So this is my first post of 2016 and we're already speeding through the month of January, how scary is that. I've got a few makeup bits that I used throughout 2015 and will definitely be taking them with me into 2016. I'm not a huge makeup person and tend to stick to the same products if they work for me. These products are all drugstore and have been a part of my everyday makeup.
Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer
(Light)
This has been my all time favourite concealer. The consistency is nice and creamy and easy to blend. It provides enough coverage to hide my dark circles and it really brightens up the under eye area. I also apply it on any blemishes and spots I may have, and then tap and blend it in with my fingers or brush and I'm good to go. I don't really like wearing heavy makeup on my skin for an everyday look so using this concealer alone is usually enough. This concealer always sells out fast especially in the shade 'light' so I always try to get a few extra!
Maybelline Sensational Mascara
My all time favourite mascara used to be Maybelline's The Falsies but this mascara has definitely taken its spot. My lashes are straight lashes that don't like staying curled but this mascara really works for me. It really fans out my lashes and provides great length and volume without feeling heavy. I usually apply two coats and it doesn't go clumpy or flaky when it dries.
Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Stick
(Bad Girl Bronze)
I tend to go for a neutral brown slightly smokey eye look as my everyday look. I have really enjoyed using this eyeshadow stick by Rimmel as it's a quick and easy way of applying eyeshadow. I just dab it onto my eyelids and blend it out either with my fingers or a brush. I also use it as an eyeliner and then smudge it out using my real techniques accent brush which I love. The texture is smooth and the pigmentation is good. It has a shimmery metallic finish which you can build on if you wish to.
Sleek Contour Kit
(Light)
As you can probably tell from the picture I have been using this contour powder a lot. What I love about it is that it is matte whereas a lot of contour/bronzing powders have shimmers in them. It blends nicely and it's not too obvious but natural looking. It doesn't look orange on the skin either which is great. It also has a highlighter powder which I have barely used as I don't often highlight.
Soap and Glory Blotting Powder
I actually did a post on this powder a few months ago on why I loved it so much, you can check it out
here if you want to. I am still using it and still loving it!
So that's it, those were my top favourite makeup products of 2015!
