Primers
Primers are a non-negotiable for me! Here are a few of my favs that will have your base looking amazing 🤩
Absolutely love this product! Leaves a beautiful radiant glow and has a lovely scent to it, nothing overpowering though. You can use it as a primer, mix it in with your foundation or wear it alone! We love a multipurpose products around here 🥰
You c...
BPerfect x Ekin-Su - Radiant Glow Skin Perfector
This makes my skin feel super hydrated! I love using this for a more natural everyday look, or even just to wear alone to give my skin a bit of life when I don’t feel like wearing makeup ☺️
Plump Right Back Face Primer Serum - NYX Cosmetics
I was late to the party with this one! Everyone loved it and it took me so long to try it, and I instantly loved it 😂 I really noticed a difference with my makeup application and longevity with this one, definitely a repurchase for me.
e.l.f. Power Grip Face Primer
Another one from NYX PMU ✨ I’ve tried a lot of primers from them and I genuinely like them all, the ones I’ve listed are ones I would reach for slightly more than others. This is very like Elf Power Grip but it’s not as tacky feeling, still holds mak...
Face Glue Gripping Makeup Primer - NYX Cosmetics
Foundations
My go to foundations! I find a more luminous, glowy foundation works with my skin type better. I would love your recommendations too, I love to try new products ✨
I would say this one is my favourite, I use the shade Oslo and the match is incredible, it leaves my skin looking flawless and doesn’t settle in my lines but it’s a little on the pricier side. I used this one on myself in a family photoshoot and it l...
Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation
This one ties in first place with Nars! A buildable coverage with a beautiful luminous finish. The price point is definitely more affordable in my opinion. I use the shade C1 and love the match.
Chroma Cover Luminous Foundation - BPerfect Cosmetics
I love a skin tint, especially for summer! It gives very light coverage but evens the skin out very nicely for a “no makeup makeup look”. I wear the shade TT2, I do love the match but feel I definitely need a bit of bronzer with it to give me more li...
Truth Tint - Sheer Skin Tint - Made By Mitchell
Another skin tint I enjoyed! I liked the coverage of this one, the formula is thicker than the Made by Mitchell one, and again a fantastic price. I can’t remember what shade I used but I definitely need to repurchase this for summer.

Bronzer/Contour
Bundled these two together as I find it so hard to get a proper contour shade! And sometimes a bronzer can be too warm for my skin tone, so here’s my pale girl favs ☺️
Love the formula of this cream bronzer, it blends out so beautifully. I use the shade sand and find it a great match with my skin tone.
Cronzer - Cream Bronzer – BPerfect Cosmetics (US)
I repurchase this every time I run out, I absolutely love this product! Probably the closest to a contour shade I can find currently. I also like the highlight on the other end, it’s nice and natural for a more every day vibe ☺️
Wonder™ Stick Contour and Highlighter Stick - NYX Cosmetics
I think this is so handy! The shades are cool toned making it perfect for nose contour. A really convenient “pen” type product that makes nose contour quick and easy.
Pixie Pen Nose Contour - pinkhoneyuk
I use this powder bronzer in most of my looks, just adds a nice bit of warmth to my face. As a pale girlie bronzer can be out of my comfort zone at times but I like the shade of this one!
Bronzer Makeup for Face & Body - NYX Cosmetics
Concealer
I take my concealer very seriously as an exhausted mum of two! These darks circles need coverage! 😂
A lovely creamy concealer with a radiant finish. The coverage is fantastic and doesn’t crease under my eyes.
Radiant Creamy Concealer - NARS Cosmetics
Brightens your base beautifully! A creamy lightweight formula with great coverage.
Chroma Conceal Liquid Concealer - BPerfect Cosmetics
A lightweight serum formula that provides light coverage. It’s also nice and hydrating so sometimes I’ll wear it all over for a light everyday look.
Bare With Me Concealer Serum | NYX Professional Makeup
The coverage is amazing from this! I don’t have many potted concealers but this definitely makes me want to get more.
Pink Camo Concealer - pinkhoneyuk
Setting Powder
Honestly I stick to what I know here! I do need to try more setting powders out
My go to setting powder! It literally makes my makeup flawless! No undereye creasing, pores are blurred, absolutely adore this powder.
NARS Setting Powder - NARS Cosmetics
I’ve used this for years before discovering the Nars powder! I have no issues with this powder, I do wish the top was different so the powder was easier to get but still a fab product.
Loose, Pressed, Translucent Face Powder - Revolution Beauty
Blush
My FAVOURITE product! There is no such thing as blush blindness here 😂
Another fabulous product from NYX PMU! The blush is creamy and blends beautifully. I love how it’s dual ended so you can do a bit of ombré blush if you so please. I also love to use this on my lids and lips for a cohesive makeup look.
Wonder Stick Blush Cream Blush Stick - NYX Cosmetics
Obsessed with these! The pigment is absolutely incredible and they literally blend like butter! They also have a lovely scent which isn’t overpowering. I love the shade range too, I have a good few of these! Definitely want to try the buttermelt bron...
Buttermelt High-Pigment Blush | NYX Professional Makeup
Love the pigment and love the formula! Always amazing things from P.Louise. These blend out lovely, I like the cushion applicator on this but not so much on the powder version. Feel free to use my code online at the plouise website LAURENCRILLDAWGMUA...
Plouise The Cheek of it - Liquid Blush
I love the shades in this range! A lovely brand with lots of amazing products.
Blooming Blush - Glisten Cosmetics
A stunning shimmery blush! These are so pretty on with a beautiful glow!
Pretty Fly Glow Getter Blush Peach'd on the Beach - Doll Beauty
Highlight
Absolutely love using highlight too, one of my favourite finishing touches! The brighter the better ✨
I absolutely adore P. Louise products! The highlight palettes are stunning! I have a more golden toned one which I reach for all the time.
P.Louise Everyday Mood: CEO Highlighter Palette
So technically an eyeshadow palette but I can not resist using this as highlight! So pretty 🤩
Mini Charms 9 Colour Palette - Beauty Bay
Love these, the stick form is so convenient! I said I like a multipurpose product and these are just that! The shade Blueberry Muffin is the cutest blush. They’re also a quick and easy cream eyeshadow.
Jumbo Multi-Use Highlighter Sticks - NYX Cosmetics
Ok so yes it’s a full complexion palette but the highlight in this is GORGEOUS 😍 so I can only imagine all of the bperfect highlighters are! The whole palette is fantastic too.
Base Elements - The Complexion Edit - BPerfect Cosmetics
Love these highlights! A gorgeous natural glow
Doll Light Duo - Beauty Bay
Setting Spray
My favourites for locking that base in all day long 🔒🥰
This is such a hydrating setting spray! Skin looks plump, hydrated and my makeup lasts all day.
Plump Finish Makeup Setting Spray - NYX Cosmetics
I’m not a fan of a matte foundation on myself but I love this setting spray! Looks makeup in and helps diminish any shine.
