Made with makeup

So guys, I know a lot of you will know about the new collection at MAC, inspired by the one and only Marilyn Monroe!

For many people, this collection has been a long time coming and personally, I’m so excited to get my hands on some of these goodies!

With the stunning colours, it makes it simple to create that 1950s look and with names like “love goddess”, every girl needs some of these products, agree?!

The  30 piece collection includes five glamorous lipsticks, three lip pencils, five stunning nail polishes, four eye shadows, blush, lipglass, brow finishers, mascara and eyeliner that will have you looking camera ready!

This collection is available from next month, both in stores and online. For now, we will just have to wait!!

So every bride on their big day wants to feel flawless and fabulous and that is why I’m going to tell you some make up products that will keep you in looking fresh all day long! On your wedding day, you want make up that will last the duration of the day/night, keep you looking glamorous without you having to worry that it has all came off.  It’s always difficult when you’re trying to choose what make up look you want for that one special day of your life that you will always remember but what is even more difficult is trying to find the perfect products that fit the bill. It’s important that the cosmetics you choose are long lasting, long wearing and looks like it has just been applied all day long.

Here are some products that I think every bride needs on that one special day to make you feel like the perfect bride.

FOUNDATIONS

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation (£26.50) is one of the best foundations in the cosmetic market. This make up is very suitable and recommended for your big day as it is a medium/ buildable coverage, it lasts up to 15 hours, it has amazing staying power, doesn’t smudge, so you remain flawless all day long (so that is one less worry) and feels lightweight on your skin so you don’t feel to caked!

Other foundations I would recommend are: Illamasqua rich liquid foundation (amazing coverage, long lasting and feels light on the skin) and mac studio fix foundation, again really great coverage, lasts all day long and feels great on the skin!

EYELINERS

Most brides rely on liquid eyeliner to give that dramatic edge, which is why I am recommending Estee Lauder Double Wear Liquid Eyeliner Zero smudge (£19.00). This eyeliner has the best staying power out of all the liquid eyeliners I have tried, with staying power of 15 hours. It is zero smudge and its super fine felt tip applicator makes it easy to give that defined line.

Other eyeliners I would recommend are: Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner as it is long wearing and comes in so many different shades to suit everyone!

LIPSTICKS

Once again, you want a lipstick that keeps its colour, stays in place without the need to re-apply and that is why I am recommending mac pro long wearing lipcreme to you.  It is a lightweight texture, beautifully and creamy on your lips, comes in so many different shades and lasts up to 12 hours, which is just what you need!

Other lipsticks I would recommend are: Maybelline super stay 24 colour, max factor lip stain and Benefits benetint that stains the lip and keeps in the colour.

Whatever products you choose, just make sure that they have good staying power, lasts for more than 5 hours and can keep you looking fresh all day long, after all, you will be looking at the photos for the rest of your life!!!
