Alright ladies, listen up! I’m here to tell you the top 5 makeup essentials that you need in your collection.

  1. Brow Pencil/ Gel/Powder

I for one, CANNOT leave the house without at least filling in my brows. Brows shape your face and it’s the one product that you can wear by itself and still look like you tried. Unless you have naturally full brows. #Blessed

  1. Concealer

                                    

We all know the struggle of having dark circles and dark spots, and concealer is a quick fix to even out that skin tone. Just apply to those imperfections and you’re good to go! You can also use it to highlight under your eyes after applying foundation. 2 for 1!

  1. Lip gloss

Lip gloss has gone off the radar from the matte lipstick craze, but it’s making a comeback. Pop this on to give your lips a fuller appearance and some shine.

 

  1. Highlighter

2016 has definitely been the year of the “glow”. Highlight gives a radiance to your face without looking oily. Apply to your cheekbones and temples to give yourself that sun kissed look.

  1. Setting Spray

                            

This product is overlooked but is ESSENTIAL to any makeup look. It takes away any “cakeyness” from powders and excess product and it will lock in your makeup for the entire day. It melts everything into your skin, leaving your makeup looking blended and flawless.

 

Hope you ladies find this list helpful!
