Every month or so I switch out my makeup in my bag to rotate my products. I try to experiment with different looks because I like to keep things fun. I am not one to stick a particular makeup look because I like being versatile and flexible with my makeup. I do tend to choose a lot of similar products because I know what I like, but I try to mix it up and keep things fresh. I recently lost my makeup bag this past month, the thought it just makes me queasy. But needless to say I had to try to rebuild it. These products are ones that I carry with me everyday. I keep all the rest of my makeup at home, and try to carry key products that can help me create a few different looks.
FACE
- Lorac AquaPRIME – I use this because my skin is acne-prone and this primer doesn’t clog my pores.
- Boots Complexion Refining Liquid Foundation in Nutmeg – I use this liquid foundation first to even out my skin tone. This foundation helps clear skin and absorbs oil and is great for my skin type.
- Bare Minerals Foundation SPF 15 in Medium Beige - I dust this over my face to get to build my foundation coverage.
- CoverGirl Professional Loose Powder in Medium – This powder sets my foundation and gives my face a matte finish.
- NARS Powder Blush in Gilda – The best peachy orange color ever. And its usage outlasts so many blushes because of its high pigmentation.
EYES
- L’Oreal Double Extend Mascara – This mascara is so good at lengthening lashes, and it was great about it is that the length is buildable. To make them look really long I spend about 2 minutes on each eye.
- L’Oreal Telescopic Liquid Eyeliner – The easiest thing to swipe on to add definition.
- L’Oreal HIP Color Rich Eyeliner in Black 905 – My go to eyeliner when wearing shadow.
- Too Faced Shadow Insurance – A mini version to keep my shadow in place.
- Rimmel Special Eyes Precision Eye Pencil in Black Magic - My lower lids love this with mascara on bottom lashes!
- Benefit Boi-ing Eye Bright Duo - The Boi-ing maks my under eye circles disappear when I’m really tired.
- Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow in Busy Signal - This shadow is so easy to apply all you need is your finger.
- Anastasia Perfect Eyebrow Pencil in Medium Ash – You would think I would be a darker color because my hair is black, but I don’t like my eyebrows to look too dark against my skin.
LIPS
- Rimmel 1000 Kisses Stay On Long Lasting Lip Liner in Wild Clover - I use this under my lipstick to keep it from bleeding.
- Chanel Rouge Allure in Exquise – This is one of those lipsticks that you can apply without a mirror because its texture and color.
- Revlon Color Stay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick in Miracle Mauve - I do need a mirror for this one, but I don’t have to re-apply it.
- Lancôme Lipstick Color Design – I like this red because it’s got an orange tint to it and it’s sheer. I got it some time ago, and unfortunately I don’t have the shade name.
- Stila Lip and Cheek Stain in Pomegranate Crush - This stain is such a pretty berry color, and when paired with lip balm it’s a great low-key lip slight pop of color.
- Sephora Lip Gloss in Bronzed Beauty – A pretty berry color with a hint of gold shimmer.
ESSENTIALS
- Curél Continuous Control Lotion – I like to use this lotion because it doesn’t have a strong fragrance that competes with my fragrance. The travel size is good for your hands after washes.
- Clean and Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets – These are practically my life savers. I can’t tell you how many of these I use a day.
After about a month, I will change out my eye and lip products, that way I know I’m not stuck with one look. What can I say I’m a proud beauty chameleon!
