My Drugstore Everyday Makeup Essentials

Well hello there, 

Today I bring to you a new blog post revolving around my current drugstore everyday beauty essentials.

1. Starting with the base of any makeup look, FOUNDATION 

I have been using Maybelline Fit Me foundation in the colour 220 (natural beige) for the past half a year now. This foundation has medium coverage and is also easily build-able. The colour suits my skin tone perfectly, and I haven't been able to find another foundation like this yet. Personally, I don't like a heavy coverage foundation so with this foundation I only use 1 pump and I mix it with 1 pump of my current moisturiser. I use the Zoeva Buffer Face Brush in 104 to blend my foundation into my skin, I absolutely LOVE this brush for foundation as it provides an almost airbrushed finish. If you haven't got this brush in your collection you are definitely missing out!!

2. Hiding those under eye circles and brightening up the face, CONCEALER 

This is a new addition to my collection, and it is hands down the BEST concealer I have used to this day. It was hard stepping away from my beloved Collection 2000 concealer I used to use that for years, but sadly it has now been replaced by Maybelline Eraser Concealer, I use this is in the shade Nude. The spongy applicator is the best thing to have been invented it just blends out the concealer seamlessly. Now that the base is completed, I set the whole thing with a translucent powder from Rimmel. 

3. 3 things 'e', EYEBROWS/EYELINER/EYELASHES 

 

This has got to be my perfect eye duo. Again, I can't seem to move away from my beloved gel eyeliner from Maybelline. This eyeliner has a very creamy formula and is so easy to apply, the best thing about the eyeliner is that it comes with a brush which is also easy to use. I also use this eyeliner to lightly fill in my eyebrows. Which may be strange to some of you, but trust me in takes 30 seconds for me to do which is useful. I still need to go out and buy an eyebrow pencil but at the moment with uni work I have no time. Don't worry Anastasia Beverly Hills I am coming for you soon!!

If you have not yet tried Maybelline Falsies Mascara you need to go out and purchase this ASAP! It is THE best mascara I have used to this day. The curved wand, fits the eyelashes perfectly, providing enough volume and length to your already prepped and curled eyelashes. It just holds the lashes perfectly, giving you that 'false lash effect' the name of this mascara holds it part. 

4. Creating that perfect sculpt, CONTOUR & HIGHLIGHT

 

 This product is a true bargain, at only £6.49 the Sleek Face Contour Kit in medium is my go to product. This bronzer is no doubt the perfect shade for me, luckily I am blessed with cheekbones so with this I can go in lightly with the bronzer to enhance my features or I could also build the bronzer up to give a much more sculpted look. The highlight is a perfect light gold shade, which adds the perfect amount of glow to the overall look I am just OBSESSED with this highlight. I use the contour brush from Real Techniques Core Collection Kit, which is the perfect size to get into the hollows of the cheekbones.

 

5. Adding in that pop of colour, BLUSHER

I bought this Zoeva 'Sun Power' Bronzer and Blush Palette back in summer, so unfortunately it is no longer available on the website. These blushes are highly pigmented which means they will last a lifetime. Most of the time I like to mix blush colours together to get a unique shade. This is the best palette if you are a beginner with makeup as it has most of the classic blusher shades in one palette and is easy to transport around. 

6. Lastly, the 'My lips but better', LIP-LINER & LIPSTICK

 

My current favourite lip combo to date is using Rimmel Exaggerate in Eastend Snob and Mac Plink! lipstick which is a lustre finish formula. This combo for me is a 'my lips but better' everyday neutral look and I just can't stop using both the products!!

And that concludes my drugstore everyday beauty essentials!!
