My Every Day Makeup | India Cameron

These are the products I am currently wearing on the days I wear makeup. I definitely never stick to wearing these products every single day, I am always switching up with the ones I have as i'm sure a lot of people like to do. These are just the products i'm really enjoying using together at the moment. I don't really switch up what products I use during summer/winter, apart from foundation. In winter, I like a thicker foundation with much more coverage and in summer I like a light foundation with less coverage as I feel in summer a thicker foundation would just melt off my face. 

I always cleanse and moisturise on a morning, as I think this makes a difference with how my foundation sits on my face. Using a moisturiser and hydrating your face prevents your foundation from going patchy throughout the day, as your skin is all ready hydrated, your skin doesn't need to absorb the moisture in your foundation, leaving the pigment sat on your skin as its already hydrated. I also feel like cleansing and moisturising makes my makeup last much longer on my face.

I never have done or never will use a primer, I don't really like the idea of the white gunk sinking into my pores, leaving them feeling blocked and not being able to breathe.

After cleansing and moisturising  I apply my foundation. If i'm in a rush, I will just use my fingers (which is most days) but if I have a little bit more time, I use a stippling brush. I find that which ever one I do, the results are similar. This foundation I use is medium coverage and a very thin consistency. Perfect for summer. The coverage is build-able but over all i'd say it is of a medium coverage. During winter, as I said previously, I like to switch up my foundation, and use a much thicker, higher coverage one. I like the 'Rimmel 25 hours lasting finish' foundation, as its very thick and a heavier coverage. Both links to these foundations are below.

YSL touche eclat in shade '01 Luminous Radiance' 

After applying my foundation, I apply my YSL Touche Eclat to under my eyes, down the bridge of my nose and on the sides of my nose. This was deffinatley a splurge buy, but is probably one of the most luxurious makeup items I own. I love the packaging as it seems so sophisticated and looks luxurious. The product is super creamy, rich and thick. I wouldnt so much call it a concelor, as I wouldnt want to highlight my blemishes, I just put it on where I want on my face to stand out so i'd say its more of a highlighter and is brilliant under the eyes.

Depending on where im going and how long for, I sometimes set all of this with a powder, depending on how much coverage I want or need and after setting my face, I apply cocobutter vaseline to my lips, to hydrate them and  to prepare them for a lipstick or gloss.

Natural collection blush in shade 'pink cloud'.

This is, and always will be my favorite blush. I love natural collection makeup and I think their blushes are great, especially for anyone who is wanting too add to their makeup collection. These blushes are £1.99 each and you get way more than you pay for. They're not over powdery, and apply really well. They are pigmented yet really natural. These blushes are easily equivalent in quality to MACs blushes and this shade in particular is almost identical to mac's blush in 'well dressed'.

Accessorize Baked Bronzer-Laguna.

Personally, I dont know whether this is a blush, a bronzer, or a highlighter. It states to be a bronzer but I use it to highlight. I love this stuff. The powder is extrememly fine and gives a beautiful glow to the skin. With me being pale, I hate looking dull, this is why I love highlighters so much. I dust this mostly on the tops of my cheeks, or sometimes dust it all over my face lightly too create an all face glow. This is a great alternative too the all so famous 'mac soft and gentle' mineralised skinfinish and is 1/4 of the price. Ill be so upset when this gets discontinued as i'll have to fork out £22 for macs soft and gentle.  You can buy this here: http://uk.accessorize.com/view/product/uk_catalog/acc_5.6/2033434800

Benefits High Beam.

This is probably one of my favorite cream highlighters. Its a shimmery pinkey colour that blends in really well to the cheaks to create a glow. I used too mix this in with my foundation too create a dewy look to my face, but found in the summer that it would all just melt off my face, so I stick to powder highlighters in summer.

 Collection Extreme 24 hour felt tip liner- I wear eyeliner most days, and the days i'm not wearing it I usually select eyeshadows from my mua undress me too pallet, in which i've already done a review on a different post. This is my favorite eyeliner of all time, I must off repurchased it around 7 times and that says a lot for me because I love trying new products and i'll only repurchase something if I think it's worth it. This is really great for anyone who struggles with liquid eyeliner as it is so so easy to create any look with. Because iv'e been wearing eyeliner for around 2 years now I can do it really really quickly, usually in under 2 minuets and they usually match. But I suppose you could do anything perfectly if you'd practiced over 800 times. The colour of this is super black and has no grey tinge to it. It comes straight out of the applicator. The applicator to me is a perfect size as I can line my lash line and then create a flick straight away. It starts to dry out within around 3 months but I think that is a great lasting time. The only fault i'd say this has is that in the summer when it's a really really hot day, it leaves a black residue (because I sometimes get sweaty eyelids blegh I know) just above where I put it and sometimes in my crease, but it can be removed quickly. It is perfect for winter though as it stays put for the whole time. This eyeliner definitely doesn't go flaky at all and lasts for probably around 20 hours (iv'e never been awake that long but I have applied makeup at 8 in the morning and came in 10.30 the following night and it has still been in place). You can't go wrong as this eyeliner only costs £2.99. This is my favorite liquid eyeliner and I will continuously repurchase it.

I currently just purchased this mascara so I don't really have much to say about it as I haven't had it long enough to write a full review on. The only reason I bought it is because I herd Tanya Burr rave about it in one of her videos, and I always trust her opinion. I don't usually go for the bristly brushes as I personally find rubber brushes work well with my lashes and I get a better result, how ever, I was pleasantly surprised the first time I used this. It made my lashes super long which I prefer length to volume in a mascara. Although it's purpose is to be 'voluminous' I found that it made my lashes long and curled which I like. It is definitely a wet mascara which I personally like but I know others don't. Link to buy this is here- http://www.boots.com/en/Maybelline-Falsies-Mascara_1036266/  

If I have been wearing lipstick, I have mostly been going for this one. I love this colour and I think the lipstick colour is super super pigmented, which is sometimes needed for a bring colour. I really love the colour orange and love wearing it on my lips. I don't even think this is for a particular season as I will be reaching  for this in winter. I don't really think there is anything special about the formula of topshop's lipsticks, but I definitely think the colour pay off is amazing. They are really pigmented and fairly lasting. This lipstick is definitely wearable in the day time. Here is the link: http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=2256882&langId=-1&categoryId=&parent_category_rn=&searchTerm=TS20L03YHOR&resultCount=1&geoip=home 

If i'm not going for a super bright lip, I sometimes put this in my bag and apply it when I want it throughout the day. This is a No 7 lipstick in 'Classic Rose'. It is targeted to be long lasting and i'd definitely agree. The formula is very creamy and thick and luxurious, yet it seems to be on the matte side as it's long lasting. The packaging of this lipstick is really sturdy and luxurious and you get a fair bit of product. This lipstick is said too last up to 8 hours, i'd say it lasts roughly around 6 which is still great lasting power for a lipstick. It leaves my lips feeling hydrated which is strange as it has a matte formula. Sometimes I pop a bit of benefits lip shine over it to give it that extra glossy look as sometimes I don't feel like wearing a matte lip, I just really like the colour.

If any of you have ever smelled a holister body spray, you'll know that i'm not over exaggerating when I say they are the nicest things I have ever smelled. They are like little bottles of goodness. These are definitely  day scents, however if I was going somewhere on a night I would layer this with a perfume. The thing I like about them is when you spray them, you get little wofts of them throughout the day and they smell that nice they make you feel happy. Also, other people get little wofts of them and I have been asked a couple of times what I have been wearing. I only get these when I go to  city, which isn't much. I purchased this one at Leeds, but the ones I had before were from Newcastle so when I have them I make them last for as long as possible. These are quite pricey for a body spray as they're £12 individually but I think Hollister do offers on them so you can buy 3 for £24 but i'm not overly sure on that. The 'Laguna Beach' one I have smells like strawberries, peach, melon and citrus in a bottle. It is one of the nicest smells I have ever smelled and i'll definitely be repurchasing this particular scent. I'd recommend anyone who hasn't smelled the hollister sprays too smell them or buy one as you wont regret it. They are a lot cheaper than a perfume and are nicer than a lot of perfumes.
