I haven't posted in ages because of all the New Year Celebrations and then Exam week at school!
Happy New year! It's 2016!
When cleaning up my makeup box/bag/draws I found that I have about a thousands beauty products which I haven't used since 2014. So I went back to basics to getting a flawless face and make-up look. These are my top 10 products to have in your make-up bag.
1. A foundation that matches your skin tone
Are you ivory, fair, soft beige? Do you even know your actual foundation shade? Most people don't and a way to find out id to go into Boots or another makeup store and ask to find your perfect match.
A fountain is always important to cover up spots, blemishes and dark circles.
Tip: You can apply moisturiser and primer to give your look a flawless base and make any other make-up easier to apply.
2. A concealer
Dark circles still visible? Can you still see some blemishes? Touch up with concealer to conceal any parts you don't like.
Tip: apply your concealer in a triangle under your eyes to make your make-up look natural.
3. Powder
Oily skin? Shiny face? To make your face matte apply a powder which a matte finish to make your skin look less oily.
4. A rosy blush
Looking like a ghost? add some colour to your cheeks to bring yourself back to life. A nice rosy red/pink blush that makes your skin look its best is probably the best blush for you and bring your face back to life.
Tip: apply your blush to the apple of your check and slowly blend it into your face to create a natural look.
5. A shimmer highlighter
If you don't like a bit of shimmer or sparkle I would miss this product out but I personally do love a bit of glitter to make you look like a fairy or angel. a shimmer highlighter will bring out your cheek bones as well as sparkle your face.
6. A matte eyeshadow
A simple matte eyeshadow to define your eyes is a good buy for 2016 as it creates a visible block of colour to bring out your eye colour.
Tip: buy a matte eyeshadow that matches your skin colour and then slowly introduce colour back to your face.
7. A liquid eyeliner
This is a must have for me as when you want to make your eyes pop! Use a eyeliner to define your eyes.
Tip: open your eye to see and mark the right spot to create a winged liner look.
8. A eyelash curler
most eyelashes grow outwards instead of upwards... Eyelash curlers can make that differed and it also helps make mascara easier to put on.
If you are scared of eyelash curlers take your time while curling your lashes so you slowly get used the beauty tool.
9. A non-clump mascara
Eyelashes look bare or dull? Add mascara to open up your eye and finish off your eyes.
Tip: buy a non-clump mascara to make sure your lashes don't get stuck together with lumps of black mascara.
10. A bold lipstick or tinted lip balm
A good lip colour is essential in creating a look that make you feel confident and happy. The perfect lipstick will give you self-confidence and a bounce in your step... you just have to find what you are comfortable wearing.
Those are my Basic make-up products/tools...
I hope you create a confident look with makes you feel good about yourself.
