I'm not a beauty guru so my face isn't covered with MAC beauty products (unless its a gift) and I'm a student so Chanel is completely out of the question too, but, I do love wearing make up so I thought I'd share what I use on a regular basis.
 |
| I was always sceptical about BB creams, will I get good coverage? Does it stay on all day? but I gave in to the media adverts of 'I never went back after trying BB cream' and I hate to be that person but I actually never went back. This Maybelline BB cream (£6.99) has helped clear up my skin, cover blemishes while still being light on my face. |
 |
I think all good foundations need to start off with a great base, and this Baby Skin Primer (£7.99) is one of my favourites it makes my skin feel so smooth and keeps my foundation on for longer too. It also smells a little like Mr Kipling cherry bakewells. |
 |
| I got this Lancome Make Up Remover (Bi-Facil £21.00) as part of a gift set and I have to say it is THE BEST. The smallest amount goes such a long way, takes off all my make-up, even all my mascara, without leaving my face greasy or extremely dry like many other cleansers/removers I've used. |
 |
The cat flick eyeliner has been a part of my daily life for about 5 years now, and I've been through an uncountable amount of liquid eyeliner. Out of all of the brands I've tried (including MAC waterproof) this Revlon ColorStay (£7.99) comes out on top. Its easy to apply, affordable, stays on all day without cracking and is one of the blackest blacks (which is very important to me because I hate when they look faded). |
 |
| This product was given to me by a friend who tried it out and said she didn't really like it. However, when I tried it out I absolutely loved it, I have quite thick eyebrows and this Maybelline Brow Drama (£4.99) is perfect for keeping them in place, if its for a night out or even through the day I find it thickens the hairs and really helps with the shaping, perfect for helping to achieve the Cara Delevingne style brow. |
 |
| This is probably my favourite of them all, I love a glowy skin look and this MUA Highlighter is amazing for that. Applied along the cheek and brow bones can help bring out your best bone structure. And with it being only £3.00!! I suggest if you want it, to stock up because they sell out (Superdrug) insanely quick. |
 |
| Although most of my make-up items fall below the £10 mark, some even £5, I do think it is important to find a good mascara. This Lancome Hypnose Star comes in at £22.50 but I swear by it. I love the thick bristled brush as it gives volume and length to my eyelashes (which helps majorly as I'm not really into false eyelashes). However, if you're looking for a great drug store branded mascara try Maybelline Falsies, that was my previous product before I found this lovely one. |
 |
| I LOVE TOPSHOP. Everything about it, the clothes, the make-up and especially the lipsticks. This Lipstick in the colour Screen Siren (£8.00) is creamy and well pigmented, I find the colours do last for a long time and even when they do wear off they don't leave you with that embarrassing 90's mum lip liner and nothing else look around your mouth. Another colour to try out (which is my ultimate number one red lipstick) is Rio Rio red by TopShop, its more of a vibrant red whereas this has a darker/slightly pink element to it. |
