MAKEUP MUST HAVES

Biggest apologies for not doing any blog posts for a while. I've had a crazy couple of months with one thing or another. I've had so many questions about my make up products over Instagram and my snapchat so finally I'm really excited to share them all with you.

  Firstly I'm going to start with my face makeup, I stick to the same foundation and concealer because it suits my skin and I've had no problems with them. Most of the products I use are from MAC cosmetics. I use studio fix fluid foundation in colours NC37 NC40 or NC42 depending on my current tan situation lol. I pair it up with prolongwear liquid concealer in colour NC20 I feel these products really work well together giving me a matte finish which is how I like to look, I'm not one for dewy skin. Occasionally I will add a bit of prep&prime highlighting pen either over the top of my concealer or underneath, this just a sheer wash of colour used as a highlight or underneath to brighten areas of the face. Of course I use my beloved beauty blender to blend in my concealer I have no idea what I would do without it.


To contour I am currently using Anastasia Beverly Hills powder pallet in medium-tan. Little product goes a long way with this palette. I wouldn't have chosen a powder palette to contour with however I had it brought as a present and I've really took to it.

 

Highlighting is a biggy for me I use many different highlighters as I can never stick to one. Vanilla pigment from MAC is amazing although it can congregate in one area if it is not applied evenly. 10k highlight which is also in the Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit is a golden warm tone and very suttle. Other highlighting recommendations are, Urban Decay Naked Illuminated in colour luminous, MAC Soft&Gentle and MAC Global Glow.




The famous winged eyeliner personally I feel this is one of the hardest things in make up to master. MAC fluid line in blacktrack is my favourite liner, I highly recommend it if your able to use it quickly. Maybeline do a gel eyeliner which is of the same consistency. 
 
Hello nude lips... I'm a sucker for nude lips you will not see me in any other colour I just feel odd and out of place if my lips aren't nude. MAC Boldly Bare and Dervish lip liner are the only ones I use. There is literally a shade difference between them. I pair them up with either Honey Love matte lipstick, or Hue satin lipstick. I don't have a preferred favourite which ever one I pick out my make up bag first is what I use. I then apply a Lipglass in Paper Lanter, or Boundlessly Beige all MAC.
 


For Blush I use a mineralize one from MAC called warm soul, its so sparkly and applies onto the skin so smoothly. Occasionally I add a tiny bit of Melon pigment MAC onto the apples of my cheeks again to just make it extra sparkly. Personally a great combination if you don't go other the top.
 
 

  As for skin care, I do not have a strict skin regime. I think my parents passed down good skin genes lol! My pores are tiny and I rarely get spots. With skincare I feel its trial and error like everything I suppose just about finding products that really suit your skin. I use two clean&clear products a blackhead scrub and dual action oil free moisturiser. They just really compliment my skin, my face feels fresh and revitalised after using them.

Lashes -141 eyelure I haven't found any which are as nice as these! My lashes are extra long so as far as mascara is concerned I just use a high street one any one I am drawn to really mainly go for loreal ones.
 
I've tried to cover all the questions I've recently been asked, if you have any please comment below or send to my snapchat ellesutton I am always happy to help
Thankyou Elle x

  4. Albeit modest and quality items are delivered by the vast majority of the brands, it has gotten conceivable to escape from the principles and guidelines of the FDA Pr list
