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.

MarianForrester · 17/04/2013 22:59

Aldi spf50 sunscreen

Revlon Age Defy with DNA foundation
benefit Boi-ng concealor
Lancome Blush Subtil in Miel Glacé (from recent trip to US)
Bobbi Brown coloured lip gloss
Rimmel mascara
Brown shade of eye shadow (not sure what it it....labelling worn off)

Lots of the mascara. At my age, I need it!

toffeefee · 18/04/2013 10:36

Clarins instant smooth self tan - amazing for a tiny bit of glow!
Bourjois Touche healthy mix concealer - a must!
Avon eye primer (I have very very dark eye lids and this helps to brighten them)
Very light dusting of Avon oil control translucent powder
No 7 blusher in soft damson
Max factor eye shadow in pale pebble
Maybelline great lash mascara

I am very pale with dark circles and although this sounds like a lot of make up helps even out my skin tones and make me look less scary to young children!! Grin I was a little scared when the make up counter lady bought out the pot of self tan as it looks so dark in the pot, but it is very sheer and just lifts the skin tone a little. I use it a couple of times a week to look a little healthier.

Viv try a bit of blush - works serious wonders for me (I just have light roses on cheeks)

VivClicquot · 19/04/2013 16:42

I've also got some benefit dandelion blusher which I use if I need to top up the Benetint, but open to blusher suggestions. Is the Nars multi-stick thing any good?

And general how-to-look-less-tired suggestions too!
