Sephora is finally coming to Scotland!
Sephora is finally coming to Scotland and I have had a lot of messages about what is worth purchasing. So, I put together a simple edit of products I rate both personally and as a makeup artist. No hype, just things that work!
If I had to pick one palette that covers everything, it would be the Makeup by Mario Master Mattes. It is one of those palettes that just makes sense. Clean tones, blends easily and works across different skin tones. Basically, every neutral you need to do a matte smoky eye. Shop it here https://prf.hn/l/p3oELA5/
For foundation, the Haus Labs Triclone has been a really solid find. It gives good coverage but still looks like skin, which is what you want especially for a big event where it needs to last for hours, and for MUA’s with client work. Shop it here https://prf.hn/l/gg0JOV1/
Bronzer is one I am quite particular about and the REFY Cream Bronzer is one I keep going back to It blends properly into the skin and does not look patchy. Perfect worn alone or with foundation. I use shades Sand and Tan. Shop it here https://prf.hn/l/MdP5Yy9/
For concealer, the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Blur Concealer has genuinely been a bit of a game changer for me. It has more of a fuller coverage finish so it is great for dark circles and brightening, but it does not go creasy which is usually the issue with higher coverage concealers. I often don’t even set it with powder under the eyes, which helps keep everything looking more radiant and youthful. Shop it here https://prf.hn/l/xEMV82G/
To set everything else on the skin, the Makeup by Mario Soft Blur Setting Powder is a really good option. It blurs and smooths the skin without looking heavy or dry, and still keeps a natural finish which is what you want from a setting powder. I would recommend shade 1 & 2. I would opt for shade 1, as it has a pink undertone which is perfect for brightening the skin. Shop it here https://prf.hn/l/YRebz52/
For eyeliner, the Too Faced Killer Liner Waterproof Eyeliner is one I have been using more recently. I am finding a lot of clients are loving a nude waterline to really make the whites of the eye pop, and this works really well for that. It is also waterproof which makes it ideal for holidays or weddings where you need it to hold, even with heat or a few tears. Shop it here https://prf.hn/l/8jRPbZQ/
DIOR Addict Lip Glow Oil
And for lips, the Dior Lip Glow Oil is one I always keep on me. A total staple item! My clients and my brides love it. It gives a nice gloss finish without feeling sticky and works on its own or over lip liner. Shop it here https://prf.hn/l/4PklpwW/
If you are browsing Sephora for the first time, I would start with these before getting pulled into everything else. - It can be overwhelming where to even begin!
Everything here is based on what I actually use and rate as a makeup artist, professionally and personally. A lot of these products I have used for years , across many skin types, so the proof really is in the pudding! If you choose to shop through the links, I may earn a small commission which I really appreciate. Love to you all, Stacey x
