Beauty : Summer into Fall Make up MUST HAVE (Sept 2015)

Hiee there,

Seeing as it's turning from Summer - Autumn at the moment,

I figured it'd be quite good to share with you some of my 'must-have'

when it comes to make up & WHY they work during these transition of seasons.

No.1 - Loreal Infallible 24hr Matte Foundation (Natural Rose) 

Pros:

* It's semi-matte meaning it still gives a slight glow just right to make you look radiant but not oily.

*The coverage of this foundation is med-high.

*Last throughout the day & even longer if you have a primer underneath.

*Does not dry your skin out like some matte foundations do.

* Squeeze tube, light & travel friendly.

*Does not oxidize on your face after a period of time.

*Certainly does not feel light on your skin but it does not feel heavy either.

Cons:

*If you have dry patches, it will cling onto it - TIP : Moisturize your skin beforehand.

*There is only 6 shades available for this range - difficult to find colour match.

*Price? (Despite it being a drugstore foundation & the good things about it - it's quite worth it).

No.2 : Make up Revolution Baked Highlighter (Golden Lights) 

Pros: 

*Similar to 'Mary Loumanizer' from The Balm but a more drug-store alternative. 

*Provides an iridescent glow without any glitter .

*Super pigmented so this pan will last me quite a while to finish.

*Suitable for 'strobing' effect or just light highlight for everyday use.

*Easy to be picked up by brush

*Price

*Comes in 3 different shades for different undertones.

Cons:

*Can be easily overdone so apply thinly & build up the amount you want.

*It can be quite intense so for people with oily skin, if applied correctly it can look alright - otherwise, it can make your face appear even more oilier . 

*Packaging is quite basic - plastic. 

No.3 : Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer (Warm Medium)

Pros:

*Famous all time drugstore concealer in the UK for it's high coverage.

* Now comes in cool or warm tone shades to suit your undertones better

*Price

*Great to cover up acne scars or acne/blemishes

*Easy to blend.

Cons:

*A lil bit too heavy for under the eyes

*Cling to dry patches (not the most moisturising concealer out there)

*Packaging rubs off easily

No.4 : Sleek Face Contour Kit. 

Pros:

*Sleek packaging & it looks classy.

*Comes with a bronzer ,highlighter & a coral blush.

*Price - worth the amount & quality of product that you get.

*All 3 are super pigmented

*The bronzer suits my skin tone best as a contour shade so if it suits you too, perfect. :)

*Super long-wearing

*Easily blended 

Cons:

*The blush can be a bit too much because it isn't matte. It has some light reflecting shimmers in there so if you're using it - it adds on for a blush & a highlight to your cheeks which I guess is good.

No.5 : Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balms.

Pros:

*Tints are build-able on your lips depending on how much colour do you want.

*Glides on easily with a twist up tube

*Packaging looks adorable

*Great for a 'my lips but better' kind of lip colour.

*Great for someone starting out on make up if you're not use to using lipsticks straight up.

*Does hydrate your lips 

*Feels light on your lips.

Cons:

*As it wears off, it can appear a little patchy

* Clings on to dry patches of your lips

*Hydration only last a couple of hours before it wears off.

So those are the 5 things I'd recommend to have for a simple make up must have.

1) A great foundation that lasts all day & keeps you looking matte but still with a slight glow from within.

2) A highlighter that will enhance your radiance and make you look awake & fresh.

3) Concealer to help cover up those blemishes & redness of the skin.

4) Blush & Bronzer to give you more colour to your skin & contour giving you that summer glow.

5) A light refreshing lip balm to seal the look .
