Let’s talk about makeup essentials.
I generally do my day-time face the same every day. Sometimes a little heavier, sometimes a little less heavy… it all depends on my mood and how many sh!tZ I give that day.
Here is what I use and, for the time being, swear by:
Primer: Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer with SPF 15– Primer is an important step that many people disregard. My favorite primer thus far, water-resistant
Under-eye Concealer: NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer– I use Ginger (golden undertone for medium complexion), bye-bye raccoon eyes
Foundation: Make Up Forever Pro-Finish Multi-Use Powder Foundation– This stuff is god’s gift to earth. It is one of my newer finds that I will continue to buy. Buildable coverage with a matte, flawless finish.
Bronzer: Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer– in medium/deep. I hate shimmer bronzers so this is perfect for you matte lovers. This bronzer is made with real cocoa powder so don’t hesitate to stick your tongue out to catch the leftover dust.
Blush: NARS Blush in Sin– shades of berry with gold shimmer. I bought this color for summertime.. just gorg with a tan.
Brows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Beauty Express for Brows and Eyes– Thin brows? Don’t fret… this is the solution.
Mascara– Buxom Lash– I always, always, always buy waterproof. Just works better for me.
*Perfume*– Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb– signature scent thanks to my Seeester!
If I’m feelin’ it, I’ll use some other products for a night-time look:
Shadow: Urban Decay Naked2– I have all 3 of the Naked palettes but I think this one is my fav. Often I use Foxy, Bootycall, Tease, and Busted (in that order) for my eyes.
Liner: Stilla Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner– in jet black; my college girlfriends got me hooked on this and I don’t think I’ll ever go back.
Highlighter: Loreal Magic Lumi Primer/Highlighter
Foundation #2: Kat Von D Lock-it Powder Foundation– I got this with my Sephora points & really like it. Fits right in my going-out bag & is great for flawless coverage.
Blush #2: MAC Powder Blush in Peechykeen– a pinker/peachier shade than my other blush, has a sheertone shimmer.
Lips: NARS Velvet Lip Pencil in Buenos Aires– These gloss-sticks are so awesome. This beige-pink shade is perfect for a quick day-time application & leaves lips looking buttery-soft.
What are your favorite make-up products? I love suggestions!
