Makeup favourites

Hello everybody,

today I thought I might share my favourite makeup pieces with you.

I split it into four sections and today I will talk you through the first two. Section number one is for primers and section number two is face.
I will tell you a little about every product, starting from the left to the right.
So let's get started:

Number one: Primers
Yves Rocher "Fixing Eyelid Primer": before I found it I always had that problem that I would need a lot of eyeshadow to make it look like I got at least a little bit on my eyeslids but that won't last long. You don't even need much of it, it will last you ages. I take about the size of a chia seed.

trend it up "under eye concealer & base" (010): I always have dark places underneath my eyes so, I look like I haven't slept in three years. With this kind of pink-ish colour, my undereye area looks so much more awake than I actually am.

NYX Studio Perfect "Photo-Loving Primer" (SPP02 Green): I have got quite a lot red places on my face and when I get spots they just multiply so the perfect way of getting them covered up is this primer. On bad days I take about a pea size and the better my skin looks the less product I take.



 Number two: Face

NYX HD "Finishing Powder" (HDF01 Translucent): let me tell you this powder is a lifesaver. It's so light but still so powerful. Your make up automatically lasts longer but you don't even look like you've got any powder on top.

Smashbox "Sunkissed Matte Bronzer" (Light Skin): you have no idea how long I was looking for a matte bronzer and I finally found one. This find was lifechangeing. Especially when you want to look a bit more sunkissed during the colder months. If you want to wear bronzer and you only have a sparkely one better leave it. It will look so weird and everybody will comment "You sparkle, why?" and explaining your situation to everyone drives you mad so better use matte.

NYX HD "Studio Photogenic Concealer" (CW01 Porcelain): this concealer with the anti-redness primer is perfect. And if you feel like not using a foundation this concealer will cover up any blemishes.

Astor "Perfect Stay Concealer" (001 Ivory): This is the perfect under-eye concealer. It's a bit lighter than my foundation. I will put a triangle of three dots underneath my eye, the top pointing towards my cheek. It makes you look much more awake and it doesn't crumble. It is supposed to last 24 hours but I can't assure you on that, I haven't tried myself.

NYX "stay matte but not flat" liquid foundation (SMF01 Ivory): this foundation has an amazing coverage but it does not feel heavy on your skin. It is oil free, water based, mineral enriched and gives you a matte finish and as far as I can judge this all these statements are true.

NYX "Baked Blush" (BBL09 Journey): I would describe the colour as a dusky pink and if you haven't got time in the morning this is a gamechanger. It's not only a blusher but also a bronzer and illuminator. It gives you face more depth with little effort.

Essence "me & my umbrella" (01 you can stand under my umbrella): this matte blusher is perfect for autumn. It has quite a light peach colour and it's very pigmented.

Manhattan "Tender Touch" (fresh peach 53N): this is my go to blusher. It looks very fresh, feels very soft and is extremely pigmented.


 I hope you enjoyed it and I will see you again next week with section number three and four.

Love, Steff xx
