My Everyday Makeup Brushes

I am a little bit of a makeup brush hoarder, I really do not have a limit on when enough is enough. This has led to a vast and 100% oversized makeup brush collection. But these are the brushes I grab every day without thinking and know they will give me a flawless face.

1. MAC 170 Face Brush
The MAC 170 is a staple in my collection and can make any foundation look amazing. The bush is quite dense but has movement in it, and is really unique. The shape of the brush is like a dome, it's not flat but has a dome shape, making it ideal for buffing product into the skin. This is defiantly a brush for people who love to tap and press foundation into their skin, if you prefer to use a flat foundation brush, this is probably not for you.

2.LUXIE 660 Precision Foundation Brush
When setting my face i like a sweeping layer, no baking, no intense setting, just enough to stop my face getting oily or my makeup creasing. Therefore this brush is ideal, it's a great for sweeping under the eyes and across the T-Zone without looking like you've dunked your face into setting powder.

3.MAC 188 Face Brush
Contouring always terrified me, I could never quite get it to look like a cheekbone, but it just looked like a thick brown line down my cheeks. When I discovered this brush, my life genuinely changed. The brush is amazing, as it's so small it really gets into the hollows of your cheeks and blends the powder really nicely.

4.ZOEVA 106 Powder Brush
For bronzer, I like an all over bronze. A 'two week vacation' kinda bronze, so I use a powder brush. The Zoeva brush is quite big but doesn't pick up too much pigment, so it's enough to sweep over the face but looks really natural.

5.ECOTOOlS Precision Blush Brush
Blush Brushes, I find either sheer out my blush too much, or put way too much on! This is perfect for me, it's so easy to apply and just provides the perfect level of rosiness.

6.ELF Highlighting Brush
This highlighting brush is amazing, It is really soft and not spiky like a lot of other highlighter brushes. It really sweeps the highlighter across the cheeks, blending it out and leaving a natural glow, as oppose to a harsh line of highlighter.

7. NYX Crease Brush
For everyday makeup I only use one eyeshadow brush, and usually I just take some of my bronzer and sweep it across my eyes. So this brush is ideal, it blends across the eye, packs the colour on and can blend it into my crease and if I use it on my lower lash line i just squish the brush and use it like that.

Bioderma Sensibio Range Review - PR

If you've been around for a long time you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands and they were kind enough to send me their Sensibio range to try out. The Bioderma Sensibio Micellar water needs no introduction. It's a staple in so many makeup artists routines and it's easy to see why. I've gone through so many of these micellar waters and nothing quite compares for me. This is the foundation of my morning skincare and is just enough cleansing without stripping my face. It's such a beautiful formula that leaves my skin looking super refreshed. I also received a few goodies I haven't tried before including the Sensibio eye contour gel . This really surprised me as I usually steer towards creams when it comes to eye cream, but I was super impressed with the gel. It feels more like a creamy gel and glides beautifully under the eyes and makes the perfect base for concealer. I've actually been using this in the morning as I find the gel i...

Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Bronzer - Pale Skin Review

I had been dying to purchase one of these bronzers since they came out and after months of resisting finally caved in! There are 8 shades which is great as there is a large range to choose from, depending on how you like your bronzer. Naturally I am quite pale and for reference I am the shade 120 in the Fenty Foundation and 150 Buff in Revlon's colour stay foundation, and even in summer, I never really change that much from these shades. From being so pale, the fear of the bronzer is real, I haven't found any that look natural and don't leave me looking orange, muddy, or like i have a some kind of smudge on my face. So I decided to try the lightest bronzer Fenty Beauty had to offer, Inda Sun. From swatching the shade appears pretty neutral and light, it doesn't have a red undertone that can leave pale skin looking orange. I also love the gold packaging and how luxury and sleek it feels. I used the same brush I would normally use for bronzer which is my real tech...

How To Streamline Your Skincare Routine

Lately I have been feeling so overwhelmed with makeup, skincare and brushes and decided to take it back to basics. Having a simple skincare routine is great for your skin, cost effective and stops me changing my routine every day! I decided to make a routine and stick to it.. mainly in an attempt to stop my acne! 1. Cleanser A cleanser is a must! Ensuring all that makeup and grime is off your face is one of the most important steps. I love this Pai, Camellia and Rose Cleanser , but it is a littttlleee expensive, another great alternative is the Nivea Daily Basics Face Wash. If I want to make my cleanser last longer ( especially the ones that make my eyes water looking at the price ), I will just use micellar water, like the Bioderma one and a cotton pad in the morning and save my cleanser for night, but one cleanser will do the trick! 2. A Toner Without a toner my skin feels tight and dry. The Liz Earle Skin Tonic, has been a favourite for years, it sm...
