The Power of Makeup & New Favourite Drugstore Products

Hi guys, so today I have done half of my face with makeup, to show the 'power' of makeup.
I wouldn't ever do this much makeup on a daily basis, this would be the type of makeup I would do for a special occasion or to go out, but definitely not for every day.



To be honest, mine isn't as dramatically different as some people's, which I think is a good thing. I don't change the appearance of my face entirely, I just try and make a few things look better.
I don't wear makeup to impress anyone, nor do I wear it because I hate the way I look. Admittedly I do feel more comfortable with makeup on, but I mainly wear makeup because I love applying it, using new things, and seeing how much of a difference it can make. It is fun, and I enjoy using makeup, and I do it for me and not to impress anyone else, or because anyone else makes me feel that I have to.


These are the products I used on my face:




I know there is a lot, but like I said, I never wear this much on a daily basis. This was just to show how different it can make my face look.
The vast majority of what I used is drugstore/affordable makeup, which is amazing because I hope this shows that you don't need to spend a lot of money on makeup to have a high quality product that looks good.
For example, the w7 bronze stick, I used for contour (not knowing it wasn't the contour stick, oops) but it was amazing! And the NYX contour kit, is my favourite contour kit at the moment, and I do have a fair few, including a couple from Smashbox, yet I would always pick the NYX one over the more expensive Smashbox one. 
Also, the PS Pro Loose Powder is my new favourite! I no longer need to buy the expensive MAC loose powder because the Primark one is EXACTLY the same, and it is only £5.
And, the Goddess of Love highlighter from Makeup Revolution's I Heart Makeup range, is so good for the small price tag, and I actually find myself reaching for it more often than any other highlighter I have recently.

Now, I am about to take all this makeup off, and have a nice makeup free day, but first, I think I want to see my boyfriend's reaction to me walking around the house with half a face of makeup on! I wonder if he will even pay that much attention to notice, haha!

Thanks for reading lovelies,
Love Abbie
