Current Foundation Routine

In the past month I have completely changed my foundation routine. I used to only wear a liquid foundation by clinique. But now after discovering BB creams I much prefer to use that.

I use Rimmels Wake Me Up concealer under my eyes and on any blemishes or if I just feel like I need any extra coverage that morning. I then use Maybelline's BB Cream on my tea zone area.

I then use my new favourite product the Laura Mercier mineral powder. I use my real techniques buffing brush to apply it. It stops the BB Cream making my skin look oily and gives a nice natural finish to the look. It is not cakey or drying at all!

I always apply blusher on my cheeks as I am a ghost without it! I like Benefit blushers and body shop also do nice pinky toned ones. I then apply Benefits hight beam above the blush for more definition and along the bridge of my nose.

I now feel like I can finally use BB Cream and get actual coverage and use it on a daily basis.

illasmasqua liquid metal

I picked this up at their store on Carnaby Street in the sale for a think costing about £8.50. These liquid metal shades really stood out and have the most lovely wet creamy texture. I chose the colour Phenomena I love the highly pigmented striking silver. You can wear this product as a highlighter, on the lips or body. But I chose to wear it as an eyeshadow. However it doesn't stay put for that long, I have to use lots and lots of primer for it to stay on for a few hours.

Benefit High Beam

This dewy pearly pink highlighter is a really lovely product, it feels nice and light on my skin and gives it a healthy reflective glow. I received this in a beauty hamper that I won but it retails at £18.50 , which is pretty expensive but it comes a good sized bottle and you only need a few drops of the product so will last you a long time.

I like to use this benefit highlighter on my cheek bones, brow bone and sometimes under my eyes. I apply it in the mornings to perk up my tired complexion to brighten it up and make it look more hydrated. I love how subtle the product so it creates a natural look. 

I am desperate to try the Sun Beam version of this. Even though i'm a very pale person I would of quite liked it to have more of a tint to it to add some colour to my face, which the Sun Beam appears to have.
