What's in my make up bag?

| My everyday make up products (see links to buy below) |
My daily make
up bag products are pretty simple. I use the same products each day to complete
my daily make look. Early morning starts require me to quickly apply my make up
and by using the same routine I can do this. Don’t get me wrong when I am going
out somewhere special or to an event I love to use other products and try new
looks, but today I will be talking about everything in my current daily make up
bag.
Rimmel Stay
Matte Foundation (Ivory 100) – I have used this foundation for a couple of
years now and I really like it. As I have oily skin this foundation is perfect
as it is a liquid mousse and leaves a matte finish. I have tried many
foundations in the past and I have found that the liquid versions usually come
off quickly after application on my skin, but this foundation really lasts all
day. It’s reasonably priced and is perfect for everyday use. I use the Real
Techniques Expert Face Brush to apply my foundation as it gives an even
coverage and helps to blend in the product rather than using your hands.
No7 Eyeshadow
(Matte Mocha) – Although this is an eyeshadow I use this product to fill in my
eyebrows. I have tried using eyebrow pencils in the past and I found that they
were either never exactly matched to my eyebrow colour or I just made a mess of
my eyebrows using them by filling them in wrong. This eyeshadow matches my
eyebrow colour perfectly and is really easy to apply. I apply this with a
Revlon Angled Brow Brush, which is fantastic at helping me fill in and get the
perfect shape.
Liz Earle
Mascara (Black) – I have recently started using this mascara and I honestly can
say it is brilliant. Before this I was using a waterproof mascara from a
premium make up brand and it used to run down below my eyes and create a mess.
Although the Liz Earle mascara is not waterproof it is smudge-proof and it does not run at all. It lasts
all day and makes my lashes look longer (which is what we all truly want)!
Rimmel Pencil
Eyeliner (Black) – This product has been in my make up bag for what seems
forever! I use it everyday and sharpen it regularly and I am now down to the
smallest part left (as you can see in the picture)! I use it in my waterline everyday and I find that if you
apply it once and then re-apply it again 10 minutes or so later it then lasts all
day.
Benefit Boi-ing
Concealer (shade 02) – This product is amazing! I have used it for about 3
years now and I would not take it out of my make up bag. Originally I purchased
this to try to hide my freckles, as personally I hate them to be seen! It is
fantastic for covering up blemishes and my freckles and I also use this
everyday under my eyes to conceal.
Rimmel Stay
Matte Pressed Powder (01 Transparent) – As well as the Stay Matte Foundation I
also love this powder. I apply it all over my face and neck after doing my eyes
once my foundation is set to help prevent my make up sliding off during the
day. I use the colour 01 transparent purely because I have added my colour with my foundation and only use this to keep my make up longer, however this powder does come in various shades to add further colour if needed. I use the Ecotools Bamboo Powder Brush to apply this and I pat this powder onto
my skin instead of brushing it on as I find that this also helps to keep my
make up on.
Bourjois Little
Round Blusher Pot (16 Rose Coup de Foudre) – I have had this blusher in my make
up bag for a couple of years. I love the colour and it is really subtle on your
cheeks. There is a mirror in the pot lid that is useful if you are out and it
is easy to apply with a brush. I use the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush to
push this product onto the apples of my cheeks, which again helps not to pull
my make up off.
MAC Cremesheen
Lipstick (Sunny Seoul) – This is my favourite product in my make up bag. I absolutely
love the colour of this lipstick and the finish it leaves. It is easy to apply
and lasts me ages, which is a bonus money wise. In terms of coming off throughout the day,
it is pretty difficult to remove this from your lips (which is also a bonus) and it also it
does not bleed.
I keep my daily
make up products in my Cath Kidston make up bag. This was a present from
someone and it is a brilliant size and easy to carry around. It also came with
a small mirror, which is really useful if you need to re-apply throughout the
day.
I hope this has
given you an insight into the products that I use daily. Let me know in the
comments any products you love – it’s always nice to discover new products! Please follow me and subscribe to my emails if you wish to and thanks again for reading.
