~ My Holika Holika Petit BB Cream in "Moisture"

~ Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel moisturizing bronzing powder in #61 Desert Corail

~ Any matte black eyeshadow

1. Avon Glimmersticks in Midnight Black. This is my favorite eyeliners. They last all day and have great pigmentation.

2. Clinique Mascara. I don't have a preference all of Clinique's mascaras are amazing. Plus they aren't too pricey considering they are only $4 more then a drugstore one.

3. ELF 144 Eyeshadow Pallete. I love ELF's eyeshadows they are the best things ever! So pigmented, they last all day, and they are cheap!

4. Esos Lip Balm. Love these!

5. Dr. Jart Black Label Detox BB Cream. Love this! :)

 
First of all, I am SO glad I found this site!  It's great to be able to read actual, unbiased opinions.

I'm going to break mine down into "natural makeup" and "going out makeup", so I can get more items listed, wink, wink!

Ok, Top 5 Natural Beauty Products that I can't live without:

  1) Bare Minerals Original Foundation, Light W15

  2) Benefit "Dandelion" powder blush

  3) Urban Decay "Naked Palette I" (mostly "Naked" and "Sin")

  4) Maybelline "Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner" in black

  5) d.j.v. beautenizer Fiberwig LX Mascara, in black (I have NEVER found another mascara that does what this

        one does and stays on for literally three days!)

Ok, Top 5 "Going Out" Beauty Products that I can't live without:

  1) Bare Minerals Original Foundation

  2) Tarte Amazonian blush and bronzer

  3) Any Urban Decay or Dior eyeshadow palette

  4) Stila Waterproof Liquid felt tip eyeliner, in black; combined with Urban Decay 24/7 and MUFE eyeliners

  5) d.j.v. beautenizer Fiberwig LX Mascara, in black (seriously, please try this! The only place I know of that

         you can go and try it is Sephora.)

 
So much to narrow it down to! 1) Smashbox Photo Primer with Dermaxyl-goes on like butta, fills in all the little ugly dents and imperfections. I LOVE this stuff! It makes any foundation I wear look great. 2) Nars Light Reflecting Loose Setting Powder-best powder EVER! The formulation is absolutely amazing and the way it blurs little wrinkles is incredible! 3) Nars blushes-Orgasm is my go-to but I've got many other colors that I really like too. 4) LORAC Pro palette-I reach for that sucker every single time I put my make up on! 5) L'Oreal Volumizing mascara in Carbon Black. I've paid so much money for HE mascaras and I keep making my way back to this mascara (which was my first love). It makes my lashes so thick and long and I get compliments every time I wear it.

 
1)  No7 BB Cream Light/Medium

2) Maxfactor Rocket Volume Mascara

3) Revlon 'Just Bitten' Lipstain and Balm

4) Plain Kohl Pencil Eyeliner

5) My secret weapon ... Vaseline ...mix a tiny bit with any of your favourite lipsticks for an instant tinted gloss :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

1. Neutrogena SPF 50 moisturizer

2. NARS blush in Deep Throat

3. Lakme eye kajal pencil

4. Tease eyeshadow form the Naked 2 palette. (Do they sell this separately?)

5. MUFE Moulin Rouge lippy!

 
1. Carmex Strawberry Lipbalm

2. MAC select moisture cover concealer in NW15

3. Eyeshadow Primer (I'm using Wet'n'Wild from the Fergie collection now)

4. MUFE Aqua Eyes in 2L (Or any sort of brown e/l)

5. Clinique Chocolatte Quad (I switch around the neutral palettes I use.)
 

 
1. A great moisturizer. Right now I'm in love with CeraVe. It's really basic but keeps my insanely dry skin moisturized all day without feeling heavy. 

2. Eyeliner. Without it, I look tired/sick/not cute so I rarely go anywhere without a little bit. I hate pencil liner so I only use gel liner (Bobbi Brown Long Wear) or a dark eye shadow in either a deep plum or brown.

3. Face makeup. I usually don't commit to one specific brand and change it up every time I run out. Right now I'm into the new YSL foundation. It has a ton of moisture and makes my skin glow.

4. Tinted lip balm. I struggle to remember lipstick so a tinted lip balm like Benetint is a great one since it's just a bit of color and a great chapped lip remedy.

5. My hair straightener. I can't go anywhere without it and no, I don't want to borrow yours. I've had a Paul Mitchel Ion Smooth forever and it's wonderful!

 
1.  Too Faced Shadow Insurance

Oh gosh, just 5???? Let's see...

 - black gel liner (I've been using MAC blacktrack fluidline and ELF)

 - eyeshadow primer (Nothing will stay on my eyes without it, not even eyeliner)

 - concealer (I've been using NYX and MAC to cover dark spots and clean up brows)

 - NYX Espesso lip liner (exactly like MAC Chestnut but only $2!)

 - MAC Candy Yum Yum

There's no way I could go with just those. Other things that I couldn't live without are:

 - Blush (my faves are La Femme and MAC, I don't know that I have a favorite shade)

 - nude eyeliner pencil (I'm really like NYX Wonder pencil and Rimmel Scandaleyes in nude)

 - MAC In Extra Dimension mascara

 - WNW MegaLast lipsticks in 966 Don't Blink Pink, 967 Dollhouse Pink, 968 Pinkerbell

 - fine eyeliner brush (I love the MAC 210 and Real Techniques Fine Liner brush)

Those are the things that I use on a regular basis

 
I absolutely love the Naked 2 Palette, and light, glow-y illuminating powders but I had to shave my everyday look down to just five things- it would be these.

Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Mushroom

Inglot 130 Rainbow Eyeshadow

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara

Fresh Sugar Lip Balm

Madison Street Beauty Aloe Powder
 

 
- moisturizer

- sunscreen

- black cream/gel eyeliner

- matte bronzer

- basic contour shades for eyes

I rotate between different products but the list always remains the same.
