So, with income Tax coming up, I decided to give my younger sister my older makeup and start fresh with a whole new makeup "wardrobe" if you will. I would love both HE and DS suggestions.
I have whittled what I "need" down to a list:
- foundation (or bb cream/tinted moisturizer ect)
- face primer
- bronzer
- blush
- eyeshadow (Palette suggestions would be awesome as well)
- Eyeliner (I need lots of suggestions for this)
- Mascara
- Lip products (balms/llipsticks/stains)
- Makeup brushes
What are your personal preferences?
Hello! I go through favorites often, but currently these are my top products that I love and most of them are quite affordable
Foundation - I'm completely obsessed with BB Cream and my fav is Loreal's Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream
Face Primer - For eyes, Urban Decay's Primer Potion is, if you'll excuse my lingo, 'da bomb, and for the face I actually don't use a primer, but I do use Urban Decay's De-slick Makeup Setting Spray instead
Bronzer - I'm still looking for the perfect Bronzer for my skin, but I currently use Rimmel Natural Bronzer and it's not bad
Blush - I am so torn between some favs right now! Wet n Wild Mega Glow Illuminating Powder and Physician's Formula Happy Booster Glow and Mood Boosting Blush...they are both so fab, I love them <3
Eyeshadows - So I'm the biggest eyeshadow lover, seriously, I can never have enough. I highly highly recommend Urban Decay's Naked Palette if you want to spend a little, but gain a fabulous palette that'll never go out of style. If you want to go for something cheaper and more color options, then I suggest checking out Coastal Scent's palettes. They have SO many to choose from, and at amazing prices. I just purchased the 252 color palette for only $25 :-D
Eyeliner - As MissLindaJean said, it depends on what you want. For liquid, I recommend L'Oreal Telescopic Waterproof eyeliner, stays ALL day, doesn't smudge, but it easily comes off with makeup remover. For more colors, I recommend Stila's Sparkle Waterproof Eye Liner...it does take a while to take all the color off, but it's worth it to me, the colors are so vibrant, especially Bora Bora. For pencil liners, I love Urban Decay's line, especially their Smoked 24/7 set.
Mascara - At the moment, I'm in love with Rimmel's Flex ScandelEyes Lycra Mascara. Goes on so lightly and you can seriously layer this stuff on and it won't clump. It also seriously thickens and lengthens!
Lip Products - For lipsticks, I'm actually currently into L'Oreal's Colour Riche Caresse. They can be as light as a tint or as deep and vibrant as you want if you layer! They last a good long while too. For glosses, I'm actually just using Baby Lips in all their new colors, they feel so amazing. I don't really use lipstains, I only put lipstick on, then wipe most of it off.
Make-up Brushes - Depends on how much you want to spend
If you want cheaper but good quality, I saw go with Coastal Scent's 22 piece brush set. Great brushes with good variety, don't shed and I think they're cute. If you want expensive and good quality then Pirouette brand is my favorite brush. They are SLEEK and fabulous, but definitely more expensive.
I hope these suggestions help!
