It’s been a long time since I’ve written up a makeup favourites and I’m not going to lie I’ve missed it! We’re down to our last few weeks of warm(ish) weather before autumn sets in so these are a few of my end of summer makeup picks that I’ve been reaching for to create a quick and easy glowy summer base.
With the warm weather I haven’t wanted to wear a heavy foundation, it clogs your pores and just feels too much in the sunshine. The perfect solution has been Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter with a little bit of Nars Soft Matte Concealer to cover any blemishes and dark under eye circles. The Flawless Filter evens out your complexion and gives it a beautiful glow. I’m honestly obsessed with it.
I’ve then been reaching for Touch In Sol’s Pang Pang Sun Cutting Powder to set my face. This powder has SPF 30 so protects your face from the sun and can be reapplied over your makeup throughout the day too without ruining your makeup with a cream based SPF. It’s so important to wear an SPF every day, even throughout autumn and winter so this powder is the perfect solution.
Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow is a staple no matter what the season. I don’t think I’ll ever find a bronzer or highlighter I love as much, they apply effortlessly and are worth every penny. If you haven’t purchased this palette yet then it needs to be added to the top of your ‘to buy’ list, you won’t regret it.
Being pale I constantly look blushed in the warm weather anyway so I apply a small amount of Hourglass’ ethereal glow blush on the apples of my cheeks to give a little bit of subtle colour.
Glossier Boy Brow has consistently been my brow product of choice over the past year, it sets my brows without making them go ‘crispy’ like some cheaper brow products on the market and I love that there’s a tinted option to give my brows a little extra definition.
Lancome’s Monsieur Big Mascara has become my new holy grail mascara, I have the original formula and the waterproof and reach for either depending on what I’m doing each day. Both formula’s last all day with little to no smudging and give my lashes a real boost.
So many lovely products! I love the CT flawless filter, really does give the perfect glow xx

I haven’t tried any of these! I’ve always liked the Hourglass powders though so I’m sure the blush is amazing. I dug Illamasqua cream pigment out recently and I’ve been obsessed with that x

I had an MUA do my makeup this week and she used a Charlotte Tilbury base product (which I’ve never tried before) and oh my goodness I was so impressed! It made my skin look amazing and stayed on ALL day. I honestly wish I had the money to invest in more of her products as I’d love them so much. I’ve been loving the Clinique Moisture Surge sheertint in this warm weather!

Love the CT bronze and glow palette, have been using it now everyday for a couple of years, and it is my favourite xx

I’m definitely in the market for some new make-up so this post is right up my street! I love the spindle of the powder which has SPF in it! I always wear SPF on my face. The Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood flawless filter sounds great! I’ll have to invest in some myself 🙂

I love your little make-up rack and your current favorites; current is an excellent word. I know how swiftly one’s favorites can change and love the honesty behind the word ‘current’.
How do you find the CT bronzer as a pale girl? I’ve tried a multitude of bronzer before but always find them too dark. Also, couldn’t agree more about Boy Brow – best brow product out there in my opinion!
These all sound like wonderful makeup products! I really want to try the charlotte tilbury bronze and glow!
