So after reading through many blogs and looking at their make up routines I’ve realised I have not actually talked about mine on this blog. I love watching videos on YouTube about how people apply their make up and what products they use and in this blog post I’ll tell you what I use on my face. My skin is dry so the some of the products I use are best suited for my skin but most products are suitable for all skin types :).
1. Garnier Moisture Match- First I moisturise my face with the Garnier moisturiser, I use the one for dry to very dry skin. It’s a really good moisturiser but it takes some time to set into the face so you have to rub it in for a minute. I use this after cleansing my face at night too because my face becomes dry and this just smooths my skin right up :).
2. Garnier 5 Second Perfect Blur Primer- After moisturising my face I use my primer to prime my face. This primer is really good and gives of a matte finish. It reduces the look of fine lines along with pores. It gives the skin a smooth finish as well and some say that it is a good dupe for Benefits Porefessional!
3. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer- I love this concealer, it is a really good one that covers any blemishes or dark circles. The greatest thing about this concealer is the price! It’s only £4,19 much much cheaper than any other concealers out there and also affordable too! I favour this one over my mac concealer any day and that’s saying something!
4. Mac Mineralize Moisture SPF15 Foundation/ Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Foundation SPF10- I’m testing out the Mac foundation as I just bought it recently, it’s supposed to be good for dry skin as it provides a moisture finish. I wore it today and at first I didn’t like the finish it gave me, I’m still on the fence about it but it turned out decent in the end. Meh I have a feeling that I’ll end up loving it later on it’s just about getting used to it. The Estee Lauder foundation I really love. It’s a nice medium coverage that easily buildable as with the mac that’s light to medium. The Estee Lauder one is the one I would choose to wear on a night out. If any of you have either foundation comment down and let me know what you think of them. To apply my foundation I use the Real Techniques foundation brush or expert face brush it depends on which one is at hand. I love Real Techniques brushes they are really good quality and now I am drooling over their Bold Metal Collection but I cannot justify the prices :(.
5. Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot Blush Palette- I picked this little pot of roses up from Boots one day on a whim. I’ve been wanting to buy the Hoola bronzer for a while and the sales lady recommended me to buy the whole palette because it’d be worth my money as I was going to be spending £23 on the Hoola bronzer alone when I could just spend a few pounds more and get more for my money and hey ho I caved. I’m only human after all! :P. I used my Zoeva brush to brush Hoola onto cheekbones and then used Sugar Bomb on the apple of my cheeks and I must say that it actually looked nice and blended in well. This was all thanks to the Zoeva brush! I’ve tried to get a good brush to use the bronzer with and had no luck until I decided to go online and find a dupe for the Mac brush and came across Zoeva. I am so glad I bought it as it works very well and it seems like it’s going to last!
So here it is these are some of the things that I use on my face when I go out or am just feeling bored and so decide to do my make up. I hope you enjoyed reading this and if you want some reviews or what’s in my bag blog posts just let me know in the comments below and I’ll see what I can do.
Thanks for reading as always and have a good day/night 🙂
