Make Up Essentials

As promised I will be writing blog posts more frequently.
I thought I would go through my make up essentials.
For lips I think that the Max Factor lipstick is the best lipstick around. It stays on for ages and are in a wide range of colours for all tastes. I have my two favourites here, I wear Ruby Tuesday (715) (the red one) to go out and the Raisin (894) for casual everyday use, as it looks more natural but with a bit of shimmer.

For eyes I always start with my number 7 eyelash curlers, they are the best eyelid curlers out there. I always use eyelash curlers because they make your final eyelashes more substantial. Then I use liquid eyeliner, my two favourites are Maybelline Liner Defined liquid eyeliner and Rimmel exaggerate eyeliner. These two are the best liquid liners I have found as they go on smoothly and are easy to control to get the perfect line. I then use Maybelline colossal volum' express mascara, I have found that this mascara gives the biggest curl and volume.

 

For my face I only use concealer because my skin doesn't particularly need foundation and I find that foundation looks too heavy on me. But if you want a good foundation I recommend Rimmel Wake Me Up, as it is known to be one of the best. The concealed that I use is 17 Stay Time concealer in medium, I find that this is the lightest concealer and covers under eye circles and spots thoroughly, it also stays on all day.

 

For blush I use Bourjous blush in Rose Frisson 54, I find that it gives enough blush effect without being too over the top and it stays on for ages. You don't need to use very much to get the desired effect so it lasts quite a long time so is worth its price which is slightly pricey.
