Just some of my favourites! |
Let's start off the 2015 faves with face products! Still the same as last year, my favourite primer is Natural Radiance by mac cosmetics. This primer just really works for me and for my clients, I've tried so many primers and I always come back to this one. I've gone through four of these! Now for foundations. I have had a few different favourite foundations this year, but the one i'm currently using and i'm half way through my second bottle is the EX1 Invisiwear foundation. This only comes in 5 shades, I use F100 (I have just bought two more bottles as we speak). I have never wore a foundation and had so many compliments on my skin! Everyday when i'm working I get so many compliments. It gives a nice coverage but it looks like skin! I have already had lots of people ask me about this on Instagram, I have very oily skin and this foundation works for me. I wear my makeup for over 12 hours a day and this stays put. I love it! My favourite way to apply it is with a damp Beauty Blender. Onto concealer. I've used a few different ones this year, my two favourites being the Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer and the Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer. Both of these are full coverage, the Kevyn Aucoin sensual skin enhancer is very expensive, I have used mine since summer and it looks like I've only just scratched the surface a little bit goes a very long way. My favourite bronzer is the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer in Luminous Bronze. I don't know what it is about this bronzer but I just love it. It isn't matte or a shimmer it just gives a beautiful satin look to the skin. I love the colour, it makes my skin look naturally sunkissed. For blush my favourite blushes are from mac cosmetics. They have a huge selection! I love Trace Gold, Make You Mine, Margin and Cantaloupe. I also love Becca Cosmetics blushes. Now for my favourite makeup item Highlighter. There has been two mega ones this year that I cannot live without, Becca Cosmetics X Jaclyn Hill's Champagne Pop! I bought two on the launch date and then when I got it I loved it that much I bought another. I had to get mine on sephora but now it's sold on Cult beauty and Space NK in the UK. And then I think i'm number 1 fave is Anastasia Beverly Hills Illuminator in So Hollywood. This is the most perfect highlighter ever. If you don't like an intense glow then you won't like this, it's so shiny and metallic! Which I LOVE!
Now eyes/brows. My favourite brow product of the year is the Brow Fluidline in True Brunette by mac cosmetics. I love this products. It's similar to the ABH Dipbrow but the texture is softer. It lasts for ages! Now onto eyes. If you didn't read my last blog post (I'll put a link) it's very clear that my favourite eyeshadows are Makeup Geek! They are the most pigmented, easy to blend shadows I've used! And there are SO many colours to choose from. I also love loose pigments. Some of my favourite brands for pigments are mac cosmetics and Peaches and Cream (Stella & Disco are my FAVES), I've also been obsessed with glitter and mac do my favourites. My favourite base to apply before my shadows is the Soft Ochre Paintpot by mac! I wear false eyelashes every day and I have so many favourites. I love the Eldora lashes in H167's they are sold out at the minuet and i'm desperate for more but this brand has amazing lashes! Deffo check them out if you love lashes. I also use these lashes in my freelance kit. I also love the Wispie Sweet Nothings by Velour Lashes and the Lilly Lashes in Miami. I also really love the House of Lashes lashes in the style Siren! I love a feathery wispy lash. For lipstick/lipliner there is one brand I can always rely on. Mac cosmetics have the best lipstick and lipliner selection. Some of my favourites are (lipliners) Stripdown, Spice, Nice and Spicy, Morning Coffee, Double Time (lipsticks) Myth, Shy Girl, Pure Zen, Sweet & Sour, Peachstock.
Well guys I hope you find some new products to try and here's to a new year full of more fabulous faves!
