DONNA MAY LONDON

Makeup Brands that are GOOD FOR YOUR SKIN!

Our Look Good Feel Better makeup masterclass month is now over. What a brilliant time I/we had helping women apply the correct makeup, in the correct place with the correct technique!  Such simple changes can make a HUGE difference. The feedback was wonderful, not only having the small intimate class sizes but the fun banter we had during the classes was hilarious. No mistakes were shrugged off, they were pointed out ( by moi!!!) then we’d all have a giggle and then we’d correct them…it’s the only way to learn eh? 

During the sessions, I was asked about Skin friendly makeup brands that I’d recommend. I didn’t want to overwhelm you with the hundreds that are now out there, so I thought I’d list the brands I used through the LGFB classes and introduce you to some of my fave products. 

A New brand (to me) is  Lily Lolo a British brand founded in 2005 by Vikki Khan, it’s a very uncomplicated brand, easy to search & choose the correct product – which we know is a Godsend compared to those websites with 1001 products to choose from.

My recommendations are the following:

The Lemon drop pressed corrector
Brilliant for covering up those dark shades under your eyes, its covers blue/grey/purple and really lightens the under eyes without sitting in the creases because its so fine.https://www.lilylolo.co.uk/pressed-corrector/
Lily Lolo Pressed Corrector

Eye primer
A duo product, one half is used to even out discolouration and the other to give the eyelid a clean look ready for eyeshadow application
https://www.lilylolo.co.uk/eye-primer/


Makeup Mist
A Really refreshing mist that not only sets your makeup, but is really nice to use when you are feeling slightly overheated!!
https://www.lilylolo.co.uk/makeup-mist/

Maggie Anne Nailvarnish

Next up is a product that many of us don’t think about buying ‘natural’. Maggie Anne is a toxin free Gel effect nail polish company. Great for anyone undergoing treatment for cancer as well as anyone else who would like to wear more natural products. 

The following products are gorgeous and lasted a good 5-7 days on me…I can’t normally keep any nail colour on for longer than 5 mins!

Nail Polishes
So many colours to choose from, I always seem to go for either red or dark burgundy! I love the shades Inga and Ruby.

Acetone Free Nail Polish Remover

 My love affair with Bareminerals just grows & grows, it’s like a fine wine ( organic off course) that gets better with age. I’ve watched this brand for the last 25 years and love each and everyone of their products.

              You all loved my @kikomilano makeup video I popped up this week and now I need your help.

What brand should I do a full face in next? Is there a brand you love but want to mix things up a bit? A more expensive brand you want to try but are nervous of the results... or maybe it's the same with a smaller cheaper brand!

Let me do the hard work for you and drop the brands you'd like me to try below!
