I have rediscovered a lot of my old favourite products this month and have really been enjoying switching up my makeup on a daily basis. Going from a very conservative, corporate company to the Cosmopolitan offices has been a dream come true, not only for me but also for my makeup collection.
Base
Foundation
Giorgio Armani Lasting Silk UV Foundation
I have been loving this foundation. It lasts all day on my skin without feeling or looking heavy, its just flawless skin in a bottle. If you have oilier skin, this will work much better for you than Luminous Silk.
Concealer
Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage
Lets not talk makeup expiry dates but I have had this concealer for years and finally finished it today! Is there anything more satisfying than finishing an item of makeup? This concealer is holy grail stuff for me, its industrial strength and will cover anything. I'm going to miss it but I have other concealers which I should use before repurchasing this....
Bronzer
The Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder
Pretty much the only item I have tried from The Body Shop's makeup range and I am seriously impressed. If you have pale skin you should check out their shade range as they go pretty light. If I had to compare this to a Guerlain bronzer, which is three times the price I couldn't spot the difference.
Blush
Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow and Mood Boosting Blush in Natural
And the award for longest blusher name goes to.....
I can't comment on the mood boosting but this is a very pretty colour with shimmer, which acts as a blush and highlight in one.
Eyes
Eyeshadow Primer
NARS Pro Prime Smudge proof Eyeshadow Base
My favourite eyeshadow primer.
Eyeshadow
Charlotte Tilbury The Vintage Vamp Colour Coded Eyeshadow Palette
I hardly touched this eyeshadow palette in the Summer but now we are back in the colder months I have been reaching for it a lot. These Charlotte Tilbury palettes are expensive but the quality and shades are beautiful, definitely worth the splurge. I would describe The Vintage Vamp palette as wearable purples and the shades are so easy to transition from day to night.
Eyeliner
Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner
I can vouch for this lasting all day and the fine nib allows you to draw a really precise line, one of the best liquid eyeliners I have tried.
Mascara
Tarte Lights Camera Flashes Mascara and Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara
Still absolutely loving this mascara combo, on my second tube of Lights, Camera, Flashes now!
Lips
Lipstick
Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie
My Revlon Lip Butter obsession has died down in recent years but whenever I use one again I'm reminded of why my obsession began. Berry Smoothie is a really pretty pink, its also really glossy and looks more like a gloss than a lipstick.
