Now I absolutely love makeup, I have been wearing it every day since I was about 13. In fact I love it so much, I don’t even come downstairs without any on! And I wouldn’t dream of opening the front door or stepping out of the house without my face on!

As I have so much makeup I will just share my everyday makeup or we will be here for days.

Face Makeup

I have tried pretty much every foundation none to man and change it every time I have finished the bottle. Until I came across this Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. I can not rate this highly enough, it is sheer, light but also long lasting. I wear the 5.5 but at Selfridges you can chose from 21 different colours. I am 40 years old now and suffer with age spots, and redness in my skin, but also it is very dry. This foundation goes on smoothly, covers all the redness without it feeling caked on. It is not the cheapest foundation though at about £42 per bottle. I am now on my second bottle of this and can not imagine changing it!

Cheeks

This is my second favourite purchase after the Giorgio Armani foundation. I absolutely adore this Urban Decay, Naked Skin Shapeshifter palette. On one side there are 5 cream colours great for colour correcting, contouring and highlighting. On the other side there are powders that complement the creams. Honestly it is fantastic. As it has been cleverly designed this unlike a lot of palettes fits in my daily makeup bag. I use it every day and find it is very blendable. The cost of this is £39.50 but worth every penny, especially as I use this as a concealer as well as for contouring.

Eye Shadow

This is my favourite day to day eye shadow. It can be worn either quite dark or sometimes I will only wear the lighter colours. I love the fact it comes with a little brush so again it is compact enough to fit into my makeup bag. I think I have had this a couple of years and I now can’t find it in stock. But if you follow this link to another one which is slightly bigger it has similar colours in.

Eye Liner and Mascara

I am not overly precious when it comes to eye liner and mascara, and don’t have to have a certain brand as you can see! But currently in my bag is the Lancome Grandiose Mascara and Eyeliner both in black, an Urban Decay Razor Sharp Liquid Eyeliner and a Body Shop Black eye pencil. I always use the pencil and mascara. Depending on my look I will either wear the black liquid eyeliner (my normal) or the brown sparkly one by Urban Decay.

Lips

It completely depends on what mood I am in when I wake up as to what I will wear on my lips. It will either be a nice bright red lipstick from Lancome or a sheer lipgloss. I am currently wearing Lancôme L’Absolu Gloss Cream Lip gloss, Caprice and Lancome Le Lip Liner, Caprice but more often than not as I am running around trying to do the school run I opt for the Dirty Works Skinny Dip Lip Gloss

Mirror

I always have a mirror in my make up bag just in case. This Vera Wang, Wedgewood Compact Mirror was a Christmas gift from my beautiful and thoughtful husband.
