We all know how drastically make up can change someones face, some more than others and obviously depending on how much you apply.
I have picked out a few products and reasons to why i think these can transform your face the most. Every item of makeup plays their part and products such as eye shadow or lipstick can change your look but it is not necessarily something everyone wears.
The first product i picked out was probably an obvious one because of the whole brow hype at the moment and big brows have never been loved more! We all go through fazes of trying to find the best type of products to fit your brow- pencil, powder, cream and now there is so much more to choose from. I am one for a bold but natural brow because my eyebrows are quite dark and have got shape anyway they just need a bit more volume (do brows have volume?), I have been loving the Illamasqua Brow Cake recently in Gaze, its quite dark so i don't need a lot of product and i just roughly run the creamy powder through them with a Laura Geller angled brush to add a bit more definition. Some times less is more with brows.
I think mascara is a product that makes a massive difference and most make up looks just doesn't look 100% complete with out a coat or two. I did not want to give into the hype and buy the Benefit They're Real mascara but when i got sent it i thought i had to give it a go and.. well I love it! If you were thinking the same as i was, do not hold back go and buy it, my lashes have never looked longer, although i have quite long lashes anyway it just gives it a false lashes effect and you only really need one coat. I am very happy to just wear this by its self when it comes to wearing no makeup.
When i am not wearing a base like foundation or a BB cream i tend to stay away from bronzer/contour as i feel it doesn't have as much to cling on to and doesn't make as big of a impact, although it still works. However with a good base this product transforms your face and works really well on my pale skin as it is quite a light contour, Maybelline Master Sculpt also have a slightly darker shade for you darker skinned guys and gals out there. I was mainly concentrating on the bronzer in this product but i have to give some love to the highlighter side too as it is such a pigmented glowy powder, fab if you are on a budget.
Lastly, I picked concealer(s), you don't always need a foundation to create a flawless base, concealer is just as good and slightly more natural, or if you don't intend on wearing any makeup but feel you look slightly zombie-fied from your sleepless night like me, it works for that too.
Do i need to even tell you what the first concealer is? Collection Lasting Perfection a great must have to cover those imperfections, a slightly less coverage concealer but still one of my favourites is Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer, very creamy light weight concealer that brightens your under eyes from all the moisture.
These are the products i turn to everyday as part of my daily face but also work very well on their own when i only want to wear one product or i am having a good skin day i'll just pop one of these on to give more of a model off duty kind of look.
What face changers do you have in your makeup bag?
