Thought I would do an everyday make-up post as they seem to be quite popular! This is just a collection of the items I wear on a day to day basis, sometimes I'll wear less than this and sometimes I'll add something else.
The first thing I put on my face is my No7 Beautifully Matte foundation. I tried the Mac Studio Fix before this as both are designed for oily skin (me wooo) to keep you shine free. I personally think this one is better as it keeps you shine free without going the other way and making your skin go a bit dry and flaky as I found Mac Studio Fix did that (If that makes any sense at all, but yes some matte foundations do make my oily skin go a bit flaky!) I then put on the Lasting Perfection Concealer by Collection to any blemishes I have and under my eyes to cover dark circles.. I know everyone has this concealer and says how great it is, but it really is! It has such great coverage and lasts all day. Finally I apply my Rimmel Stay Matte Powder all over my face to set my make-up and keep me shine free.
The next thing I do is apply blusher/bronzer. In the summer I tend to use bronzer and in the winter I prefer to use blusher. I use the Collection Shimmer Shades in way to go for bronzer and apply it to my cheek bones, temples and jawline. For blusher I use the collection shimmer shades in blushalicious blusher. They both have really good pigmentation and for £4.19 each they are such a bargain as well!
I then go onto my eyes and and use a brow brush to comb through my eyebrows before I draw on my eyebrows with the Collection Eyebrow Definer pencil in blonde. I really like the eyebrow pencil as the colour is great to match with my blonde hair, just a light brown, nothing too dark. I think it's so important to fill in your eyebrows as it just frames your face and completes the whole look! Sometimes I wear eyeshadow and on other days I can't be bothered. I double up my Collection Shimmer Shades in way to go and use it for eyeshadow as well as bronzer. I just love the shimmery brown shades and think they are a lovely dupe for eyeshadow. Sometimes I wear liquid eyeliner ( Barry M's Blink Waterproof Precision) on my eyelid with an added flick as well as adding a pop of colour under my eyes with a colourful eyeliner like blue or purple (Rimmel London's Scandaleyes Shadow Stick). Finally on my eyes I use 17's Blowout Mascara. I've tried quite a few mascara's but I always seem to repurchase this one, it's got a lovely big brush which curls and lengthens your eyelashes without clumping them. I just love it!
Finally on my lips I apply Vaseline to keep them hydrated and soft before I put on any lip product. I own quite a few lipsticks but the main lipstick I use is the Kate Moss Matte Lipstick in 107. It's a lovely dark red/purple colour and it lasts a long time throughout the day as well as the pigmentation being amazing! The other lip product I use quite a lot is Rimmel's Apocolips Lip Lacquer in Nude Eclipse. It's like a lipgloss but with the colour pigmentation and I think it's lovely, especially if you're not a fan of lipstick, this is a great alternative!
That is all of the products I use on a day to day basis, what products do you use for your everyday make-up? Are any of them similar to mine? x
