Kiehls bb cream for everyday or Armarni Luminous silk foundation when I can be bothered.
Benefit mascara (like them all, currently using the Rollergirl one).
Tarte 'Fearless' blusher.
Mac Velvet Teddy or Kat Von D Lolita lipstick (hate the name, great colour).

MiaowMix · 23/10/2018 18:35

Ooh good thread. I've refined mine and really happy with this lot:
Skin: Garnier BB in medium. Or Bobbi Brown tinted moisturiser. No foundation ever.
Brows by benefit
Mascara: anything!
Bronzer YSL Les Sahariennes or benefit Hoola
Lipsticks by Chanel or lipstick Queen who do a fantastic range
That's it. Suits my olive complexion

LipstickHandbagCoffee · 23/10/2018 18:44

Rodial?i got a free rodial kohl eyeliner with a magazine it was superb quality

MiaowMix · 23/10/2018 18:56

Yes Rodial. Love it ✏️

Ruby55n · 23/10/2018 19:13

Inglot eyeliners (the ones in pots) are fabulous for staying power and come in a wide variety of colours, from black to yellow! The colour pigment is rich and stays put all day. I also love Helen E Cosmetics' pigment powder in No. 29 - a lovely, iridescent rose gold which you can add water to to up the intensity. Finally, Freedom cosmetics are fantastic quality for the price and are just as good (and often better) than many of the high-end cosmetics. Their eye palettes give great colour pay-off.

@LipstickHandbagCoffee
I have an office at home which had basically became half office space, half vanity and walk in wardrobe.
The typical Alexa drawers for makeup from IKEA, light up mirror, shelves for eyeshadow palettes, very cute cushioned white swivel desk chair. Came home one day to find my husband had turned the bland office into a beauty type room and even bought some makeup canvases off Etsy and such.
He's a good one. I might keep him. 😛

I may post pics when it isn't a mess.

GeoEm · 23/10/2018 21:14

Sorry for continued posting I meant Alex drawers and thanks everyone for comments.
I'm definitely gonna check out a few.

I am new to NM and have no idea how (or if I even can) edit a post after I've made it.

LipstickHandbagCoffee · 23/10/2018 21:19

Can’t edit posts,once posted that’s it
You can request the mods delete a post,takes time isn’t instantaneous
And if you get too lively you may get a post deleted
But tbh there’s no action on style & beauty.no arguements about best B.B. creams

RavenLG · 23/10/2018 22:12

NYX BB cream, but you can't get it in the UK. I sometimes find it online for cheap (£20 a tube) it's the only BB cream I like.

I've recently started using NYX control drop foundation, it goes on very well (very runny and light, but it builds up for good coverage well if you need it) but I got a shade or two too light and look like a ghost.

Rimmel Exaggerate eye liner. I've used it for years, I often sway away and I'm ALWAYS disappointed and let down. It's mainly the applicator I love.

madmomma · 23/10/2018 22:26

Kiko mascara in the gold tube, bobbi brown undereye corrector and concealer, nyx concealer pencil, Mac bronzer, Chanel neutral eye pallette, nars audacious lipsticks in various shades, Mac lipliners
