Hello everyone!
If somebody told me to pick 5 makeup products to take with me to a deserted island, it would be SO difficult, because my makeup bag has so much more makeup than that, and I like to change and not use the same stuff all the time, but if I HAD TO, it would probably be something like this:
| FOUNDATION | Shiseido Synchro Skin Lasting Liquid Foundation
I did a post reviewing this foundation last month (which you can check out here) because it is my favourite foundation at the moment. I love how it blends with my skin, how well it lasts, how perfectly it matches my skin tone, how it blurs out pores and fine lines, the finish... I think I'm pretty much in love with every aspect, so I would certainly be taking it with me to a deserted island.
| CONCEALER | Anastasia Beverly Hills Concealer
I need concealer in my life - it is an absolute must, because if it's not for under your eyes, it's awesome for imperfections. I got this concealer back in December, and I really, really like it. It has a really nice formula, and what I really like about it is that despite being solid, it is very creamy and easy to blend, which doesn't mean it'll crease all over, because once you set it with powder, it won't. It also covers awesomely well, no matter where you use it.
| MASCARA | Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes Mascara
Another definite essential has to be mascara. I feel like no makeup look is complete without it. I can wear no eyeshadow or eyeliner at all, but mascara certainly does make a difference, especially because my lashes are see through lol. This one by Tarte has been my favourite for years. It makes my lashes very long and volumised, plus the waterproof formula holds the curl really well and doesn't go anywhere.

| BLUSH | Urban Decay Naked Flushed
This one is something I use pretty much every single time I put makeup on, even if it's just for the mirror. The good news is that it's a 3-in-1 palette, so it counts as one product (yay!) but, in reality, you have three. The one I own is in the shade Native, and I love how pigmented it is. The highlighter is very pretty, the blush gives you a healthy glow and the bronzer gives you just the right amount of warmth. They are all buildable and amazing quality.
| BROWS | Anastasia Beverly Hills Tinted Brow Gel
Anyone who knows me, knows that I need to have my brows under control. I hate having weird hairs and the best way to deal with it is by applying a brow gel. I normally use the ABH Dipbrow Pomade and then set it with a clear gel, but since I only have room for one product, I picked this tinted brow gel. It is especially good for when you're running a bit low on time, because it saves you one step. This stuff fills them in and keeps them in place perfectly, until you decide to take it off.
| BONUS: LIPS | BURT'S BEES TINTED LIP OIL
So I don't really wear lipstick religiously. I feel like I'm more of a lip balm kinda girl, unless it's a very special event or something, BUT I do wear lip balm all the time. So in order to give my lips that bit of moisture and hydration, I would pick this lip oil as my essential. It's a bit more than a lip balm, but a bit less than a lipstick, and that's why it works perfectly for me.
Hope you enjoyed this post! Thanks for reading me, xo
