I love doing make-up. I didn't used to have any make-up skills whatsoever, it was all just self-taught through trial and error. However in the past year I have been educating myself more on techniques and skills and have really been enjoying becoming a bit more adventurous.
There's something about taking the time before my day properly starts, to do my make-up and prepare myself for the day, that I always look forward to.
In general, I tend to stick with the same face routine everyday, but like to switch up my eyes, and then try different things for special occasions. So I thought I'd blog my everyday face make-up products today!
I started using Revlon ColorStay Foundation for Normal/Dry Skin in the colour Buff (as I have pale, pale skin) last month. I love it as it has a really silky, light feel once it's on and also has a nice matte finish and good coverage. In addition to that it's kept my skin pretty clear, whereas my previous foundation was leading to slight breakouts. I would definitely recommend it as a good quality high street foundation.
I have seen so many Youtube videos recommending this concealer and raving about how phenomenal it is, so when I needed a new concealer I decided to try it out. The Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer is a cheap high street concealer and is genuinely pretty good. It has good coverage and doesn't illuminate, which is something I don't like in concealers. It works great with foundation too, reducing the amount you need to use.
For eyebrows I've been using the GOSH Eyebrow Kit Multi. On the one hand it's great as it has three colours to choose from, but on the other hand it's a bit annoying as I only actually use one of the colours. But the one I do use, the darkest shade, is the perfect colour match for my eyebrows, so I'm happy.
Rimmel's Stay Matte Pressed Powder is the only face powder I have used for the past few years and it would take a seriously good alternative to pry me away. It's cheap, it does exactly what you want it to and it isn't cakey or heavy. Perfect.
First off, this Solait Maxi Bronzer is huge. Although it's Superdrug's own brand, I love it. It's not super pigmented, so you can easily control how much you build it up without looking like an orange and it's a flattering bronze colour. Cheap and gets the job done, exactly what I like.
The blush I'm using at the moment is Maybelline Expert Wear Blush in the shade Rosewood. I'm averagely happy with it, but I'm looking forward to using it up and trying out a new one. It takes a few too many times of applying it to get the shade you want in my opinion, but other than that it's not a bad blush at all!
I love having a little look into other people's make-up bags and seeing what they think about different products, so I hope you enjoy seeing mine too!
