TOP 5 FAVOURITE MAKE UP PRODUCTS EVER

As you will most likely know, beauty and make up has, within the past year and a half or so, become the central theme of my blog (though I am still working on trying to incorporate a few more fashion themed posts) and so I do now have quite a large collection of make up - I tell myself it's okay to buy make up that I don't need because I can write about it on my blog. With this being said, I do have a few products that are my holy grail, go-to products and that's what today's post is all about - my top 5 favourite make up products, ever.

I won't lie, it was very difficult to narrow this selection down to just five products but, yay for me and yay for you, I've done it. It's a selection of products that, when used together, won't necessarily make up a full face but they are products that my make up collection would not be complete without - products that, no matter what, I always go back to.

L'Oreal True Match foundation


While I did only begin using this foundation in January, it has become a staple in my make up collection and, actually, it has become basically the only foundation I use. I still try use my other foundations but nothing compares to this one - it's incredible. I mean, at £9.99 a bottle, you can't really complain.

MAC Velvet Teddy


If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'll probably have expected that this product would pop up somewhere. I first purchased Velvet Teddy in Paris on my birthday trip back in 2015 and, in all honesty, I haven't looked back since. Velvet Teddy is my perfect lipstick both in shade and formula - I love it and, if I'm ever unsure of what lipstick to wear, Velvet Teddy is my go-to.

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer

Obviously, this is the mini version.

Having picked up the mini of this concealer back in October when I was in New York, I fell completely in love with it and it quickly made it's way into my everyday make up routine, meaning that I had to pick up the full size. I use the shade 'Vanilla' and I think it's great - definitely a holy grail concealer.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit - 'That Glow'


Highlight is definitely one of my favourite steps in any make up look, and that's why picking a favourite highlighter was so difficult for me, however, looking at my make up collection I do think there is a clear winner in the ABH 'That Glow' Glow Kit - it's another one of those products where, if I don't know which highlighter to choose, this is the one for me. My favourite shades in the palette are 'Bubbly' and 'Sunburst' and the glow is incredible - once again, another holy grail for me.

Seventeen Falsifeye HD mascara


For my final product in my top 5 faves of all time, I really wanted to choose an eyeshadow palette but, to be completely honest, I couldn't choose one and, again, looking at my make up collection I thought to myself 'what do you wear on a daily basis that you couldn't live without?' Mascara. I've always said that if I could only ever wear one make up product for the rest of my life it would be mascara. I was torn between the L'Oreal Paradise mascara (which is a recent purchase but I am loving  it) and this one but obviously the clear winner is the Seventeen Falsifeye HD - it's been my favourite for years and I really miss it when I run out and don't have a back up.

So, that concludes my top five favourite make up products of all time. Obviously, I do have other products that I love but these are my select few holy grail products. What are your top favourite make up products?
