    Thanks everyone:) I fancy a change so changed mine around this morning - I'm going for a healthy girl look, heres what I have today

    Loreal BB cream as before
    Nars deep throat blush
    EL Doublewear powder as before
    Stila colour push up used as lipstick in 08
    Cosmetics a la carte blush in Angel
    Same eye make up as before
    Same other bits as before

    I might try my Maybelline pink mouse blush tomorrow, I'm aiming for the same look as Danica on Big Brother, a less is more kind of thing, its interesting to see the length of our lists but to do the make up takes minutes it just reinforces what a money machine the beauty industry is.

    I have eczema too but I can use foundation as long as its fragrance free, can't you use any foundation on your face or tinted moisturiser?

    My make up consists of either Clinique or No7 tinted moisturiser
    No7 foundation
    Clinique eyeliner
    No7 blusher and mascara
    Clinique or No7 lipstick
