I have recently been using the rimmel stay matte foundation however it's really difficult to blend due to the texture of it and I've known for a good while that i needed a new foundation. Despite my oily T zone, I decided that i wanted a foundation that made my skin glow rather than looking matte. I definitely achieved this by wearing the rimmel wake me up foundation as there are shimmers running through it, as well as this it offers great coverage and has a really fruity smell - not that that matters. The wake me up concealer is very similar to this and is perfect for covering dark under eye circles.
The next thing that I bought was the rimmel fix & perfect pro primer which claims to: smooth, resurface, brighten, mattify and protect. I can't be too sure that it actually does all this though I definitely think that it creates a really nice, even complexion.
Another thing that I bought was the rimmel stay matte pressed powder (I seem to have an obsession with rimmel) I only use a light dusting of this to set my foundation.
If I'm completely honest, I have never actually purchased bronzer or blusher myself; I have always just 'borrowed' them off my mam as she has stacks of makeup from when she was more into makeup as a student, though most products are now discontinued. I'm not very picky with my bronzer and blusher and will settle for cheaper brands as lack of pigmentation means it's easier not to look like a clown. The ones I got were the collection mosaic glow bronzer and MUA blusher which was £1 from superdrug, though I can't remember the price of the bronzer. Whilst at the collection/collection 2000 section of Tesco, I also picked up their brown gel eyeliner as I think black is too bold and I had only ever used liquid and pencil eyeliner before.
I've heard a lot of people rave about the real techniques brushes so I finally decided to order some on amazon. They were roughly ten pounds each so I only got the expert face brush and powder brush. So far I am really enjoying using them and they are so soft. I use the expert face brush for concealer and foundation and the powder brush for applying the pressed powder, bronzer and blusher.
The final thing that I bought was the NYX jumbo eye pencil in milk, which I also ordered from amazon as they are not available in the UK. It is super creamy and I use it to: put in the corners of my eyes, highlight my brow bone and as an eye primer as it brightens eyeshadow as well as making them last longer.
