Looking for inspiration to shake up my current routine! 🙈
Currently:
Garnier summer body applied every other night
Marc jacobs remarcable foundation
Rimmel stay matte powder
Mac warm soul blush
Makeup revolution bronzer
Primark pro definition mascara (better than ANY expensive one I've ever used!!)
Mac pattiseire lipstick
Rimmel lipgloss not sure of colour
Rimmel brow pencil in dark brown

Been using this routine for donkeys and looking to shake it up with some new products - anyone got any holy grails to recommend?

I also love hearing other people's makeup routines so also partly being nosey 😊

I love it when people come on to a thread about makeup to scoff. I always wonder if they do the same on other topics.
Dogs - I don't have time to walk them
Cats - too creepy
TV show - why waste your time watching this rubbish
Books - paper hurts my hands
Parenting - children are annoying
Relationships - other people are yucky

FluffySlippers21 · 22/03/2018 22:08

@zacharyquack 😂😂😂 love it!!

Stila foundation - adore the bottle and way it dispenses, coverage good but oxidises slightly so could do with a lighter shade. Haven't used the inbuilt concealer.

Neutral eyeshadow - currently Stila, usually Mac or Bourjois - I love the individual Bourjois ones
Rimmel liquid eyeliner
Stila Major Major mascara
Benefit Posie tint blush (sometimes)
NYX lip thingy (might be lip butter, looks like a liquid lipstick) in Prague, a purpley pink

I love Stila and I love NYX.

LyannaStarktheWolfMaid · 22/03/2018 22:24

Every day: (don’t know all of the brands because i don’t pay attention, tend to go a bit mid range with a few high end items)

Moisturise
Concealer on eyes, laugh lines, blemishes
Eyebrow pencil - triangle shaped tip one, is new and I love it
Powder to set these - Bare Minerals
Eye liner, lots of, top lid only
Cream blush, this is Clinique, I love it to death, like a fat stick
Mascara, Loriel?
Very rarely use lip products, I wear glasses so go for a big eyes look.
Wear this daily.

Have lovely Chanel eyeshadow for when I’m going out, plus various shimmer/ highlighty things

MinaPaws · 22/03/2018 22:30

Rimmel naturals palette eyeshadow
Rimmel lipstick or YSL lipstick both in rose/raspberry colours
Maybelline Xtreme mascara
Rimmel blonde brow gel
Collections (Superdrug own brand?) matte bronzing powder

Ski40 · 22/03/2018 22:38

I don't have a preferred brand and tend to impulse buy and experiment a lot.
I'm very pale, with (dyed) platinum blonde hair and blue eyes so heavy make up doesn't suit me- though I love it on others.

I love glittery, shimmery makeup and because of my colouring tend to stick to pinks and apricot shades. Sometimes I use a baby blue glittery pencil in the lower inner lids. And in the evening I love bright red lipstick, though now as a mum of three small children I am struggling to find occasions to use it haha.

Lately I am using Diamond Crushers on top of my normal lipsticks for extra sparkle. They are gorgeous.
However- I'm currently going through a phase of thinking more about the ethical and health cost of traditional makeup and when most of my current products run out I will be researching cruelty free make up brands. Any suggestions welcome!
For beautiful and varied makeup tutorials I watch Zabrena in Youtube. Gorgeous!

yikesanotherbooboo · 22/03/2018 22:54

I don't always wear makeup although I do love it.
Today;
Bobbi Brown and Laura mercier concealer
Laura mercier candle glow foundation
Clinique colourless powder( compact)
Laura mercier eyebrow pencil
Laura mercier caviar stick neutral base eyeshadow then Charlotte tilbury eye shadow crayon
Clinique mascara
Clinique lip gloss

I am trying to do without eye liner and to make more of an effort with eye shadow at the moment.

TheDishRanAwayWithTheSpoon · 22/03/2018 22:57

I normally use:
No 7 primer
Clinique anti-redness foundation (although I'm not that keen)
Collection setting powder
Bobbi Brown concealer + bourjois radiance concealer
Bourjois bronzed and blushed
Balm cosmetics highlight
Freedom brow pomade (which I find is a really good dupe for the ABH one)
Natural collection clear mascara on my brows to set them
Body shop eyeshadow or some bronzer
Bourjois black liquid eyeliner or nyx brown pencil + mascara
Then bourjois nudey pink lipstick or a maybelline Matt nude
Nyx dewy setting spray
I change my lipstick and eyeshadow around a lot but if I'm in a rush I just do some bronzer and the bourjois nudey pink (i think it's dusky rose?)
For a night out I use sleek eyeshadow in bronzey gold colours and bourjois peach club Matt lipstick which I also use in the summer
And sometimes I use collection contour stick as well
It seems like a lot but it takes me about 10 minutes with winged eyeliner. I wish I could try out more expensive brands. I try to spend money on foundation and nothing else, but often find that the cheapest brands like collection, natural collection, freedom, mua etc. Can be just as good as the more expensive boots stuff so what's the point? I really like bourjois and getting all the same brand means I can get the 3 for 2 deals so that's always a plus Grin

McDougal · 22/03/2018 23:03

Most of the time:

MAC Pro Longwear foundation
MAC Pro Longwear concealer
ELF translucent setting powder
Make Up Revolution eyebrow pomade
ELF eye primer
Max Factor liquid eyeliner
Make up revolution mascara (curl one??)
Rimmel blusher
Barry M bronzer
Make Up Revolution highlighter

It looks like a lot but take five minutes. I switch up foundation between MAC and ELDW. I might make more effort with my eye make up if I can be arsed too Grin

Ollivander84 · 22/03/2018 23:27

We could be here a while with mine Grin
I don't wear them all at once but my fave brands

Foundation - tarte hydrating, dollish veil vita BB cream, MUFE HD

This is my everyday stuff Blush I have a 8 drawer unit in the bathroom with other stuff

Deathraystare · 23/03/2018 10:28
