MY MAKEUP BAG FAVOURITES

Hi Internet, today I'm going to share a few of my favourites from my makeup bag, so let's get started! Some of them are high street and some are more designer! Enjoy!



Primer
I've only recently started to use primer so I have only tried a sample of the clinique super primer. It makes my makeup stay on all day and makes it easier to blend, so for the only primer I have tried, I'd say its pretty good! If I can afford it on my crappy mcdonalds wages I will definitely purchase the full size!
Buy it here- £20

Foundation
For everyday use I mix together my revlon colorstay and Rimmel wake me up foundation. The mix of these two colours is perfect for my skin tone. I use the shade true Ivory in the wake me up foundation which is too dark for me, poor pale me and I use 110 Ivory in colorstay. I just dab them both onto my skin and blend them in with my real technics brushes, I don't particularly agave a favourite brush to do this with but I find the real technics brushes really soft and they blend my foundation in really well.
You can buy these here- Colorstay is £12.49
Wake me up is £8.99 

For when I'm going out out I use my bobbi brown long-wear even finish foundation in the shade sand 2, this is a medium coverage foundation and is perfect for my skin tone. It looks really natural on your skin and you can either powder it or leave it on its own as it does have a matte finish. And as a bonus it has SPF 15!
You can buy this here - £31 

Concealer
I've yet to find a concealer I love, but I normally use the collection lasting perfection concealers or I use my colourstay foundation. Can you recommend me any good concealers? High street or designer?

Blush
Oh my god, I have just bought the most beautiful blush ever! It's Mac desert rose. And honestly it's the best purchase I have ever made. I'm in love with it. It gives a warm subtle glow to your cheeks and really makes them pop. I can see this working on any skin tone and can be worn day or night! Really really nice product! And I've only used it twice!
Grab it now! - £18

Bronzer
Internet I need your help!! I don't own a good bronzer, even a decent bronzer! And I'm crap at contouring, sos! Tweet me or comment what bronzers you love and any tips you have for contouring!

Eyeshadow and eye primer
My favourite eye primer by far is my Mac soft orchre paint pot! It's amazing, it lasts all day and makes your eyeshadow colours pop! It's a neutral colour so it blocks out all the veins on your eyelids. Honestly a saviour of a product! You all need it in your makeup bags!
Buy it here- £15.50
I recently only just bought cork from Mac too, but I can already tell that it's an absolute must have! All Mac eyeshadows blend perfectly and ugh! They're just amazing! Well played Mac, well played. I normally use it as a crease colour when I'm going for a subtle neutral look. I usually just use my paint pot and cork on a day to day basis. When I don't wake up late...
Buy it here- £13

Eyebrows
Oh dear, here comes the thing I struggle with the most. The dreaded eyebrows! I use my benefit brow zing pallet to fill them in, in the shade light and then go over them with my maybelline brow drama gel which helps them stay in place all day. I'm rubbish at doing eyebrows so might can either look 'on fleek' or slugs, there is no inbetween. I usually end up with one nice and one slug. Perfect.
Buy brow zing here- £24.50
Buy brow drama here- £4.99

Eyeliner
Again I haven't found an eyeliner that I'm in love with. I use my maybelline eye studio lasting drama gel liner but I find this difficult to use. Saturday night I used a felt tip eyeliner to draw the shape and then go over it in the gel, which I found easier but I'm still not in love with it. Although it does stay on all day long and doesn't budge! So that aspect of it is good!
Buy the gel liner here- £7.99

Mascara
Because I'm a poor Mcdonalds crew member I can't always afford to buy my favourite products as well as pay for my petrol, so I have tried to find drugstore versions of ones I like. My favourite mascara by far is the theyre real by benefit. Honestly this is amazing! I wish I had a little wand that could give it to everyone! But since I used all of that up I mix between the falsies and the rocket. And I love them both! The rocket is really great for bottom lashes! It has good separation. The falsies has amazing drama and makes my lashes seem so thick and full! I love it.
Buy theyre real here- £19.50
Buy the rocket here- £7.99
Buy the falsies here- £7.99

Lips
Oh where to begin? I've only started to dabble in lipsticks since September last year. So I don't own many. But my favourite has to be velvet teddy by mac, its a beautiful nude matte and it stays on for a long long time without lipliner. I only got this for christmas and don't wear lipsticks unless I'm going out, but so far so good!
Buy it here- £15.50
Ps its rumoured this is a shade that Kylie Jenner wears...


So that went on a lot longer than I expected it to, guess I just couldn't narrow it down... If you got this far you might as well follow me on twitter @sincerelyhblog smooth huh?
Anyway comment or tweet me some of you makeup favourites you think I should try out! Bye internet

Sincerely, Hollie x
