50 Shades of Fabulous: Everything Beauty: Top 10 Holy Grail Make-Up Products

We all have those products....the ones that we can absolutely not live without, the HOLY GRAIL of all things beauty!!! How I plan to narrow it down to ten befalls me, but I will do my best ;-) Please keep in mind, that these products are MY Faves and work for me personally....meaning just because they work for me, doesn't mean they will work for you! I have tried to pick products that are affordable and attainable, so you can try them out too!

1. Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer

No surprise to the YouTube community, this HOLY GRAIL concealer would be my one "desert island" item. This concealer is absolutely amazing. I use it under my eyes as well as everywhere else, to brighten, treat and conceal my skin. I love the applicator sponge and the price is fantastic!

2. Physician`s Formula CoverTox Ten 50 Powder

Ahhhh, my miracle powder! This is THE most amazing product. I mostly use it to set my concealer and foundation. It leaves such a beautiful finish, lasts forever and diminishes wrinkles and fine lines. Convinced yet? It has an almost transparent finish and doesn't leave a white cast like some setting/HD powders. Another bonus...use it on your decolletage to cover up ageing skin and sun damage.

3. MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack

This has been one of my favourites for YEARS! MAC's Fluidline in Blacktrack is such a beautiful liner. The pigmentation is perfect and the texture allows for more error than it's liquid liner counterparts. It doesn't dry instantly, which gives you time to blend it out if needed. I do use this product on my waterline occasionally and it stays forever! Lasts all day and totally worth the price. Best applied with an angle brush.

4. Rimmel Blush in Autumn Catwalk

For a self confessed "blush whore", I am amazed at this blush. This looks SO good on....I blend all the colours together and apply it to the apple of my cheeks. Although I am not a big fan of the packaging (little flimsy), I find myself reaching for this more than my MAC and NARS blushes. I did have a hard time finding this in stores, so I purchased a few of them off e.Bay. Absolutely affordable and long lasting.

5. The Balm Nude Tude Palette

Yes, I know I am going against the majority on this one by not choosing UD's Naked Palettes, but OMG, this Nude Tude Palette from The Balm is FABULOUS!!! I have used each and every colour and love every single one of them. The colours are very pigmented, although the pans are a little smaller then I would like them to be. I think the packaging is why I originally purchased this, I mean, how adorable is this?

6. Neutrogena Make-Up Wipes

I LOVE these wipes. Before these, I was using MAC Wipes for about 8+ years, so I think that says a lot about these ones from Neutrogena. They are so soft and remove all signs of make-up (even my Fluidline Blacktrack!) with ease. They don't dry out near the end of the bag like some and will leave your skin feeling refreshed and clean. I have sensitive skin and these wipes don't irritate or cause me to break out. For under $10, you can't go wrong! A make-up case must have.

7. MAC Face Primer

I always end up going back to this CULT Fave. Although it is slightly more expensive than some popular drugstore primers, I believe it is worth every penny. I apply this over my face and neck with a flat top type brush. Not only does it extend my product and make it more blendable, it gives staying power to my foundation/concealer/powder. A good primer really does make a difference in your face routine, especially if you have ageing skin, as it disallows make-up from settling into fine lines and wrinkles.

8. PUR Minerals 4-in-1 Pressed Foundation

I have been using this product for about 2+ years and still love it as much as the first day I tried it. It is my everyday face and gives me an airbrushed look in minutes. It looks so natural, that no matter how close you look in the mirror, you can't see any product sitting on top of your skin. Full of good-for-your-skin ingredients, this powder won't clog your pores and break you out and will work for the even the most sensitive of skin types.

9. MAC Paint Pot in Constructivist

Don't get me wrong, I love MAC's Soft Ochre and Painterly for my everyday base but this rich bronze/brown base gets used AT LEAST once a week. For a quick, sexy, smoky brown eye, this base will do the job. Constructivist is a beautiful base under shadows or even worn alone. Such a gorgeous, workable finish, this will become one of your faves, promise ;-)

10. Vichy Sunless Tanner Moisturizing Milk (Sensitive Skin)

If you want beautiful, tan, moisturised skin all year round, this is your product!! I use this on my face and neck twice a week to give my skin a fabulous bronze glow. Not streaky or smelly, this sunless tanner applies beautifully. Vichy is known for their skincare line and this product definitely stands up to par. It does not break you out or make your skin greasy like all the other face tanners I have tried. One bottle will usually last about 3 months. Who ever said Summer was the only season you can be the Bronze Sun Goddess you deserve?!
