If I could only have one beauty item (oh the horror) it would definitely be under the base makeup heading. Scrap fluttery lashes and rosey lips, I need a good base before I can think about anything else. To me it's like giving yourself a good canvas to work on. These are my current favourites for smoothing out all the face stuffs.
MAC Face & Body Foundation
My current foundation after switching from Estee Lauder Double Wear. I'll probably head back to DW for more coverage over winter, but I do think it's a tad heavy for all year round. Face & Body on the other hand feels like you're hardly wearing makeup, with a really light coverage that you can gradually build up. I love it for something more natural.

Bobbi Brown Sheer Finish Pressed Powder
I don't know if this actually counts as a 'base' product, but it's the one I go for for setting all the other stuff. It's got a good colour payoff to it without the yellow tones you can get with some powders. My only problem is I get through it way too quick. Shiny t-zone problems.

MAC Strobe Cream
Because everyone's mad for strobing right now. This one I've rediscovered after repurchasing from years ago. I love it under foundation and even over, dabbed along cheeks to add that dewy look in.

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer
I think this one is a winner with a lot of folk. It does have a really nice coverage (I mainly use it on dark under eye areas) but I think it's the colour I like the most. The salmon-y pink shade I use is just really nice for brightening up yellow undertones.

Make Up For Ever Camouflage Creme Palette
I mostly use this for touch ups and as part of my contour routine. The mix of colours are really handy for that sort of thing. The darker shade I use for blending out concealer, while the lighter shades are good for sharpening up brows and really defining highlights.

Love a bit of NARS and MAC especially when my skin is feeling crappy. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat shade do you use for the Nars concealer? I've always wanted to try it! Also the make up forever concealer palette has been on my wishlist for over two years... perhaps it's time! xxx

These are great picks, I have been on the hunt for a 'better base' and these products look right up my street and I'm so curious about the strobe cream, I can never seem to find it in my local MAC!

The Radiant Creamy Concealer is brilliant. The MUFE concealer palette is also very good x
