Makeup Favorites As of Late

Makeup can be SO fun to play with and I mean who doesn’t love finding some great new products to add to their routine? So today I’m routing up some of my makeup favorites as of late. Some are all time faves and some are new. Hope you enjoy!

NARSISSIST Wanted Cheek Palette: I am a big blush lover. I wear blush absolutely everyday. Well, on the days where I actually wear makeup! This is a limited-edition palette so I don’t know how long it will be for sale but I thought it was worth mentioning since I LOVE the colors. It has shades in matte, satin and shimmer finishes. Love using palettes when I have to travel so I don’t have to carry around a bunch of different products.

NARS Natural Radiant Longer Foundation: This is a new foundation I’ve been loving. It is very light and makes the skin actually look radiant, I swear. I usually top it with the Laura Mercier translucent powder and it looks SO good! It has a solid medium coverage however you can definitely build it up to full coverage and wears very nicely on the skin. In terms of application, I usually apply it to my skin using a damn beauty blender and this is really how I feel it goes on with a flawless finish.

Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer: So I’ll be honest, I know this is a drugstore product but I am obsessed. I’ve used it for YEARS. I love that it’s a very lightweight concealer (I’ve definitely used some VERY heavy ones). This product brightens my under eye area giving me a more awake look. I also love slipping it into my purse when I go out at night for any touch ups since the application is SO easy.

Smashbox Photo Edit Eye Shadow Trio: I have heard mixed reviews on this eye shadow but I am a big fan. They have become some of my favorite shadows right now. I love the warm tones and I feel like they are very pigmented. Also, a little goes a long way. If you like carrying around smaller eye shadows as opposed to a huge palette this may be for you!

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder: Legit the holy grail of setting powders. It sets my makeup perfectly and if you have any problem with concealer creasing you have to try this. I am confident you won’t regret it! I also am in front of the camera a lot and I feel like it completely gets rid of any shine as well as help set  foundation to stay all day. I have dusted it all over and also used the baking technique both work flawlessly with this powder!

bareMinerals Gen Nude Lip Lacquer: Every time I wear this liquid lipstick I get TONS of compliments and people asking which lipstick/gloss I’m using. I have tried a lot of products and although there are some I like, there are a LOT that leave my lips feeling super dry and uncomfortable. No one needs that. This lip gloss feels super creamy on the lips and gives amazing color. It gives me a super pouty look which I love and lasts hours!

Laura Mercier Face Illuminator: I am pretty sure you guys can tell I have a small love affair with all things Laura Mercier. I can’t help it, they are just SO good! This highlighter is SO gorgeous on. To be honest, all shades are to die for although I use Indiscretion a LOT. For days/nights that I want more of a dramatic look, I spray little fix plus and it’s metallic gorgeous-ness!

L’Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Glow Amour Glow Boosting Drops:  If you are looking for a great drugstore illuminator then I’m absolutely in love with the L’Oreal Lumi entire collection especially these glow boosting drops! They are absolutely amazing and you can use them so many different ways. You can use alone and apply it anywhere that you want to highlight or you can mix it in with your moisturizer and/or foundation to give an overall glow to yours kin. I love that it’s very pigmented but you can control the intensity by adding more to it. I love using it with a beauty blender! And FYI I typically apply this to the high points of my cheekbones, tip of my nose, cupids bow and underneath my brow area.

bareMinerals BAREPRO Concealer: Okay newly obsessed with this concealer. If you guys saw, I did a huge blog post about the BAREPRO Foundation and Concealer which I am loving here. I wasn’t joking when I said I loved it and I think the two together work amazing but the concealer is really what stands out to me! Just so you guys know it is a heavier concealer than the age rewind one I mentioned above so I use it for days that I want a little extra coverage. It is a an ultra-creamy stick that glides on easily and gives you 16-hour full coverage for dark circles and blemishes. It is crease-proof, waterproof and humidity-resistant to help correct and contour. Honestly gives AMAZING coverage if you’re looking to cover a bit more. Because of its thicker consistency I suggest using a damp beauty blender to blend it in and you’ll have a flawless look!
