Top 5 affordable make up products

Hey guys, I hope you're all well. I will be talking about a few of my favourite make up products and why I like them. I hope you enjoy this post.

Loreal True Match Foundation:

I first tried this product about a year ago and I have loved it ever since. I use the shade 1.N which matches my skin beautifully. I really like the finish of this foundation as it stays quite dewy on my dry skin but doesn't look oily. The coverage is medium but can be built up to full coverage, it layers beautifully and doesn't look cakey on the skin. I find that this lasts fairly well on my skin and my other products last well on top of it. Also this is very affordable which is just the cherry on the cake for me.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer:

I have been using this product for years I know that this is a well loved product which is totally understandable given the high quality product at such a low price point. The coverage of this concealer is amazing, it blends beautifully and works brilliant for under eyes and over blemishes. I have found that with other concealers at this price point either the coverage isn't enough or the formula dries down too quickly for it to blend into the skin well. I also love that this range goes pale enough for my fair skin tone, I don't think that the ranges goes dark enough for someone of colour, but for medium and lighter skin tones it works very well. (I really hope that the drugstore and highstreet brands get their arse's in gear and get some darker shades out there).

Miss Sporty Eyeliner Pencil:

I think this was the second eyeliner pencil I ever bought and I still love it to this day. It is such a good product for the price, this is so affordable. It is super soft and creamy and very comfortable to apply and the pigmentation is beautiful, it is super black which I love. It lasts fairly well in the water line but I do have to touch up after 4-5 hours. My only problem with this product is that it does smudge and transfer a little bit, but when I set it with a small amount of eye shadow there is not issue at all.

Makeup Revolution Golden Sugar Palette:

I absolutely LOVE this palette. All but maybe 2 of the colours in the palette I think are amazing, easily some of the best highlighters I have used. There are also some beautiful blush topper colours of which are beautiful on their own or over blush. These are not chunky or super glittery but they are high shine and shimmery and magical...I love them. They work beautifully on the skin or as eye shadows, you can foil them using a bit of setting spray to dampen your brush. They can be used subtly or you can get a really strong pay off. Brilliant texture, pigmentation and price.

Top Shop Cheek Jelly:

I know this is a cheek product but I really like to use it on the lips. It give a really natural moisturising stain that looks and feels lovely. I do also like it on the cheeks but I much prefer it as a lip product. It is a really smooth gel texture that isn't greasy or oily but still feels really hydrating. The pigmentation is pretty good but it can still be built up for a bolder colour. I really like this product and I'm surprised I never hear about it.

I would highly recommend all of these products. I really hope you enjoyed this post, I know its quite a short one but I wanted to make sure I got something up for you guys. I have Some really cool blogs and reviews on the way so stay tuned. Love you all.

My everyday summer makeup

Hey guys I hope you're all well. This post will be about my every day makeup routine, what I use and how I use it. My plan is to lay this post out like a recipe... A face recipe. I can't tell you why but this thought amused me greatly. I hope you enjoy this. If you have any make up looks in particular you would like me write a post about please let me know I would love to create the content you guys want.

Ingredients (aka products):
Primer- NYX Angel veil
Foundation- L'Oréal true match 1.N
Setting powder- baby powder (seriously)
Concealer- collection lasting perfection fair
Blush, bronze, highlight- collection #blushandglow pallette
Brow gel- MUA brow define dark brown
Mascara- Too faced better than sex
Lipgloss- collection lock and hold
Lipstick- collection velvet kiss

Method:

1. To begin with I apply the primer with my fingers to the T zone. I smooth this over the skin then pat it in to maximise the pore filling effect.

2. I then apply a light layer of powder. This method I first heard about by Wayne Goss on his YouTube channel. I will have a link at the end to his video talking about this.

3. Next up is foundation, I apply a light layer all over, blending it using the real techniques miracle completion sponge.

4. Then I apply concealer under my eyes, around my nose and on my chin. I will also Spot conceal any blemishes I may have. I will then lightly set where I have applied concealer with powder using the real techniques setting brush.

5. Next up is my blusher and bronzer. I will lightly bronze around my forehead, temples, back of the cheekbones and the bridge of my nose. I then apply blush to the apples of my cheeks and blend it into my bronzer. To do all of this I use the real techniques multi task brush.

6. Then I light brush through my brows with a spooly and then light brush through with the brow gel.

7. Then taking a fluffy blending brush I will dip into the lighter blush, shade and blend that through the crease and outer portion of the lid. I will also blend some of the bronzer though the crease and lower lash line to add some depth to my eyes.

8. Now it's time for highlight, everyone's favourite part of the day. I apply the highlight using the real techniques setting brush. I apply it to the tops of the cheek bones, brow bone, bridge of the nose, inner corners of the eyes (sweeping it lightly across the lid aswell) and my cupids bow. Then whatever is left I will light sweep over the center of my for head and my chin.

9. I then curl my lashes using a pound land eyelash curler and apply 2-3 layers of mascara to my top lashes and 1 layer on the bottom lashes.

10. Last but not least I apply a light layer of the liquid lipstick, wait for it to dry down, then go over top with the lip gloss.

I will sometimes use a setting spray or a mist to finish with, but I don't have any that I am using currently so I don't have any products to mention.

And that is my everyday summer look. I hope you have enjoyed this. Any questions on the products or my application please feel free to ask them in the comments. Let me know if you have any suggestions for future content. Thank you so much.
