I was kindly nominated to take part in the Ride or Die Beauty Tag. I love watching these kind of videos from Beauty Gurus so can’t wait to share my top products with you guys.

Also please check out LP’s post and the rest of her blog!

Primer

Primer is one thing I like to mix up and try new ones, but if there’s one I always go for when I NEED my makeup to look spot on and last then it’s the L’Oreal Infallible! I have huge huge HUGE pores so a silicone primer is great for me and lets the foundation sit smoothly on my skin.

Foundation

This is such a difficult one! I have a lot of different foundations and have had had numerous favourites throughout the years and it generally changes as I discover and try more. At the moment I think I’d have to say the Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless. I reach for this one a lot and again, I know how it performs and it works well on my skin.

Concealer

100% the MAC Pro Longwear concealer. It’s so full coverage and is just so good!

Powder

LP’s list included face powder and under eye setting powder. I just use one all over and my favourite is the Vichy Dermablend Setting Powder, it’s such a fine powder and keeps me matte.

Bronzer

Another easy win for me, the Body Shop Honey Bronzer! I’m very fair skinned and this comes in great paler colours. If you’re pale like me, check it out!

Blush

I don’t think I have a favourite blush, I tend to mix it up quite a lot. If I want something glowy I do love Luminoso from Milani. Day to day I tend to reach for the blush in my Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look in a Palette (Hmm come to think of it the bronzer from this is pretty great too!)

Highlight

This may be cheating as its technically four highlighters but I love the Sleek Solstice Palette, all the shades are so pretty. This one was really popular with YouTube beauty gurus at one point but no one’s talking about it anymore!

False Eyelashes

Believe it or not I’ve only just gotten into wearing falsies last month. I was debating getting eyelash extensions, but then my best friend had an allergic reaction to the glue on hers which she’d been having done for months and it put me right off!! So I decided to give false lashes a go. I’ve only tried the demi wispies from Ardell so far so will have to try some others too! If you have any recommendations leave them in the comments below!

Mascara

I have had a lot of trouble with mascara, trying to find one that doesn’t smudge on my oily skin or flake off throughout the day. I definitely haven’t found ‘the one’ but the L’Oreal Lash Paradise is the best for not doing the above mentioned things as well as giving my tiny lashes some length.

Eyeshadow Palette

I honestly don’t think I can choose. Eyeshadow is my love and I have so many which are all good for different occasions/ purposes! I might dedicate a full blog post to my top 5 (if I can narrow it down) instead!

Lipstick

Very random choice but trust me it’s great. Remember when Tanya Burr had makeup!? Well I was a huge fan and bought lots of it. Most of it was rubbish but the lipsticks really were fantastic! I especially love the colour Pink Cocoa which is a natural (for me) pinky mauve shade.

Liquid Lip

I’ve been loving the new Too Faced liquid lipsticks from their Christmas Collection, so beautiful! To be honest they’re not the most comfortable and after a few hours it kind of feels like my lips are going to crack off. Maybe I should test some more liquid lipsticks!?

Lipgloss

I don’t tend to wear much lipgloss but when I do I tend to go for more pinky girly shades, but I don’t have a firm favourite. 

Setting Spray

Easy easy easy…Urban Decay All Nighter is hands down my favourite.

Perfume

I feel like I really dislike a lot of perfumes and find it so hard to find new ones! My favourite is super old, Georgio Armani Code.  Absolutely love it. It’s definitely more of a sexy night time scent, not really one for every single day but I have repurchased this so many times.

Brows

I’ve just bought a few new brow products to try so it’s another one I don’t have an absolute favourite and I’m still searching for the perfect brows. Somebody help me!

Makeup Remover

I talked about this in my Favourite beauty Essentials post but I love the lush Ultrabland Cleanser. It removes everything!

I would love love love ANYONE reading this to do this tag if you want to, I love to hear everyone’s faves and discover new things!
