Get That Natural Glow with Natural Collection

When I first started getting into make-up, I would head to Boots and pick out some lipsticks, blushers and mascara and would be overjoyed playing with different colours and trying out different looks. Not much has changed since then; I still spend a lot of my time scanning the beauty stands in Boots looking for that perfect bronzer or the eyeliner of my dreams. A brand which has always stuck out to me is Natural Collection They are incredibly affordable and their products are good quality and great value for the money.

With the Summer ahead of us, I am hoping to achieve that natural and radiant glow with Natural Collection. With their products costing only £1.99 each, these are perfect for an every day work look, on holiday or even a night out.

Base - Use a tinted moisturiser in place of your foundation to give a more natural look, and a good setting powder like this one is perfect to apply to keep your make-up looking flawless whatever the weather. This tinted moisturiser gives a great finish without looking cakey and the pressed powder is one I have used many times before.
Bronze - Create a healthy summer glow by using this super affordable bronzer - you can even contour with this.
Blush - Apply a dash of blush to the apples of your cheeks, I can't recommend Natural Collection's blushers enough! I love a girly pink blusher, for me a blush completes my make-up, this one is perfect for the holiday season.

I absolutely adore the Natural Collection base products, have you ever tried them?

Favourite Base Products

Over the past few years I have swapped and switched the base products I use day to day. After a lot of searching, I have finally found a routine I am content with. I don't feel like I have to wear foundation every day, but when I do, I .like a medium coverage. I have a lot of red blemishes which I like to cover, but I also have freckles on my cheeks; they particularly like to show up in the warmer Months, which I don't mind showing off. I find Mac's Mineralize Foundation a perfect coverage for Summer, as it covers and evens out my complexion without looking too cake-y. For the rest of the year I opt for Rimmel's Match Perfection Foundation, which is a medium coverage liquid foundation that is a perfect colour match for my very pale skin. It blends really well, doesn't wear off quickly, and gives my face that healthy glow. The main brush I use to apply both of these foundations to the skin is the Real Techniques Buffing Brush. I like it how applies both cream and liquid foundation so evenly and gives a flawless finish.
I usually apply concealer both before and after applying foundation, and the two I reach for most are Maybelline's Fit Me Concealer and Mac's Mineralize Concealer. They both work well at covering red blemishes and indents to the skin. I have used both in attempt to hide my dark circles and they do an adequate job. I tend to apply these concealers straight from the wand, and blending into the skin lightly using my fingers. I can't quite pull off a dewy finish, so tend to pop on a little pressed powder, like this Collection Pressed Powder on top of my base to help it hold and give a more matte finish, using the Real Techniques Powder Brush. The brush is thick and large, making it easy to quickly press powder onto the foundation. The powder is very affordable and lasts a good few hours.

Dr Hauschka Powder Duo

Dr Hauschka Powder Duo in 02 Warm Breeze

Dr Hauschka is a brand I have heard lots about but never owned anything from them. I absolutely fell in love with this beautiful product when I was kindly gifted it at the Brum Blogger Meet. As you can it is a beautiful powder duo in the shade 02 Warm Breeze. 

It includes two cheek tones, a bronzy light brown and a light peachy toned pink. They are very Summer-esque tones which brighten up the face giving it a nice, healthy glow. The powder is glittery so I would probably use this duo on a night time rather than in the day, or in the Summer months. The powder duo are both very pigmented and work really well together as a bronzer and blush duo.

The product also includes a large mirror and a lovely little brush which is perfect for contour.

This duo lasts well for a good 6+ hours which is fantastic! I also think this product smells lovely, it may sound strange that I comment on a powder duo's scent but this really does smell so sweet.

I haven't got any faults with this product but the price is pretty steep for my budget.

This beautiful powder duo is available at Harvey Nichols  for £33.50*
