I wrote a post about my beauty favorites almost two years ago, but since then I’ve come across a few new favorites. While I then was a student and mostly bought cheap brands, I now put a little extra money in it, and most of the time it’s worth it.

I don’t use foundation on a daily basis, this is mostly for nights out or when I want to look my absolute best. After doing a little investigation I ended up with Estèe Lauder Individualist Natural Finish Makeup. It´s a little darker than my skin tone, something I’ve avoided in the past, but this one evens out so nicely and the result is great without looking unnatural.

From the same brand I also got a primer, the Estèe Lauder Skin Tone Perfector. It’s a base that you put on before the foundation. It evens out the skin tone and makes the makeup last longer and makes it easier to apply. I tested the product on one of my hands to compare with the other, and it really works. Those areas that are a little red get toned down and it gives a nice glow prior to applying the rest of the makeup.

It was a friend of mine who introduced me to YSL Radiant Touch. I’ve had a hard time finding concealers before, and no matter what I bought, they always seemed magically disappear within no time. After testing hers I tried it out once more in the store along with a bunch of other things, and after wiping it all of with a tissue, the YSL Radiant Touch was the only one that stuck even then. Since then it’s become one of the most valued beaty products I own.

Since I was already shopping from YSL I also got their compact powder, YSL Poudre Compacte. Here I have several favorites, and I’ve used Estèe Lauder for a long time, so the main reason why I got this is because of the nice box. The powder is super smooth and looks very natural.

Among my old favorites is Max Factor Eyeshadow Earth Spirits which I´ve used almost daily for nearly ten years. I have eye shadows from Chanel, Rimmel, Clinique and many more, but it beats them all. It´s super easy to apply and it lasts for ever. I usually apply it with a moist brush for even better result.
