I was feeling inspired by Avon’s campaign 3 brochure which
landed on my desk last week to create a look using only Avon products for an ‘everyday
affordable’ look. Most of the products featured I already use every day but some I
purchased in our staff shop after looking through the brochure.
This is my face of the day using Avon products (lashes are house of lashes and brows courtesy of Anastasia's dip brow)
The first product is an all time favourite of mine and
anyone who knows me will know I can’t get enough of this stuff! It’s Avon’s
wonderful BB cream! When I am having a bad skin day this is the first thing I
reach for! It provides a great base, leaves my skin looking fresh and dewy and
considering it is not a foundation it is great at providing buildable coverage!
The beauty balm comes in a great range of colours; everything from Ivory (for
very fair tones) to Nutmeg (for very dark skin tones). I usually go between
medium beige in the summer and natural beige which is what I am wearing now (above).
The next is another product which since trying around 2
months ago has become a firm staple in my make up bag. The ‘MagiX Multi-
Benefit Illuminator’ is brilliant for hiding any dark circles, to highlight the
cupids bow for fuller looking lips and I usually apply down the bridge of my
nose too. It contains light- diffusing technology which is why I find it so
great for combating under the eye circles. It comes in a handy pen and is so
easy to use, just twist and click and the product is released into the brush. I
wear the ‘light’ shade but it is also available in beige and caramel. I have recommended this to all my friends in
the office who I am sure will love it as much as me!
To finish the base off I use my ‘Colour Trend Final touch pressed powder’ in areas prone to shine such as the chin and forehead. I was using this powder during the summer when my skin was more oil prone. I would recommend this for anyone who suffers from oily skin as when I apply this I feel like my skin will stay matte all day long and it is actually much better than many of the high end powders I’ve tried! As you can see from the pictures this is a much loved product of mine as I need to repurchase!
I am not a great fan of mascaras as I tend to stick to wearing false lashes however I do wear mascara on the bottom and I recently purchased the ‘Big and Daring’ mascara by Avon. This mascara is the best dupe for the Maybelline ‘Falsies’ mascara I have found and I absolutely love it! I paired this with Avons famous ‘Glimmerstick eyeliner’ in blackest black. Avon sells one of these eyeliners every 5 seconds and I know why! The liner is super black and lasts for up to 12 hours (I wouldn’t agree with 12 hours but it does last an impressive amount of time!).

To finish I used an Ultra Colour Matte Lipstick in ‘Matte
Nude’ which, although matte is super velvety and doesn’t dry your lips out like
mattes often do. For me, Avons lipsticks deserve much more credit than some of
the high end lipsticks I’ve tried in the past; they offer such a huge range of
shades in various finishes. ‘Matte Nude’ is the perfect nude for me however I
also love another shade called Demure from the Ultra Colour range. I will be
doing a post soon featuring my favourite Avon lipsticks so stay tuned!
