Below are the makeup products I have been loving the most recently, I haven't been buying a whole lot of new makeup lately because holiday shopping and saving is my priority at the moment but I have been experimenting with the products I already own and trying some new looks!
Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder Foundation - I had to mention this in my favourites, up to now I have only used a sample of this product but I absolutely love it, to find out why check out my recent blog post for a full review here.
MAC 'Let Me Pop' Paint Pot - I love MAC paint pots, this is the third one I have bought (sadly the first one I bought in the colour 'Bare Study' was short lived - always remember to put the lid back on after use or the product will dry out). I bought 'Let Me Pop' which is described as a 'frosted light copper' at Christmas time and wasn't so impressed with the product at first because I thought it was wearing off really quickly, recently I tested it out again and applied it in a different way and now I can't get enough of it. I found that unlike MAC 'Painterly' paint pot, 'Let Me Pop' is quite oily and needs a base to stick to, I tried this colour over 'Painterly' and I had not only long lasting results but a more intense pop of colour than I would of if I was to use the product on its own. I have also used 'Let Me Pop' for a light shimmer effect over eyeshadow, to do this I just lightly dabbed the product on to my lids on top of the eyeshadow I have applied. This colour is so glittery and gorgeous and it is perfect for a night out.
MAC 'Antiqued' Eyeshadow - This colour is described as 'ash brown with bronze'. I have had this in my makeup collection since 2011 and I still have quite a lot of product left. Since I began filling up my MAC eyeshadow palette I neglected my older eyeshadows and was excited to use all the new colours I had bought. Recently I became bored with my everyday statement 'feline flick' and swapped it for a neutral smokey eye using MAC 'Mulch' (which I have mentioned in a previous post) but last week I tried something different again with 'Antiqued'. I first applied my trusty MAC 'Painterly' Paint Pot all over my lids, then I used 'Antiqued' all over my lids, slightly above my crease and lightly under my eyes, to create some dimension I used MAC 'Texture' eyeshadow as a transition colour above my crease and as always those brows need a lift so I used MAC 'Shroom' as my brow bone and inner corner highlight, to finish off I lined my water lines with a black eyeliner and applied lashings of mascara. This look is so easy to create and really brings out my green eyes.

MAC 'Texture' Eyeshadow - As I mentioned above I use 'Texture' as a transition shade, the colour is described by MAC as a 'peachy brown with shimmer'. Recently I was experimenting and found it is also a perfect contour colour for my skin tone. This colour is really intense and pigmented but when it is used correctly and is thoroughly blended it creates the illusion of a perfectly chiseled jawline and cheek bones. I must mention this product is hard to get hold of, I went to various MAC counters before I finally got my hands on it, I'm not sure if it has been discontinued or is in high demand therefore is usually out of stock.
This may appear a little dark for a face contour but remember blending is the key!
