I thought I would share with you some of my most reached for products. These are the foolproof things I grab when I want to use something that I know will look good.
Nars Sheer Glow Foundation is probably my favourite for a good base. It has medium coverage, leaves a dewy glow to my skin which is a must for me, and is a really good colour match for my skintone. My only complaint is that it isn't exactly the cheapest of products to buy. For day to day, or when I want something lighter on my skin, I go for Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue. This is new to my collection but very quickly became something I gravitated towards over others. It gives jsut enough coverage for everyday, with a nice healthy glow to the skin. It also is great mixed in with other foundations to give more of a dewy look to the skin. Basically, I'm in love with this stuff.
I'm definitely a blush lover but there are two I tend to use most days out of the week. Mac Blush All Day is an all time fav and lately is basically all I've been using. Its a great pinky mauve shade that looks great with anything. Nars Sin is another one I use quite a bit when I want something that I know looks good. This one is definitely different from other blushes I have as its more of a plum mauve shade with a little gold shimmer through it. I tend to use it more in the colder months though it does look great anytime of year.
Highlighter are a newer thing for me. I have a few but nothing is quite like the Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Powder in 01. I think what makes it my perfect highlighter is the fact that it isnt too in your face like most highlighters are. Its mmore subtle on the skin, but gives a nice glow to my skin while looking quite natural still. Or as natural as a highlighter could look anyway.
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer is another newer favourite of mine. I had bought a mini size of this a few months back and wasn't instantly in love. I expressed this in a blogpost where my initial thoughts were that it was too dry under my eyes, but after a few uses my opinion completely changed and I used up that mini tube faster than I could have expected and needed to get my hands on a full size. Of course it wasnt available for sometime and no other concealer looked quite as bright or covered as well as the Nars one. Luckily its back in my life and I havent wanted to use anything else since.
Ive really been into lining my lips lately and Mac Dervish Lipliner is my go to. I use it almost everyday, as it goes my most lip colous and looks great alone all over the lips. Its a pinky mauve shade close to my natural lip colour, which is perfect to keep in my bag with me. I've also been loving the L'Oreal Brow Stylist Definer pencil for filling in the few sparse areas in my brows. I love this pencil because its retractable, so its always sharp, and it has a fine tip for easy application. Plus the spoolie on the end is really nice and handy to keep the hairs upward.
