My Current "go-to" Makeup


Hello, how are we all? Me? Well, apart from nearly drowning in my dissertation, I am good. 
I thought I'd show you my current "go-to" face look, as this is quickly becoming the only way I do my face! It's pretty quick and obviously I change up the odd thing but in general it looks mostly like this!

Base:

Primer: Benefit Porefessional and Benefit High Beam on the areas I want highlighted.
Foundation: MAC Face and Body in N3 *this is one of the products which changes according to my mood and what I have planned for that specific day.
Concealer: Collection Lasting Perfection in 1 'Fair' and MAC Studio Finish in NC20 on blemishes.
Powder: Because I used Face and Body, I had to powder the shit out of my face, so, I used Rimmel Stay Matte in 001 'Transparent'.
Blusher/Bronzer: To bronze I used Benefit Hoola and took the brush it comes with (which is well worth keeping hold of - one of my favourites to contour with, especially seen as the Nars Contour brush was limited edition) to contour. Then as blusher, my new love, MAC Sheertone Shimmer Blush in 'Springsheen'

Eyebrows:

This was the first time I used Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade in 'Medium Brown'. I used the No.12 brush by Anastasia too. Safe to say I am in love!!

Eyes:

Primer: ELF Eyelid Primer in 'Sheer' (this stuff is the bomb and it's only £1.95).
Eyeshadow: Two matte shades from the Smashbox Full Exposure Palette - M2 and M3. Both are just blended with the brush it comes with through the crease.
Eyeliner: L'Oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim - I love the pen but hate the product, it transfers everywhere
Mascara: After using my Primark eyelash curlers I used Benefits new Roller Lash mascara which I adore!! It does everything I want and more.

Lips:

Lip Balm: Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour cream but in the lipstick form
Lip colour: ELF Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick in 'Sangria Starters' and ELF Studio Matte Lip Colour in 'Praline' (which I think has been discontinued).



And finally a picture of me being a dick with my camera.... yeah well...But it does show how awesome Benefit's Roller Lash mascara is! (Insert emoji with girl with her hand up.)


Hopefully I'll be able to make more time for my blog over the next few months. 
Lots of love C xxx
