"Beauty is self confidence applied directly to your face."

How you treat your face matters, even when you're getting dolled up. Thats why I believe that the products which especially for skin care i.e. foundation should always be right for your skin no matter what the price tag holds. I've tried many different bits of make-up and I know what is right for my skin. Be open to trying difference options until you've found the one you love.
1. Foundation: Estée Lauder, Perfectionist.
Perfectionist foundation is truly perfect for daily usage. It gives you a medium to full coverage depending on how much product you apple and whether you apply, and leaves your skin feeling flawless all day long. It does hydrate your skin, for someone who suffers from dry skin I'd recommend trying this product out. It gives your a satin finish as opposed to matte which gives you a natural glow.
2. Concealer: L.A. Girl, HD Pro Conceal.
Luckily I don't suffer from dark circles under my eye but I use this product in the shade light, as its a similar tone to be natural skin colour. This product is perfect for highlighting and brightening my under-eyes, which does it brilliantly. I like to apply this product and blend with my finger to gain maximum coverage. The beauty also lines in building coverage, with the more product you apply I avoid this as it tends become cakey.
3. Eye Shadow/ Contour: Rimmel London, Scandal Eyes Eyeshadow Stick Bullet.
The ultra soft formula glides onto the eyes so smoothly, making it easy to blend in with your finger or an eyeshadow brush a long-lasting product. The colour I brought, is a perfect shade to use to contour my face. I use this as opposed to a powder on a daily basis as its gives a natural brown colour as opposed to the 'tangerine' colour.
4. Highlighter: Makeup Revolution, Golden Lights
The shimmer, the glow achieved by using this golden champagne colour placed above my cheekbones and in the corner of my eyes to give me a wide eye look. It unbelievable how affordable this product is for what you get, it's a highly pigmented. They also have two other highlighters, pink lights and peach lights which I am yet to try.
5. EyeLiner/EyeBrow Gel: Maybeline, Eye studio Gel Liner Black
This product I use for two purpose one as an eyeliner although I don't tend to wear eyeliner on a daily basis. The next I've found that it is a perfect substitute for gel eyebrow gel and by using a minimal amount it goes a long way and gives my eyebrows a natural finish. It doesn't smudge when using it as an eyeliner or to fill in the sparse areas of my brows. A little bit of product goes a long way.
