Only the everyday essentials!
I love a routine.
When I find something I like, I stick to it for a very, very long time. Because of this, I’m super loyal to products and brands and it’s hard to sway me to make a change!
I’ve been using all of these makeup products for years and there’s a reason for that. They’re all amazing and great for my sensitive skin!
Here’s everything that you’ll find in my makeup bag on a daily basis.
SKIN
Thanks to my British YouTuber obsession when I was 14-years-old, this is a product that I’ve been using forever. As soon as I saw Zoella (the leader of all the British YouTubers) recommend this primer, I instantly bought it and and never looked back! Even though I have both oily and dry skin, this primer helps my makeup stay on all day long.
With my matte primer on, I like to balance it out by using a lightweight/dewy foundation that still looks natural. This one is light with great coverage, but doesn’t cake on my face at all. Perfectly glowy in the best way!
Under eye bags are not my friend. After my foundation, I dab a little bit of this concealer directly under my eyes and it instantly brightens up my face! For all of the other problem areas, I use another product (see below).
Ok, this stuff is magic. I have it in the porcelain shade and it can cover up just about anything (literally) and it really blends into my skin! It’s a little on the expensive side, but one tube lasts me well over a year. Trust me when I say that it’s worth every penny!
CONTOUR/HIGHLIGHT
I’m a very pale person year-round and this bronzer is the perfect shade without it looking overly orange! I like to use bronzer more in the summer/spring months, but will still warm up my skin a little in the winter too! It also conveniently comes with a little brush and is super easy on-the-go.
This isn’t your typical highlighter. I absolutely love how it gives me a dewy glow and how it’s so versatile! It’s actually a universal balm and can be put on your lips too (and it’s only $12)!
LASHES
My favorite type of makeup has always been mascara. I like to layer the famous Essence Lash Princess with Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real Mascara for the ultimate length and volume. I curl my lashes, swipe on the Benefit mascara, let it dry a little and then throw on the other mascara on top!
LIPS
Everyone has a favorite chapstick and you can’t convince me otherwise. The Baby Lips original is my go-to and I love it in some of the pink shades as well!
It’s hard to find an every day lip color that works for your coloring and this one is perfect for me. I’ve always leaned towards the pink/coral shades and this one stays on for a long time so you don't have to keep reapplying! I even wore it on my wedding day because it's that good.
OTHER
I’m a firm believer that setting spray is an essential makeup product. If you’re going to spend time perfecting your face, make sure you find a great setting spray to hold it all in! If you ask anyone, this stuff is really the best.
I’ve never had super thick eyebrows and prefer to lightly pencil them in with a blonde Sephora brow pencil. It’s super affordable and does the trick without it feeling overdone!
What are some of your favorite makeup products?
Always,
