As I’ve said before, finding the time for makeup these days is next to impossible. My routine needs to be quick and easy and able to be done in five minutes before a baby is demanding my attention again! I’ve collaborated with Boots to share my current 5 makeup must haves with you.
My first two must have products go hand in hand. Having a perfect base is a must for me to try and cover up the dark circles and dull skin from hundreds of sleepless nights. I really struggled for years to find the perfect products to achieve this though. Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Foundation is my ultimate favourite foundation. There’s actually a shade pale enough for my ghostly skin and the coverage is medium to full with out being cakey or heavy. You don’t need to use a major amount of product to get the required coverage so each bottle lasts for a reasonable time as it is quite a splurge for foundation.
Tarte’s Shape Tape concealer has been top of my must have list since I tried it. I recommend it to everyone. The coverage is second to none and the shade fair is absolutely perfect for my pale complexion. You can barely see my under eye bags and dark circles once this is applied and it does a pretty good job at covering blemishes too.
I love warm toned shadows for everyday and the NYX Professional Makeup Ultimate Shadow Palette in Warm Neutrals is my go to. I’m always blown away by the quality of NYX products, they’re so affordable for such good quality. The palette has a good mix of mattes and shimmers so whether you have five minutes to blend a bronzey tone through your crease or half an hour to play with makeup and create a beautiful eye look this palette really does have something for everyone.
My final two must have makeup products again go hand in hand, NYX Professional Makeup’s Epic Ink Eyeliner and Worth the hype mascara. Two products made for hiding tired eyes. I’m normally awful when it comes to applying eye liner but the Epic Ink Eyeliner makes it so easy! The tip is the perfect thickness to work with and once applied this eye liner lasts throughout the day.
NYX PMU’s Worth the hype mascara has been one of my favourite mascaras for a couple of months now. It’s a buildable mascara that lasts all day, even with only one coat. I will say it runs slightly if you get completely drenched in the rain, but what non waterproof mascara doesn’t? Again this is so affordable so it’s well worth giving a go if you’re on the hunt for a new mascara.
