Is it simply me, or does it really feel like we’re in our ‘enhancing’ period? A time for scaling again, decluttering and actually holding onto these on a regular basis items and nothing extra? In fact it SINGS to me and is one thing I’ve been engaged on wardrobe-wise over the previous few months, so over the weekend once I had a spare second I took the time to have my greatest magnificence declutter thus far. What stays are these issues that I wouldn’t hesitate to repurchase as soon as I’d used them up. All the things’s in date (I hope!) and there’s no ‘simply in case’ merchandise in there as a result of SPOILER – I by no means find yourself utilizing them anyway!!! In fact there are nonetheless extra gadgets than I may use each day as a result of I like a number of dewy base choices, lip selections and eyeshadows to select from, so I pack an everyday makeup bag* simply to make preparing within the morning fast and straightforward. I prefer to rotate it each few weeks as my tastes, the seasons and my pores and skin shifts. Right here’s what’s in it now…

BASE

I’m massive into tinted moisturisers as of late. Although my pores and skin isn’t GREAT proper now, I like that sheerness and barely there really feel on my pores and skin, even on days once I’m doing extra of a ‘correct’ make-up. So in the meanwhile it’s the MAC Face + Body Foundation in C2* that I’m reaching for every day. For concealer I’m at present utilizing two – the Glossier Stretch in Light 2* for below my eyes – it’s actually the one concealer I like for below there as my eyes get so dehydrated – and the ILIA True Serum Concealer in 1.75* which has a bit extra protection to it, however remains to be actually easy and spreadable so I discover it good for my psoriasis patches and blemishes. For cheeks I’m probably not into blush or highlighter in the meanwhile, I simply go in with the Makeup By Mario SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer in Light Medium* which does a little bit of every part in a single. Like critically, what did I do earlier than this product!? It provides heat and softness with a little bit of contouring too. If I’m feeling fancy or filming I’d add within the Victoria Beckham Contour Stylus in Travertine* which is ridiculously simple to make use of and blends like a dream. Such a foolproof contour product.

EYES

I set my brows in place with the Patrick Ta Brow Gel* AS ALWAYS (though I’ve received the brand new Anastasia one* within the put up proper now as I assumed I’d give it a go!). Then often I’ll use one in every of my liquid or cream eyeshadows, however I assumed I’d pull out this powder eyeshadow palette that features such basic as (from high left clockwise) – MAC Tete-a-Tint*, Soba*, Anastasia Beverly Hills Eyeshadow in Caramel* and MAC Uninterrupted*. Are you able to bear in mind these!? Very related tones as my cream eyeshadows, however simply thought I’d get them into the on a regular basis rotation because it had been some time. For mascara I’m at present loving the Lancome Monsieur Big Waterproof Mascara* – one other blast from the previous. I have a tendency to use after which take a clear spoolie by way of the ends to do away with any bulk.

LIPS

Most days I simply stick the Summer Friday Lip Butter in Pink Sugar* on and name it a day, however seeing ass it feels prefer it’s been ages since I used every other lip product I assumed I’d add the Hermes Rosy Lip Enhancer in Rose Tan* to my bag. A really related tone to the lip butter to be trustworthy, however with a barely extra satin-like end.
