The \u2018five product face\u2019 \u2013 for effortless girls that would rather have a longer (read: bigger) breakfast than put on more than one shade of eyeshadow. If you\u2019re also filing your makeup look under \u2018minimal\u2019, read on to find out how I manage to look human with just five products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My secret to an even, almost flawless complexion? Liz Earle Signature Foundation (\u00a321) \u2013 one of my favourite foundation finds ever. This stuff is everything I need from a base; it applies beautifully, offers medium to full coverage, blends seamlessly to conceal even the most unsightly of blemishes, lasts all day and sits comfortably on my skin with a very natural finish. Honestly, I could go on about this stuff for days \u2013 but I\u2019ll try and rein it in. Trust me on this one, it\u2019s more than a bit lovely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a warm, flattering flush to my chubby cheeks, I go for Benefit Majorette (\u00a323.50). This is actually a \u2018blush booster\u2019, meaning you layer it up with another product to increase the vibrancy for a more lively result. I prefer to use it alone as I adore the shade, and the formulation is incredible. This is super, super creamy and not too pigmented (just enough I would say) so there\u2019s no way you can mess it up. I really rate this, so give it a swatch next time you\u2019re within a mile radius of a counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I tend to spend the most time on my eyes, since they\u2019re the window to the soul and all that. And also because I think it pulls my whole look together \u2013 I adore the Illamasqua Vintage Metallix Cream Shadow in Embellish (\u00a316.50). This is a bronze shade with flecks of a warmer shimmer, it\u2019s not overly shimmery but just enough to add something to your look. I sweep it over the lid lightly and then push a bit more in to the lower lashes. Mmmm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next up, I layer up the Urban Decay Perversion Mascara (\u00a317), purely because it doesn\u2019t smudge and it takes almost no effort for it to make my lashes big and fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, I use the Soap & Glory Archery Brow Pencil (\u00a38) to fill in my brows, I love this for everyday use as it really shapes and defines my brows so they still have a really natural look. It\u2019s one of the best brow products I\u2019ve come across, I have to say!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s all there is to it \u2013 easy makeup done right.
