Top 10 Tag (makeup products)
16th October 2014
I was tagged by Samantha and nominated to take part in this Top 10 Tag, which is all about your top ten makeup products.
I should note before I begin that I don’t have a huge makeup collection and a lot of the types of products on the list have been marked as “not applicable” (N/A) because I don’t actually wear them.
Rules: Copy and paste everything written in bold, and state which is your favourite of the make-up items below.
1. Foundation
No.7 Stay Perfect Foundation in Cool Ivory.
This is a real natural looking foundation that is light to wear and long lasting.
2. Powder
N/A – I only use bronzer.
3. Concealer
No.7 Stay Perfect Blemish Cover in Extra Fair.
Actually, I think this colour might be a little too light for my skin tone, but it’s been a while since I’ve used it seen as I rely entirely on foundation to cover my acne.
4. Blusher
No.7 Natural Blush.
I don’t wear blusher often, and so it from this tag I have discovered I have none left!!
5. Bronzer
No.7 Perfectly Bronzed Bronzing Pearls.
I wear this to fix my foundation and to give my face some glow.
6. Highlighter
N/A – I don’t use highlighter. I’m going to sound like a damn right idiot but I’m not ever sure what it is *runs away to ask my mum*.
7. Mascara
Soap and Glory Thick and Fast.
I’ve been using this product for year! It’s really gives your lashes volume without looking fake. It’s a perfect fit for my natural look.
8. Eye shadow
N/A – I’ve been considering buying some new eye shadow but I haven’t worn it in years
9. Brows
N/A – I’m pretty proud of the way my eye brows look naturally. They are much darker than my natural hair colour, and so I really wouldn’t want them to stand out any more then they already do!
10. Lip product
No.17 Mirror shine lipstick in the colour Belle.
This lipstick only has a slight hint of colour. In fact, it looks like a gloss without the stickiness of a gloss.

To see how I put some of these products into action, take a look at my daily makeup routine here.
I really like those products you use, in fact I’m not even sure if I use that many, haha! Thanks for the nomination! 🙂
The only other product I use is an eyeliner, and that’s my entire makeup collection!
I’m pants at putting make-up, mostly because I don’t like it and I do it very rarely; when I do, I follow the “order” that my mum and grandma teached me.
First, a little foundation (not always) or blusher.
Second comes the powder.
The eye shadow (again, not always) comes third.
The fourth is the mascara; I almost never use eye liner, as I keep unvoluntarily batting my eyes because it bothers me.
I put lipstick last because, following what mum and grandma told me, it’s the “ultimate, final touch”.
I usually do make-up for ceremonies like weddings and baptisms and such, otherwise I steer clear of it because, whenever I put it on, it feels like I’m wearing a heavy mask of wax.
I do everything in pretty much the same order. I also don’t like wearing makeup but I wear it to cover my acne. I always look forward to taking it all off at the end of the day. 🙂
