All Nighter Liquid Foundation provides full coverage with a modern matte finish that never looks overdone. It’s a long-lasting wear. Perfect for night.

Diorskin Forever Fluid Foundation gives the opportunity to find the ideal match to enhance the skin tone with stunning perfection.

Revlon sculpt and highlight contour skin kit 

This is honestly is the best contour palette I have used! This kit have really high quality. Not only sculpt and highlight where applied, it will also help blur imperfections.

Avon True Nutra Effects Hydration Gel Night Cream

I use this at night after cleansing my skin. It hydrates and moisturises really well without leaving my face an oily shiny mess!!

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder 

This powder controls the shine and helps minimise the appearance of pores.  I absolutely love this product!!!

Maybelline Age Rewind Eye Concealer 

This concealer is my favourite for long time I really love using it. Its coloured pigments perfect the under eye area covering flawlessly.

Maybelline Face Superstay 24H Primer

The ultra-smoothing formula instantly evens the appearance of the skin’s surface for the most perfect finish and controls shine to keep makeup fresh & flawless all day long.

I love lipsticks and I have been using a lot the lipstick from Mac matte in shade whirl and from Avon Mark liquid Lacquer shine in shade caffeine.  Both are completed different but I love them and I can use it during the day or night.

Eyeshadow I have been using almost everyday, Miss Rose palette, I love the colours. This palette is great for fall.

Foundation is my favourite since ever- Estee Lauder Double Wear, special for the days I need a full coverage it feels lightweight and so comfortable, you won’t believe it’s super long wear.

Concealer is an essential part of my makeup routine, Mac pro longwear provides a full matte coverage, gives a smoother flawless looking finish on skin.

Bronzer – I have been using Elizabeth Arden and I love it. it last forever! blends well and makes my skin look flawlessly blended ….   It is a great bronzer !
