My Top 10 Makeup Bag Essentials

I think I'm just going to jump right on into this one, so here we go!

Too Faced Born This Way foundation: I can't remember the last time I was this impressed with a foundation. The colour is a perfect match for even my pale complexion. It has a flawless medium to full coverage and a natural skin like finish. So versatile with a great range of shades - a makeup bag must!

Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer: lightweight and great coverage - what more do I need to say?

Benefit Hoola Bronzer: there's a reason this is such a hyped up product - it's awesome. Not too light and not too dark, not too orange and not too muddy. A really great matte bronzer to give a natural sun kissed colour to the skin. Also makes for a nice contour colour.

Any peachy blush: whatever your budget or skin tone, a peach blush is an essential to any makeup bag. I think peachy shades are flattering on all skin tones and tend to go with any makeup look. I particularity like Nars Orgasm and MAC Modern Manderin if you like something more intense.

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed: what do I really need to say about these other than LOVE. Also Pearl gives. me. life.

Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade: you can fake super natural full brows or to a totally Instagram worthy brow - whatever takes your fancy. Great colour range and super longlasting.

LOreal Telescopic Mascara: lengthening, voluminising, defining - everything I look for in a mascara, plus it's at the drugstore!

Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner: super black, super longlasting, super easy application. No one should be afraid to try winged liner when it's so easy and looks so good!

Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams: a moussey liquid lipstick formula that sets matte but isn't drying. They may not be the most longlasting, but they're comfortable and affordable. I personally love the shades Stockholm and Abu Dabi, an have found the nude shades to be a better formula than the bolder colours which I thought applied patchy.

Beauty Blender: this little sponge has totaly changes my life! Blends foundation quickly and evenly, giving a flawless and skin like finish. It's shape also allows you to blend concealer into any and all little crevices around the face. Invest in the real deal- the dupes don't even compare.

So there was my rundown of my top ten products every makeup junky needs in their life.

Much love, Rachel xx
