5 Face Products I Use Daily | Inglot

I have been working as a make up artist for Inglot for a few months now and get people asking me what my favourite Inglot products are .Its pretty hard for me to narrow it down but I have typed up 5 face products I use daily on myself & why I like them . I will write more blog posts on brushes ,foundations & other products in the future . 

In makeovers I choose products that will suit the client so these products our products I use on my own face .

In no particular order (feel like an Xfactor judge writing that lol) 

SPF 20 Face Primer 

I use this everyday .  It has SPF 20 in it which makes it perfect for everyday protection (even in Ireland our skin needs SPF) . The SPF is in the primer which means it wouldn't cause flashback in photography (that only happens if the SPF is in your foundation). I have dry skin so its moisturizes my skin , makes foundation glide easily on top & also acts as a barrier between the foundation & my skin so the foundation doesn't seep into any dry areas . 

AMC 84 Highlighting Powder 

This is only recently become a favourite of mine but its definitely high up there on my list ! I have dry skin so basically what I do is apply this all over my face with a powder brush after is have applied my foundation and it gives my skin a healthy , fresh dewy appearance . 

153 Highlighter

So buttery and easy to apply . Lovely highly pigmented peach toned highlight . The 4SS brush is the perfect size to apply it with & I usually apply it down the center of my nose , tops of my cheekbones , cupids bow & my inner tear ducts .

69 Illuminator

My skin is more on the drier side and because of that I've always loved the look of having glowy skin & always have been a big fan of illuminators . I love all the shades the illuminator comes in but 69 would have to be my favourite just because its a nice champagne shade that give warmth and glow to my skin before foundation . This can be used on oily skin as well because it gives the skin a glow but drys matte so it would add extra moisture to the skin . 

95 Undereye Concealer

 

The undereye concealers are specifically made for the delicate skin around the eye area . The undereye concealer also has a plumping agent in it which plumps out any fine lines under the eyes & it also has an illuminator running through it to give the appearance of brighter more awake eyes . Monday morning essential ! I also use this to carve out brows , prime my eyelid & sometimes even to cut out my crease . 

You can shop Inglot online or in store as there are stores nationwide . 

That's it for this blog post , 

Thanks For Reading .

Eye Makeup To Compilment Dark Lips - Step By Step

Dark lips are seen as a winter trend . In Ireland its feels like its always winter . Dark lips and dark eye make up can clash and are really hard to pull off . When your wearing a dark lip its nice to have an eye make up look that complements the look and is not completely boring. So I thought I would do a blog post on how to achieve this eye make up look that works well with dark lipstick . Oh and the lipstick is from Avon in the colour Vixen, enjoy .

Step 1 : Prime your eyelid using a concealer(i used collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer)  to make the pigment in your eyeshadow more vibrant use your finger to blend it out. 

Step 2 : Using a fluffy blending brush blend some light brown eyeshadow(i used Inglot eyeshadow) into your crease . Make sure its well blended . 

Step 3 :Using black eyeliner(I used Inglot gel eyeliner) starting from the inner corner of your eye drag it out wards an create a flick at the end . 

Step 4 : Apply a black eyeliner pencil(I used MUD pencilled liner) on the tight line of your eye .
 

Step 5 : Using a medium sized eyeshadow brush apply some gold eyeshadow to your inner tear duct (I used half baked from the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette) . 

Step 6 : Apply your favourite mascara (i used Maybelline Great lash blackest black mascara) .

Sorry for the lack of posts the last while , had plans for something new for my blog in 2015 but I'm putting it off for a while because a few things (college etc) . So for now I will be doing my normal make up blog posts . Hope everyone had a nice christmas and have a happy new year :) .

Burnt Orange and Cream - Make up Step By Step

My next look I will need to focus on the lips because this look is once again all about the eyes . Burnt orange is one of my favourite colours for eye make-up especially on blue eyes, It really makes blue eyes pop! I did this make up look before work one morning while watching an episode of gossip girl at the  same time and if I was to do it again there is a few things I would of perfected more and maybe have applied some individual lashes . But I like the over all look so I thought I would write a step by step guide on how to achieve this make up look .

Step 1 : Coffee (or any source of caffeine)

Step 2 : Apply Nyx Jumbo Eye pencil in Milk all over your eyelid and blend it out with a fluffy blending brush.

Step 3 : Using Foxy from my Urban Decay Naked 2 palette I packed it over the milk eye pencil , not applying any cream to theouter corner of my eyes .

Step 4:I then blended out Make up Designory blush in brick with a fluffy brush into my socket.

Step 5 : Apply some of the same Make up designory blush under your eyelid using a small flat brush.
