Quick plug: don't forget to follow me on Bloglovin, right here!
Back to business. I love reading beauty posts where the blogger goes through all the items making up their make up. All the better when we see the end results in pictorial form... so that's what I'm doing today!
I was actually pretty horrified after assembling all my daily products and the realisation of just how much stuff I put on my face for the purposes of being presentable. Is this normal?? I fear not. But whatever.. this is what it takes for me to not scare small children when I leave the house each day.
It's surprisingly difficult to arrange all these items attractively and clearly I have failed somewhat! Regardless, let's move on to looking at them in detail and I have helpfully arranged them into categories.
First up: let's cover the bases:
Foundation / Concealer / Powder
Eye Make Up
And this is what it all looks like when it's on:
Ta daa! There we have it. Just a further note that for my eye make up I usually just use the two lightest shades from the eyeshadow quad, mainly due to laziness.
As you can see, I favour more high-end products - this after years of trial and error with the cheaper end of the spectrum, which just do not produce the same results, particularly foundation and powder. Fact.
I shudder to think how much this would all cost if I were to add it all up, so I shan't. So there.
