My Favorite Kit Items Part 1....

I get asked a lot when I am working what my favorite products are from my kit so I thought I would share with you all what these are.
The Primer of all Primers:
I got into Smashbox long before it was available here so I ordered myself some tester size primers to try it out and I was hooked.


The primer goes on like butter it does feel a bit like watered down vaseline but without the grease. When applied to the face it leaves the skin smooth and ready to apply your foundation and concealer.


This primer has quite a matte finish.


I love this product so much because it minimizes the need to retouch on shoots and is a brides best friend.


Smashbox do an array of primers from their best seller Photo Finish (my fav) to bronzing and corrective primers.


Smashbox can be purchased in the UK from Debenhams and Just Beauty Direct






Foundation:
I do love me some MAC Face and Body. F+B is a great product for the natural look and its water based so none of those awful oils clogging up your pores.(I don't use it on myself but that is a whole new post!)


F+B is very thin however this does not mean that you cant build up great coverage because you can. 


The only downside with F+B is that it goes off quite quickly unless like me you keep it in the fridge!


To buy or locate a store near you visit www.maccosmetics.com


The Ultimate Concealer:
Yaby concealers are the bomb!


They give a full coverage without looking cakey and once they are on they do not budge for something so small they go along way.


These little babies are even water proof which is always a bonus.


Shameless plug: These can be purchased at The Make-up Artist Boutique :) or direct from yaby


So thats part one! more to come soon x
