Each week, we’ll be taking a peek into some of our faves’ makeup bags to see their must-have products, because we’re nosey. This week, it’s the turn of singer Erica Cody.
Her earliest makeup memories
“My earliest make-up memories go back to when I actually started to take an interest in make-up when I was around 16. I never wore much make up, but when I had a sneak peak through my aunt’s make-up drawer one day I pretty much fell in love.
She had all the best products from primer to mascara and brushes to die for. Whenever I would stay over in her house I would always experiment with her different powders and eyeshadows because I never had worn foundation before then so powders and blush became my new best friends.
“As time went on and I got more familiar and confident with make-up, my aunt then used to ask me to give her a good smokey eye because it’s what I loved doing the most and I got quite good at it!
“When i was about 17, I started using foundation then and I fell in love with doing my make-up and it was something I looked forward to doing.
Now at 21, after wearing make-up properly for around four and a half years, my signature look has become slightly more minimal – due to eyelash extensions and being so busy I only ever have time for make-up if its for a shoot or a show!”
Her makeup bag
“So when I released my debut single ‘Addicted’ earlier this year, my nana got real cute one day shopping in town and bought me, myself and my mom matching ‘Addicted’ bags.”
What’s inside?
“I’ve been so useless lately at updating my make up bag! GUILTY. I more or less just keep my make up as simple as possible nowadays. Nowadays my essentials consist of:
- MAC Studio Fix foundation in NC42
- NYX HD Studio finishing powder
- MAC lip liner and lipstick in ‘Whirl’ mixed with ‘Velvet Teddy’
- Penneys highlighter stick
- No. 7 bronzer
- NYX Tame And Frame eyebrow pomade
- SoSueMe’s Highlighter palette
“This gives me life and keeps me glowing!”
