If you know me, you know I usually don’t wear much makeup. But, I am very girly and love getting all glammed up. So I do wear makeup on occasions and wanted to share my favorite makeup products!
Cover up any blemishes
I have very sensitive skin and therefore have to be very careful with the products I wear.
I’ve been very lucky and have always had clear skin. But I still need a good concealer to cover the evidence of a long night (aka dreaded dark circles).
My favorite concealer is shape tape by tarte in ‘fair neutral.’
Karli, the most amazing makeup artist at Mario Tricoci Naperville taught me the dot dot dot trick for concealers. Simply apply 3 dots of concealer under your eyes and blend with a brush!
It’s all in the brows
The one thing I cannot live without is my Chella Eyebrow Pencil in ‘Tantalizing Taupe’ and the Clear Eyebrow Defining Gel. There is nothing better than good eyebrows (as I learned thanks to Lauren Bushnell) so this is KEY.
Make the eyes POP
I love Urban Decay’s Naked3 palette. It has all the pink hues I love and it gives you a natural look. Since I don’t usually wear much makeup, I prefer wearing something a little more subtle.
A good mascara is always a must, in my opinion. I love Christian Dior’s DIORSHOW mascara. It gives my lashes length and volume without clumping them.
Bronze and Blush
I usually wear bronzer at night when I want to define my facial features. But it’s amazing when you want to look slightly tan and get that summer glow. I love benefit cosmetic’s HOOLA bronzer because it’s subtle but really makes a difference.
As for blush, I love NARS blush in ‘Orgasm’ because it has the perfect pink tone for my cheeks.
Finish it off
As the last step, I apply MAC Cosmetics Blot Powder to avoid any shiny spots.
I’d love to hear about any makeup products you swear by! Let me know in the comments below.
