If you want something to bonze you without gaining to orange of a colour or that “muddy” look, then this one 100% takes the win
Makeup By Mario Soft Sculpt™ Bronzer

If your not on a budget, this truly is a holy grail. So so creamy and doesnt make you look muddy
Contour
Blush
This will seriously last you yearsss and is the creamiest blush i have ever used

I personally prefer a cream blush but if i had to choose a powder blush that i actully liked this would be winner by far.
NARS Blush
Setting Powder
Blurred. This has cured my creased under eyes and my oily T-zone

If you wanted your makeup set for 24 hours this would seriously do it

An oldie but a goodie, sets my makeup forever

I never saw the hype with these but once i gave it a go and purchased it, i actually really liked how they 1. made my lips look and feel and 2. all the flavours!

LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask
Lip Liner
Go to lip liner if you havent found THE liner yet and want something in between pink a nude
MAC Lip Pencil | Whirl, Boldly Bare and Cork Lip Liners
This is another one of my fav lip liners as its literally a dupe for the charlotte tilbury pillow talk but more than half the price!
McoBeauty Lip Liner
Eyeliner
I can only seem to manage this eyeliner, with my shaky hands, poor accuracy and watery eyes. Anddd they have so many colours to choose from and play around with (my favs are brown and red)
