Hi My Loves
We are always on the search for perfect looking skin and here are some of the foundations I recommend that give you that flawless finish.
Coming in first place is my all time favourite foundation. It is the YSM (young skin makeup) from Inglot. I used this foundation for the whole of 2014 and loved it so much. It gave amazing coverage and is light weight on the skin. I recommended this foundation to so many friends and clients over the year and each one loved it as much as me. It is super affordable and now available online from Inglot.ie
Chanel's Vitalumiere Aqua comes in at a close second and the only reason for that is because I haven't been using it that long. This foundation is absolutely stunning on my skin and leave my face looking flawless. It has a rich creamy consistency that blend out like skin. It gives me medium to full coverage and stays matte all day long. If you are looking for a high end foundation then give this one a go.
I have been reaching for the Benefit Hello Flawless a lot recently when I have having non self tanning weeks and I am looking for slightly less coverage. This is a beautiful light weight light coverage foundation that makes your skin look and feel like skin but better. It is perfect for a no makeup makeup look :)
From the drugstore an old time favourite is the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation. I haven't used this foundation in a couple of years but repurchased it yesterday and re fell in love with it. It is a light to medium foundation which is very hydrating on the skin. It gives your skin a beautiful glow and smells amazing.
Last for the foundation faves is also a drugstore pick and it is the Catrice All Matte Plus foundation. I use this foundation on days when I don't want to use my more expensive ones. It gives nice medium coverage and is very light weight. It does need to be powdered throughout out the day but is perfect quality for the price.

Hey my loves,
In no particular order, first up, but I must admit is probably my favourite find of this year is the Mary Lou-Manizer from The Balm. This is such an amazing powder highlight that is not overly shimmery or glittery. It is just perfection and gives you that amazing glow that everyone wants.
The next in luxury is the Banana Powder from Ben Nye. This is Kim Kardashians best friend when it comes to highlighting and sets under eye concealer to give the ultimate pop and gorgeous glow. I just love this product for photographs.
As 2014 is coming to an end I wanted to share with you my favourite makeup products of the last year.
Although I have way more than just ten I thought that was enough for now.

Next up is the Vitalumiere Aqua from Chanel. This foundation is my all time favourite foundation ( a touch on the pricier side) but worth every penny. It gives amazing coverage and lasts all day long. It leaves my skin looking flawless and I just love it so much.
Next product is the liquid eyeliner from Catrice in ''dating joe black'' I have used this eyeliner for years and still cant find anything that works better. It is a jet black liquid liner that applies so easily. I would recommend this one for beginners as it has a felt tip applicator which makes apply it effortless. Another top thing about this product is it is super affordable.
This is another product that I don't think I will ever stop buying. It is from The Balm again (they are featured a lot in the post as their stuff is awesome) This blush ''Hot Mama'' has been my go to blush for the past 6 months and is absolutely stunning. I just love how it looks on my skin and gives such a nice flushed look. I have used this almost everyday and still haven't hit pan.
Another old time favourite is the lasting perfection concealer from Collection. I have been using this concealer for years and haven't come across a better one. It is highly pigmented and covers up the darkest of under eye circles while high lighting that area too. It is also super affordable too.
I have only one mascara that I loved this past year and that is the ''Miss Manga'' from Loréal. I am in love with the length and volume this mascara gives my lashes and also love the fact that it doesn't transfer to my bottom lid.
The next two products are the ultimate in luxury products but you definitely dont need them, but I bet you would LOVE them. First up is the Soleil De Tan from Chanel. This beauty is a cream to powder universal bronzer that works with everyones individual skin tone. It feels heavenly on the skin and making contouring a dream.
Finishing off with some lip products the first is from NYX and that is their Butter Lip Glosses.
In any shade they are devine and they apply so nicely. They don't leave you lips feeling sticky and horrible and their colour choice is huge.

Last but by no means least is the Provocalips from Rimmel. I only tried these babies in December but they blew my mind. They are a very long wear lip gloss and when I say very long wear I mean it. Them bad boys don't budge from you lips. This are so highly pigmented and gorgeous on.
I hope you liked my picks from the year, let me know your top products in a comment below.

Hey girls
Today I tried out some new products and wanted to share them with you.
If you seen my 'makeup must haves' post you will know I am obsessed with this Soleil de Tan from Chanel. I love the effect it has on my skin and love to contour with it.
I have been using different brushes with this product and think I have finally found the perfect one. The F40 from Blank Canvas Cosmetics makes applying this bronzer flawless and I love it.
This is my makeup base and I am loving this combination. I tried out the a new foundation for the first time. it is the Benefit Hello Flawless in Honey.
The coverage if the foundation is medium and it is quiet a liquidy formula. I built the coverage up to almost full coverage by applying two coats.
I have been using two new palette from The Balm that I have been using and I am in love them with. They are so pigmented and the colours are gorgeous.
I absolutely love this eye look.
I tried a brand new product to the blank Canvas Cosmetics family and it is their new liquid eyeliner. I loved it because it was a felt tip liner which I love and it is extremely black. That is what I always look for in an eyeliner
On my lips I am wearing Alluring Pink from Catrice
Hope you liked this makeup of the day

Who else loves my little heart lights? I picked them up on Pennys during the week and love them.

This primer from Smashbox is my ultimate fav primer, it is like silk on the skin and makes applying foundation so effortless & smooth.
I have been using this foundation for the past year and absolutely love it.
It is medium to full coverage and blends out so nicely.
I have recommended it to so many friends and clients and they all love it too. If you haven't tried an inglot foundation then this is the one to try.
This baby is brand new and I fell in love with it as soon as I tried it. It was recommended to me from another makeup artist who said it was an absolute must for my makeup kit. This cream to powder universal bronzer from Chanel is to die for.
How amazing does it look? It is a universal bronzer which means it builds up to every skin tone and blends out flawlessly.
This eye shadow palette from NYX was a present from the fabulous SoSueMe and I love it so much. The dark brown is my current fave eye shadow and it is fab blended under the lower lashes. The shadows in this palette are so pigmented and NYX is so affordable.
This powder was sent to me from Physicians Formula to try out and I LOVE LOVE LOVE. It sets my foundation beautifully, feels so light on my skin & holds my foundation in place all day long. Physicians formula is brand new to the Irish market and I cant wait to get my hands on more of their amazing products.
Here is another amazing NYX product. I cant get over the quality of their stuff.
This lipstick is unbelievable. It is so highly pigmented and the longetively of this lippie is outstanding. I applied it one morning before work and I kid you not I didn't have to re-apply until 4pm that afternoon.
Finishing off with a gorgeous lipgloss from Wet n Wild. This is the perfect everyday lipgloss and it is so smooth on the lips and not sticky at all. I love the colour and haven't been disappointed by a Wet n Wild product yet :)
Let me know of your makeup must haves
