Other Makeup Essentials (which my preference for what brand constantly changes)

Liquid Eyeliner
At the moment I'm using maybelline line stiletto in black. I'm not really sure I like it that much, it's really hard to get a precise line. Although it is a very good colour and gives a really intense look, great for going out. When it runs out I will definitely try a different one with the same colour intensity but that goes on more smoothly. Maybe its me that can't apply it properly but I think its the applicator, I'm not really sure what's wrong with it, it just makes it very difficult to get a smooth line. The formula is great but.

Gel Eyeliner
Most gel eyeliners are quite similar, i don't think any brand is better than the other. Gel liner is great for a softer less intense look then liquid. I mostly use liquid because I love the intense look but sometimes if i want to tone it down or if I can't be bothered (as i find liquid more difficult to apply) I use gel. Currently I'm using napoleon perdis gel liner in equinox (which is black). I recommend this product, it stays on really well and I'd probably buy it again when it runs out.

Crayon Eyeliner
I use maybelline unstoppable in onyx, I probably should of mentioned this in my favourites as I've been using this for a long time and even when I change to a similiar product I always end up going back to using this one. It's pretty much the only product that I could say I've been using for years. I guess it's not one of my favourites because I don't love it, it's just an everyday necessity for me. I'm really happy with it, it stays on well and is a good colour. I only use on my lower lash line, i don't think it would be precise enough to use on the top.

Foundation
Duh!! I think liquid foundation is the best, it blends easily with your skin. I find with say a mousse if you don't work it in properly it can look blotchy. Liquid foundation is the safest option. I usually wear one that is long lasting. At the moment I'm using the new mabelline super stay foundation but I would also recommend the revlon colour stay. Both give a full coverage that lasts for ages, great for a long night out. For a lighter coverage I use the mabelline mineral liquid foundation. I don't really use it that often because I have really bad skin sometimes so I need the full coverage.
