My Top Three Series: Powders

The final in this series is Powder.

I never really understood why powder was necessary in a makeup routine but now I really get it. It helps to set the make up in place. I'm not really a heavy make up kinda gal so most days I just wear a small amount of powder. These are my top three:

1. Mac MIneralize Skinfinish Natural (Dark)

2. Maybelline Fit Me (355 Cocunut)

3.Collection 2000 Pressed powder (15 Warm Bronze)

1. Mac MIneralize Skinfinish Natural 

   This is a great powder which can be used on its own or to set foundation. It's lightweight and it's a bit like a mix of a bronzer and a powder as it leaves an amazing glow. This powder lasts for a very long time so it's definetely worth the Mac price tag.

I apply this powder with a Real Techniques Powder Brush.

This powder is available for £22.00 from Mac Cosmetics online or in stores.

2. Maybelline Fit Me Powder

At first I had a bit of a love hate relationship with this powder until I realised that a little goes a long way. If you use to much it tends to be a little drying and cakey. However a small amount of product sets foundation perfectly. This powder mattifys really well so I highly recommend it for oily skin.

I apply this powder with a Real Techniques Powder Brush.

This powder is available for £5.99 from Maybelline stands at Superdrug and Boots and online.

3.Collection 2000 Pressed Power is a super lightweight powder with a cheap and cheerful price tag. I think this Pressed Powder could easily give competition to some high end rivals. However it has that old school 90's makeup smell which some people may not like. I don't mind it as it reminds me of when my Aunt used to sneak and put a bit of her powder on me.

The only thing I don't like about this powder is the packaging, it looks very cheap and the cover often falls off.

This is a long lasting powder which is perfect for make up newbies, and something I think everyone should try.

I apply this product with a Real Techniques Powder Brush.

This product is available for £1.99 from Collection stands at Superdrug and Boots and Online.

I hope you guys enjoyed reading my top three series. 

Thanks for reading.

The Top Three Series: Foundation

Next in the series is foundation. Finding the perfect shade has got to be the trickiest thing about make-up. 

My top three tips are:

Never feel pressured to buy foundation.

Try to get a sample wherever possible.

After applying makeup try to view in natural light.

I have been through so much trial and error to try to find the right foundation shade because my skin is oily, I have yellow undertones and my face is a little darker than my neck and décolletage. 

I have had my foundation made me look yellow or too red or literally be sliding down my face but hey you live and you learn. With foundation I would say that high end doesn't always give you the best results it's just about what your skin loves.

I have found three foundations that I love and I would continue to purchase. 

1.Sleek Beauty Balm: I am in love with this product it is amazing. It leaves a dewy flawless finish. I have worn this foundation and strangers have come up to me in the street and asked what I'm wearing and have been in shock to learn that it's a Sleek foundation. This product offers medium to full coverage with ought being cakey and would be great for those with warm yellow undertones. I absolutely love this foundation and I will continue to repurchase.

The only negative is that there aren't many shades available, but if you do find a shade that matches you. I know you will be happy.

I use a Real Techniques Buffing brush to apply this foundation.

This product is available for £8.99 from the Sleek website, Superdrug and larger Boots and Tesco Stores.

2.Mac Studio sculpt:

This is a great foundation, it has a gel like consistency which allows you to create a even and flawless look. This foundation leaves a dewy finish so too ensure I don't look too shiny I use a mattifying primer      ( see previous post) and a lightweight powder. I have been reaching for this product recently because I am little darker so this foundation is the perfect match. I really like this product and wish it was a little less pricey but that's Mac products for you.

I use a Real Techniques Buffing brush to apply this foundation.

Studio Sculp foundation is available for £22.50 from Mac cosmetics online and in stores.

3.Mac Face and Body

This is a lightweight but buildable foundation almost like a tinted moisturiser. It is great for the summer because it still allows you skin to breathe through, if u have beauty spots or freckles that you would like to show through this would be perfect for you.

This foundation is water based so it's quite runny so it can be tricky to apply. I like to apply this foundation with my fingers or the Elf Powder brush.

This product is available to purchase for £27.00 from Mac cosmetics online and in stores.

Find the right foundation takes along time    So try to be patient and don't rush it.
