Daily Make-Up Products


I've been using the same products every day for a while now and have grown fairly fond of quite a few of them. So I thought I would share my favourite daily make-up products.






Listed in order which I would put on my face after moisturising;

  • Primer- this was just the cheapest I could find but my favourites include benefit 15 hour stay flawless (blogged about here) or benefit porefessional/garner blur (blogged about here)
  • Foundation- MAC studio fix fluid in 'NW15'. I love this foundation as I find it lasts all day on my skin and gives a beautiful natural glow without being oily (a miracle for my oil/combination skin)
  • Concealer- Collection concealer in 'Light 2'. Best concealer I've ever used and have never found one to live up to it no matter how much I've spent
  • Powder- MAC mineralise skin finish natural in 'Medium'. This powder gives a light coverage and really helps keep my shine at bay and helps the make-up last longer. Sits on top of the foundation beautifully
  • Bronzer- Benefit 'Hoola' bronzer. A complete shimmer free bronzer which is the best for contouring and adding a natural warmth to the face
  • Blush- Benefit 'Dandelion' blusher. A soft pink which gives a very natural flush of colour to the cheeks. If I'm after a brighter colour then I opt for the Sleek blush palette (blogged about here)
  • Mascara- Benefit They're Real' mascara (blogged about here). Not my favourite at first but once it's dried slightly it's perfect for adding length and separating the lashes thanks to the ball at the end of the wand
  • Eyebrows- No7 beautiful eyebrow pencil (don't know the shade but it's a brown one!?). What I love about this one if at on one end there's a brush to first neaten the brows (I get terrible bed-brow-hair) and the pencil fills in my brow's gap when used very gently in short strokes
  • Inner eye highlighter- Essence eyeshadow in '01 chill out'. Again this was the cheapest white shadow I could find. It's too shimmery for my eyebrow highlight but works a treat at opening up my eyes when put in the inner corner of my eyes
To apply the foundation and powder I use the Real Techniques brushes. For the foundation I apply it with the 'Expert Face Brush', the powder and bronzer with the 'Powder Brush', the blusher with the 'Blush Brush', for my concealer under my eyes I use the 'setting brush' and for the eyeshadow in the inner eye I use the 'Shading Brush'. (They're not pictured as they're embaressingly dirty!)


What's your favourite daily product?
