CURRENT EVERYDAY MAKEUP FAVOURITES: BASE PRODUCTS #1

Hello everyone! I know that i skipped out on doing an "april beauty favourites" post this month, but seeing as i haven't done an everyday makeup routine products post in a while, i thought why not combine the two together in two parts. This past month and this month so far i have pretty much been doing the same kind of look every single day and i am just obsessed with it, kicking things off with the base products i have been loving.


For the past week or so i have been trying out this setting spray from maybelline, which has been out for so long but i have never tried it before and i will use it before and after makeup. So far i am really enjoying it as well as setting sprays in general, i have also placed an order for a couple more to try out.

You will not be shocked to see this foundation in my everyday makeup routine, as i pretty much always opt for this foundation because it never lets me down. I love the coverage it gives me, the way it blends and the most important thing how long it sits on the skin, always looking freshly applied all day long. Another thing you won't be shocked at is that i always add in a couple of drops of the manuka doctor replenishing facial oil before applying to my face and blending out with a damp beautyblender.

So i first mentioned this concealer in my what i use to fill in my brows post, as well as my current three go-to concealers post as i like to use it for both. I love how this is more of a yellow based undertone concealer because it gives you that bright under-eye effect that i personally love. I know this concealer has has mixed reviews but i truly really enjoy reaching for it, but i suppose like any product it is down to personal preference.

Whilst on the subject of concealer, just recently i have really been getting into cream contouring a lot more and i had seen quite a few people using a darker shade concealer (mainly the l.a girl one). I have been switching between a few different cream contour products that i also love, so if you would like to see a separate post on that let me know on social-media and i will get on it! 


Now that i have gone in with all the liquid/cream type products, i like to set everything in place with powder starting with setting my under-eye area and my favourite powder ever is this one from rcma, i love how it keeps everything from creasing/moving and it doesn't change the colour of any product you have underneath unlike some powders. I don't really need to set a lot of the areas on my face as i do have dry skin, but i do set my under-eye area, forehead and chin.

Next as part of the setting process i will go ahead and set/bronze up the areas where i applied the cream contour areas. This particular bronzer has been a favourite of mine for so long and it is one i always end up reaching for again and again. This is also a great bronzer to use for a quick/simple bronze eyeshadow look.

Moving onto adding a flush of colour to the cheeks, by using my new favourite blush palette that i featured in my previous review/first impressions post after lusting after it in my updated makeup wishlist post. I have been reaching for this every single day since i got it and i honestly can't get over how beautiful it is, i simply take the two blush shades mixed together for a natural pink-y flush to the cheeks.

Finally for the base products i like to go in with my favourite step, of course highlight and i am really loving gold/bronze toned highlighter at the moment. This one from mac is simply stunning and allows you to really glow from within all the way up to the gods ha! This was a limited edition product a while back, but they added it into their permanent collection which i also have in the shade doublegleam.
