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.

Hd Brows for gappy bits and also doubles up as great eyeliner

No mascara as I have just had LVL done on my lashes which is amazing.

I want to wear make up!!! I have never ever put make up on my face during the day but love all the boxes and pots and brushes...
But now I'm getting on a bit I think I probably should and desperately crave being a 'made up' person...
Would BB cream be an ok start as a 'booster' for a freckly person?

lancome fuscia breva lippy blotted right down on lips and as cream blush,

  • Lily Lolo foundation and finishing powder (tinted veil stuff)

  • ELF baked blusher in peach
  • Avon ultraviolet glimmer stick to line eyes (have discovered this colour really makes my hazel eyes stand out)
  • MUA undressed 2 palette eyeshadows (soft grey matt/ shimmer) - have just started wearing grey eyeshadow and its really flattering. who knew?
  • Bourjois Sweet kiss lipstick in Prune caress (red benetint sort of colour) I really like these lipsticks - they are more like a well tinted glaze/ stain but buildable. Feel lovely on lips and cheap on ebay

Oh glad I asked! Made a few notes of new things to try.

LottieLaBouff I love the detail in your eye make up description - I usually just rub on something brown - inspired now to make more effort Smile

MAC spf 50 primer
Jouer Matte Moisture Tint, which is more if a foundation than a tinted moisturiser.
MAC mineralise skinfinish natural powder
A Lioele brow powder I got from eBay from Korea. It's perfect.
Nars Orgasm blush
Dior waterproof retractable eyeliner in brown.
a Boots 17 Mascara, it's great. I really don't rate high end mascara's over cheap ones. Apart from the packaging.
Rimmel Apocolips liquid lipstick thingy in a bright pink. Love these. Beats the YSL and Hourglass versions I've tried.
