Fave #1: Kat Von D Beauty Everlasting Lip Liners
We love this item because they dry down to a matte finish and they last all day. You can wear them by themselves and pair with a gloss or you can wear them all over the lip and pair with a lipstick. Either way, these need to be in your bags!
Fave #2: Makeup Forever Cosmetics Waterblend Foundation
It gives you the feeling of a tinted moisturizer but its buildable. You can achieve a fuller coverage or you can apply less and have naturally glowing skin. It looks gorgeous in photos and it wears well throughout the day. Most important, you can feel glamorous without wearing a heavy foundation.
Fave #3: Cream Blushes – Glossier Cloud Paint and Makeup Forever HD Blushes
Cream blushes in general are super underrated. They tend to work in perfect synergy with the skin and keeps you looking dewy, hydrated, and fresh without looking dry. The problems you find with powders, the more you apply the drier you get. Creams allow the color to look like its coming through the skin instead of sitting on top.
Fave #4: Embryolisse Hydra-Masque intense moisturizing and regenerating Moisturizer
Any Embryolisse product is amazing but why we love this one so much is because it provides the hydration you get from masks in a cream moisturizing formula. You are able to wear it underneath makeup as it also can be used as a primer.
Fave #5: L’Oreal Voluminous Waterproof Mascara Carbon Black
This mascara provides great length and volume while also being dark so a little bit goes a long way. We love this product so much because its affordable, easy to find at any drugstore, and it looks gorgeous. Its a no brainer product.
