I fancy a revamp and am currently making a list.

face prep - L’Oréal Glotion

foundation - stick with my No 7 hydraluminous as I do like this. Could be tempted by something better though but not found anything else I love enough.

concealer - elf hydrating camo concealer

blusher - kosas multi stick cream

bronzer - nars laguna

powder- Charlotte tilbury flawless finish

highlighter - rhode highlight milk

eyeshadow - mac multi sculpt

lipstick - mac , pretty much only have Mac lipsticks

eyeliner - nyx jumbo eye pencil, love these.

mascara - l’oreal volume million lashes , still my favourite

setting spray - One Size powder melt

Am I missing anything amazing?

I’m very old but I felt like I’d had an immediate update when I tried a lip oil. Following a thread on here I bought a couple of Elf ones.

I’ve never tried lip oil but have noticed on some makeup videos I saw recently that people are using it over their lip stick. I’ll add a lip oil to the shopping list 👍😀

Watching with interest! Do you use any eyebrow products? The No 7 eyebrow stylo (with brush at one end and twist up colour stick on the other) is very good and handy for Boots 3 for 2 with your hydroluminous foundation.

Tinted lip balm when you want an understated lip look - Burt's Bees do a good range. Also Nivea.

Cream eyeshadow which is a low maintenance way of swiping on some colour quickly - I have Maybelline Tattoo and Barry M.

I also like L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes - think I will go back to that. Currently using L'Oreal Paradise Big Deal but it flakes!

Yes. Forgot this. I use Sephora eyebrow gel which seems good. I also get them tinted
