My current FAVE foundation that leaves the most beautiful perfect skin like base for any bride. It’s buildable and hydrating, I lovvve.
Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation
Not a hot take, but I love this foundation as a really light base. I use this as my everyday glowy foundation and if I’m had less than 5 hours sleep, it’s usually backed up by an under eye cream and concealer as well. I wouldn’t use this as a going o...
Hollywood Flawless Filter: Glow Booster
For my thirssssty skin girlies. Pop this on before priming and let dry. Rice water is so hydrating and calming on your skin, especially after cleansing it’s nice to pop down a serum before coming in with a primer.
The Beauty Of Joseon Glow Deep Serum Rice + Arbutin
This is beeeautiful to work with. I love the colour cappuccino for a cool toned contour colour if your skin tone is light to medium.
BRONZOUR: CREAM BRONZER
This is my go to base on most clients. I would avoid for more mature clients as sometimes I find it sits on top of the skin a bit more, however any dry girlies this puts down the most hydrated base pre foundation. Apply and let dry before moving to y...
Embryolisse Lait Creme Concentre 24hour Miracle Cream 75ml
I love using this concealer as a primer and base for my eyeshadow. It creates a really beautiful base that makes the eyeshadow colours bolder and crease free.
Buy tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer
Such a good staple eyeshadow palette, for the Naked Palette girlies who are in their thirties. Matte browns, and also a really good size to keep in your makeup bag.
Master Mattes® Eyeshadow Palette: The Original
Stunning liner to give that on trend pout. Pair with a taupe gloss to finish off a bronzer look, or use with a rose toned nude for depth.
Artist Color Pencil - Lip liner

These are the best value for money brushes. I use them in my kit and love especially the base brushes. If you get the kit even for new base brushes you’re still getting unreal value.
Jessup 25pcs Pro Makeup Brush Set T175
This brush cleaner is soooo cheap but so effective. If I see it in stock I buy a few because it’s that good. It cleans beauty blenders and brushes so well.
Puff Sponge Detergent -80mL - 2.7fl oz-
This will take you back to inhaling hairspray at your dance concerts, it is heavy duty but it works so well. I’ve personally used this multiple times, and my makeup has lasted 12+ hours.
ONE/SIZE On Til Dawn Setting Spray
Skin Prep.
This is so beautiful and hydrating to pop on clients after I cleanse, and before I start doing any makeup. Pop it on before bed and wake up feeling fresh!
Buy LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask
This cleanser is sooo good at removing makeup at the end of the day. It isn’t drying and it lasts months as you only use a really small amount.
Papaya Sorbet Enzyme Cleansing Balm
Every single client that sits in my chair gets a cotton pad swipe over with this machine of a cleanser. Even if my client tells me they have cleansed that day, 9 times out of 10 this cleanser will pick up whatever their cleansing didn’t.
Sensibio H2O | Micellar cleansing water makeup remover for sensitive skin
This oil is so beautiful, it is a dry oil so doesn’t leave you greasy. It has a really beautiful scent as well that I love.
Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or Multi Purpose Dry Oil 50ml
