First up is primer and i am such a spray primer kind of girl these days, as it is super quick and easy. I recently started to use this one from Rimmel and i am in love with it, as it is quick drying, locks in makeup and it doesn't smell chemically like some can do, it smells really fresh. As this is a 2-in-1 product i both start my makeup and finish it with a spritz of this, then i am good to go.
Next up is foundation and at the moment i am loving this combination of a little bit of these two foundations together, it is super full coverage, flawless, long-wearing and sweat-proof. I just like to dot a little bit of each all over my face, before blending out with a damp beautyblender.
So once my foundation is done i actually like to move on to my eyes before doing anymore face makeup, starting with filling in my brows. For a couple of months now i have been loving using a mixture of these two products together, using the eyebrow powder duo at the front of the brow and the dipbrow pomade towards the end/arch of the brow and i use the shade dark brown in both of the products. Then before moving on-to eyeshadow i will clean my brows up/prime my eyes using a little bit of concealer and setting powder.
Moving onto the eyeshadow and this step is super super quick, as i literally use one shade from this palette and that is the shade called deserted, it is the perfect transition/crease/all over lid brown shade and it only takes one fluffy blending brush to do it all and then i will also apply some on my lower lash-line.
Next up i like to go in with mascara once i have curled my lashes, i recently did a first impression/review on this mascara which you can catch up on here. This mascara is amazing and gives a voluminous false-lash effect in an instant, without need for spending time on apply falsies.
So once i have done my top lashes i like to go in with concealer and powder before finishing off my lower lashes, you will not be shocked to see this concealer as it is my favourite go-to mascara and it never lets me down. I just apply this in a triangle shape under my eyes, down the bridge of my nose, chin and centre of my forehead before blending out with my beautyblender.
As i mentioned above, after applying concealer i like to go in and just set the areas where i applied the concealer, to set that in place. Towards the end of last month i did a post dedicated to my all time favourite setting powders, which you can catch this particular powder featured in here.
Moving back on-to the eyes and this time with an eyeliner pencil in the waterline, i always tend to opt for a brown this this sort of look as it is a lot softer and more natural looking. This particular one from urban decay is favourite, along side the master drama the nudes one from maybelline. Once that is applied all that is left to do is go back in with some mascara on my lower lashes.
Highlighter is something i switch up the most, as it is no secret it is my favourite thing ever but when i am wearing this specific look there is just something about this highlighter that is simply beautiful, with its golden glow. I love love love applying my highlighter recently using the freedom ff103 brush it just picks up an even amount of product, allowing you to glow to out of space.
Last of all for the powder/face products is bronzer, i love to contour/bronze at the same time as i just find it a lot quicker to do and you can do that beautifully with this bronzer. I also find that if you apply this after your highlighter, it just allows the two products to fuse/tie together better and doesn't look as harsh. Once that is done i go in with my brow gel through my brows, because this just allows you to brush away any powder that might have fell into your brows during application.
The final step in this makeup look is lips and i always start off by lining my lips, usually with this particular pencil from mac as it is my go-to favourite and it goes with any other nude lip product applied on top, which is such a bonus. My favourite thing about this lip liner besides the shade is the formula, as it is super creamy yet easy to work with and long-lasting.
Once i have applied lip liner i like to go in with my lip product of choice and recently i have really been loving going back to basics, by using a bullet lipstick rather than a liquid lipstick. I mentioned a favourite at the moment is mac's peachstock in my july beauty favourites but i have also really been loving the rimmel kate moss lipstick in the shade 40 from her nudes collection.
