Hey everyone, so today I am writing about my 'every day face make up look' because whilst I do vary my make up look all the time, these are the items that recently, I do go to if i'm just going for a day time look. Some of these items are new but some of them have been in my daily routine for years...
Murad Skin Perfecting Primer | Chanel Perfection Lumiere Foundation | Mac Cosmetics Mineralize Powder in Medium-Dark | Clarins WonderPerfect Mascara | Rimmel Kohl Eyeliner in White | Mac Myth Lipstick | Dior Blush
Murad Skin Perfecting Primer - I actually got this product in my Cosmopolitan Blog Awards goodie bag, it's lasted me for ages and I use it every day. This is one of Murad's hybrid products which means it does more than just one thing, because it's made by a skin care brand, it means it's good for your skin and when i've researched it online it explains that it balances oil production, minimises the appearance of pores, creates a perfect skin tone match every time and includes light enhancing minerals to create a lustrous glow. To be honest, you could wear this by itself in Summer as a tinted moisturiser, I sometimes wear just this on my face and it looks like foundation. It's priced at £29.00 but it is an incredible product and is good for your skin.
Chanel Perfection Lumiere Foundation - I used to use Mac's foundations and swear by them, I still use them but i've taken a break from them and I do prefer the light yet radient finish that you get from using this foundation. It is expensive, around £36.00 if I remember rightly, but, you only need a drop or two and it is just so nice. Its a matte finish but it's still got a nice dewy glow to it and it really isn't heavy whatsoever on the face. It's so easy to wear.
Mac Cosmetics Mineralize Powder in Medium-Dark - I've been using this for years and no other powder is anything like it. This is good for your skin because it's minerals, it lasts for ages and you only need a tiny bit to cover the whole face. It gives my foundation a nicer colour but also it makes my make up stay on so much longer. I will never stop using this product!
Clarins WonderPerfect Mascara - I have been using this for ages, it is expensive for Clarins, it's £21.00 but, the tube is huge and glamorous and the results are epic every time, it gives the longest curliest but fullest lashes. I absolutely adore this product. It wakes you up instantly.
Rimmel Kohl Eyeliner in White - I've always been a big believer and wearer of black eyeliner, but as i've got older i've realised that it really doesn't suit me and it's too harsh for me. I was watching laurenbeautyy's YouTube videos and by the way, she is my complete idol when it comes to beauty tutorials now, everything that she wears is amazing so make sure you check her out - but I copied her tip and bought a white eyeliner for an every day look, as if you put it on the waterline at the bottom of your eye, it opens up your pupils and makes your eyes look wider and more awake. I feel like I can't live without this product now.
Mac Myth Lipstick - As you'll all know if you read my blog frequently, I adore Mac's myth lipstick. It's my go-to everyday lipstick for a natural nude lip. I feel more natural wearing this than I do when I just have bare lips. I love it.
Dior Blush - I only bought this recently but the colour is so so gorgeous and I adore it on a day to day basis. It gives such a pretty and girlie finish and you only need the tiniest bit. i've always been a bronzer fan but Dior have won me over, this is so much easier to wear than bronzer.
What are your day to day make up essentials?

DeleteI can't wear MAC's myth, it's too light for me, but it looks great on my friend! I think Chanel foundations are so luxurious, they are my favourite thing along with their nail polishes!

I didn't get along with Myth - it was way too light for my skintone, looked like I was going for the porn star look :-) That Dior blush looks gorgeous though!
