What's in my Current Makeup Bag?

So a lot of you have been asking me recently what is in my makeup bag on a daily basis and today you'll find out exactly what I store in my bag.

I built up my makeup bag after trying and testing out different products and finding out which ones suited my skin and which ones I thought gave me exactly what I wanted. For example, I tried and tested so many different foundations to find my current favourite Full-Coverage, tried and tested so many different primers to see which one did the job the best.

Im not saying I found the ULTIMATE collection of makeup, but the products I use right now, are the ones that I currently love and that I find to be best for me.

So what do I have in my Bag??

1. FOUNDATIONS

Too Faced Born This Way foundation is what I use when I want a more full-coverage look. It's an oil-free build-able foundation, which means that you can put on multiple layers of the foundation on in order to achieve the coverage you want. There is no SPF in this foundation and as a plus, it photographs REALLY well. I absolutely love the design and packaging of the product - It just looks so amazing. This foundation in my opinion works really well for both day and night makeup.

2. PRIMER

This is a product that I have tried and tested lots of. Having a primer in your makeup bag is essential. I cannot stress enough how important this product is. It's the base for your face makeup and helps prepare the face to hold your makeup in place for the whole day.

The primer I have in my bag is the Too Faced Hangover Primer. Most of you will know by now, that I love any product that has coconut in it because of its amazing properties and how beneficial it is for the skin. This Hangover Primer is made with coconut water which helps aid boost the skin's radiance, hydrate the skin and lock in the makeup for longer. Its an absolute steal!

3. MAC Pro Longwear Concealer

I have experimented with lots of different concealers but this a product that I constantly come back to and is a product I use on my clients. It's highly pigmented and covers everything! It lasts forever and does not feel cakey at all. I can wear this on a day to day basis and for a more dolled up look. It's the best concealer in my opinion for functions and clients happen to agree to.

4. Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush

Im still trying to find my favourite blush. I've tried and tested loads and still haven't found the one blush which I absolutely adore. But at the moment I have the Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush, and I have to admit it is pretty good. It's suitable for all skin types, and is pigmented. It lasts forever and doesn't have a cakey feel to it at all.

5. Benefit Hoola Bronzer

This product is probably one of my favourite bronzers out of my whole makeup collection. It's fab for contouring, which is why I apply this product on my cheekbones, my jawline and my forehead (if I want to make my forehead appear smaller). It's suitable for all my skin types and colours which makes it brilliant. I tend to go for a contour that makes my cheekbones look great and the depth that I want, I easily get from this product in comparison to say other bronzers from MAC and L'Oreal. I do use the brush that comes with the product, however to blend the product out evenly, I use a soft contour brush.

6. MAC Soft and Gentle Highlighter

This was the first highlighter I ever came across and its probably why its my favourite. It has a velvety soft texture and is easily applied. Its build able, lightweight and is in my opinion, well pigmented. Its a great product for all skin types and colours which makes it a perfect universal product. The best way to apply this is by layering on the product. This highlighter also lasts for really long which makes it perfect for brides, for party events and all day makeup.

7. NYX Gel Eyeliner

Gel eyeliners in my personal opinion is the easiest type of eyeliner to apply. This product also acts as a smudger which means you can make it into an eyeshadow (although you have to act fast because it dries up quickly!). You dont have to layer up the liner, like some, because its so strong and its an intense black colour. It's waterproof and long lasting which is perfect for doing eyeliner that needs to last a while; especially on brides! When I used to go to work, this eyeliner was my best friend because it would last my entire 9-5.30 shift without looking dodgy near the end of the day!

8. Maybelline Collosal Mascara

Mascara's are the one product I have tried so many of and yet I can't help but keep coming back to this product. The wand is slim and it helps applies the product onto my lashes evenly. I noticed that my lashes looked thicker and longer whenever I apply this and sometimes I feel like I dont need to apply falsies because I can get away with it. Plus, waterproof mascara is always a big yes!!

9. Anastasia Beverly Hills DipBrow Promenade, Chocolate

My Brow products change ALL the time! I keep trying new things, yet one product I know will always work for me when I need it to, is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Promenade in the colour Chocolate. It's highly pigmented which means that a little goes a long way. I use an angled brow brush to apply this and it lasts forever! It doesn't smudge and is lightweight. I think if there is one brow product everyone needs in their bag; its the DipBrow Promenade.

I keep changing the products in my bag all the time, but if you need any help on products or you want to know more about what I think about certain products, dont hesitate to ask via social media or send me through an email!

Besos!
