Primer -
I always always always start by moisturizing with my
Tula Day & Night cream, along with
the Eye Renewal Serum to prep my skin. Once that sinks in a bit, I've been using
this Sisley primer, and have seen an improvement in hydration. (Make sure to moisturize well before so the primer can do it's job and lock that moisture in!) My skin is sensitive and dry, so my primers focus more on hydration than pore minimizing, etc. I also really like
First Aid Beauty Coconut smoothie primer, and
Laura Mercier Radiance primer.
Foundation -
1.
Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra long wear foundation. My skin glows like crazy with this! 15 hour wear, matte finish, and medium to full coverage. Sweat, humidity, water and transfer resistant. Plus, it doesn't oxidize so your color will stay all day long! This is a huge thing for me because I have a hard time being matched with foundations due to the fact that they typically oxidize and get darker and turn me orange after a while. This literally stays the same, and I love it!
2.
Laura Mercier Silk Creme Photo Edition - This is really great if you have dry skin, and want a flawless, long-wearing look. This is 12 hours of full coverage, and feels super comfortable.
3.
It Cosmetics Bye Bye Lines This is a new-to-me product, and I instantly fell in love with the natural, and radiant glow it gives my skin. I only use a little bit, and wear this as my lightweight - everyday foundation. Coverage is build-able, and feels really light on the skin.
4.
Dior Diorskin Forever, SPF 35, with a luminous matte finish. Flawlessly corrects and evens your complexion. Stays put for up to 16 hours. Typically, I save this for shoot days, or if I know I'll be going all day long with the kids. Doesn't feel heavy on the skin. Does oxidize darker for me personally, so I had a shitty time getting matched correctly.
Concealer -
1.
YSL touché éclat radiant touch- This concealer brightens my eyes and makes me feel and look more awake/refreshed. This is great to use on the hollow of the chin, contour of the lips, and sides of your nose.
2.
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer - All time favorite! Build-able, luminous, hydrating, lightweight, and creates a soft & smooth complexion. I use the color "Custard".
Blush -
1.
Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour blush in color "Paaarty".
2.
Nars "Orgasm" This is a cult favorite for a reason. The color works great on a multitude of skin tones, and blends really well.
3.
Honest Beauty creme blush If I want a super dewy, and soft look, I'll reach for this one. I used it practically all summer long, especially on off days when a tinted moisturizer was all I needed. I have color
Highlight -
1.
Becca Shimmering Skin in "Champagne Pop". You'll be obsessed the first time you try it.
2.
Laura Mercier Face Illuminator in "Devotion" and "Addiction". (I use
this fan brush to apply)
Bronzer -
I only use my tried and true
Laura Mercier Matte Luminance Baked Powder in "Bronze 2". The best, and such a natural color that blends so well, and creates a soft glow. I use
this Bobbi Brown brush to apply, and it's amazing!
Eyeshadow -
If you know me, you know my
Sigma "warm neutrals' palette is my everyday go-to. Even if I'm trying a new color, I'll always start with my Sigma palette first. The colors are perfect and blend like a dream. I also really love using my bronzer and highlighter for a fresh look that makes you glow like no other.
Wander Beauty Exquisite Eye Liquid shadow
Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerize Cream shadow in color "Marie Antoinette"
Brows -
I swear by my
It Cosmetics Brow Power, and I use the universal taupe color.
This pomade is great to keep your brows in place after you've filled in.
Mascara -
I never go without my
IT Cosmetics Superhero. Quite literally, the superhero of my Glambox. For everyday I'll wear it alone, but if I want a more dramatic lash, I'll layer my favorite
Maybelline Lash Sensational on top, or vice versa. Recently, I tried
Loreal Lash Paradise, and I like it a lot. Definitely my top 3, and if you ask what mascara i'm using, it's one (or all!) of these.
Lipstick/Gloss -
These are my top colors that I constantly rotate, and if you see me wearing a lip color you like on Instagram/Stories, one of these is it!
1.
Dior Lip Maximizer #006 &
002
2.
Charlotte Tilbury lip cheat in
"Pillow Talk" all over the lip +
It Cosmetics Je Ne Sais Quoi in
"Rose" (This is such a great lip balm!)
3.
MAC Lipglass "Cultured"
4.
Fresh Sugar Lip Balm Advanced Therapy - This is amazing and creates a neutral glow if you use after the
Sugar Lip Scrub.
5.
Buxom "White Russian"
I wanted to write a post like this so that you can go back for reference, keep all of my favorites that I use in one place, and so I can be helpful and direct anyone that asks questions regarding my makeup on Instagram/Facebook/Twitter over here!
In addition to this post, I'll have new makeup tutorials uploaded to
my Youtube Channel. Make sure
to subscribe so you know when they are published, and let me know if there is a particular beauty look you'd like to see me film. (I actually had to create a new Youtube channel, so I do not have any subscribers on my new channel!)
Love you guys!
