What better way to get to know me on a beauty blog than through my makeup? I
thought I would show you a few of my absolute favourite make up products. So
here we go!
What better place to start than foundation. I have currently
become obsessed with foundations because it creates a blank canvas and the
setting for your amazing creation. Like 98.99% of beauty gurus, Revlon
Colorstay is a favourite of mine! It has great coverage and is
buildable...perfect for those days when your skin just refuses to co-operate. I
also have slightly sensitive skin but I have no problems and it is fragrant
free, which is a bonus. I love this foundation because it looks beautiful when
applied with your hands, a brush or beauty blender...what a crowd pleaser!
Next is face powder which for me is essential because I like
my makeup to last for the whole day. My powder of choice is Australis pressed
powder (sorry to all those who live outside of Australia!). It offers great
coverage and provides a fantastic matte finish, which I prefer.
The next thing you should know about me is that I love to
contour my face! Yes it is tricky to learn and you can be shown 482031 ways how
to contour on Youtube but please persevere. I believe that contouring is the
single most effective way of transforming your makeup look. I prefer a strong
contour so I like a darker powder so I love Benefit Hoola Contour Powder. It is
amazing and does not leave your face looking muddy like so many products out
there! It is a little more expensive but I have had mine for over 8 months and
it is still going strong...the little trooper!
Now on to blush. I absolutely love blush, I always have and always will.
I think this love stemmed out of it being the easier product to apply! My
favourite is MAC Dollymix because it gives my cheeks an amazing pink shimmery
glow and has an almost unbelievable staying power. It is a vibrant colour yet
it is not overpowering which means you won’t leave the house looking like you
don’t own a mirror.
When it came to choosing my favourite products for the other categories
it was not easy, but when it came to mascara there was no contest. The Jordana
Best Lash Extreme mascara is one of the best products I have ever tried. It is
comparable to Mabelline Falsies but better...can you believe! It makes your
lashes look long, luscious and voluminous. It is a jet black colour and stays
all day long. The best part about it is that is costs $2 on BeautyJoint! I can’t put how much I
love this product into words, so please for me, just try it.
Lastly we have arrived at lip products. Personally I prefer lipsticks
that look quite natural or have a pink colouring to them. This wasn’t too hard
to pick a winner in this category either as my holy grail lipstick is NYX
lipstick in India. It is an amazing bright pink colour which when swatched
doesn’t look to appealing but it is ever! I have quite a pale skin tone but for
reasons unknown to me, this lipstick makes my skin look tanned and works well
with my blonde hair. It is creamy, moisturizing and smells delicious!
So there we go, it is amazing how much you can learn about someone from
their makeup choices! If you have stuck around to the end then I thank you very
much! Please leave a comment telling me about some of your favourite products
so I can get to know you better :)
Stay Beautiful,
