hi lovelies!
here is a list of products that i use all of the time and absolutely love and guess what? their all from the drug store! instead of you guys testing out products you're unsure of and wasting money - here is a list of products that i love, and hopefully you'll love to! also, there are some products that are only limited to certain stores/locations for the products limited to target i put a [t] next to, and those that are limited to ulta i put a [u] next to!
enjoy!
foundation//
i use liquid foundation - with my dry skin, powders do nothing but enhance that and it just drives me crazy. i also love a dewy finish, i hate it when my face looks caked on or powdery. depending on what foundation i'm using, i will sometimes set it with a powder, but that's as far as the powder + me relationship goes! i do know that there are some of you out there who refuse to wear liquid makeup and thats okay - i just have to be honest and admit that i've yet to find a powder from the drugstore worth mentioning. however, if you're looking for an amazing powder i recommend splurging a little and going with bare minerals its powder is moisturizing and will give you that flawless look! my current favorite foundations are:
$10.97 - Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation//
medium to full coverage
long lasting - looks better throughout the day/longer you wear it
blend-able
matte/dewy finish
i apply by dotting product on face with finger than blending with flat top kabuki brush
$8.97 - L'oreal True Match Foundation//
medium to full coverage
large selection of colors
blend-able
dewy finish
BB creams-tinted moisturizer//
BB creams have got to be one of the greatest products in the world! BB creams are amazing for those of you who prefer not to wear makeup, but want to even out your complexion, or you just want a little glow to your skin without going through the process of putting actual makeup on. they prime, correct, hydrate, and perfect your skins appearance. all in one product.. amazing right? a tinted moisturizer is well, just that. a tinted moisturizer - they have SPF to keep your face away from the harm of the sun and give you that same glow all while evening out your skin tone.
-trick: take a little bit of your favorite foundation on the back of your hand and dot some SPF face lotion swirl those together to make your own concoction of tinted moisturizer. that way you're not using as much foundation which makes it last longer and you don't have to spend on a tinted moisturizer.
$11.97 - Garnier BB Cream//
$13.69 - Sonia Kashuk Tinted Moisturizer [t] //
concealer//
you know those bags under your eyes from not getting sleep the night before? finding the right concealer can not only hide those but can bring your entire look together. just dab some concealor under your eyes and blend with ring finger, or a small brush.
-trick: you can also use concealer to hide blemishes, just dab a tiny bit over the top of blemish and lightly push down with ring finger to blend, dab some powder to seal the deal - and voila!
$10.49 - Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette [t] //
$7.99 - L'oreal True Match Concealer Crayon//
$4.99 - NYX HD Concealer [u] //
cheeks//
i love baby doll pink blush, like the brighter, the better - is that weird? okay, maybe a little bit, but if you use just the right amount it will give you the most beautiful pop of color. as for bronzing, or contouring you just have to find the right color for your skin tone - but i've found some products are pretty neutral for all skin tones.
-trick: use lipstick instead of purchasing new cream blush, take it on your finger and dab it on your cheeks if blended correctly it will give you the most beautiful flush of color.
-trick: if you've applied bronzer/blush too heavily, take a lose powder and blend over the top of your cheeks to blend away the harsh lines and color giving you a more natural look.
blush//
$6.00 - NYX Rouge Cream Blushes [u] //
colors that i love: Glow & Natural
$3.00 - ELF powder blushes [t] //
colors that i love: Candid Coral & Pink Passion
bronze//
$2.79 - NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder//
color: Sunny
$3.00 - ELF Contouring Blush & Bronzer [t] //
mascara & eyeliner//
i like my mascara to have the rubber wands and not the fat, thick bristles - am i the only one? i've found that whenever i use a mascara that has the thick bristles - my eyelashes always clump together, i hate that. so i've stuck with the same mascara for years, it is, and will always be my favorite. i'm not too picky with eyeliner - it just has to last, is that too much to ask for? sheeeesh. i've had questions about the difference between the different eyeliners, and well to me - its all about the look you're going after. if you want a winged eyeliner - go with a liquid eyeliner, they always seem to last the longest, if you're going for just a general eye on your lid you can use any kind of eyeliner. as far as gel liners go, you can use them as a base on your lid, as well as a liner. pencil liners you can use for generally anything - but i tend to use them most for my waterline.
-trick: if you're out of eyeliner, or don't have the money to spend on it - take your mascara wand and twist some product off on the back of your hand - take an eyeliner brush and use it as eyeliner.
$7.78 - L'oreal Telescopic Mascara//
$5.97 - Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Eyeliner//
$8.47 - L'oreal Gel lacquer Liner//
$8.47 - L'oreal HIP Pencil Eyeliner//
eyeshadow//
eyeshadows are the one product that i'll never, ever get sick of buying. i honestly feel like you can never have too many eyeshadows. i love the fun colors, i love a good smokey eye, but i also love just a neutral eye. i feel like when it comes to makeup the most creative you can get with a look comes from how you use your eyeshadows - you can get festive, and creative all you want and then you can do it all over the next day - isn't that fun?
-trick: if an eyeshadow comes off more chalk-like than you wish, lightly take your brush under some water before dipping into eyeshadow to get the color to appear more vibrant.
$4.97 - Maybelline Color Tattoos
$6.97 - L'oreal Infallible Eyeshadows
lips//
i love a bold lip, it can pull everything together in your look and give you that edge you've been looking for... but i also love a neutral lip, as well as just wearing gloss for the day. just like eyeshadows, you can be so creative - and you can do something totally new every single day.
-trick: use concealor on a small brush, to clean up around the edges of a bold lip.
$5.99 - Milani Color Statement Lipstick [t] //
colors that i love: hot pink rage, best red, fruit punch,
$6.48 - Revlon Lip Butter Lipstick//
colors that i love: cupcake, and creme brulee
$4.97 - Revlon Matte Lipstick//
colors that i love: pink pout - dupe for MAC's 'snob'
$4.99 - NYX Butter Gloss [u] //
colors that i love: creme brulee, peaches and cream, strawberry parfait, merengue
thats all folks! i hope you enjoyed - keep sending requests you guys, i'm loving this.
love y'all!
