Benefit They're Real Mascara
Ex1 foundation for olive skin - finally a brand which recognises olive skin can be fair. It comes in a special tube which means you get all the product too, and it's only £12.50 a bottle.
Ex1 blusher in 'natural flush' - again, designed with olive skin in mind so I don't look too pink or red
Dermablend foundation - this bad boy covers everything - I have rosacea, melasma and severe dark circles and this hides it all.
L'oreal infallible concealers - best dark circle cover I've found, much cheaper than my old too faced concealer and better than the Ex1 concealer. Good shade range.
Makeup revolution primers are good, very affordable. I have dry skin with an oily nose so I can afford to buy a moisturising one for my face and a mattifying one for my nose. They also do some really nice £3 highlighters - I have a gold one and an insanely pigmented pinky rose gold one.
Lush has a really good 'does it all' cleanser called ultrabland - it's great for dry skin, combination skin and oily skin.
Urban decay naked eyeshadow palettes are good, I'm loving naked honey which I got for Christmas. I love Huda Beauty's mauve obsessions palette too - in normal times I do my eyeshadow on the train to work so her small palettes are perfect.
You've all inspired me to go and put some makeup on for the second time since lockdown started!
