I can highly recommend Bobbi Brown smokey eye mascara. I always used Lancôme then changed to Benefit They’re real but am totally converted to BB now. Only downside is that it’s not waterproof.

Oh forgot foundation!! Def Bobbi Brown foundation stick or their new skin weightless foundation (applied with their foundation round brush which is amazing!). I follow Hannah Martin on Instagram, she’s a BB pro artist, love the natural look of BB. 😀

I love all lancome mascaras, particularly Hypnose Drama.

I also use Estee Lauder Doublewear. I've tried so many others but none have had the coverage and staying power. Bare Minerals is a potential option but it takes longer to apply as you have to build it up in layers. A nice option if you want days with lighter coverage though!

Charlotte Tilbury ‘Full Fat Lashes’ is excellent- really does lift and curl!

And foundation wise- I have fairly oily skin which definitely needs good coverage and I use Chanel Perfection Lumiere. Buffs into a nice powdery finish but it’s not matte, still has a fresh glow!

Guerlain "cils d'infer". The brush scoops and spreads lashes slightly, so you can really do the whole spread, it's nice to apply and it lasts for ages.

I've just gone on to double wear but used Dior ForeverSkin for years before that, it was a nice texture and not too heavy and lasted quite well. Good coverage, too. Unfortunately I have the thirstiest skin known to man and Double Wear plus a tonne of product and moisturiser under it is the only thing that stays put on my desert face or I probably wouldn't have swapped.
