FACE PRODUCTS

With my foundation I tend to apply it with a brush because I'm too lazy to use a beauty blender and I find i can use less product and get better coverage. I use the Real Techniques foundation brush and I have used this foundation for years as i just can't find a better one.

For my concealer(which I need a good amount of) i actually use this foundation by Rimmel London as it was too light or my actual foundation but a perfect way to brighten my under eyes! I do use a beauty blender to apply this(its horrifically dirty) as it really helps with the coverage.  

To set my face my makeup I use this collection prime and ready invisible powder. I apply that with my powder brush by Real Techniques(it's so fluffy) and I find it really helps to stop my face becoming oily during the day however I'm still to find a powder that keeps my makeup on for longer than three hours so if you have any suggestions please let me know!

CONTOURING AND HIGHLIGHT 

I need to add a lot of colour to my face as I am the same shade as a ghost but I've defiantly found the best products for me and I love them so much!! To start off with I use the middle bottom shade from the Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit(light to medium powder) to define my cheekbones and I use the Sculpting Brush by Real Techniques to apply that with. I'm quite subtle with my makeup hence why I use such a light shade and plus I'm too scared to go any darker! 

After that I get my beloved Hoola bronzer by Benefit and with the Blush Brush by Real Techniques I apply this to the out corners of my forehead and down onto my cheekbones. I also apply it to my jawline to help hide my double chins and down my next so it all blends in!

Then onto highlighter I use 2 products because there's no limit to the glow. I firstly go in with my No7 star palette on the tops of my cheekbones and up just past my eye to start the glow off. I then go in with my collection glow stick and apply over the areas I've already covered and then onto my cupids bow. Highlighter is so pretty and really makes my face look less dead.

EYEBROWS AND EYES

 My favourite part of doing my makeup is 100% when I do my eyebrows and eyes. There's so many different looks you can create when doing your eyes and it's a perfect way to match your makeup with the time of year! firstly I do my brows the the soap and glory archery pen in brownie points and this product honestly changed my life.
At the moment I love to put the hoola bronzer in the crease of my eye and blend that out. I then get my naked 2 palette (another life saver) and I put the shade YDK all over my lid and blend it with the bronzer. Then for the inner-corners of my eyes I put the shade BUSTED to brighten and add some colour to my eyes. On my lower lid i out CHOPPER to brighten my under eyes and adding a autumnal colour to my eyes. Sometimes I put the shade BOOTYCALL under my brow bone and on the outer corner of my lower lash line to add some definition.

After all that shadow I love to do my winged eyeliner and the product I'm currently using is the best eyeliner I've ever used and I've tried a LOT. After that i just apply my mascara and my makeup is finally done!


Although it sounds like a lot of makeup it's honestly not and it's perfect for everyday! If you have any suggestions on makeup products I might like please let me know and I will defo do some experimenting! I'm desperate for a more Burgundy and bronze like palette for my eyes so I'll hopefully find one and do an update!
