Ahh thanks M! It’s good but I feel like I don’t have a lot of variety in many things. Like blushes. The nars and bourjois ones are practically dupes. I wear the same blush day in day out even though it’s a rubbish quality blush because it doesnt last me the whole day. The reason me wearing it is because it’s the only colour I feel looks nice. I LOVE my lipsticks but seen so many more nice colours! My foundations are fine. I like how they go on and the coverage is good. Mascaras I’ve found my one which is max factor. Lol actually looking at my collection spread out like that makes me think I have LOADS! Just need a few more bits like blushers! I am definitely a lipstick person though! Nothing pulls my face together like a lipstick!

Aww, no! Don’t worry. IMO, Sleek ones are excellent! If you need to buy any high-end blushes I would recommend more mid-range ones like NARS/Illamasqua and not MAC. Katie from Illamasqua is a great one to have or Rude Cream blush. I love NARS blushes and Amour is EXCELLENT to have on hand.

I also need some specific brushes but I’m saving up for sigma! Might as well splurge and buy some nice quality ones right?

Yes! Sigma is really great if you’re starting out, esp. that Face Kit they have which is really great. But then again, Real Techniques are also great. The only one MAC brush I would recommend you get is the 109. When I was saving up for my Japanese (Hakuhodo/Chikuhodo) brushes, I put away every brush except my MAC 109 which I used for 2 months for everything from powder, blush, bronzer, highlighting, and contouring. It’s an excellent brush to have and many people even use it for liquid foundation, but since I prefer my fingers for that I left my 109 just for powders. It is a superb brush to have.

Thanks M. I’m definitely gonna get some sigma brushes. And some blushes. My birthdays next month so looking to buy a few bits and pieces. I also wanna get MAC f&b because I’ve hears it’s sheer and not too cakey but provides the coverage!

Definitely noting down all your brush recommendations in my huge make-up to buy list!
