The 5 item face

If you could only pick 5 items from your makeup bag to go out in, which would you choose?

I've been deliberating mine for a while, but I've finally decided on:

5 item face makeup products

Me wearing the makeup

Urban Decay Naked 2 palette - always my go to shadow palette, I used 2 shades to help define my eyes as I didn't choose eyeliner as one of my 5 items.

REN BB cream* - Perfect for light coverage, this has evened out my skin nicely, without making me look too 'done'. This is a one shade product, but somehow miraculously blends perfectly with my pale skin despite looking a scary, slightly orange colour when it comes out of the tube!

Topshop Blusher in Prime Time - This is my favourite blusher ever. I love how scary it looks in the pot but yet when blended out it gives  a lovely natural flush (just don't get carried away or you'll look like a doll!).

GOSH Growth Serum Mascara* - I'm a total convert to this mascara. It's gotten better as it's dried out a little, and gives good volume and separation with two coats.

Collection illuminating concealer - I used this under my eyes and a little on my nose to help conceal dark shadows and redness. Despite how the packaging looks, i've only been using this for a couple of weeks and love it.

What would you pick if you could only choose 5 items to do your makeup with?

*This post contains PR samples - my views are honest as always.
