Its only recently that I've noticed how I change my makeup with the seasons. In the Autumn/Winter months I love a red lip, sheer red balm for day and a dark matte red in the evenings. I tend to wear heavier, more grungy eye makeup and in general I just slap a hell of a lot more stuff on my face.
In Spring/Summer the first thing I change is my foundation and I switch to something a lot lighter. My eye makeup also becomes lighter and I opt for more shimmery colours. My lip colour switches from reds to more girly pinks and nudes. Its just funny how you don't realise you are gradually making all these little changes.
Face
Foundation
Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet Foundation in B30
I love this foundation and in some ways think I do prefer it to my beloved Vitalumiere Aqua. I like to wear this in the evenings, as although it feels really light on the skin, it actually has quite a good medium coverage.
Concealer
Estee Lauder Double Wear Brush on Glow BB Highlighter in 2W
I really am starting to get paranoid about my dark under eye circles! If you have any good under eye concealer recommendations let me know!
Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage in SC3
Industrial strength concealer for spots and redness.
Bronzer
Chanel Moisturising Bronzing Powder in 62 Terre Epice
I haven't been loving this lately, its just a bit too dark and a bit too orange toned for my pale skin right now. The bronzer from the MAC Alluring Aquatic collection on the other hand, beautiful and natural looking.
Highlighter
Kevyn Aucoin Celestial Powder in Candlelight
Will I ever get bored of this? Nope!
Eyes
Eyebrows
Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil in Soft Brunette and Illamasqua Brow and Lash Gel
Another combination I will never tire of.
Eyeshadow
Estee Lauder Pure Colour Stay on Shadow Paint in Pink Zinc
I'm unsure about these cream eyeshadows by Estee Lauder. I love the colour of Pink Zinc, but I'm not a fan of the mousse like consistency and find it takes a bit of work to get the colour even. I wouldn't buy any more of these, but its a pretty shade to slap on when you are in a hurry.
Eyeliner
Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner
I went to town and did a teeny tiny winged eyeliner, go me! I do love this Stila eyeliner for its fine nib but I think it might be a little too fine, as the tip of mine is already breaking down and going all fuzzy :(
Mascara
MAC Opulash Mascara
Still loving this at the moment, mainly for its amazing lasting power and zero smudginess!
Lips
Lip Crayon
Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon in On the Beach
I haven't worn this since last year and forgot what a pretty light pink/coral shade it was. These lip crayons by Bourjois feel really nice on the lips and leave a slightly glossy finish, without feeling sticky. They are currently on offer in Boots at the moment for £6.99 and I highly recommend checking these out instore.
