume lashes this really is amazing.

CONCEALERS

Don’t really wear these but the Dior Skin Flash is sooo much better than the YSL Touché Éclat in my opinion and apparently the opinion of so many others who have used and reviewed both. Also Mac is pretty good.

LIPSTICKS

Love Lancôme’s colour fever or L'Absolu Rouge range. Both ranges are amazing if you’re looking for a red lipstick. I’m really impressed with Nars lipstick pencils as well but my latest addiction is the new Dior Addict lipstick range. It goes on a smooth with a little sheen and leaves a subtle stain.

LIP GLOSSES

Kinda over gloss but a really good lip gloss that I love would be the Too Faced Mood Activated Lip Gloss in the fuchsia colour. It leaves a really nice stain to your lips.

LIP BALM

Elizabeth Arden is my addiction in this department with her Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick Sheer Tint in blush or berry. I honestly have never used a simple lip balm since I tried this. This goes with me absolutely everywhere!
