My everyday makeup

Hi everyone! Hope you’ll all well, today I’m going to be sharing my everyday make up. Here are all the products I use:  

 

1. First off I start with a primer – I use the Baby Skin primer by Maybelline. I think this is a great primer and a good dupe for Benefits porefessional.
2. Then I go on with my foundation – Clinique Anti-blemish liquid foundation (I have previously reviewed this so this link will be here)
3. Once I have my foundation on I do my eyeshadow using the Naked 2 pallete (also reviewed here)
4. I then proceed to use the Naked 2 pallete in the shade ‘Tease’ to fill in my eyebrows 
5. Once I’ve filled in my eyebrows I use the Maybelline Browdrama to set my brows in place 
6. I then curl my eyelashes and use Maybelline the rocket volume express mascara 
7. Then it’s onto concealer – I use the Collection concealer and Mac Pro longwear  concealer hand in hand to cover under eye circles and blemishes (both reviewed here)
8. Once this is complete I set my face using the Rimmel stay matte powder (which as you can see from the photo is very loved) at this stage I also would contour however I don’t usually contour on a everyday basis but if I was I’d use the Sleek contour pallete
9. Finally I pop on some lipstick – I chose the Loreal colour riche lipstick in Striking Amythest (for my other go to lipsticks go here)

And that’s it! I’m ready for the day. I hope you found this is someway helpful!

What are your everyday products? Do you use any of these? Let me know in the comments below, I really do appreciate it.

The perfect smokey eye pallete

Hi everyone! I thought I’d just share my all time favourite eyeshadow pallete with you. I absolutely adore the variety of colours, without them being too extreme. The pallete which has become my all time favourite is the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. I know it’s rather pricey for a pallete (£38) but I think it’s defiantly worth it considering they are highly pigments with a variety of shades both matte and shimmery. I don’t usually use particularly creative and colourful eyeshadows, I mainly just use a more neutral pallete so this is perfect for me. I use this pallete every single day therefore I can justify the purchase. I’ve included a couple of photos so you can get an idea of the colours. 

However I understand many don’t want to spend lots of money on make up therefore I’ve also found a drugstore version which I’ve also tried and tested; the Sleek Storm eyeshadow pallete. The colours in this pallete are highly pigmented and it is a great dupe for the Naked 2 pallete. I hope some of you find this helpful!
