Five Beauty Products I’m Currently Reaching For | BRITISH BEAUTY ADDICT
As the seasons change, so do our beauty routines. With autumn in full swing and the influx of beauty launches, I’ve found myself revisiting beloved products and discovering new ones that seamlessly fit into my daily regimen. Having tried countless items over the year, only a select few have stood the test of time, making their way to the front of my makeup drawer. Here are five beauty products that I’ve been consistently reaching for lately, each standing out for its unique qualities and performance.
Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer – £19
First up is a classic that never fails to impress: the Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer. Although it’s not a newcomer, its effectiveness has reignited my interest. After a spell with the Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer, I noticed that its heavy formula started to emphasize my dehydrated under-eyes as the weather turned. In contrast, the Naked Skin Concealer offers medium-to-full coverage while remaining incredibly lightweight. Its natural finish helps to create a flawless look without feeling cakey, perfect for these autumn months when hydration is key.
Huda Beauty Warm Brown Obsessions Palette – £25
Next on my list is the phenomenal Huda Beauty Warm Brown Obsessions Palette. This palette has quickly become a staple in my makeup collection. Huda Kattan has crafted this assortment of warm shades flawlessly, making it an ideal match for my aesthetic. Each eyeshadow is richly pigmented, remarkably smooth, and blendable, allowing me to create various looks with ease. Whether it’s a soft daytime appearance or a sultry night-time vibe, this versatile palette delivers every time. Plus, its compact size makes it travel-friendly, promising that I may soon be investing in additional palettes from her extensive line.
PIXI Glow Mist – £16
As autumn sets in, so does the need for extra hydration, and that’s where the PIXI Glow Mist comes into play. This bi-phase lightweight spray has been an absolute game-changer for my skin, particularly as it tends to dry out in cooler months. With just a couple of spritzes, my skin feels instantaneously rejuvenated, leaving it smoother and with a beautiful, dewy finish. Many may question the necessity of a face mist; however, for me, it has become an essential quick fix that enhances my makeup and boosts hydration throughout the day.
Glossier Boy Brow – £14
When it comes to brows, Glossier’s Boy Brow has undoubtedly challenged the longstanding reign of Benefit’s Gimme Brow. With Glossier now available in the UK, this little gem has carved a niche in my daily makeup arsenal. The Boy Brow formula is wetter and creamier compared to its counterparts, acting more like a brow pomade that tints, tames, and thickens without the unwanted stiffness or flakiness that often accompanies other products. It has quickly become my go-to for those ‘could-be-arsed’ makeup days and pairs beautifully with my holy-grail Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade for more polished looks.
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation – £9.99
Last but not least, the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation deserves a spotlight for its reliability. For those dealing with dull or dry skin, this foundation is a high-street hero. I often turn to it during the colder months, and it has made a welcomed return to my routine recently. Unlike many foundations that can settle into fine lines and appear cakey, Healthy Mix boasts a radiance-enhancing formula enriched with vitamins C, E, and B5. It nourishes the skin while providing an even, luminous finish, making it a perfect match for the autumn season.
Conclusion
These five beauty products have not only captured my attention but have also become integral to my everyday makeup routine. Each one brings something unique to the table, whether it’s hydration, coverage, or versatility. As the beauty landscape constantly evolves, it’s refreshing to find products that truly deliver on their promises and suit my needs perfectly.
