What stays are these issues that I wouldn’t hesitate to repurchase as soon as I’d used them up. Every part’s in date (I hope!) and there’s no ‘simply in case’ merchandise in there as a result of SPOILER – I by no means find yourself utilizing them anyway!!! After all there are nonetheless extra gadgets than I might use every day as a result of I like just a few dewy base choices, lip decisions and eyeshadows to select from, so I pack an everyday makeup bag* simply to make preparing within the morning fast and simple. I wish to rotate it each few weeks as my tastes, the seasons and my pores and skin shifts. Right here’s what’s in it now…

BASE

I’m massive into tinted moisturisers today.

So in the intervening time it’s the MAC Face + Body Foundation in C2* that I’m reaching for every day. For concealer I’m at the moment utilizing two – the Glossier Stretch in Light 2* for below my eyes – it’s actually the one concealer I like for below there as my eyes get so dehydrated – and the ILIA True Serum Concealer in 1.75* which has a bit extra protection to it, however continues to be actually easy and spreadable so I discover it good for my psoriasis patches and blemishes. For cheeks I’m probably not into blush or highlighter in the intervening time, I simply go in with the Makeup By Mario SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer in Light Medium* which does a little bit of every little thing in a single. Like severely, what did I do earlier than this product!? It provides heat and softness with a little bit of contouring too. If I’m feeling fancy or filming I would add within the Victoria Beckham Contour Stylus in Travertine* which is ridiculously straightforward to make use of and blends like a dream. Such a foolproof contour product.

EYES

I set my brows in place with the Patrick Ta Brow Gel* AS ALWAYS (though I’ve bought the brand new Anastasia one* within the publish proper now as I assumed I’d give it a go!). Then normally I’ll use considered one of my liquid or cream eyeshadows, however I assumed I’d pull out this powder eyeshadow palette that features such basic as (from high left clockwise) – MAC Tete-a-Tint*, Soba*, Anastasia Beverly Hills Eyeshadow in Caramel* and MAC Uninterrupted*. Are you able to keep in mind these!? Very related tones as my cream eyeshadows, however simply thought I’d get them into the on a regular basis rotation because it had been some time. For mascara I’m at the moment loving the Lancome Monsieur Big Waterproof Mascara* – one other blast from the previous. I have a tendency to use after which take a clear spoolie by means of the ends to eliminate any bulk.

LIPS

Most days I simply stick the Summer Friday Lip Butter in Pink Sugar* on and name it a day, however seeing ass it feels prefer it’s been ages since I used every other lip product I assumed I’d add the Hermes Rosy Lip Enhancer in Rose Tan* to my bag. A really related tone to the lip butter to be trustworthy, however with a barely extra satin-like end.

TOOLS

I maintain my instruments SIMPLE. Largely as a result of I hate washing my brushes, so every day I solely use three. The Westman Atelier Blender Brush* – so costly, however I’ve used it day-after-day because it launched in 2019 and it nonetheless seems model new, you get what you pay for with this one. The Beauty Pie Pro Angled Cheek Brush* – simply the very best for the Make-up By Mario Bronzer – it type of hugs the cheekbones so you will get a extremely exact, however simply blended software. Then lastly the Makeup By Mario EF2 Brush* which is what I exploit to use all my eyeshadow merchandise, regardless of the formulation. Oh and the Suratt Eyelash Curlers* which once more I’ve used for years – nothing else comes shut.
