This is no7 Beautiful skin BB cream for normal/dry skin in fair as I'm very pale. It acts as a foundation for me but is more like a tinted moisturiser. I apply it with a foundation brush so I make sure I get full coverage. It's not the best for covering up spots but I'm lucky enough not to suffer too badly with that so I wouldn't recommend it if you have trouble with spots. It's perfect for people that want a more natural look instead of a cakey/orange look but also evens the skin tone out perfectly. It's not overly expensive and is available at £12.95.
This is my only eye shadow palette and it's Revlon in shade Adventurous. I use the golden/brown (bottom left) on the main part of the eyelid, dark brown (bottom right) in the outside corner of my eyelid and the pale cream (top left) on top up to the brow bone also I sometimes use the pale cream under my eye to highlight my eye as it's not too noticeable. The colours create a very subtle look and I use them everyday as brown/golden/taupe colours make blue eyes (which I have) stand out. I recommend this product if you prefer to stay natural instead of use bright colours, but it's always good to be adventurous! It's available at £7.99 which isn't too pricey.
This is one of my absolute favourites, partly because it's MAC but mostly because it's so so good! It's in shade mocha, it's a powder blush and gives a matte finish. It's just the right shade for me (pinky/corally/peachy) as I have already have a natural blush so it's not too bright. I apply it with a blusher brush, focusing more on the apple of my cheek. I've had this products for two weeks and it still look brand new (even the pattern on the power is still there), so I have a feeling I won't be needing to top-up on that any time soon. It's not cheap but not expensive at £17.50, it's definitely worth the money!
You can't tell very well in the photo but this product is a concealer by no7 it's in shade extra fair for my pale skin and is one of the thicker textures. This is perfect for when you get those sneaky outbursts of the unexpected spot, it doesn't completely make the spot go away, but what does? It simply dulls the redness down and makes it less visible. If you get the right shade for your skin tone it blends in really well but if you get the wrong shade it can end up looking awful and making the spot even more visible than it was before, I'm speaking from experience. I apply this onto the area from the stick then gently blend it in with my finger, personally I think this is the best application technique, but whatever suits you is always best! It's very reasonable at the price of £7.00.
This small, delicate pot contains my answer to a perfect eye liner. It's in shade black by maybelline new york and comes with a brush. It's in a gel like form and there really is not a lot of it but you only need the tiniest bit ever on the brush to apply the eye liner. I use the thin nibbed brush that makes it easy to apply smoothly and create a dramatic or subtle flick. I recommend this if you have a steady hand! It's £7.99 and will last you a long time!
This is a highlighter pen by Yves Saint Laurent (ysl), it's in a pinky/cream shade to suit the pink undertones of my skin. The packaging really stands out to me as it's shiny gold but mostly the content of it is what made me buy this highlighter. I apply it under my eyes, the sides of my nose and on my brow bone to highlight the areas. It's a really nice creamy texture that slides smoothly onto the skin and blends well into the skin. I have tried cheaper versions of it by different brands but none of them have the same flawless finish. WARNING: don't apply to spots because it highlights it and makes it more visible, I've made this mistake before. It's a very pricey product but definitely worth the money at around £24.
This is my mascara and as you can tell I've had a lot of use out of it! It's by max factor and called calorie 2000. It really is amazing and you only have to apply one or two coats to get the natural finish you want. It doesn't clog or become sticky and it always lasts me a day without having to reapply. I highly recommend this product as I've had it for years and it's never failed me. I think it costs around £8 so is a very reasonable price.
I think this is possibly my most favourite item of make-up I own because it's just perfect! It's in shade 'ruby woo' by MAC and has a matte finish. It's a very bright red but also quite dark so it is an acquired taste as a lot of people don't like or don't feel confident to wear bright lipstick. It is so easy to apply and the colour is so pigmented. It's finish (matte) is sophisticated and makes your lips look fuller. I prefer this to any of my other lipsticks as they all have a glossy finish which I tend not to like as much. I recommend this to any who likes the bright look. It's not overly expensive with a price of £14.00.
