Ok, so! I have always been into makeup but the past year even more so than ever but sometimes I feel so overwhelmed by the choices and information available!

I do the basics like - cleansing-toner-moisturising-primer-concealer-foundation-highlitghter-blusher. But that is really my routine at present, so what I would like to know is what routines do you guys use and which products from cleansing all the way up to finishing powders and mists (by the way which I know nothing of).

I'm very interested in how you build and layer for a flawless look and which contouring kits are the best. I have made a little list to make it easier for you all to reply. If you could, I'd be totally awesomely happy and love you foreveeer!
