Bloody spent ages writing this out and lost my page
Right my lovely
Affordable- catrice are amazing, their true skin foundation, concealer & powder, their hibiscus blush is my favourite, their clean ID bronzer is great as are their highlighters & mascaras, read the reviews on just my look & tati westbrook has videos on their foundation, as does Gemma from pampered wolf, she's uk based. That would be my drugstore full face, really Affordable but feels luxurious, so lots of nice forumulas and packaging, plus that blusher is favoured to my pat mcgrath and chanel ones, so I'd recommend that in every category.
Lips, I'd splash out, get a decent CT one, her forumlas are bomb, that or just a lovely tinted balm.
If you're splashing out, I'd recommend-
Lisa eldridge foundation for a satin finish or shisedo radiant lifting for a glowy luminous one. For a more matt finish maybe a nars and their concelar is bomb.
The nars pallettes for cheeks are insanely good, their highlighters aren't glittery, just fresh and glowy.
Bronzer CT, the big airbrush one or for cream the chanel one.
Mascara is so personal, I find nars, ct all smudge on me, my ultimate is the pat mcgrath darkstar, but it's £24 full price, so I'd wait for a sale or stick to loreal's miss hippie or roller lashes in waterproof.
Lips, Lisa eldridge, CT are lovely ones!
Eyebrows I'd go for benefit or refy.
The inky list have excellent skincare, the ordinary also aren't bad, neither brand are too expensive, if you're investing please invest in a SPF.
Eyeshadow pallette I hate CT eyeshadow and love natasha denona, who also does mini pans. Pat mcgrath if you're splashing out, but that's a huge price for an eyeshadow. Wait for sales.
Watch some pampered wolf or Charlotte holdcroft on YouTube if you can, they're both busy mums and have really amazing looks and are sweet youtubers.
The CT primer is lovely, it's so glowy, but if not that one I'd not bother in all honesty, just good skincare!
Have a read of reviews before you splash out, but they're what I'd recommend for my busy mum mates.
Mrs parsnip won't even let me pluck her brows
I'd love some girly mates to talk about all this with, can ya tell
