Makeup Medley #15.

MAKEUP MEDLEY #15.

It’s that time again, I’m giving you a tour of my monthly makeup bag and I feel the November edition is quite predictable for me! Expect dewy skin, nude lips and a burst of berry tones on the cheeks…

My love for the NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser (£29.50) hasn’t wavered, I love the finish and texture of this and it’s so concealing for something that doesn’t offer full coverage. I’m not a big Tinted Moisturiser fan but this is on a whole new level – it manages to blur imperfections and give the complexion a really even tone, all while looking natural and dewy on the skin. It’s really lovely stuff and I find myself reaching for it throughout the whole year, not just in summer.

I always pick out Benefit Hervana Blush (£23.50) for this time of year as it’s lovely and almost berry-toned. It makes skin look so healthy, but it’s not really like any other blushers I have. It really flatters all skin tones too, so even if I’m a little more pale than usual (standard for winter) I think it’s still so perky. I love the swirls of champagne shimmer and pink too – lovely!

I’ve been wearing the Illamasqua Vintage Metallix Cream Shadow in Courtier (£16.50) pretty much everyday since it was released, the shade is just beautiful and I love the texture, so much more creamy than your average cream shadow. This is a warm champagne/pink with flecks of gold shimmer, and it works beautifully alone or with another darker shade to smoke it up. I can’t get enough of it! It’s kind of my staple shade as it’s so wearable, I love pairing it with lots of mascara for a bright-eyed look that takes minutes.

Also here is the MAC MSF in Soft & Gentle (£23) which always seems to come out as soon as it turns cold. It’s one of my favourite highlighters because it’s so multi-dimensional and the different tones really boost the complexion. I love the way it adds warmth without being too shimmery.

Have you tried any of these?
