Current Favorites

In this post today I am going to separate all the things I have been loving, beauty and non-beauty favorites into their relative subcategories.

BEAUTY 

Makeup:

• First off is the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation, I have been loving this foundation recently because with the summer in full swing (She says as it is pouring down with rain) this foundation is super light however it offers the perfect amount of coverage.
• On the same Rimmel note I have been loving their new(ish) Lasting Finish Concealer . This really rivals my M.A.C Prolongwear and for me it doesn't crease underneath my eyes which is such a selling point for me. 
• Another Rimmel Concealer favorite is the Wake Me Up. Not being a fan of the foundation I let the concealer just sit in my drawer but the other day I whacked it back out and haven't stopped using it .
• For bronzers I have been loving the Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Bronzer in the Shade Golden Days combined with the Bourjois Delice de Poudre Duo.

Skincare

Recently I have been loving the Soap & Glory The Ultimelt Deep Purifying Hot Cloth Cleanser his is a great pamper item. I use it about once a week at the end of the week to treat my face. The product is thick and creamy and smells amazing (as do all of S&G’s products). I massage it into my face as per the directions and then wipe it off with the cloth provided. My face is left wonderfully soft, smooth and radiant. I absolutely love it. Another great product in the range.

Concealer 101

My Brushes 101 seemed to go down really well so I was thinking of making this into a little series on Charlotte's Corner. Today I wanted to discuss Concealers and what the different ones do.

Creamier consistency concealers such as the Rimmel Lasting Finish one is great for covering any spots/ blemishes/ pigmentation. This consistency is not good for under the eyes as it is quite heavy and can cause creasing.

The Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer is one of my favorites for under the eyes as it is fairly light and has good pigmentation.

Highlighting pens such as the Maybelline Dream Touch Lumi are really good when cream contouring or for highlighting under the eye's.

Last but not least is long lasting concealer. Budget friendly versions include the cult classic Collection Lasting Perfection which is super creamy and high coverage, then you have the MAC prolongwear concealer that is pricier but does a great job at everything- undereye concealing and highlighting, priming the eyelids for shadow, covering redness. JUST FAB!

My Foundation Routine

So I love wearing makeup and one thing that I love applying strangely is foundation. I wanted to share my foundation routine with you because some people might be interested or looking for a new foundation or maybe looking for a way to apply their foundation.

So as you can see I own a fair few foundations and they're just my mostly worn ones! They all have different qualities and uses so therefore I chose different ones depending on what look I'm going for so let me talk you through each one and why I love them;

• Rimmel Lasting Finish 25hr Nude with SPF 20 is a great everyday medium coverage base. I prefer to apply this with a brush as I find that way I get the nicest texture and finish which is very much satin as it feels smooth on the face, I would say that this foundation is more on the dewy side. It definitely does not last for 25hr so therefore I always try to get the most wear out of it by setting it with a powder and using a primer.
• M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid is a great maximum coverage foundation and I love applying this with a damp beauty blender as this is the way that I get maximum coverage. This foundation does have SPF in it but for me it doesn't create flash back so it's great for special occasions.
• Rimmel Match Perfection is a great low to medium coverage dewy foundation. I like wearing this when I'm just running errands or if I want to look highlighted. I have dry skin and sometimes it can look really dehydrated so this foundation really adds some extra glow!
• L'Oreal Infallible 24hr Matte foundations is a great long lasting bullet proof low end version of Estee Lauder Double Wear. I love wearing this when I have a lot to do or when I'm going to work as work can sometimes get really hot and like I said this foundation is BULLET PROOF.
• Next is L'Oreal True Match and I love this at is super dewy and adds a really nice glow to the skin, It's water based so does feel like it adds extra hydration back into my skin. I prefer wearing this when my skin looks super dry as to not look like a grease ball!

What are your go to foundations and how do you apply them?
