I wear Collection powder, Rimmel Exaggerate liquid eyeliner, Rimmel Bold curves or Benefit mascara, Body Shop kohl eyeliner and neutral/smoky eyeshadows from an unknown palette :tongue:
Not a fan of foundation, but I wear an Avon cream to powder one that's fab :biggrin:
Right now my daily makeup routine is:

Primers: urban decay matte primer potion, bare minerals oil control primer, MAC undereye primer (I am out of the house at least 12 hours a day, in Madrid, with burning heat. This combo is actually working for me!

Face: MAC prolongwear concealer and rimmel stay matte powder. Sometimes I use foundation, either MUFE HD or Loreal true match. Blush: Either my sleek by 3, milani luminoso baked blush, or MAC springsheen. Bronzer: revlon bronzer, don't remember the name!

Eyes: UD Naked 3 or Lorac PRO or Sleek au naturel. Mascara: Maybelline Big eyes or maybelline the rocket, or my current favourite Loreal Miss Manga. (Most days I just apply mascara and go out the door, no time for eyeshadows).

Aaaand yeah that's more than enough.
concealer - mac studio sculpt
eye shadow - switching between a sleek and a neutral mua pallete atm
eyeliner - collection 2000

For covering my face and evening out skin tone/blemishes I use really cheap natural collection concealer and powder. It's cheap, but it also doesn't make my skin itch. I use the Avon natural eye shadow pallet. No7 eyeliner pen and 17 mascara. I also use a toffee flavor bronze lip gloss by barry M. I love light make up that doesn't clog my pores up :biggrin:

I like to switch up the products in my collection but mostly I wear Smashbox primer and Benefit's Porefessional, L'Oreal Nude Magique Eau de Teint foundation, Rimmel Stay Matte powder, Seventeen Phwoar Paint or Collection concealer. I use Nars Laguna bronzer, Mac Omega eyeshadow to fill in my brows, Eyeko eyeliner and L'oreal telescopic mascara.
My favourite lipstick is the Rimmel Moisture Renew in Vintage Pink. Eyeshadows and blushes I have too many to name.

I do have more but those are the products I reach for most :smile:

Generally I don't wear makeup but I use lipstick or lipgloss daily. When I do wear makeup e.g. night out or special occasion;
-concealer is a must as I have dark circles
-L'Oreal true match liquid foundation
-eyeshadow from my sleek palette
-lipstick! Always wet n wild megalast and my fav colour is sugar plum fairy

I don't tend to wear mascara as I rub my eyes a lot.

Plus my foundation shade is w9.5. Finding the right shade for darker skin tones is a struggle. I'm trying to look for another foundation, I heard Lancôme and YSL are good. Suggestions please?

I bought it like a year ago and have barely used 20% of it. It lasts ages and is really fine. It's perfect for my skin tone too. I think it's worth the money. It was like 22 quid for the bigger tub. It'll last me definitely over another year or two.

It's loose though so a bit messy.


Where'd you get it from? Any shops/places in england or wales that sell it?

I don't know what skin type you are etc but Becca has a huge range of shades and a couple different types of foundation?

I hate how makeup like Benefit especially is more expensive here than in USA. For example, the Benefit They're Real! Mascara here are £19.50 here but in USA £13. Even that £6 makes a difference.
I use garnier concealer but I've been hearing a lot of people using the collection 2000 one - does anyone who currently uses it recommend it?

I use the collection 2000 lasting perfection in the palest shade and I have to say it's really quite good for the price. I'd never used collection 2000 before but I've found it works for me! It covers well and you don't have to use a lot :smile:
i use the mabelline lip color and fragrance
