Chanel foundations are the best for a natural light-weight finish.
My favorites are the Vita Lumiere and the Perfection Lumiere.
Where to buy in Thailand: Department store, or at the airport for better price (around 1,600 THB)
2/ Concealer: Fit Me from Maybelline
I discovered this concealer this year, and it is my new favorite over any high-end concealer I have. It has great coverage for under-eye circles.
Where to buy: not sold in Thailand or in Europe. You can find it in US or in Dubai (around 300-400 THB, or 10 USD)
I also love the Lasting Perfection from Collection 2000 and the Pro Conceal from LA Girl. And these are all drugstore!!
Where to buy in Thailand: Eve and Boy, Watsons (around 350 THB)
Where to buy in Thailand: Siam Paragon department store (gifts floor), 550 THB
3/ Powders: Laura Mercier transluscent lose setting powder & Mac studio Fix (compact)
I like to use the Laura Mercier one to set my makeup, for a dolly perfect finish. It is super thin and light weight.
Where to buy in Thailand: Department stores, around 1,300 THB, or small makeup resell stores for 30% off
Mac studio Fix is a powder foundation, so I sometimes wear it by itself. Also great to carry in your handbag for touch up.
Where to buy in Thailand: Department stores, around 1,200-1,300 THB, or at the airport for better price (10-20% off)
4/ Bronzer: NYC bronzing face powder in Sunny
Matte, easy to blend, natural tone. This bronzer made me forget my Laguna bronzer from Nars... And it is a drugstore product, again! (less than 10 USD).
Where to buy in Thailand: small makeup resell stores (ex: Beauty Terminal, 3F of Terminal 21), around 300 THB
5/ Blush: Illamasqua powder blushers
I discovered Illamasqua blushes this year too, and I have to say I am impressed. It reminds me of Nars blushes, but with a beautiful scent in addition. These blushes are so buttery and long lasting, I wish I have the whole range of shades.
Where to buy in Thailand: Department stores, around 1,100 THB, or small makeup resell stores for 30% off
6/ Eyeliner: Dolly Wink liquid eyeliner
Well, I have been using ONLY this eyeliner for 2 years now... Super black, easy to apply, long lasting. That's just the best eyeliner ever. What else to say?
Where to buy in Thailand: Jae Leng (near Don Muang Airport), around 600 THB
7/ Mascara: I Love Extreme crazy volume from Essence (pink tube)
I just started using this mascara last month... And it already beats all my High-end mascaras I tried in the past. This mascara gives a fake lashes effect that is quite impressive... crazy volume was the right name for it. It is Crazyyy! Essence mascaras are very good in general, too bad that beauty bloggers do not talk about it more often.
Where to buy in Thailand: All drugstores: Eve and Boy, Watsons, Boots (around 200 THB)
This year, I also loved The Rocket Volum' Express from Maybelline: it gives volume and length at the same time. I will re-purchase that one over and over.
Where to buy in Thailand: All drugstores: Eve and Boy, Watsons, Boots (around 350 THB)
Perfect combination of a pencil and an eyebrow mascara. The colors are perfect, and the price is very sweet:) Again, hands down to drugstore products.
Where to buy in Thailand: All drugstores: Eve and Boy, Watsons, Boots (around 150-200 THB each)
9/ Lipsticks: Lime Crime lipsticks
A Huge discovery for me this year, especially the red shade, Retrofuturist. The perfect red for any occasion, that does not go in the fine line and does not fade. You will not even need a lip liner with that one.
The color selection of this range is crazy, and it is so so so long lasting!
Where to buy in Thailand: small make up resellers, around 700-800 THB
Other lipsticks are fell in love with recently are the Wet N Wild matte lipsticks. If you love plum tones, the shade "Sugar Plum fairy" is a must-have (and is a dupe for Mac Rebel). It is a bit drying (actually like Mac Rebel) but it will stay all day long. For that price (3 USD), it is simply amazing.
10/ Lip stains: Nyx soft matte lip cream
I wear them everytime I go out! The dark shades are a must have. It is so creamy and stays all night, even if you eat and drink. My favorite lip products of all times!!
Where to buy in Thailand: NYX stores in Central World department store, or in Terminal 21, or small makeup resellers. 295 THB
11/ Makeup brushes: Real Techniques
I could not make an article on the best products of 2014 without mentioning the Real Technique brushes from the Youtuber Samantha Chapman. You can chose any brush from any range, they are all good! Such an amazing quality for the price.
Special mention to the Miracle Complexion sponge, a great alternative for the (expensive) Beauty Blender.
Where to buy in Thailand: Eve and Boy, different sets and individual brushes, from 200-1,000 THB. Can also be found in small makeup resellers & online (Konvy.com for example)
12/ Nail polishes: L'Oreal Color Riche Le Vernis
I am still obsessed with these nail polishes. So many shades, long lasting, and small size (I never finish my OPI or China Glaze polishes). The red shades are all amazing.
Where to buy in Thailand: all drugstores: Eve and Boy, Watsons, Boots. 159-199 THB
13/ Face serum: Soap & Glory rejunevating facial serum
I use it every morning before my day cream, and I have almost no break out since I started using it. Its my holy grail skin care product.
Where to buy in Thailand: Boots, around 700 THB (but discounted very often with Boots offers)
14/ Multi-purpose oil: Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse
For fac, body, hair, nails... This oil is fantastic. It makes your skin glow, and it smells like holidays on the beach. An all time favorite that every woman should own at least once in her life;)
Where to buy: In France parapharmacies for the best price (around 800 THB). It is quite difficult to find in Asia, and very expensive,
Happy New Year 2015!
