So first things first is primer and if you have read my posts for a while, then you will already know i find that facial oils/primer oils work best for my skin personally and creates the perfect base for any other product applied on top. I have been using this particular one from MUA for a good amount of this year already, pretty much every single day so i would say that i like this product. It gives me the perfect base for makeup as i mentioned, it is super hydrating and it is a bargain product costing just £4.
After primer comes foundation and i am back to reaching for my all time favourite foundation on an everyday basis, i honestly think this foundation will take some topping for me. I just love how it applies, the colour shade 220 is perfect for me, it wears so well and still looks pretty much the same towards the end of the day. I personally always like to apply my foundation by dotting some product all over my face before going in to blend it out, using a damp beauty blender/sponge. Doing this just gives it a much more natural and flawless finish.
So when it comes to higher end makeup we all definitely have our favourites and bareMinerals products are up there for me, as i just find they work so well for me. This particular powder duo is a go-to for me, as it is super light/non cake-y once applied and it is super handy that is is a duo product. This particular powder has two different finishes, one side matte and the other glow, which allows you to either use the products separately or both together. I personally like to use the glow side of the compact in the centre of the face and then the matte side of the compact everywhere else, to keep my makeup in place.
For brows i was using the Revolution Pro Precision brow pencil but i recently decided to switch things up and go back in with using my trust Dipbrow from ABH, which is another product i have loved for years now that gives you all weather proof brows. Along side this a product that i haven't switched up in well over a year, as i just keep buying the same one is the Pro Longwear brow gel by MAC and this product just keeps everything in place.
So for eyes i like to keep things super natural and simple of everyday, as it is super quick and natural looking. This Dose of Colors Baked Browns eyeshadow palette is definitely my favourite eyeshadow palette in my collection and i use it pretty much every single day, especially the shade Outdoorsy which is the most beautiful warm peachy brown shade. For everyday makeup i just apply this particular shade, blend it out and then apply some mascara to my top lashes. I really like this particular MUA mascara and i have done for some time now, it separates, lengthens and gives volume to your lashes all in one.
For highlighter at the moment i am back using for an old favourite of mine, which of course is the ever so famous Oh Darling shade. When it comes to highlight for me i definitely prefer a golden/bronze toned highlighter, as they just suit me better over something more pink toned. What i love about the Extra Dimension Skinfinishes from MAC is not only how pigmented and stunning they are, but also how finely milled/light-weight the formulas of the different shades are.
The final step for the face/base makeup is bronzer, which for me i love how it just warms up the face and gives some dimension to the face also. For the past month or so i have switched up what i have been using, swapping the higher end bronzer for a drugstore alternative. This particular bronzer is in the shade Long Weekend by Revolution, which not only warms the face up but also gives it a subtle "beach-like glow" at the same time making it the perfect product for the summer months.
Finally we move on to lips, which of course is a nude lip combination. I have really been loving a glossy nude lip for this spring/summer, which has been one of two different combinations. This particular nude lip is a trio of the Oak lip liner pencil by MAC, Yash matte lipstick also by MAC and the Gen Nude Far Out lip gloss by bareMinerals. These three particular products all together create the perfect beige-nude lip with a hint of pink.
