Current Favourite Makeup Products


A selection of my favourite makeup products at the moment

Bobbi Brown Hydrating Gel Moisturiser 
I have quite oily skin which is prone to breakouts so I find using a gel moisturiser works best for me. This moisturiser is quite light but definitely does the job of leaving my face soft and moisturised without making it look greasy.

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Even Finish Foundation
I've tried various foundations, before this I was using Estee Lauders double wear foundation but I found it made my skin break out a lot which then left me in a viscous circle because I would continue to use the foundation because I needed the coverage to cover the blemishes. With this Bobbi Brown foundation it gives me enough coverage and blends really well without feeling like I have a cakey foundation on my face. Will definitely purchase this again!

Bobbi Brown Illuminating Compact Powder
I swap between this and a Mac powder. I find the Bobbi Brown powder gives me a very natural even looking finish. The texture of this powder is creamy and super soft, it goes on beautifully.

Mac Bronzing Powder / Golden 
This has a slight glitter to it and is very natural looking which is perfect for during the day. 

Bobbi Brown 
I always swap between blushers, this one is very natural looking so I use this in my everyday makeup routine. It has a light matte texture that blends evenly and is long lasting. 

Estee Lauder Ideal Light Illuminating Concealer
Again I've swapped from double wear concealer to this, I was finding the double wear concealer was sitting in the fine lines and was a bit to heavy. This concealer gives a really nice even coverage, it's light reflective so will give a really illuminating healthy glow. I use this as a highlighter as well under my brow bone to make them look more defined or down the bridge of my nose. 

Mac Mineralize Skin Finish / Soft and Gentle 
I use this as a highlighting powder for my cheek bones, it can be used on the bridge of your nose or as a highlighter for your brow bone. I use this on my collar bones to contour and shins to elongate my legs. I found this has lasted me a lot longer than previous highlighting products I have used. This is well worth the money.

Estee Lauder Gel Eye Liner
I love this, I used to get really bad smudges on my eye lids from using eyeliner - this gel liner seems to set so much better without smudging and lasts longer. I use a brush to apply so I can get a neat finish. 

Bobbi Brown / Everything Mascara
I have yet to find the perfect mascara, my lashes are short and I am having a break from the individual lashes so at the moment they are quite brittle and short from having them on. This is long lasting and does not leave smudges under my eyes ,which is brilliant for bottom lashes.
