My Makeup Essentials

There are certain makeup steps and products that bring my whole look together. I thought I would share my makeup must haves that I include in every routine, I hope you enjoy this and leave me a comment if you do!

       Under eye concealer - even if my under eyes aren’t dark or I’ve had a decent night’s sleep, without concealing my under eyes I look weird. If this isn’t something you currently do, try it. I recommend MaybellineFit Me or NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer.

       Foundation - unless you have beautiful and flawless skin naturally (if you do I’m jealous), wearing a full face of makeup without foundation probably won’t look right. If you dislike foundation though, try a BB OR CC cream for a softer look.

       Green concealer - having acne, when I discovered green concealer for covering my redness I just couldn’t let it go. I will upload a more in-depth post on colour correction – comment if you want me to.

      Primer - when I was a newbie to makeup I thought primer was unnecessary. Now, I will never put ANY makeup on my face without a primer. It helps everything blend perfectly whilst creating a barrier between the makeup and your skin to prevent oiliness or your pores clogging.

       Beauty Blender - a makeup sponge such as a beauty blender (or the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge for a dupe) is so essential. I cannot imagine doing my makeup without one, it takes away excess makeup so you don’t look cakey as well as allowing you to achieve a seamless blend when highlighting, contouring, and concealing.
