New Makeup Faves

So, anyone who knows me knows of my obsession with makeup and recently I came across some amazing products that I wanted to share with you guys! Some you may have heard of already because they’re cult favorites but there are also many whom I have just discovered and wanted to share with you guys because they have become staples and I am obsessed!

The Urban Decay Optical Illusion Complexion Primer is amazing for anyone who has combination skin that is somewhat sensitive. It blurs over your fine lines and leaves your skin looking poreless. Also, it helps your makeup last all day which is necessary considering it’s a primer and that’s what it supposed to do. Lastly, you get all this for under $35!!! No brainer, right??
A staple that is always in my makeup routine is the Makeup Forever Foundation. I alternate between this and the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. Lately, I have been reaching for this one more readily because it’s so easy to blend and I don’t need too much to blend it out. Just one light pump on my beauty blender and that’s enough for my whole face. Also, they have a wide range of shades.
Now onto the eyes, which is one of my favorites! I always get asked what I use for my eyeliner and I have a two-step product process! Although two products might seem excessive, when combined, my eyeliner stays intact all day! I start off using a gel liner. The Maybelline gel eyeliner is one of my favorites and is a staple in my makeup bag. I start with a gel eyeliner because eyeliner is always a mission and with it being a gel, I can easily clean up any mistakes without having to worry too much. Then when I get the desired shape, I go over it with the Maybelline Line stiletto eyeliner. This just keeps it super dark and makes my eyes pop!
For Lips, I was a little late to jump on the bandwagon, but I came across the Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lipliner in Pillow Talk. The whole range is amazing and I will review more items from her collection in depth in a later post, but if you want to try one thing, try the Pillow Talk lipliner! It’s your lips but better and flatters all different skin tones! On days when I want a more natural look, I just put on the lipliner and fill in my lips and then just put on a chapstick and if I want more drama then fill it in and add the Clarins Lip Perfector in the nude shade! That gives it an instant glossy look and makes your lips look luscious!
Finally the piece de resistance, the brows!! Anastasia, the brow guru herself has got your back, gurl with some amazing products. Anastasia Beverly Hills is a brand that I trust for my brows and I use their products on the daily. I use the Brow Definer and the Brow Wiz and I love how easy and fool proof it is. Your brows frame your face and always elevate your look regardless of how natural or bold you go!

These were just some of the makeup items I use in my everyday makeup look I love how versatile every makeup item is and the many different ways you can use these items to change up your look or even for a first time makeup user that just wants to get their kit started. This is a wonderful way to just have some key items and build your collection. Let me know what are some of your makeup must haves in the comments below!

Lots of Love,
