I think I'm going to structure this in a chronological order of the way I do my face, I'll mention a little bit about the product and if I like it however this is not a colossal review only a breif description. I hope you enjoy this post- I'll put some pictures for things you may not of heard of or that I really like however I don't have time to photograph everything unfortunately, This is part 1 (Base makeup) Part 2 will be eyes and eyebrows and part 3, contour, highlight and blush.
Moisturisers-
1) I currently use the simple kind to skin hydrating light moisturiser as I have dry skin I think it's important I moisturise every day.
2)I really enjoy using the elf makeup mist and set as a toner (aswell as to set) as it contains vitamins A,C&E and also Aloe,Green Tea and cucumber I feel it makes my skin glow so I spray this as night with no makeup to revitalise my skin.
Primers-
1)I really love the Touche Éclat Primer as it has so many cool glitter specks and looks like fairy dust, it also blurs AND add's radiance. The bottle is also beautiful
2) Smashbox Photofinish primer (Original) I liked this primer as it made my foundation last a long time however I prefer radiance boosting primers so won't re-buy
3) MAC Prep and Prime- Base lumiére
I like this as it really does add radiance however it doesn't really alter the staying time of my makeup.
4)MAC strobe cream-
This could deffo also count as a highlighter however I wear it under foundation so i'll call it a primer, this adds the most beautiful natural sheen and also adds an amazing over the top of foundation highlight, it also emphasises the highlighting powder you put on top. I love love love this.
Foundations
1) Chanel Vitalumiére foundation, I use this one when I want really dewy glowy skin and I really like it, the only problem I have with it is it transfers easily and can sometimes look oily if not controlled, however it feels really nice and has a good natural coverage (I have shades 10 and 20, both are too dark however 20 is a good summer shade, I mix 10 with mixing drops)
2) Touche éclat foundation, this is probably my favourite one as the shade B10 matches perfectly and no other mixers are needed, I like the finish and it's not as easily transfered as Vitalumiére.
3) MAC pro longwear- I used to love this however i've gone off of it now, I'm not keen on the finish and it just feels really heavy, I also find it makes my skin look bad when I've worn it. (I have shades N15 and N20, N15 is a good match in winter and N20 in summer)
4)MAC Studio sculpt SPF 15 Foundation- I love this when first applied however it oxodises and as I'm the lightest shade it's a tad too dark, however in Summer it's great as it's waterproof so lasts a long time.
5) Bourjois healthy mix foundation. I'm not too keen on this however I use it when I'm doing sfx makeup and it works alright.
Concealers
1)The only drugstore concealer I own is the revlon colorstay, I like this concealer and think it's amazing for the price, I found it more hydrating than the lasting perfection and ended up preferring it.
2) I really like the Laura Mercier High Coverage Concealer For Undereyes, It literally completely covers them and is super thick, it can crease but with powder it's fine, it really really really covers them and is super heavy duty.
3) Clarins Instant concealer is another good one, it's less full coverage but blends really nicely and doesn't crease.
4) MAC studio finish concealer, this is a good one to cover blemishes with as it's thick but you only need a small amount
5) MAC mineralize concealer- this is really nice as it's dewy and glowy, I also like the applicator.
6) Anastasia Beverly Hills Pro Pencil- This is good for concealing under the brows and also blemishes as it's in a pencil it has a nice precise point
That's all my base makeup so I hope you enjoyed reading part 1, Part 2 will probably be up next Sunday:]
