My make up kit essentials!

Primer
This is a must have! I am so in love with this product and use it all the time! It is by PIXI and is called 'flawless beauty primer', £20. I got mine in Boots, southampton. It glides on the skin effortlessly. It neutralises and smoothes the skin giving you a perfect base to apply your foundation! The bonus is it contains powerful anti ageing ingredients and other vitamins and minerals which are great for maintaining healthy skin!

Foundation
This is my favourite foundation at the moment! It is called 'photo ready' foundation and is by Revlon. Mine is in caramel but comes in a variety of different shades. It is totally blendable and gives great coverage. It is £9.99 and mine is from superdrug. The great thing with this foundation is it leaves the skin with a sheer finish and gives you totally airbrushed looking skin!

Concealer

This is my new purchase and it is totally brilliant! It is by Jillian Dempsey and is a corrector palette, £6 from avon! It has 4 shades which suit a range of skin problems. The lilac colour, top left is to help brighten dull looking skin. The pink shade, top right is to hide imperfections such as blemishes etc. The apricot colour, bottom left gives warmth to areas such as cheek and brow bones and the yellow, bottom right counteracts any redness that may be caused by rosacea etc. Great palette to own as it does numerous jobs and is all compact in one item!

Blusher

I use this blusher in 'candy shop' by beauty uk. What a gorgeous name and colour! It suits everyones skintone! I have used it on my asian skintone to paler skintones and it just looks soo beautiful on everybody. It really brings a sheer pinky tint to the skin whilst highlighting at the same time! Trust me it looks soo pretty!

Eyeliner

This is the best product i have ever picked up! I was in manchester and i think it was a savers shop i was in  at the time when i spotted this!I got this gel liner for about £3. I have never looked back since! It comes with a little brush which you just load up with product and it is so so easy to just 'paint the line'!! Appropriate name eh!?!! I love it more than the liquid liners you get because you can be so precise and get an even line everytime!!

Eyebrow pencil
I currently switch betwen my eyebrow box by urban decay and this eyebrow pencil by rimmel! I buy mine in dark brown but it comes in hazel and black also! I love the little brush it comes with on the lid so you can groom your eyebrows into a perfect shape before filling in any gaps! I think mine was from superdrug for about £3.99!...dont quote me on that though! It is highly pigmented and lasts a long long time! Brilliant for a touch of grooming on the go!!!

Highlighter
This is a highlighter by urban decay called sin! It is a gorgeous creamy consistency and is just so perfect for brightening up the face! I dab a little on my brow and cheek bones and down the bridge of my nose! Also i will just dab a little in the middle of my lip for a chic pout! It works wonders and just illuminates the skin! It is £18...a small price to pay for a best friend..heheheh!!

Lipgloss
This 3D lipgloss range by Boujoirs, £6.99 each is fantastic! I have a small collection of these as they are so fab! They moisturise your lips for up to 8 hours and give you the most amazing pout ever!  My favourites are the nude colours from the 'les nudes' range. In particular i slather on the no.33 beige!


So there was a peek into some of what i call essential make up products which i literally cannot live without now!! I love trying out new brands and new products but these are the things i cant get enough of!!!
