A question I get asked a lot on my Instagram is what make-up I use/what products are my favourites. So I thought I’d tell you all! (If you’re broke like me, this should be a helpful and affordable blog post!) If you prefer your make-up quite bold and striking this probably won’t be very useful to you – I don’t generally wear too much make-up on a daily basis.
(sorry for the awful photo quality)
01 I couldn’t find a good photo of this but I ALWAYS put on moisturiser before any make-up. I don’t know how anyone copes without doing this; my skin isn’t even dry but it helps so much when applying foundation. It just blends much easier and doesn’t go patchy. (I also put it on my eyelids as a kind of second best primer.)

03 I don’t always use powder but I *hate* the ‘wet foundation’ look that just ends up making your skin look and feel worse! But as I don’t always use foundation and when I do I use a small amount, I only really use powder when I need to even out the foundation. The one I use is Fit Me by Maybelline – so cheap and comes with a cute little pink sponge (are they called sponges?)

05 My blusher is a really cheap little Rimmel one. It’s a really pale shade of pink – I can’t go too bright with such an ivory complexion *cries*


08 The last product I’ll talk about is another little cheap number – the Seventeen lipstick ‘Pinked’. It looks incredibly bright but doesn’t look bad on. The only thing I’d say is that it might favour pale skin/dark hair – I think it’s my combo of this that makes it look quite subtle.
Thanks for reading guys, if you’ve got any good make-up products that you think I should try, please comment below!
