First, I start with a primer. Right now I am using the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer. It is amazing! It makes a fantastic base for my makeup and smooths out everything. It also helps my makeup stay all day even through lots of filming or a gig.
Next I go in with concealer and cover any blemishes on my face that day. I recently started using a higher end concealer for the first time and it is worth every cent. It truly covers everything and you don't feel or see it. I use the Laura Geller Real Deal Serious Coverage Concealer in Medium. When it says serious coverage, it isn't kidding. It is fantastic and last all day without creasing.
The next thing that I do is put on my foundation. I switch between a few but most recently I have been using one more than any others. I use the Maybelline New York Dream Fresh BB Cream in Medium. It gives good coverage while still being light enough for the hot, summer weather.
In the last few months I have fallen in love with bronzer. I'm going to let you in on a secret, I don't go outside a whole lot. That means that I almost never have a tan and bronzer is a great way to give myself a healthy glow. Recently I have been loving the Model Co bronzer in Shimmer.
Next up, blush! I have been loving the Hikari blush in Tango for the last few months. Sometimes I have been skipping blush or using my Model Co blush, but most days I reach for this! It is a bright pink color and a little goes a long way.
I never used to fill in my eye brows. I have very thick eye brows naturally and I just never saw the need. I recently found a product that I have fallen completely in love with! The Bodyography Brow Trio lets me fill in my brows perfectly. I use that and the Bodyography Pro Dual ended Brow Brush and my brows come out perfectly!
I never leave the house without eyeliner. I may have no other makeup on, but I always have black eyeliner in my waterline and tight line. I have recently been loving the Mica Beauty Gel Eyeliner with a very thin eyeliner brush.
I use different Mascara all the time but the one I am using right now is something fairly new to me which is the MDM Greater Than Mascara. It is good. Not an all time favorite, but certainly good enough!
I have been using the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette for years now. Before that I used the Naked 2. I now want to try the Naked Smoky. I love Urban Decay eye products.
I love dark lip colors. The Ulta Matte Lip Cream in Stirring is what I have been wearing almost every day. It isn't expensive especially if you check for sales which always seem to be happening at Ulta.
In a normal day I may wear any combination of these products or all of them if something important is going on that day, or if I just feel like spending a while doing my makeup.
What are some products that you can't live without? Let me know, I am always looking to try something new!
