Makeup is one of my favorite things ever. As someone who has spent too much money and time on the internet looking for makeup hacks and cute products, I will say I know my stuff. With that being said, I will jump into my essential products that I use in my makeup routine.
- Fenty foundation- I get that Fenty is more on the expensive side but this foundation is neither too cakey or too watery. This foundation goes on so easily without too many issues with smudging which is huge. It feels and looks so natural which is such a boost if you’re going for a more natural makeup look. It is absolutely worth the money and will last you a long time. Also, the diversity of shades is another awesome aspect of Rihanna’s makeup line, and is a much more inclusive brand for people of all backgrounds.
- 2. Nyx eyeliner- I am a big eyeliner fan and it is one of the more difficult products to use but having a solid-liquid liner helps you with practice. Nyx eyeliner doesn’t dry out very quickly and it lasts much longer than other brands. It also allows for a clean finish and if you end up making a mistake, its not too tricky to wipe off.
- 3. Any colourpop eyeshadow- You just can’t go wrong with any of the colourpop palettes. With so many different colors to choose from, you can create so many fun looks. I always love creating a fun look with the different shades each palette has.
- 4. Milk makeup blush- Milk makeup is still rather unheard of in the makeup universe but one of the cool things about is that it is a vegan brand. Milk makeup’s blush is excellent and it works on so many skin tones.
- 5. Lastly, I will recommend just for a polished makeup look getting a good primer and moisturizer. Dove has excellent moisturizers and you can find a decent primer at any drugstore around you.
