Do you ever have those days where you are in a hurry, but need to look presentable? What products do you immediately go to? Ah, my list could go on for days. If someone looked in my drawer they would find a legitimate shoebox full of makeup. Did I mention that the rest of my drawer is covered as well? I might as well attach a picture so you can all get a good laugh to know that it is no joke—I love makeup! So which products are my absolute must-haves? Below you’ll find some of my favorites!
1. L’Oreal Voluminous Original Mascara, $6
Sometimes classics are the best! I remember watching my mom use the same mascara years ago. I have extremely thick, long lashes and need mascara that isn’t going to clump. This truly thickens my lashes while giving them a bold finish!
2. Maybelline Super Stay 24HR Wear Foundation, $9
Let me tell you, I have tried numerous foundations. I don’t have perfectly even skin tone, so I need coverage, but nothing cakey. I also have combination skin. This foundation is phenomenal for a drugstore makeup. The color is true to what the bottle represents, it blends easily, and it actually lasts. I wear it daily! It’s great for medium to full coverage.
3. Benefit High Beam Highlighter, $26
If you are looking for something to brighten your skin but don’t want any form of glitter on your face, this is your product! In the winter, dry skin is usually an issue for most people and it’s easy for skin to cast gray. Benefit offers two different hues to choose from. One is more of a beige hue, and the one I own has a pink hue. This product works well if dotted and blended on top of bare skin or foundation.
Stay in tune for next week’s beauty blog!
