Primer is generally one of those products that tend to fall through the cracks – ironic, since they’re supposed to fill cracks – when it comes to general makeup hype. They’re not sexy, but they make a hell of a difference when you use it. Like shapewear underpants. These are, in my opinion, the best stuff out there to tighten and smooth our faces with.
Yes, ’tis the season to talk about makeup favourites, and I decided to do my all time holy grails, not just things I bought or came out this year. First day was yesterday. Today, category is… concealers. But this series of posts is inspired by the 12 Days of Christmas song, soo…
What better way to lead up to Christmas than sharing my absolute makeup favourites?
Inspired by the song “12 days of Christmas”, I’m going to be doing a post a day with my favourite products for each category (foundation, powder, eyeshadow, etc). The first day (today) will have one favourite from a certain category, the second day will have two favourites from another category, the third will have three, and so forth. Which are the categories? Well, that’s a secret until the time of publishing.
Being that for the first day I could only choose one item, and I can’t bring myself to choose just one favourite from a category (could you imagine, just one lipstick? Or one blush? Impossible), I chose a brand. My favourite makeup brush brand. On the first day of Christmas, myself gave to me…
If I had to give this summer a signature lipstick colour, I would say a bright orange red. Summer makeup collections are typically filled with juicy corals and watermelon reds, but this year in particular a strong orange undertone seems to be dominating the lip scene. I’m all for it.
You know that feeling when you just found something so inconspicuous to be so amazing? Like randomly choosing a wine at the supermarket and finding out it’s the best red you’ve ever had. Like, Emma Stone could never.
This is what these five products are – better than Emma Stone. Surprisingly so.
Well, I’m still working from home, and I can’t really go anywhere without constantly giving my nose, mouth and chin a mini-sauna, courtesy of a surgical mask, so I’ve become less and less interested in outfits and clothes, and more and more into makeup. I can still look cute in my Zoom meetings, full glam on the face and pyjamas on my legs.
I didn’t do it on purpose, but of all the makeup products that came out in 2019, I got 19. No more, no less. I couldn’t hit that number if I tried. My whole life is a pun.
To be clear, I got 19 makeup products that came out in 2019. I got other products as well, but those have been out of the closet for several years – it’s just that they came into my closet this year.
