Makeup Brush Must Haves!

So in my opinion having full sets of Sephora, Mac, Napolean and Sigma brushes that Sigma are hands down the best. The even better part is that they are super cheap and if you use the code March2012 when you buy yours at sigma.com you can get 10% off your order sweet! Now I am not sponsored by any companies especially not Sigma and I heard about these through a friend. They are amazing brushes so naturally I had to buy the whole set, yet a still have a few Mac ones I prefer and I love. So here is my kit!

 My whole kit

 My Sigma Kabuki set which are my three have brushes of all time! The flat one (F80) I use to apply liquid foundation, the tapered one (F86) I use to apply under eye concealer and the round one (F82) to  buff in minerals and foundation with.

The Sigma large powder brush which is unreal for bronzer and pressed mineral powder. (F20) This brush is so much softer than my mac brush and the bigger flatter top is great for a natural finish.

This Mac powder brush 150 is great for loose minerals and powder foundation. 

My most favourite blush brush ever! The angled top allows a really airbrushed application tot he apples of the cheeks 

This is a Mac 212 large eyeshadow brush and I can't compare it to the Sigma one as I don't yet have it, this is great for applying the base shade to the lids. 

If I could have one eye brush in my kit it would by my Sigma E25 blending brush. So amazing for blending colour for perfect smooth traditions. 

This Sigma E35 Tapered Blending brush is unreal, so so super soft and flawless. 

The Sigma E40 Tapered Blending  brush is awesome for applying colour all over the eye. Can make one colour have 3 uses. Buff into lids for high pigment colour sweep under brow bone for highlight and pack in crease for contour. 

The Sigma E60 Large Shader is perfect for applying pigment and brow bone highlight. 

Sigma E55 Eye shading brush is ideal for packing on lid colour

Sigma E70 Medium Angled Shading is again perfect for brow bone colour and highlight. 

This is a Mac 208 brow brush and I love this so much it fills in my none existent brows to perfection

Sigma E20 short shader is awesome for lower lid colour and smoking out eyeshadow

This is my one and only Napolean brush in my kit, the Fine Line brush which I apply with my gel liner

This is a Mac 212 brush for under eye shading tight to the lash line. Gorgeous!

This is a drug store cheap i use for eyebrows, it's so amazing for shaping brows

Everyday Makeup Part Two: the eyes

So here is part two my everyday eye makeup kit. Bare in mind that this isn't my whole eye makeup collection, just my favourites. So here we go.

I'll start with Mac paint pots because I just love them and think they are awesome bases. My two favourite are Quite Natural (dark brown) and Rubenesque (gold coppery one). These are the best for brown smokey eyes and copper smokey eyes and look unreal!

Next I'll do my pencils that I have in my everyday kit I have a black, white and brown one. My brown one is a Stila pencil called Tiger's eye, the Black is Mac smoulder eye kohl and the white one is also Mac.

My eyeshadow collection is just a little bit enormous, but these are my two favourite palettes and they are of course Mac because I think no other brand can even come close. So here are my favourite colours

Row one: Gesso, Crystal Avalanche, Grain, All that Glitters, Rice paper

Row two: Expensive pink, Soft Brown, Woodwinked, Cork, Sable

Row three: Satin Taupe, Swiss Chocolate, Bronze, Mulch, Mystery

                                     

Row one: Call me bubbles, Fresh daily, Full of Flavour, Brash, Sketch

Row two: Empty, Empty, Empty, Empty, Satellite dreams

Row three: Electra, Knight Devine, Print, Black Tied, Carbon

Now to mascara's I change them like I change underwear but I currently use two, Diorshow blackout and Peter Thomas Roth 'Lashes to die for'

Everyday makeup Collection Part one: Face

Hey all,
So I decided to make my first blog post a makeup collection video so I could show you guys my favourite products that I use every day and couldn't live without.
So without further a do I'll start with my face products.

So firstly my moisturiser which I absolutely swear by having slightly dry skin, the Clinique moisture surge

Next is my Primer which is the smash box photo finish oil free primer. I have only been using this product for about 2 weeks but I absolutely adore this product and would simply throw away all other primers i own. (I actually did including my NARS, MAC and napoleon ones)

On to foundation and I simply love the NARS sheer glow foundation in the colour Fiji. This foundation is so gorgeous and has such a beautiful natural glow to it. The best foundation I have ever used hands down worth all the money you have to pay for it.

The next step in my foundation routine is eyelid primer which is essential for any eyeshadow or eye makeup application. I use the smash box lid primer because the colour is slightly lighter than my natural lid colour (perfect for lid primers) and its so silky and gorgeous.

Next step is concealers now I use two different ones. The first is my mac concealer in NC20 which is one whole colour lighter than foundation (essential!). I also use a cheapie drug store one that is the bomb with a hangover or when you have heavy duty bags and it is called the Maybelline instant age rewind dark circle eraser in light pale 20. IT IS AMAZING!

Finally no look is complete without blush and bronzer! Now I am a fan of all things MAC but I do believe that bars blush and bronzer is the best. I am on the bandwagon and would say my number one bronzer is Laguna and number one blush is Orgasm (or gina if you are olive!).

                                                              This is Laguna Bronzer

                                                         This is the NARS Orgasm blush
