Make up purchases: Getting the basics right.

Following my style analysis (see previous post) I sent off for some of the make up advised in the guide as well as some other purchases.

Palette

I’ve used the obsession range for a while and already had a small palette I’d filled myself. Ended up purchasing the larger palette so I can carry everything in one palette rather than the two. Taking on board the advice given in the guide, I’ve opted for a blush in a bronzier shade and and a more golden palette with regards to contouring and highlighting. Lip shades also slightly more coral than normal choices. This cost me roughly £8, including the palette. Alongside the inserts I already owned, the palette now contains all my contouring, 3 shades lip ‘stain’, brow powder and 3 shades eyeshadow. So much easier but highly doubt it will mean my dressing table will be any less messier.

Foundation and Base

I’ve worn Estee Lauder double wear for a few years now and for the time being plan on sticking with it.However, it was advised in the guide to try using a stippling brush to apply it. So here we go. Looking forward to trying it, if you have any tips please let me know.

Picked up a ‘bronzier’ shade of baking powder too as the one I purchased recently was slightly ‘peachy’ giving me a pink tone which I really disliked. Also purchased a camouflage green and lilac to help sort the recovery dark circles and rosacea. I’ve trialled on the back of my hand and they seem quite thick in terms of coverage and blended well – so fingers crossed!

Eyeshadow

This was one of the recommended palettes and the pigment is amazing!! Just gave a few dabs to the back of my hand and they are super vivid – I seriously can’t wait to try these out.

Thoughts

Honestly, if you haven’t tried revolution make up before I highly recommend! This isn’t my first order and it certainly won’t be the last.
