MY TOP PRODUCTS!

Here are some of my absolute staples and favourites in my kit & also my own person makeup bag.

There are my holy grail products that I feel I now cannot live without.


  1. EMBRYOYLISSE LAIT CREME

Used regularly in my professional kit, this moisturiser is just HEAVENLY. Suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive, I find this product sinks into the skin so beautifully, without leaving a greasy film before makeup application. The back of the product says it can be used as a primer, and also a face mask. We love a multi-functional product!















2. NARS SHEER GLOW FOUNDATION


Another regularly used product in my kit, as well as my own makeup bag. This foundation is GORGEOUS. The name could be off putting to a full coverage girly, but trust me when I say,

this foundation is buildable! Suitable for all skin types, just needing a little extra bit of powder

if you are oily, seeing as this is incredibly hydrating and leaves a stunning dewiness. I used this on a lot of brides, it provides the perfect coverage but still allows the skin underneath to peep through.















3. REVOLUTION PRO RADIANT UNDER EYE CONCEALER

This concealer is AMAZING. I personally can suffer with undereye creasing with certain concealers. I stumbled upon this one when looking at reviews for the best undereye concealer and I thought I would give it a go in my own makeup bag. WOW! It is the most beautiful consistency, very creamy, not thick and not cakey. For me personally, it's is perfect coverage as I don't suffer with dark circles, but if you do you may possibly want to use colour corrector underneath this.

It's totally weightless and I genuinely can go ALL day without creases!





















4. HUDA BEAUTY EASY BAKE POWDER


I use this on myself and all of my clients. I have shades Pound Cake & Cherry Blossom. Cherry Blossom is absolutely insane for brightening under the eye, without giving it that terrible white cast that can sometimes happen with baking powders. The consistency is beautiful, not too thick and feels so velvety when applying. I can see me buying this again and again!

















5. PINK HONEY BRONZING FACE FROSTING


This stuff is divine! It comes in so many different shades. The pot has so much product in that you can't see yourself ever being able to finish it. It melts into the skin like BUTTER. So easy to blend away, always looks seamless and never muddy. 10/10!



















6. CHARLOTTE TILBURY AIRBRUSH BRONZER

A recent addition to my kit, and I totally get the hype now. Such a gorgeous bronzer. So unbelievably soft, when you apply it onto the skin, it does exactly what it says on the tin and gives

it an airbrush effect. Not the type of bronzer you will get patchiness with at all. The formula of this

is bang on. I need to get a deeper shade, as I do find it doesn't come out as deep as it looks in the pan, but more than happy to expand my shade range on this one!

















7. CHARLOTTE TILBURY BEAUTY LIGHTWAND PINKGASM

Listen, I will always be truthful, the packaging concept of this item sucks. I have several niggles with the packaging itself, so that is the only thing that lets it down. However, the product inside, STUNNING. I have used Pinkgasm & Spotlight so far and both these shades are gorgeous. When they catch in the light, it's a different kind of glow, almost like the skin is wet. I find it the perfect product for bridal to give the skin that lit from within look and extra dew!

















8. NARS ORGASM BLUSHER

Never going to not be in my kit! This has been a staple for years and years and years and I don't see that ever changing. The perfect rose gold pink blush, with gorgeous flecks of fine shimmer.

Bridal, Everyday, Glam, any occasion, this blush suits all.

















9. ICONIC LONDON ILLUMINATOR

I have had this in my kit for as long as I can remember over and over again. There is nothing quite like this product on the market. Things I've tried are similar, but never the same. It is honestly like liquid metal. You can use it before foundation as a base so it glows through the makeup, you can use it on top of makeup on the high points of the face to highlight, you can use it over the chest and shoulders which is especially gorgeous on brides. I can't rate this product enough and I will

always make sure there is a bottle in my kit.
















10. NYX MICRO BROW PENCIL

I cannot find another pencil that beats this one. This is the perfect pencil for creating those hair like strokes through the brows. It has the perfect consistency, not dry but also not creamy, I HATE a creamy eye pencil, because for those with less brow hair, it just doesn't cling to the skin. This is sweatproof, rub proof, I just think it is the most amazing eyebrow pencil I've ever used. When this runs out in my kit, if I can't get hold of it, it's genuinely a show stopper for me, therefore I now make sure I am stocked up at all times!

















11. TOO FACED BORN THIS WAY NATURAL NUDES PALETTE

I only bought this recently for my kit and I don't know how I went this long without it. I kept meaning to buy it and just never got round to it. The more weddings I started to book in, the more I thought, I really need this palette. It has the perfect mix of bronze & pink tones, accompanied by the most gorgeous shimmer shades you will ever see. When these are applied to the lid, they look insane.

The fallout from this palette is minimal and the colour pay off is perfect. This is my new GO TO bridal palette.



















12. TATTI LASHES TRES CHIC INDIVIDUAL LASHES

Omg. I am obsessed with these lashes. I started becoming much less a strip lash girl on myself recently and venturing into the quarter lash. Now I am a fully fledged individual convert.

I don't always use these on clients, but definitely for bridal and bridesmaid I use these very regularly. They are perfect for anyone who wants something quite natural but still noticeably different. The amazing thing is you can totally customise these to the shape of the eye and create

the look you want. I wish they came in a bigger box!!!
















13. NYX LINE LOUD LIP LINER

I am very fussy with lipliners. I want colour pay off but I don't want a lip liner to be too creamy.

This one is the perfect balance. The colour pay off is incredible, and it glides onto the lips beautifully and effortlessly without being so creamy that it isn't long lasting. I find that you could actually just use these lip liners alone with gloss on top, without the need to even add lipstick. That's how pigmented they are! Shade Ambition Statement is an absolute MUA kit must have!

















14. CHARLOTTE TILBURY PILLOW TALK LIPSTICK

Everyone's favourite! This should have been in my kit way longer than it has been, but I had Mac lipsticks in similar shades I wanted to use up first. In terms of bridal, this will be the most requested

colour. This is the perfect pink, I'm yet to come across anyone yet that it doesn't suit. The texture is smooth, doesn't dry the lips out, and is just as beautiful without a lip gloss if wanting to be worn alone. I like to use Pillow Talk Medium lip liner with this one just to give it a little more depth.
















15. URBAN DECAY ALL NIGHTER SETTING SPRAY

Does what it says on the bottle! Hasn't got a heavy fragrance (which I love) suitable for sensitive skin and all other skin types, super refreshing and non sticky. Makes your makeup melt into the skin

so nicely and makes it dance proof, sweat proof, eating Mcdonalds drunk at midnight proof, it will have you covered!
