Products I love

As a Beauty Editor and a full-time makeup artist, I am always trying new products and work closely with lots of different beauty brands.  The benefit of this is that my product knowledge for skin types, skin tones and new tools in the industry is always growing.  When I love a product, it generally gets transferred in to my makeup kit to use and recommend to clients.

Quite often I get asked for product recommendations as well as recommending specific products in my makeup lessons (depending on skin type etc).  I have collated my favourite products so that you can see at a glance what I recommend. 

For your ease, I have listed the products under several headings;

  • Face/Skin/Priming Products
  • Eye Products
  • Blush/Bronze/Highlight Products
  • Lashes
  • Tools

I will periodically update these products depending on what I am loving at the time… although I am sure some will remain as staple favourites.  After all, I’m a firm believer of “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it”

If you click on the image of the product it will take you straight to a purchase point to buy.  I do not personally sell/stock these products but you will be able to buy them from my link.
