Complexion
My everyday go to foundation. Nice and hydrating for some one with dry skin. Can also be built to a fuller coverage.
Beautiful Skin: Hydrating Foundation: 5 Neutral | Charlotte Tilbury | Charlotte Tilbury
Love this for concealing pretty much anything, super hydrating for the under eyes. Is very creamy so a little goes a long way.
IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer 12ml (Various Shades)
This a gorgeous finely milled powder for those that don’t like a heavy powder but want to reduce shine or set areas without added texture. This travel size is perfect to try to see if it works for you.
Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder Travel Size 2g
Great powder for a flawless, matte finish. Is definitely one for those who want a full glam finish to their complexion
Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Powder 20g (Various Shades)
A gorgeous blurring matte foundation for those with normal to oilier skin or who prefer a matte finish. Coverage is medium buildable from my experience. Looks beautiful in photographs too.
NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundation 45ml (Various Shades)
Blurring matte finish concealer, great for blemishes on the skin. Blends beautifully with full coverage finish.
NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer 6.2g (Various Shades)
Eye Makeup
An absolute bargain for high quality eyeshadows. In every neutral shade you can think of. I was pleasantly surprised by the blend-able pigmented formula of these eyeshadows at this price point

If you want to treat yourself to good quality shadows as well as luxury packaging that would look gorgeous on your dressing table or handbag then these eyeshadows by Lisa Eldridge are a great option.
Luxury Eyeshadow Palette | Muse Hues | Lisa Eldridge Makeup
If like me, you dread taking your mascara off at the end of the day then you’ll love this one. It’s a tubing mascara so comes off when gently massaged off with plain water. More of a lengthening mascara but definitely adds a good amount of volume too...
Lash XTNDR Mascara
These are quite literally budge proof, I would use these pencils if I want my eyeliner to last for hours. They set very quickly so wouldn’t use them if you intend to create a smudge Smokey eye.
All Smudge No Budge Eye Liner Pencil
A great one if you’re after a volumising mascara. Gently wiggle the wand as you apply to avoid clumpy mascara with any volumising mascara. Also waterproof which is my general go to as someone with constant allergies!
Hypnôse Drama Waterproof - Instant Full Body Volume Mascara - Lancôme
Blendable creamy eyeliners, perfect for creating Smokey eyes or just smudging on your lashline. Added bonus that you get two shades which makes it great for travelling or to take it from day to night
Super Nudes Eye Liner Duo | Charlotte Tilbury | Charlotte Tilbury
The most precise brow pencil I’ve ever used. Can get the most thinnest hair like strokes with these
Precisely, My Brow Eyebrow Pencil | Benefit Cosmetics
Keeps my brows in place and doesn’t feel sticky and heavy compared to other brow gels I’ve used. For thicker brows I recommend coming through the hair backwards first to get the most product on. Has a small wand so you can really manipulate your brow...
Brow Tint
Lip Products
I love the texture of these pencils, they’re not too hard nor too soft. They have great pigment and some of the best shades.
MAKE UP FOR EVER ARTIST COLOR PENCIL
Blush, Bronzer, Highlight
No one does luminous blush better than hourglass in my opinion. They offer a flush of colour with radiance that’s not shimmery or glittery. Just the perfect amount of luminosity
HOURGLASS Ambient Lighting Blush 4g
Love these cream blushes, they’re super creamy and blendable and you get multiple shades for such a great price. I have the xl version of these in my professional kit and I love using them.
BEAUTY BAY: The destination to explore your beauty obsessions
One of my favourite cream bronzer formulas, very easy to blend, buildable and nice and compact
Cream Bronzer
A little goes a long way with these highlighters. They’re high impact with minimal amount of product. A must have if you want your highlighter to pop.
RARE BEAUTY Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter
Absolute favourite bronzer, these can be used as an all over face powder but also work beautifully as bronzers. They come on smooth, not too matte so don’t get patchy. They have a slight hint of radiance to them. Another one in my professional kit.
Mineralize Skinfinish Natural – Powder
A creamy highlight that’s subtle, if you’re some one who wants a more realistic looking glow. Can also be a good base for a powder highlight over the top if you want more pop. I tend to wear this on its own as it looks like a natural glow.
