Favourite Makeup Products- Face

As obsessed as I am with makeup, I can't believe this is truly the first post about it.

Well anyways I'll start off with some of my favorite products, ones that I will continue to repurchase.

From start to finish.

I haven't found the right primer for me yet. I've tried Benefit's Porefessional and hated it as well as a few other drugstore ones. I've swatched some at Sephora but you can't know how good a primer is till you wear it all day in combination with your foundation.

So in the meantime I've been using a Garnier BB cream as my primer. It would be perfect if it weren't so oily. My face gets crazy shiny. So because of that it probably doesn't make my list, but it was worth mentioning.

I have 3 foundations that I absolutely love.


MAC Face & Body- C4
buy here

Clinique Superbalanced Makeup- Honeyed Beige
buy here

and this one I recently purchased but already adore it.

Armani Luminous Silk Foundation- 8
You can purchase it at Holt Renfrew in Canada.
or here in the US

I also have some foundations by L'oreal, Revlon, and the infamous Makeup Forever HD, but they haven't made a huge impression on me.

I have two powders that I love and will always repurchase- both by MAC.

Studio Fix power in NC40 for a little bit of coverage or mattifying.
buy here



and Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Deep as my setting powder.

I have a ton of concealers but I pretty much reach for one. I will probably repurchase this unless I run into an even better one. 
I use concealer pretty much solely for my under-eye area. 
Medium Golden 
buy here

Another concealer worth mentioning that I have would be Benefit's Erase Paste. Pretty decent, but not as "amazing" as the one by "amazing cosmetics. LOL

I use my Nars bronzers to contour. Laguna for daytime because it's lighter and less harsh, and Casino for night for a stronger contour. 

In real life I think Casino is darker, but here they are side by side.

For blush I really like to switch it up but I like Nars and MAC blushes. I also have one by Benefit, a cream blush by NYX and a blush palette by BH Cosmetics.

My all time favourite blush would have to be Blushbaby by MAC and I will definitely repurchase it once I run out.

Last but not least, in the winter when my skin is drier I like to finish off with MAC's Fix +
But to be honest, I haven't used it even once this summer.

That's basically it for my favourite face products, I'll do a eyes and lips, maybe a makeup brush one later.


Until next time,
xoxo V
