Oh hi! Welcome to my morning face, and my amazing mug which I got literally ten years ago. Welcome.
It's been a while, sorry about that, life got in the way.
Anyway, hopefully as you can see from the title, this post is all about base (buttery biscuit base)..if you don't know what that means I don't think we can be friends. Look it up.
So for this, I used all (very almost) highstreet, or drugstore products to achieve a natural looking base which just needed topping up with whatever eye and lip look I fancied.
I won't say this is an everyday look - I tend not to have time to do a few of these steps- but this probably only took 15-20 minutes tops.
For foundation, my favourite at the moment is
Rimmel Match Perfection in a mix of Porcelain and Ivory to get my colour. I love this stuff, even though I have pretty oily skin, and I think it might be better suited to normal to dry skin as it has a really natural/dewy finish. I do get oily on my T Zone during the day, but I prefer that to the foundation breaking down into patches which looks
awful with foundations like the L'Oreal True Match. Anyway, I digress.
For concealer, a mix of my
Bobbi Brown Corrector, Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and the
L'Oreal True Match clicky highlight pen thing. Love all these, great cocktail of concealers. Speaking of the Collection concealer, I used a little of Shade 4 to warm up my face just around the edges and on my cheeks. This isn't a cream contour, it's a pretty warm shade, but it works really nicely as a cream bronzer.
For powder (which isn't in the photo, sorry, it was 7am) I use my
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Difused Light, as well as my
Fit Me Powder to set oilier areas.
I like to cancel out discolouration on my eyelids every day, it just makes your eyes look so much more awake. I was using the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Creme de Rose, but I have this sample of
Benefit's Stay Don't Stray so I've been using that for a while now - it's lasting forever!
For my brows, I am looving my
Anastasia Dip Brow in Soft Brown at the moment, I think it's dried out a little and I'm finding it a lot easier to not over- load. I top this off with the
L'Oreal Brow Plumper.
Somehow, for the rest of my face, I accidentally used three Revolution Products. Firstly, this huge
Bronze/Shimmer/Highlight pan and then the blush in
Love. Really like both of these, especially the bronzer which I always go back to. For highlight, which I basically put all over my face, I used the
Revolution Radiant Lights palette which is
amazing if you're looking for a budget highlight, really long lasting, and a great selection of three shades for all skin tones. Ah-maze.
So yeah! Think that's it. As I said, not something I have time for every morning, but definitely nice when I have a little more time in the mornings and I want a little extra bronze 'n' glow.
Thanks for reading!
Side note, I have child hair. Yep.
