I saw this post going around on blogger and thought it would be fun to do as a summary of my favourites of 2010! I love monthly favourites ESPECIALLY end of the year favourite posts/videos on youtube so if you haven't done this yet, make sure you post this on your blog and link it in the comment box below! I would love to read it!
Makeup
Concealer: Currently I'm testing out MAC Pro longwear concealer and YSL Touche Eclat (a highlighter, though I use it under my eye area) so I can't say quite yet if these beat out my trusty MAC Studio Finish.
Powder: MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural (for face) and Ben Nye Neutral Set Translucent Powder (for under eye). I haven't been using powder very often as my skin is even more dry than usual in the winter time. However, if I were to reach for powder, these are what I would use.
Blush: NYX Cream Blush in "Rose Petal"
Bronzer: I can't decide between Chanel Soliel De Tan (Bronze Universel), NARS Laguna Bronzer or MAC Refined Golden Bronzer. I love bronzer!
Highlight: NARS Albatross all-time FAVOURITE highlighter hands down.
Eyeshadow: My favourite eyeshadow of all time is MAC Solar White. I use it to highlight the inner corner of my eye, or when I'm really daring, I use it to highlight my brow bone for a night out on the town. However, I'm going to break this category down into three: Lid, Crease, Highlight. My favourite eyeshadow for the Lid is MAC Grain e/s, Crease is MAC Cork e/s, Highlight is MAC Ivorie. My favourite palette is Urban Decay's Naked Palette!
Eyeliner: Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil in "Zero" (<---AMAZING!!!!), and MAC Blacktrack Fluidline.
Eyeshadow primer/base: Urban Decay Primer Potion
Eyelash curler: ELF Eyelash Curler
Mascara: CoverGirl Lash Blast Volume Mascara in Very Black (the original one in the orange tube)
Lipstick: MAC Brave New Bronze (this was a very hard decision)
Lipgloss: MAC Partial to Pink (this was a very hard decision)
Nail polish: If you asked me right now I would tell you I'm OBSESSED with Sephora by OPI "It Looks Like Rain, Dear". However, it still can't replace my coveted OPI "My Private Jet".
