When it comes to doing my makeup everyday I like to keep it simple, but because I am an over organized woman, I always bring extra bits and pieces for a just in case scenario in my makeup bag.
My everyday essentials would have to be complexion products, foundation, concealer, powder and blush are a must for me personally. I’m sure everyone has Kylie Jenner on Snapchat (she has the coolest life ever!) she sometimes posts makeup or skin tutorials and lets everyone know exactly what she uses. Ofcourse I was one of those people who immediately went out and bought what she used, which was the Urban Decay One and Done. This product is like a tinted moisturizer with great skin care benefits that gives a nice sheer, luminous coverage that looks like your skin but better. It has peptides, vitamins and moisturizing ingredients that are meant to firm and make your skin look more radiant over time.
If I have squeezed a pimple or need more coverage, I then grab either my Too Faced Born This Way concealer or Bare Minerals powder concealer, or both if I have something that needs heavy duty coverage! Born this way is nice and hydrating, so really great for under eyes and over flaky pimples that have been squeezed. The Bare Minerals powder concealer is made for the under eyes but works really well to cover blemishes as well.
I have always loved the Mac Studio Fix powder. It smooths out your skin and gives more coverage to any base so that is why I love using this with a tinted moisturizer for the perfect amount of effortless coverage.
For blush I don’t believe there is a better brand than Hourglass. Their Ambient Lighting blushes are stunning and give luminosity to the skin with one swipe. They are also beautiful as eye shadows, which is what I use them for as well if I need a little extra colour. My personal favourites are ‘Mood Exposure‘ and ‘Dim Infusion‘.
Honorable mentions for my essentials are my Hourglass Arch pencil in ‘Blonde’, Urban Decay Brow Tamer in clear, Too Faced Shadow Insurance (in case I decide to wear blush as eye shadow), Bare Minerals Prime Time, Maybelline Great Lash mascara, Stila Stay All Day liquid liner, Real Techniques setting brush, Bare Minerals tapered brush and Hourglass Surreal Light palette from last year.
