Hi loves! So I haven't posted a makeup video on my youtube channel (find here) in a hot minute, and I had gotten a couple of questions on my Instagram (find here) about what products I use on a day to day basis so I thought the best thing to do was a lil blog post!
BASE
I usually moisturize beforehand with Cetaphil's DermaControl Oil Control Moisturizer as I have pretty oily skin, and it works really well at keeping my oil at bay!
Foundation-wise, I use my holy-grail foundation which is Estée Lauder's Double Wear Stay-in-Place Liquid Foundation in the shade Amber Honey during late autumn, winter and spring, then in the shade Rich Cocoa during the summer and late autumn. I can honestly say that I have never found a foundation that has worked as well as this one: it keeps your face matte all day and is medium-full coverage so you don't even need concealer! What a gem!
To set my foundation, I use MAC's Studio Fix Pressed Powder in the shade NW43 during late autumn, winter and spring and NW45 during the summer and late autumn. It is super important to have two different foundations because as the seasons change, so will your skin tone.
My favourite blush to use is Sephora's own Blush in Love Sick (No. 22), I just dust it lightly on the apples of my cheeks (tip: smile while you're applying it!) and glide it upwards.
EYES
I'm fortunate enough that I've never had to use an eyelid primer so I just go straight in with two MAC eyeshadows: first I spread Red Brick all over my lids, then put Shroom in the corner of my eyes and blend! Super simple right?
My trusty eyeliner is Seventeen's High Drama Intense Liquid Liner, and I always draw on my signature cat eye.
For mascara, this can honestly change depending on how I'm feeling, but I do always go back to Lâncome's Doll Lashes Mascara, it gives the dreamiest lashes in my opinion.
LIPS
Now onto my favourite parts, my lips! I think this is what I get asked about the most and hallelujah, I am finally divulging my favourite two products to use: firstly, I always use a lip primer (usually I apply this at the beginning of my makeup routine, that way it has a little time to settle in beforehand, and the one I use is MAC's Prep and Prime Lip Primer, it makes your lips feel so so lush, and smoothes them over without changing the consistency of the lipstick/lip liner you'll be wearing on your lips.
Then I spread MAC's Lip Liner in Plum all over my lips et voila! I'm done!
I hope you all enjoyed this post and I'll have a video tutorial up on my channel soon!

COAT TOPSHOP GLOVES UNIQLO LIPSTICK MAC BOOTS DR MARTENS HAIR GRIPS MADEWELL GLASSES WARBY PARKER JUMPER AMERICAN APPAREL
Hello everyone! It has been way too long since I last spoke to you and I am so so sorry! As many of you may or may not know, I go to university in New York now, which is super exciting but also very tiring and hectic (hence the lack of outfit posts) but I promise I will get better at managing my time i.e. will post more blog posts. As a way of showing you a few things that I've bought recently for the big freeze here across the pond, I thought that I would do a little post about winter in New York and a few of my essentials. First of all, I bought this really cosy coat from Topshop; what I love about it is not only is the big fur collar warm but it's also detachable, and the sleeves are tapered in, meaning the cold will be kept out. I bought a pair of Uniqlo's heat tech gloves and not only are they warm, but they were great value. Of course, you need a pair of heavy duty boots and I decided on this pair from Dr Martens as they have great grip and are really chunky which I love. You may have noticed this from my instagram (find here!) but I have a new short 'do and with all this crazy wind, I've need grips to keep my hair out of my face, hence these ones from Madewell. I'm short-sighted and with all the extra darkness and snow I need all the help I can get to see (as I'm already incredibly clumsy), and was feeling a pair of new frames, so got these ones from Warby Parker; I love this brand so much because not only do they have an amazing range of frames at great prices but for every pair you buy, they donate a pair to someone in need! A lipstick which I'm in absolute love with is this one from MAC in Love Forever! And last, but by no means least, I have this jumper from American Apparel, which is fab at keeping you warm and looking good!
