Hello you beauties!
I did a similar post to this last week but the focus on that one was drugstore makeup, whereas today's post is going to be a full face of high end makeup. I was actually very surprised that I managed to find every item needed for a full face but I did (although a lot of things on this list happens to be BareMinerals products) and so here it is.
*Pictures to follow at a later date*
1. My choice of primer is the BareMinerals Prep Step primer. While it isn't the best primer I have ever used, it really is moisturising which is why I tend to use it a lot.
2. The high end foundation I always go for is the BareMinerals Original Foundation in the shade 'Light' - one reason because it is the only high end foundation I own but also because it offers great coverage while being very lightweight.
3. My high end foundation of choice is the BareMinerals (I told you!) concealer in the shade 'Bisque', which doesn't offer the best coverage but works really well with the foundation as they are both powder products.
4. To finish my base, I always use the BareMinerals (I know, this is getting ridiculous!) Hydrating Mineral Veil, which I love as it is easy to just dust over while giving my skin a little more 'life' to it.
5. When I'm using high end products, I am usually doing so to impress. So I contour rather than just giving a warm glow. For this, I always swear by using the Benefit Hoola bronzer (yes, finally, something other than BareMinerals!) which you all know it is one of my favourite bronzers of all time despite it being a little more pricey than my Bourjois bronzer.
6. Back to BareMinerals, for blush I always reach for my BareMinerals blushers and my favourite one has to be the shade 'The Whisper'.
7. For highlight, I love using the Stila liquid luminizer in the shade 'Kitten Shimmer' which surprisingly works well over powder products and I use for a lovely warm glow.
8. For eyeshadows, I am a massive fan of BareMinerals eyeshadow quads. I usually reach for their one called 'A List'.
9. I recently discovered the Princess Marcella Borghese mascara which has now become one of my favourite mascaras to use.
10. I usually stick to my Freedom or Soap and Glory eyebrow products, but when I want to use a high end brow pencil, I always use the Benefit Goof Proof brow pencil.
11. Finally, no look is complete without something on the lips, I really really love the Giorgi Armani lipgloss in the shade 'Pink' which isn't a sticky gloss and adds a hint of glitter/shimmer while not being too over the top.
I don't usually use high end products - do you? If so, what would you recommend?

Hello you beauties!
I've seen a lot of people do videos like this on YouTube and I've been meaning to do a post about this for a while but never really got round to it. I guess I wanted to build up my makeup collection and see what worked for me first before deciding on a full face of makeup that I would lean to a lot. But here it is. A full face of drugstore makeup.
1. First I would apply the Nivea Men Post Shave Balm as a primer base, which since I first purchased it has always been my go-to primer.
2. Then I would apply my Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation in the shade 'Light Vanilla' which is definitely one of my most favourite foundations ever.
3. Next is the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer in the shade 'Cool medium' which is a favourite of most people. I love it as it adds a great amount of coverage for such a low price.
4. To set my base I will use the Rimmel Stay Matte powder in the shade 'Translucent' which I have been using since I first discovered the joys of makeup.
5. I will then use the Bourjois chocolate bronzer lightly dusted over my skin to give it a more healthy look.
6. To give my cheeks a bit of colour, I always use a MUA blusher and I usually reach for the one in the shade 'Lolly'.
7. Of course we can't forget highlighter! I usually use the I Heart Makeup Unicorns Heart highlighter.
8. For an every day look, I always use my NYX nudes eyeshadow quad that I created myself, as a nude eye is the best.
9. For mascara, nothing can beat a trusty No7 mascara. At the moment, I am using their Intense Volume mascara in 'Black'.
10. For my brows, I will usually just use the Soap and Glory brow archery pencil in the shade 'Love is Blonde' as it is so easy to use.
11. No look is complete without a lipstick. To complete this everyday look, I usually use the Essence long-lasting lipstick in the shade 'Barely There' - the perfect nude lipstick!
What drugstore makeup do you usually use? Could you create a full face look out of all the drugstore makeup you own?
