Back to Basics


After watching Anna's new video (the capsule make-up bag) this Sunday, it got me thinking about what I would put in my basics/capsule category, and today I'm sharing them with you!


A good all round base that works for most occasions would have to be the Dr Jart+ BB Cream. A good medium coverage, especially for a BB cream, with a lovely glow and skincare properties it has pretty much all you want from a base. My two favourite concealers are Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Concealer and the Estee Lauder Double Wear. I'm still yet to find a powder that wows me, but the  Bourjois Healthy Balance powder is doing alright at not caking and keeping shine away.


As I have a bit of discolouration in my eyes MAC's Painterly soon sorts them out. To make me look more awake a quick slick of Rimmels Scandaleyes in Nude really brightens tired peepers. A mascara that thickens and lengthens the lashes has to be Max Factor's False Lash Effect. To add some brow definition in a flash, Max Factors Brow Pencil in Hazel is a definite go to.


Wow, lots of 'other' products here... The Nars Multiple in Portofino is the perfect blush. Blob it on, blend it in and bobs your uncle. A lip product I love is this Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie.

 What would be your basics?

    My number 1 basic would be skin79 bb cream as I can't function without it and I'm big into my primers so I'd have to have one too! Hard to give up anything really haha!

    Love this post idea :) I didn't realise The Multiple was so small, at least compared to the Revlon Lip Butter. Need to give more love to Berry Smoothie - have sorely neglected most of my Lip Butters for no reason. I'd love to try the Dr Jart+ BB Cream but I don't think it's available here!

      Thanks :) I know, they aren't the biggest! I think the reason may be your large lipstick collection ;)
      Oh no, Australia is missing out!
