There’s something quite soothing about getting ready at my vanity – especially when it’s full of products I genuinely love and reach for on repeat. I thought I’d share a little round-up of the makeup I’ve been using the most lately. These are the bits I find myself naturally reaching for day in, day out – the formulas that blend beautifully, feel nice on the skin, and give that clean, glowy finish I’m always after.
Here’s what’s currently on rotation
Chanel Vitalumière Foundation – Lightweight but buildable, gives skin a healthy radiance without looking shiny. I keep coming back to this.
Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint – For low-effort days where I still want to look polished. This glides on with fingers and just evens everything out.
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders – These need no introduction. I use them to set everything down but still keep that glow. Not flat, never chalky.
Rare Beauty Liquid Contour – The tiniest dot is enough, blends like a dream. You do need to be careful not to overdo it though.
Hourglass Ambient Blush – Adds the most beautiful dimension to my skin, makes it look blurred and perfect, and stays in place all day.
Fenty Beauty Shimmer Highlighter – ALWAYS on rotation. For that slightly extra glow when I’m feeling it. I mainly use it as a shimmer eyeshadow topper, and body highlight.
Chanel Ombre Première Laque Eyeshadow – A swipe of this and you’re done. It’s so easy and adds that subtle shimmer without looking too much.
Tom Ford Blush and Highlight Duo – A classic. Rich, buttery shades that blend beautifully. The golden tones in this palette are especially wearable.
Makeup by Mario Soft Sculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer – Perfect for quick mornings. Blend it on with a dense brush or beauty blender, focusing on those areas the light hits, and you’re good to go. Really, really love this one.
Chanel Rouge Coco Flash – Feels like a balm but with the look of a gloss. The perfect throw-in-your-bag lipstick.
Glossier Ultralip – Super hydrating, lovely sheer colour. Great for low key days.
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm – Technically skincare, but I use it like a gloss. Smells amazing too. Don’t think I really need to go on too much about this to be fair…
