My Make-up kit favourites

MAC Face & Body Foundation This foundation is lightweight, buildable and comes in all the skin colours you could imagine. For those of you who struggle to find a foundation that is light enough the white in particular is brilliant for mixing with other foundations to create the perfect colour. This foundation is particularly great for photoshoots.

Benefit High Brow I LOVE this product! Multi-functional products are fabulous. I use this not only to create a lifted brow effect but also on the water line to create a bigger eye and on the cupids bow to highlight and give a gorgeous pout. www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner Genius little award winning product... comes in a variety of different colours and is so easy to use. You can get the definition of a liquid eyeliner or a softer effect. This product is ideal for brides as it's waterproof and does not smudge throughout the day / night like wax based pencils.

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion Celebrity favourite and again one for the brides or anyone who get's an annoying spot the day before a big day. Before bed cleanse your face and pop this onto your whitehead - by morning it's all dryed up - yay! I'm a BIG fan. www.hqhair.com

MAC Greasepaint Sticks These are fantastic to use as an eye shadow base. They are water-resistant and really intensify the eye shadow colour you put on top. Also brilliant if you want to use gloss on top of your eye shadow to stop separation. www.maccosmetics.co.uk

Chanel Pro Lumiere Foundation I LOVE this. I don't know what more to say. It gives you a really gorgeous radiant glow, goes on beautifully (best applied with a brush) and photographs amazingly. The only reasons I wouldn't choose this product are if you have very oily skin or prefer a really matt finish. www.boots.com

Dermalogica Oil Conrol Lotion This is great if, like me, you suffer from oily skin. It leaves me with a matte finish all day and I love how my skin feels after using it. www.hqhair.com

MAC Eye Shadow - Contrast If you're after a more dramatic eye without it being too black, this slightly blue eye shadow is perfect. Works brilliantly on top of the MAC Greasepaint stick. www.maccosmetics.co.uk

Benefit BADgal Lash mascara My favourite quick fix mascara. I trust that if I applied this mascara without a mirror it would be full on and fabulous and most importantly clump free - perfect. www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk
