My High-End Makeup Picks

 

I love high-end makeup, but there are so many brands to choose from, which can be a little daunting when you're starting out with makeup. Over the past year or so I have purchased or kindly gifted quite a bit of high-end makeup, so today I thought I would share with you my favourite picks just in case you're wanting to treat yourself!!

Benefit That Gal Brightening Face Primer // £22.50
First up is a primer that I absolutely love, I only discovered this primer back in June but I have loved it ever since and I'm now onto my second travel sized one. This primer literally does what it says, it brightens up your face. It feels really nice and smooth on the skin and blends really well, this is such a nice primer for the spring and summer to give you really nice bright looking skin!!

MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation // £22.00
Next up is a product that I talk about all the time on my blog, and that is MAC Studio Fix. I'm obsessed with this foundation and I'm onto my second bottle now, which defitnley shows something!! This foundation blends into the skin really easily and gives a really nice airbrushed look. I actually wrote a review about it here, so if you want a more in depth description go check it out!!

 
Benefit Hoola Bronzer // £23.50
A new product that I have recently fallen head over heels in love with is Hoola by Benefit. This bronzer is amazing for contour as it isn't too orange for my skin tone but also doesn't look muddy either. Hoola has become part of my everyday makeup routine now because I love it so much and I would totally recommend it!!

Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Eyeshadow Palette in The Vintage Vamp // £38.00
Another new product that I have fallen in love with is the Charlotte Tilbury palette in The Vintage Vamp, I'm obsessed with how gorgeous this palette is the shades are right up my street but also bring me out of my comfort zone a bit as well. The eyeshadows themselves are super creamy and easy to blend (I also wrote a review on this palette which you can read here, if you want to know more about this product!!)

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara // £19.50
Moving onto mascara, one of my two favourite high-end mascara is Benefit Roller Lash. This mascara is amazing at curling your lashes but also giving my other favourite mascara a sort of 'base' to work with. Roller Lash really makes my lashes pop and also gives them a really nice shape.

 
Benefit Bad Gal Lash // £17.50
Keeping on the theme of mascaras, my other favourite is Bad Gal Lash which is also by Benefit. This mascara gives really nice volume to my lashes and makes them stand out more. When this is paired with Roller Lash, they are the dream team!!

MAC Lipstick in Lovelorn // £15.50
Since spring (nearly summer!)  is upon us I thought I would include one of my favourite high-end pink lipsticks which is MAC's Lovelorn. This shade is absolutely gorgeous and looks really nice on the lips, it's super creamy so doesn't dry out your lips and the pigmentation is amazing!!

Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray // £22.00
Finally the last product I want to talk about is a setting spray, I decided to include this product at the end because most of the time it's the last makeup product I use in my routine. This setting spray by Urban Decay is amazing and so worth the money, I have the travel size at the moment but I will defintley be purchasing the full sized product once I run out. This keeps my makeup on all day and I used this whilst I was on holiday in the summer to keep my makeup on at night, and even though the country I went to was very hot it kept my makeup on all night!!

So those are my high-end makeup picks, I hope you enjoyed this post and hopefully it will have helped those of you who are looking for some new high-end makeup bits to buy!!
