Before I start this post I just wanted to say HAPPY NEW YEAR!! It's finally 2016 and it feels so weird saying that!! Anyways since 2015 is now over I thought it would be a good idea to talk you through my makeup favourites from 2015. This is also a collab with the wonderful Hannah, from MoonandRosessx so make sure you check out her blog and find out what her makeup favourites from 2015 are!!
So I don't have a product for each category of makeup e.g. Primer, Eyeliner, Powder. However I do hve a fair few products to get through, so lets get started!
Foundation and Concealer
I grouped these two products together because for me I more or less use them at the same time. My favourite foundation of 2015, would definitely have to be MAC's Studio Fix Fluid, this foundation has amazing coverage and has a matte effect so is perfect for the autumn and winter time.
For concealer again it would definitely have to be anther MAC product. The Mineralize Concealer from MAC is amazing, personally for me I feel like it highlights and conceals at the same time. Also it has super high coverage, so sometimes I just wear it by itself without any foundation.
Bronzer, Highlighter and Blush
I don't really tend to contour my face (mostly because I don't know how to!) However I do love to bronze up my face and for this I used the Sleek Contour Kit, as the contour shade is the perfect shade for bronzing as it's not too orange on my skin. In the same palette I also love the highlight shade as it has a slight bronzed colouring to it which adds a little bit of depth to my face without me having to contour!!
I also love using blush, I feel like without it I still look pale so by putting it on, my face looks instantly healthy!! One blush that I loved throughout 2015 was the I Heart Makeup Triple Baked Blusher in Candy Queen Of Hearts. This blush is a super pretty light candy pink blush colour and is perfect for those people who have pale skin. I definitely wore this one more in the summer as it's more of a summer blush but none the less I still love it.
Eyeshadow, Mascara and Brows
You would probably be able to tell without reading this post or looking at the pictures that my favourite eyeshadow palette of 2015 was definitely my Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. I've done multiple looks using this palette on my blog so you can go and check them out :) Naked 2 is the perfect neutral eyeshadow palette because it has every shade you could possibly imagine!!
For mascara I absolutely loved the Clinique High Impact Mascara. Like blush mascara is one of my favourite things to wear as I feel like it brings the whole look together and without mascara I look awful. This one from Clinique is amazing as it really makes my lashes defined (which is what I love!!)
Filling in my brows is definitely one of my most important things to do in my makeup routine. Gimme Brow fills in my brows but also does it super quick so is perfect for on the go use. Gimme Brow by Benefit is definitely my most favourite eyebrow product I've ever tried, it matches my brows perfectly and honestly you can't go wrong when your filling in your brows using this product!!
Lipsticks
I have a bit of a love/hate situation with lipstick as it can either make or break a makeup look. However I found two lipsticks from the same brand that I absolutely loved throughout 2015 and they definitely made my makeup look amazing!!
The two are MAC Lipsticks, if you read my MAC Lipstick Collection you will know that I do have a few lipsticks from MAC. However I have picked out two of my favourites which I feel like I wore pretty much most of the time!! Those two are Velvet Teddy and Pink Plaid. They are both matte and what I love about them is their not drying on the lips and they are super pigmented!!
So those were my 2015 Makeup Favourites, I really enjoyed writing this post and I do kind of want to do these monthly, but what do you think? Also don't forget to check out Hannah's post and leave her a nice comment!!
