Hey y’all! I am really really REALLY excited about today’s link up prompt! I’m linking up with my friend Emily for her monthly Girl Chat linkup all about our favorite make up.
Fun fact about me–I am obsessed with make up! I think it’s so fun to play around with and try new products. Sephora is obviously my favorite store and I could spend hundreds of dollars (as in, you should see how many points I have ha).
The only favorite make up products that I didn’t include in the graphic are my sunscreen and lipsticks. I have tons of lipsticks, so it really just depends on what my outfit is that day! You’ll also notice that I use both high end products and drugstore products. (And I forgot to add pictures of my blush and highlighter, but I use these everyday.)
1. Almay mascara: I’m all for cheap mascara. I don’t think I could spend $20+ on mascara since I replace mine every month. Almay for the win!
2. CoverFx primer: This is perfect for my oily t-zone. I use just a little on my t-zone every morning and it keeps my face from being oily all day! I tried lots and lots of primers until I found this one that worked and didn’t break me out.
3. Naked palette: Neutrals all the way for my blue eyes!
4. Nars concealer in vanilla: I put this on after my foundation, and I put it under my eyes, down my nose, and a triangle in the middle of my forehead. Then I use a damp beauty blender to blend it in.
5. Tarte bronzer: Y’all–this stuff is the best!! It’s waterproof so I can work out after school and my make up still look great.
6. Mary Kay eye primer: This stuff is super cheap and lasts me almost an entire year. I put this over my eyelids before I put on my eye shadow. It keeps my eye shadow on so well that it even stays on after swimming all day.
7. Nars foundation: This is a recent purchase and I’m really enjoying it so far. It’s really lightweight but offers lots of coverage and stays on all day (except the tip of my nose?? Anyone know how I can fix that?) I was using Make Up Forever Ultra HD and liked it, but it was really creamy and heavy, so I feel like that’s a better cold weather foundation.
8. Laura Mercier transluscent powder: My favorite make up product!!! This goes over my concealer (using a wet beauty blender–trust me on that) and it keeps my make up looking flawless all day long. I also put this on my chin since that’s an oily area for me.
9. Almay eye brow pencil: I am all about coloring in my eye brows. I believe that eye brows frame the face, and it looks so much better when someone has defined brows. I use this because it’s pretty cheap but I’m dying to use something from Anastasia at some point!
Because I love make up so much, I want to know–is there something you use that I should try?
