My go to makeup products!

Todays blog post is all about the wonderful world of makeup. Like most girls in their twenties, I love makeup. Love getting glam for nights out, love a statement lip colour, love caking that highlighter on for that glowwww. Gonna do a quick run down of my go to makeup products which I cannot liveeee without…

Foundation- Estee Lauder Double wear in shade dawn.

I cannot remember what my life was like before double wear. Hands down, the best foundation I have ever used. For me, I absolutely love a full coverage look and something that stays in its damn place. Doublewear is absolutely that- a super reliable foundation that stays loyal to you even through sweat & tears. I actually used to work for estee lauder so this is how I came across this gem, I also used to get it for alot cheaper with 60% off but those days are gone… cry…

This foundation has quite a heavy feel to it so if you like a light coverage or something that doesn’t feel as thick then Estee Lauder also do double wear light which would be a perfect alternative.

Hilight- illamasqua beyond powder In shade Dynasty

I feel like I don’t even need to write anything here, just look at the god damn glow of it in the palette. This is the first product I tried from this brand and can definitely say it’s a firm favourite. I personally think its really good value for money because you really don’t need a lot to achieve the perfect highlight meaning this beauty will last you a long time!

Lips- CAN’T POSSIBLY CHOOSE

Wayyyy too hard to pick a favourite brand or colour for lip products. But what I will say is that one of my favourite brands I use is limecrime velvetines. They have the most amazing colours to choose from that are a bite more unique and different to what you want to find with other makeup brands. This lip product goes on like a lip-gloss but has an ultra-matte finish which is absolutely flawless. They feel super hydrating and also stay in their place really well throughout the day/night.

Urban Decay born to run eye-shadow palette

Currently the best thing I own. Bought this baby in Bangkok airport in the duty free so saved a few pennies but it was still pretty pricey. Gals, 100% think it’s definitely worth the money, the colours are absoloutley devine. And whilst I know you can buy palettes for a lot cheaper with the same shades in or ‘dupe’ versions of brands, the proof is really in the pudding in the application of it. The pigment of these shades is incredible, and the vibrancy of them isn’t lost when you start to blend with another colour. This is my first ever urban decay palette, so I plan on giving it the attention it truly deserves and treating it like its my baby.

MAC Strobe cream

I’ve had this product for a while now and I really find it’s perfect to use pre-makeup application. Not only does it moisturise your skin, it gives it a lovely healthy luminous glow and helps your foundation application go on silkyyyy smooth. Oh yeahhhh. I would definitely recommend this product for anyone who suffers with dry skin/sensitive skin like myself as it doesn’t cause flare ups or that ‘’stinging feeling’’ you can get from some products! You can even use this product just as a moisturising base if you don’t plan to apply makeup on a particular day. It achieves a really healthy dewy glow and lets face it- we all want that damn glow.
