A variation on the 'what are you wearing threads'? Curious to know what people actually use day to day - products/brands etc

I am wearing:
Clinque city block 25 (which is a great primer IMO)
Boots No 7 Lift and Illuminate Foundation (the second palest one)
Boot No 7 Soft Damson blusher
Bobbi Brown 'Bisque' concealer (amazing stuff)
Revlon Lipbutter 'Candy Apple' (love it Thanks to all who recommended it on various threads)

I don't do anything with eyes for daytime.

I feel like the person on the outfit threads wearing jammies and Uggs Sad

Kikithecat · 17/04/2013 13:51

None.
Oops, better get back to a suitable board.

Well, I started going for "au naturel" and accidentally strayed into "seductive" this morning (I was listening to an interview with Eva Green the actress, thought about how she has smoky eye make up a lot and ended up doing it).

So, the sparkly Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser
Nars multiple blusher in Portofino
MAC paint tube-y whatist in Painterly as a base for eye shadow (it helps eye shadow to stick all day)
Rimmel Exaggerate eye liner in black on the upper lids
MAC eyeshadow in a matt taupe
MAC eyeshadow in more of a sparkly taupe colour
2000 calorie mascara in black
a bit of the Guerlain bronzer stuff
and (when I left the house, but now long gone) MAC lipstick in lustering (a bright pink).

Mac lipstick in Ruby Woo. I don't normall wear red lippy but this one suits me and since having a tooth fixed I've decided to show off my mouth!

Urban Decay eyeshadow primer potion
Smashbox primer(freebie sample)
Dior Diorskin Nude foundation
Chanel translucent pressed powder
Bobbi Brown pot rouge in blushed rose
No7 taupe eyeshadow
brown eyeshadow from a Dior 5 colour palette
Smashbox waterproof shadow liner
L'oreal telescopic mascara
Discontinued shade of Eliz Arden lipstick which if I'm lucky I can occasionally find on the internet

Quite surprised how many products I use for everyday makeup but have found the older I get(49) I actually need more makeup to stop me looking drained and colourless although have to be more subtle with eyeshadow colours. Have worn makeup most days for almost 35 years, wonder how many thousands I've spent on it!?

GetWhatYouNeed · 17/04/2013 17:16

O and forgot Dior skinflash under eye concealer to add to my list.

Not keen on the Benefits mascara as it seems to make my eyelashes stick together. Does anyone else have this problem or is it me?

roundtable · 17/04/2013 17:53

Smashbox illuminating primer
Estée Lauder double wear bronze
Mac blotting powder dark
Estée Lauder double wear lengthening mascara
Estée Lauder blusher (can't remember the colour)
Estée Lauder lipstick luminous lilac
I would normally be wearing a double wear eyebrow pencil but I'm getting eyebrows threaded today so I've left them.

I'm ridiculously brand loyal it seems but it's the only make up that stays on my face well and I'm a sahm to 2 boys under 18 months so I don't really have time to reapply!

I do mix it up with eyeshadows and lipsticks/glosses though. Love Chanel as an alternative.

I don't have Nars or Bobby Brown where I live but I love their stuff too.
