I thought as I am suddenly obsessed with make up at the moment it would be a good idea to write my first blog post on my current make up purchases.
I'll start with my brushes, I used to use my hands to apply my foundation and now that I've converted to brushes I can see the difference. Real Technique brushes use synthetic hair but they feel like animal hair, they're lovely and soft on my face and makes apply my make-up an easy task. These are a reasonable price if you are keen to try them out.
Now I'm always forgetting how important primer is for your face and because I'm never too keen on it I decided to find a cheap primer with great reviews via the help of Pinterest. I decided to buy the Elf primer in a green tone to help reduce redness, I personally don't like the feel of it when it's on your face as it does feel quite oily/ silky however when foundation is applied over the top you can see the difference, it creates a lovely even skin effect.
After a long process of review reading I finally managed to change my foundation, my skin is ridiculously fussy with what I put on it and I hate having a foundation that cakes my skin, as you'll soon notice I have a few freckles and a thick foundation doesn't look right on my skin. However with the joys of christmas vouchers I bought myself the Urban Decay foundation and it is wonderful, it covers my blemishes and evens out my skin tone without it feeling like I'm wearing a mountain of foundation.
I am a big eyeliner lover and once I find a product that's right for me I stick to it I originally used a crayon style eyeliner and when benefit release their new eyeliner I had to try it out! I will now never go back to my old eyeliner because this one is perfect. It does take a while to get used to what with me being cack handed I did struggle to get used applying it but once you get the technique you won't regret buying it. With eyeliner comes the eyeshadow palette and I do love creating a lovely smokey eye look using the pigmented colours from Urban Decay's Naked Palette 2, inside the box you will receive 4 small samples of eye primer which enhance the pigments more.
Eyebrows, last but not least the most important feature, the slightest problem with them can change your whole face. With the help of an eyebrow pencil alongside the Benefit Brow-zing this little tool will create the perfect eyebrow it again doesn't look too caked on.
