'Every single product I used on my face for the Mamamia Out Loud Live Tour.'

ICYMI... I went on tour. Well, I was part of a tour. The Mamamia Out Loud All Or Nothing Live Tour presented by NIVEA Cellular.

Touring four cities in Australia, I was given a challenge. And no, the challenge wasn't getting up on stage and speaking in front of thousands of people (although that was terrifying).

The most important and nerve-racking challenge I was faced with was... doing my makeup.

I did my own makeup for all four shows and I took the job very seriously. To be completely transparent, we did have incredibly professional and talented makeup artists backstage for touch-ups, including setting, applying lashes (fancy), and cleaning up the bits where I got a little too enthusiastic (CAN YOU BLAME ME?! I WAS ABOUT TO WALK ONTO A STAGE).

While you're here, check out my blush application hack. Post continues below.

But the main part was down to me and I've never received so many compliments on my makeup, which is saying a lot because I usually keep things simple. I knew I couldn't afford to experiment, so I packed my die-hard favourites.

The ride-or-die products I know work with my skin, my rosacea, and my nerves. My makeup across the four shows stayed pretty much the same, with just slight tweaks in shade and intensity. So, here's every single product I used.

NYX Professional Makeup Bare With Me Blurring Tint Foundation, $16.79.

If you've read anything I've written before, I apologise in advance because you already know how much I adore this foundation. It's smooth, lightweight, and covers absolutely everything without drying out my skin. It leaves a beautiful matte-but-not-flat finish and is worth every cent. The only downside? I have to mix two shades (Light Medium and Deep Golden) to get my perfect match.

Huda Beauty Easy Blur Primer, $52.

I've had a complicated relationship with primers. Most either flare up my rosacea or make my foundation pill. This one? It's a godsend. It applies like a hydrating serum, is silicone-free, and creates the smoothest base. I can't feel it on my skin. At all.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion, $35.

TMI, but I need to confess: I have sweaty eyelids. It's a situation. Most shadows melt off me within minutes. But this primer? It's like glue. It holds my eyeshadow in place for HOURS. Just note that it's super tacky, so you might need to use a bit more shadow than usual to get that pigment payoff.

Holme Beauty Show Topper in Gracie, $29.25.

I kept my lids simple with one product: this mono glitter eyeshadow in the shade Gracie. It's a light champagne glitter that sparkles beautifully under stage lights. A makeup artist once told me that with hooded eyes, I don't need to bother too much with complex eye looks— just whack on a glitter and go. She was right.

Revlon Illuminance Serum Concealer, $17.97.

The best concealer in my kit. I used this under my eyes but also dotted it around my face for a light, all-over look. It covers rosacea, forehead lines and dark circles while still looking like skin. A winner.

Rare Beauty Liquid Contour in Serene, $50. + Liquid Blush in Worth, $45. + Liquid Luminizer in Reflect, $48.

Image: Supplied.

All my fun face-sculpting products came from Rare Beauty. I used the Liquid Contour in the shade Serene under my cheekbones, layered the Liquid Blush in the shade Worth for a bright pink pop, and topped it with the Luminizer in the shade Reflect to give my cheeks a glossy, lifted look. Yes, I looked borderline unhinged mid-application, but that's the joy of stage makeup.

e.l.f. Halo Glow Beauty Wand Highlight in Champagne Campaign, $24.

For a couple of the shows, I swapped the Rare luminizer for this gem. It gave me a slightly more pearlescent, radiant glow that caught the light in the best way. Brightened my whole face.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze Gel, $46.

My brows were not okay during the tour. Usually I get them done monthly, but tour life threw that schedule out the window. This brow gel managed to tame them and make them look intentional.

MP Tinted Brow Gel in Medium, $16.

Image: Supplied.

Because I took tweezers to my brows like a chaotic teen (don't tell my brow tech), I needed some help filling in sparse spots. Even though my natural brows are black, I opt for a medium shade to keep things soft and not cartoonish.

Gucci L'Obscur Mascara, $68.

Image: Supplied.

This is a flex, I know. But she's worth it. I didn't want to love this mascara, but I do. It lengthens, lifts and adds volume without clumping. One of the makeup artists backstage asked if I was already wearing falsies. Need I say more?

NARS High-Pigment Longwear Eyeliner in Via Veneto, $40.

Image: Supplied.

Super pigmented, super smooth. It doesn't budge and glides on like a dream. What more do you need?

Holme Beauty Lip Pencils in Maya + Sara, $37. And Huda Beauty Lip Contour 2.0 in Warm Brown, $37.

Image: Supplied.

I only used two lipsticks for the tour, but three different liners— because your liner changes the entire vibe. These three paired perfectly with both lipsticks and flattered my skin tone beautifully.

Lanolips SPF30 Lip Balm, $14.95.

Image: Supplied.

Like everyone else, I swear by Lanolips. I wore this under my (very matte) lipsticks to avoid crusty lips, and it stayed put through sound checks and stage lights.

Sephora Cream Lip Stains in Naughty Burgundy + Rose Redux, $26.

Image: Supplied.

The only lipsticks I trusted for the tour. They DO. NOT. MOVE. Not through talking, drinking or panicked lip-biting backstage. Whenever I wear the Naughty Burgundy shade,S I get a least five compliments.

Huda Beauty Easy Bake Setting Spray, $29.

To lock it all in, I finished with my new favourite setting spray. It's grippy without being tight, smells good, and works like a charm. I have the 30ml one and keep it in my handbag at all times. The makeup artists layered it with setting powder, and it truly did not budge.

There you go. Every single product that got me through the Mamamia Out Loud Live Tour presented by NIVEA Cellular. Until next time! (If I get invited back).
