I’m an avid makeup and beauty product collector and
have been for a long time. Ever since I realised the power of makeup, how it
can enhance your best features and hide the not so great features, it can
change the way you look at yourself and completely transform yourself.
As my love for makeup has grown and grown over the
years, I’ve had my fair share of makeup mistakes and mishaps. But I’ve also
quickly become very knowledgeable on what works and what doesn’t. This is what
inspired me to write this blog post, I wanted to share five of my favourite
makeup products that haven’t failed me once.
To me, complexion products are the most important when
it comes to creating an amazing makeup look. It creates a flawless canvas,
brightens, conceals, and structures the face.
Chanel
Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation: This has been a staple for
me for years! I have diverted from this foundation a few times but I’ve always
come back to this one. Why? Because I can always rely on it to give me a flawless
complexion without caking my face with a heavy foundation. It’s full coverage
but is still buildable, and leaves a “barely there” feeling on the skin. P.s.
It smells amazing!
Rimmel
Stay-Matte Pressed Powder: This is a well-known staple product
for many makeup enthusiasts, and if you’ve tried it I’m sure you’ll understand
why! It’s affordable, it’s translucent, it’s not messy or cakey and perfect for
setting foundation and concealer. I personally love the matte look so this is
without a doubt always in my makeup bag!
Eyes and brows are also important to me when creating
my makeup look for the day. Eyes can complete the look in ways that other
facial features can’t, and the brows can beautifully frame the face. So to me
finding products that worked well to help these stand out was crucial.
Chanel
Inimitable Intense Volume Length Curl Separation: I’ve
tried many mascaras, both high end and high street, and I’ve never tried anything
like this. It’s easy to be a bit sceptical about a product that claims to
achieve everything you would want, like this one does. But it really does do
everything it says on the box. I love the brush; it’s a plastic brush with
flexible elastomer which evenly coasts even those hard to get lashes. It’s not
one of those mascaras that dry out after two months; it lasts a long time which
is very useful to me. It’s one of my absolute favourite mascaras and it’s
always in my makeup bag.
Anastasia
Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade (Chocolate Brown): I’ve
already written and raved about this particular product, and I have to say if I
was stranded on a deserted island this is definitely something I would need to
bring! If you’re anything like me you’re obsessed with eyebrows, and to me the
ABH Dip Brow Pomade is perfect for both beginners and experts. It’s a perfect
smudge proof creamy formula which will completely transform the look of your
brows.
So those are just five of my must-have makeup products
that I absolutely cannot live without! There are so many more must-have
products that I’d love to share with you, so if you like these kind of blog
posts please let me know and I’ll write some more for you!
Thanks for reading!
