Over the years you try out many products until you find that one you just can't do without. I've been wearing make-up for a good few years now and in that time it's safe to say i have tried a whole bunch of make-up products, some being absolute pants, but many of which I love! For me I have never had the money to splurge ouT on high end make-up so its always been high street brands bar a few clinique splurges! I'd like to also say that the price doesn't always mean quality! Different brands have different strengths and weaknesses. This is why I'm here to tell you my faves!
Starting with my most important beauty products - mascara and foundation!
These are definitely two of my mOst bought products and my favourites are both from L'Oreal Paris.
My eyelashes are rather short and straight so a good mascara is essential for me. There are a few mascaras which I love but for quality and affordability my go-to mascara is the L'Oreal Paris Cosmetics Telescopic False Lash Effect Mascara. Although I'm often put off by plastic applicators this one, for me, is an exception. It's shape makes it nice and easy to use and most importantly gives my lashes length and curl.
My second most important and well bought product is foundation. The foundation I currently use and have repurchased for the last couple years is the L'Oreal Paris Lumi Magique. I find its formula is very silky and not thick, rubs in well and gives me good coverage. Since I've found this foundation I've never looked back. Top marks L'Oreal.
As for eyeliner, my favourite type of eyeliner to use is gel eyeliner. I absolutely LOVE the Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner. Although it comes with a brush, the brush that I have found works well is the fine liner brush from Real Techniques. Might I mention I love this brand of brushes! The formula glides on the eye well and is highly pigmented making it easy to achieve your desired look. It also lasts a long time despite looking like such a small pot!
Pencil eyeliner was in school a must have, everyone wore it the same way and you could not go to school without it, for this reason I managed to purchase a fair few! I tried many and I've got to say, a lot on the market I found no good. I ended up purchasing a mac liner which was great but very pricey so I was always hunting for a cheaper alternative and voila here it is., the Topshop coal eye-liner A steal at only £4, it's very soft and lasts well.
I have not long been a particular eye-shadow wearer HOWEVER when at duty free earlier this year I picked up the popular urban decay naked 2 palette. You may think its maybe a little pricey but let me tell you, it's well worth the money. It contains a lovely range of highly pigmented colours perfect for everyday make-up to night out make up. I also use it for my eyebrows and the brush that comes with it works great (however I don't own any expensive brushes so some may not agree). Anyway I absolutely love this product and had to mention it because it is no doubt one of my most used products now and has led me on to give eye-shadow a go, so cheers urban decay!
Hope you love these products as much as I do!
