I'm not including tools here because lets be honest it wouldn't be much fun! But if people would like to see what brushes etc I use please let me know and I'll put together a post for that.
So lets dive in!
:)
I'll start with my base, which everyone will probably know by now is my NARS Sheer Glow in Mont Blanc. I won't bang on about it too much but its a great foundation, great colour match and covers my redness really well. It is more of a dewy finish so needs to be set with powder if you get oily, but is great coverage.
My next pick is a bronzer, I have the Rimmel Sun Shimmer in Light Matte, which I use to contour my face and to just gently dust all over. I picked this because you could contour your face and set your foundation with this if you really wanted to, so it's a kind of duel product. I'm pretty sure if you really wanted to you could also use this for your brows or as eye shadow also.
My third pick is a blusher, which, on second thought I probably could have lived with out and put in a lipstick but, so be it. This is a MAC powder blush in Pinch o' peach, I've had this since forever and use it pretty much everyday and haven't made a dent in it. It can be used very lightly or be really built up but it's a lovely colour.
My fourth choice has to be my brows, my eyebrows are naturally really blonde so without my eye brows I look a little odd. I think if I were to pick just one thing on my face to do, it would be my brows. I would usually use my Soap and Glory Archery pencil with the spooly and then set it with a clear gel, but the pencil is just fine on its own. I have the medium brown colour which is fine, I might actually pick up the darker colour next time as I'm liking a darker brow at the minute.
Then my final product is a mascara, again I have very naturally light eyelashes, so mascara really helps open up and define my eyes. Once again I've picked Maybelline's Lash Sensational, this mascara has been compared a lot with the Benefit Roller Lash because of the wand, which you can see in the photo below. I really like this mascara, it lengthens and defines my lashes without clumping. I've actually repurchased this but I'm not sure if I should try something new next but that's another story.
So that's it, its a pretty good standard face but covers all bases pretty well. I think the only thing I would trade out here would be the blusher for a lipstick, but I don't use lipstick everyday, so it's not really too much of a problem for me.
Let me know what your 5 product face consists of, I'd love to know!

I absolutely love NARS Sheer Glow and the Archery pencil! You've made some great picks. I'd have to add Natural Collection's Pressed Powder to the list because of my oily skin and my NARS blush in Orgasm (saucy name, amazing colour).
