My All Time Fav's.

I thought i would do a quick entry so you can all get an idea about my make up style. Here are my all time favourite beauty products and why. Enjoy!

Primer: Napoleon Perdis - Auto Pilot Pre Foundation Primer. I truly believe this man when he says "not to prime is a crime". This product has the perfect blend of silicone and moisturizing properties that you need in a primer. It glides on with ease, acts as a perfect new layer of skin and makes your make up last all day. Truly a must have product!

Foundation: Estee Lauder Double Wear / Double Wear Light or Revlon colourstay. A few months ago i went on the search for the perfect foundation, and it turns out i already had it, well had them i should say I searched far and wide on the cosmetics floor and i found them! Double wear  light is perfect for the day time, light natural coverage that STAYS PUT! And for night time / events the regular double wear, or Revlon Colorstay, i find these foundations very similar in texture/durability. It just depends on how tanned i am as to which brand i use.

Powder: Mac Studio Fix. Even though this isn't advertised as long wear it seriously stays put. It is perfect with a light dusting to set your foundation or as used as a powder foundation, its amazingly buildable and can be worn light or full coverage.This comes EVERYWHERE with me!

Bronzer: Christian Dior Healthy Glow Bronze in #3. I have a slight obsession with being tanned (in a healthy way, slip slop slap kids!) but i always used to find that if you used too much, most bronzers will make you look red. This Dior bronzer is the perfect golden tone for most fair to medium skin colours and will save you from looking like you are sunburnt!

Blush: YSL blush duo in #17. I am not a big fan of overly blushed cheeks, i find some people end up looking like a clown. This is my perfect nude blush, it is a soft pinky brown colour while matte sections and 2 shimmer sections to give you the perfect blend.


Mascara: Maybelline Falsies  / L'oreal Voluminous. Mascara is my ultimate beauty product. If i had to have one beauty product on an Island with me it would be mascara, hands down! Unfortunately you can't buy L'oreal Voluminous in Australia which sucks, luckily Maybelline's Falsies has an amazing spoon brush which gives extra curl to your lash, the bendy wand also helps  reach every single eye lash, and as the title entails, it gives you amazing volume and length for that false lash glam.


Eyeshadow: MAC. Colours differ all the time but these eyeshadows are amazing, they are pigment rich and easy to blend! Special mention to Napoleon Perdis in this category, i just don't think they have the colour range MAC do!



Of course all of these products are suited to what i look for in a particular beauty product, but after many years of research these are the best i have found, and amazing they are!

Stay Glamorous xx
