Foundation: mabelline super stay 24hr it's awesome and won't break the budget. I use my fingers for foundation so that I can massage it well into my skin, I find sponges make the application a bit thick.
I then put. My thin lizzie over the top, paying more attention to the cheeks.
Eye liner: it's a cheap Australis one in black liquid. I draw a thin line close to the lashes on the top lid.
Mascara: lash blast by cover girl it's the best in an orange container. In black waterproof.
Lip gloss or balm: mabelline can't remember the name, it's pink and shimmery. Moogoo.
If I'm Not going out I'll just wear my thin lizzie and mascara and a little gloss.
I find mineral makeup to be really good for my usual everyday makeup. For my foundation I am using Nude by Nature. It's a loose powder, and it really only takes a few seconds to tap some powder into the lid and then the brush in and swirl it all over your face in round motions. Love it! Liquid foundations usually make me break out completely so mineral makeup is a lifesaver. The only thing is it doesn't last quite as long, I usually use Jurlique rose powder to pat down my T zone in the afternoon or night. It smells so pretty
Eyes - I use a variety of different colours of the MAC powder eye shadow. My favourites are woodwinked (shimmery browny-gold) and satin taupe (a darker brown with hint of purple) but there are heaps of great colours! For mascara I only ever use clinique long wearing curling formula, it's the only mascara that doesn't give me panda eyes.
Blush - again I have heaps, currently using MAC powder blush in dainty which is a pretty pop of pink Also like benefit Dallas powder for something a bit more sexy but I love all the benefit powders.
Anyone that also loves mineral or organic makeup should also check out everyday minerals online, they are based in the US and you need to ship them but they have great mineral foundations, blushes and eye shadows as well as some other stuff. It's just annoying trying to find your foundation colour but they do little sample kits, it's free to get one you just pay for the shipping.
I am lazy with lips and usually just use the basic nivea lipbalm from the supermarket!
Hmm interested in trying the maybelline super stay for a foundation with a bit coverage now that a couple of girls have recommended it.
What gal doesn't love make-up?! Mine are pretty basic ( I'm usually on a budget!)
Foundation-I use Natio liquid mineral foundation. It goes on nicely and looks super natural.
Mascara- I LOVE Covergirl Lash Blast. It has the best brush! Nice and big, heaps of volume, no clumping.
Blush- Maybelline minreal powder, again it looks nice and natural. Gives a girly pink glow.
One tip which I can give you is I use a black eye-shadow and apply it to my bottom lashes ( just under the lashline) with a short stumpy brush. I put more in the outer outer corner and then bring it along the lashline until about halfway. the I just use my finger to gently smudge. It's a better alternative than eye liner and again, it looks more natural
But, by the looks of it I may have to try Maybelline super-stay 24hr!
