I love reading posts on the products people LOVE and USE. Last week, I wrote about my favorite hair products. I use EVERY single one of those items. I hate when I run out of them at the same time because it gets expensive, but they are my favorites.
This week, I am going to write about my current makeup products that I love. I change up my makeup products every so often, but some of them I use over and over again.
This is my current makeup LOVES:
Foundation
Right now I use It Cosmetics CC Cream (in medium). I love the way it smells, feels on my skin and how easily it applies. I have been using this for about 5 months. My face doesn't break out with it, it has a pretty sheen to it and it has SPF 50 in it. That is a huge reason why I use this CC cream.
I have been looking at some other foundations that offer more of a full coverage because this one doesn't cover as much as I would like. It is good, but I like a real full coverage foundation. Suggestions?
Concealer
I have tried so many concealers. I love everything from YSL (expensive) to Maybelline Under Eye Eraser, but right now, I have been using It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer. I wasn't going to buy it because I thought it only went on under your eyes, but then I asked someone at Sephora about it and she said I can use it all over my face. I have medium and it covers all my zits, blemishes and freckles. I love this stuff. I haven't used anything else since buying this tube. Plus it lasts forever.
Makeup Sponge
I know people go back and forth on the perfect way to apply your foundation, but ever since I used the BeautyBlender Sponge, I haven't used a brush or anything else. The key is to clean your sponge out all the time. It is a pain to do, but it is the best for giving you the look you want every time.
Eye Shadow Primer
I have never used any other primer than Urban Decay's Eye Shadow Primer, but I don't think I need to. Before I used primer, I used to get the crease from my eye shadow over the course of the day. Then someone was nice enough to introduce me to primer and I never turned back.
Eye Shadow
Just like with my primer, I have been using Too Faced Natural Eyes for a long time. I use other eye shadows, but I always go back to my favorite. I love the colors in it. My favorites are the second line, Silk Teddy, Push-Up and Erotica. Though I use them all, but the first three to go are the second line.
Bronzer
I go back and forth between blush and bronzer. I love Hourglass Blush, but I use bronzer more than anything else. My tried favorite is Too Faced Sun Bunny Bronzer. I love the color of this bronzer. I have been using this one for a long time. I need to buy a new one because I am left with a few broken chunks in my current one. I think this one gives you a more natural look.
Powder
After I put on all my makeup, I used It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Powder. This is supposed to reduce your pores, give you flawless skin, a finished look and it is anti-aging. I have been using it for about 5 months and I am on my second container. I love this stuff. It lasts all day long and doesn't make my face shiny.
Mascara
I don't use mascara right now because I get my lashes done. I get a voluminous look to my lashes, but they are not lengthening. I feel like they look natural and not spidery like some of the ones I see. I can't really recommend a mascara because I was always searching for the best one and none give me the look I was going for.
And there you have it. My makeup routine and favorite products that I currently use. What do you use? What are your favorites?
