As I am sure you guys are already well aware, I am a sucker for beauty items. I have been an avid beauty lover for many years now. In that time, I have tried my fair share of makeup products. Some things I fall in love with instantly. Others have been a slow burner and I have grown to love them over time. I thought that I would round this up all in one place. In this post I am going to be sharing the best of the best. These are the items that I have fallen in love with and that I recommend to everybody. There aren’t loads of products that I would highly recommend to all because makeup is very personal. However, I think that these work for just about everybody with every different skin type!
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream.
A couple of years back, I did make up for my sister’s wedding. I did my own makeup, the brides and then four other bridesmaids. Regardless of the skin type, I used the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream to prep the skin. This offers hydration, skincare benefits and wonderful base. It does not make oily people even oiler. It helps to balance out dry skin. Not to mention that amazing glow that it brings to the skin. I adore using this item and I have been using it personally for the best part of 5 years now. No plan on quitting it any time soon!

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer.
The only concealer that I am going to mention in this blog post is the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer. This Nars concealer was the first high-end concealer that I ever bought. Even though I do switch around my concealer quite often, I always come back to this item. It has a great amount of coverage, without feeling too heavy. It sits really well on top of all foundations. It doesn’t crease and I feel like it helps to smooth out my under-eye area. A great staple that everybody would love.
Â
Fenty Powder Foundation.
For a very long time I used to use a NYX brightening powder underneath my eyes. However, the pan on the NYX product was so small and I used to burn through them. When these Fenty Powder Foundations were released, I made the switch. Quickly, I fell in love. I now own these in so many different shades. You can build these up to get a truly bespoke level of coverage to your makeup. No matter what shade I have used, they always look perfect on the skin and last all day long.
Â
Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara.
Even though recently I have started a steamy love affair with the Nars Climax Mascara, I still adore this. This was one of the first mascaras that I ever tried. It is a testament to how amazing the item is that even after all this time, I still love it and use it. Not everybody wants to spend an arm and a leg on a new mascara and that is where basics like this Maybelline are perfect. It lifts the lashes amazingly, holds them really well and there is no flaking. These are basic things that not even the most expensive mascaras can compete with sometimes!
Â
NYX Micro Brow Pencil.
For so many years, I was trying every brow product on the market. I was purchasing everything from cheap to high-end products. Quickly I came to learn that there was not that much separated the brow products when it came to the quality. Since making the switch to this NYX Micro Brow Pencil almost 4 years ago, I have not looked back. I solely use this now and I don’t feel like I am missing anything from the old high-end products that I used to use. The only downfall is the cheap packaging, but I can live with that!
Â
MAC Mineralise Powders.
I am the worlds biggest fan of bronzer. My collection of them now rivals the shelves in Sephora. If there is a new bronzer, you can bet your bottom dollar that I am trying it. However, the one bronzer that I always come back to is the MAC Mineralise Powders. I first tried Give Me Sun forever and a year ago. The powder blends in absolutely incredibly and I love how it looks on the skin. I recently tried the one in the shade Dark Deep and I feel like I have found my new favourite. I adore it!
Â
Fenty Lip Balm.
I have the worlds driest lips. For so many years, no product has nourished my lips. I try to make out that it is a bit of a joke, but it can be so painful. Especially in the colder months of the year when they crack so deep. I tried the Fenty Lip Balm on a little but of a whim and I fell in love. This offers a very sheer wash of colour and adds so much moisture. I feel like when I apply this, I can feel the benefits of it for so long after. I own far too many of these now!
