Everyday Make-Up
Good afternoon guys and gals, hope you're all well.
I've been going through my blog archives and I realised I haven't really updated you on what I wear make-up wise on a daily basis. It's all good and well telling you what I think of products, but the ones featured in this post keep me looking human so they're my heroes at the moment.
So here goes..
Base
Until recently I was convinced I had really bad skin so I used to go for full coverage and lots of concealer; all that has now changed. My skin is actually really good (I just have a few red spots around my t-zone) so I now prefer a more natural, fresher base. To achieve this I use...
E.L.F Mineral Infused Face primer - This provides me with the smoothest base for my foundation. It is very silicony so if you don't like that kind of texture stay away but I personally like it because it smoothes out my pores.
Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 115 Ivory - I'm going to do a full review of this soon but suffice to say I love it. My skin has never looked or felt better and I would never be without this foundation now. I highly recommend it. It evens out my skin perfectly and tones down the majority of the redness on my face, all while looking so natural. Big thumbs up.
Collection Lasting Perfection concealer - I don't really need to say a lot about this. It's heavy duty and does the job for a tiny price. I use this on the areas where the foundation doesn't quite cover my redness enough (typically around my nose and my chin) and it completes the flawless no-makeup make-up look.
17 Shine Control Loose Powder - Powder isn't something I'm very good at using. I'm really wary of the powdery/ cake face but this is so finely milled that I never worry when I use it. It controls my shine for around 6 hours which is good because my t-zone is a total oil slick at the best of times.
Soap and Glory Wizard of Flaws - I mix this with a little of the Collection concealer to brighten my under eyes. It works a treat and I love the look. I wouldn't use the concealer without this as it does look heavy and it sits in lines which isn't a good look.
