Hey guys!
As you all probably know, I am such a makeup junkie! Today, I’m going to share with you my “holy grails” when it comes to makeup. I love trying new products so I’m sure I’ll be adding some in within the next couple months. But for now, here’s my favorite products in my makeup bag!
Holy Grails:
I usually don’t wear primer unless it’s for a special occasion, but my favorite it the Porefessional from Benefit. It makes your skin look flawless, and smells even better!
I recently picked up the Wet and Wild Mega Cushion Foundation and it was instantly my favorite. I use this as an everyday foundation because since it is a cushion it is more lightweight but still covers flawlessly when applied with a beauty blender.
For concealer I use the Tarte Shape Tape. It was voted best selling concealer and I have to vouch for that..it is the best. It is more full coverage, but when you don’t set with a setting powder it can look cake-y depending on the foundation you used. I recommend always setting your concealer which will make it look more natural as well as making it last longer through out the day.
My all time favorite setting powder is the Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder in Translucent. (Found at Walgreens or Walmart) After you apply your foundation and concealer use this powder to set your makeup. Another great tip is to apply it with an eyeshadow brush under your eyes when applying mascara then wipe away with same brush after. This prevents your mascara from smudging throughout the day.
For bronzer I use the Butter Bronzer by Physicians Formula. I have tried many different bronzers, and this is by far the most natural looking on the skin!
I am completely obsessed with the Jaclyn Hill Morphe palette. Everyone asks me what eye shadows I use and it is ALWAYS this palette. You can create so many looks with it! (Tip: When doing your eyes place a light/shimmer color on the center of your eye to make them appear bigger and to stand out more) When Im running out of the house I tend to grab the Naked Basics 2 palette for something quick and easy. P.S most of these colors look the same in this picture but I promise they are all INCREDIBLE. Find tutorials with this palette on Youtube before you purchase to truly see all the looks you can create.
The last thing I will show a picture for is the setting spray I use. It is the Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist! I have dry skin so I will take all the dewy-ness I can get! It always makes my skin look so good, and the smell of it is just as good!!
For Mascara I use the Better Than Sex mascara by Too Faced. It is so so good!!
For brows I use the NYX precision brow pencil.
For waterline eyeliner I use the NYX slide on pencil in black.
I almost for got the most important part! Highlight!!! My all time favorite highlighter is Champagne Pop from Becca. Mine shattered in my suitcase when I went to Jamaica and I’m still upset about it. It’s the perfect gold/shimmer highlight for every skin tone!
Im sorry for the lengthy post! I post you enjoyed it!! If you try any of these products mentions let me know! I would love to see what does and doesn’t work for others!
