Favourite foundation !

NYX PROFESSIONAL Can’t Stop Won’t Stop 24 Hour Foundation with full coverage,Lightweight, waterproof and as pigmented as possible, this is one of my favourite foundation of the moment! It comes in 45 flattering, versatile tones and won’t transfer – very creamy, glides on smoothly, delivering matte coverage that stays true for up to 24 hours.

This foundation is great. It has drugstore pricing but high end features. This creamy full coverage foundation leaves you with a natural matte finish. For dry skin, works better moisturising before.

Completely recommend xx

Very easy and creamy application, I really love this lipstick . Definitely I will pickup this in some other shades .

MY CURRENT EVERYDAY MAKEUP ROUTINE

Hi everyone, welcome back

Often I change up my everyday make up routine depending on my skin. Currently though I’ve listed the products below I have using everyday for the last weeks….

First things first I apply primer Maybelline super stay  on my face, this primer is great, gives a fresh makeup look all day.

Next I apply the Max factor Healthy skin Harmony Foundation this foundation leaves a very smooth skin and it last forever.

Then I like to apply Maybelline fit me concealer with Real techniques beauty blender …

Next is my favourite part! contour! bronzer! , I’m in love with the Makeup Revolution Pro HD Powder Contour this contains 8 contour and highlight powders. This pallet is pretty easy to work with … I can do contour, bronzer and highlight, It’s fab….

I also use for highlight the Bronzer bronzing brick, this gives a beautiful glossy finish.

For Setting Powder I use the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder to set my foundation in place. I usually concentrate mostly on my T-zone where I am more likely to get more shine throughout the day.

Then for eyes I use Stila eyeshadow palette I have to say I use this pallet for long long time, and I really like it …

For mascara I received a sample of the Benefit Badgal Bang volumising mascara  and I really like it. It not only makes my lashes look thick, it gives a great amount of length and volume.

Finally onto lips, , I use my favourite mac lipstick of the moment in shade Mocha, for line my lips I like to use the NYX swede matte lip liner … I also have been using the lipstick from Primark Nudes Matte and I’m impressed with it.

So there you have it my current everyday makeup routine, let me know if you use any of the products I have listed or have any products you’d like to recommend to me. I love trying out new makeup.
