I thought considering the sun is shining, and the fact I just bought a new make-up bag (!) I would tell you what is in my summer essentials for make-up. And let me tell you, you may see a pattern emerging in my eyeliner taste for summer... ;-)
DISCLAIMER: I pay for all of my make-up myself by saving up :-)
Ok, here we go then:
Tools
Brush set - My brush set is a mish-mash of brands. The case is in a Make-Up Essentials travel brush case, with Make-Up Essentials' blush, blending, angled, lip and eyeliner brushes. It also has a No. 7 eyeshadow application brush, a Body Shop foundation brush and a squared off Mac eyeshadow brush. I also have a separate kabuki by 17.
Redherring Eyelash Curler
Soap and Glory 'I know I'm not perfect, but I'm pretty damn close!' mirror
Eye Products
Rimmel's Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Eyeliners - I have two of these - 005 (a fleshtone shade) and 010 (a beautiful reflective silver). You can do so much with these - I love them.
Bourjois' Intense Extrait Eyeshadow - I have this in the colour 03, which is a gorgeous shimmery peach. Looks beautiful with a tan.
17 Eyes eyeshadow - this is in the colour 'Seagreen Splash' which is a bright seagreen colour (as the name suggests), that, again, looks beautiful with a tan. Read my review here.
Miss Sporty's Mini-Me eyeliner - This is in the colour Neon Pink (090) and looks really pretty as a pop of colour in a otherwise fairly neutral eye, but isn't for the faint hearted!!
Collection 2000's Lasting Colour Gel Eyeliner - I have this in the colour Teal - you can read my review on this fabulous product here.
Avon's SuperShock Gel Eyeliner - in Black. This is just a nice, everyday, intense black liner.
Benefit's They're Real! Mascara - It's actually a mini one that I got in Elle magazine - it's a really brilliant mascara, but it isn't waterproof (downside!) and it's too expensive to use as an everyday mascara for me, but a full sized product is on my wishlist!!
Colortrend by Avon's Flirty Eyes - in the colour Bright Eyes. This is a lovely shimmering cream shadow quad including a white, lilac, violet and navy. Perfect for bases, and the white is great for highlighting.
Redherring Eyebrow Gel - this is just a good eyebrow gel.
Avon Glimmerstick Eyeliner - I have this in Blackest Black, and this is a really good waterproof pencil eyeliner.
No. 7 Stay Perfect liquid eyeliner - It doesn't say what colour it is, but it is a really gorgeous reflective turquoise. It is completely waterproof too - a perfect colour and formulation for summer.
Colortrend by Avon Plump Out Mascara - this is the mascara I layer over my Benefit one, to make it waterproof, but it does give volume and definition. It is in the colour Black.
Face Products
Rimmel's Match Perfection concealer - This is a perfect under-eye concealer, but isn't particularly good for blemishes. I wear the colour Ivory (no. 10)
17's Even Tone Corrector Stick - this cancels out redness in blemishes, making them easier to conceal. Plus it's a crazy green colour!!
Rimmel's Natural Bronzer - This is a perfect matte bronzer. I use the shade Sun Glow (no. 25).
Collection 2000's Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Powder - This is the perfect setting and mattifing powder. I use the shade 2 - Medium.
Collection 2000's Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer - This is perfect for concealing blemishes and other impurities. I use the shade Light (2).
Avon's Smooth Minerals Liquid Foundation - this is a sheer foundation perfect for summer. I use the shade Nude.
Elizabeth Arden's Colour Intrigue - My mum gave me this, and I really like it. It is in the shade Tearose (02), and it is a perfect summer night colour, a coral/berry.
Collection 2000's Fix Me Up Long-Lasting Make-Up Fixer - this is a brilliant make-up setting spray, especially in summer, when your make-up slides everywhere! :-)
Lily Cole for the Body Shop Lip and Cheek Dome - This is brilliant for a meek pink lip or cheek look.
Lip Products
Nivea's Raspberry Rose Lip Butter - a perfect (gorgeous smelling) lip butter for summer.
17's Lip Crayon in Bold - a shimmering red lip that can be sheer or strong. In the colour "Bold". Read my review here.
Kate Moss for Rimmel's Matte Lipstick in 110 - this is a gorgeous coral/red shade.
So there you have it!
