What's in my Makeup Bag?
If you know me, you know I stick to what I love, so when it comes to makeup I love I am truly a die hard for every product. I have a large makeup bag that’s holding all my current favorites and i’m so excited to share them with you. These are products I use every time I do my makeup I have a couple options that I switch around in between but these are my go-to’s at the moment. It’s hard to get me on something new, so if you’re looking for some new products in your regimen, definitely give some of these a try! There’s a lot, so buckle up!
Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer - I am not a primer snob, but I literally don’t think I can live without this stuff anymore. I love it’s moisturizing and tackiness, which is exactly why they call it a hydro grip primer. It fully lives up to the name this is now a must in my makeup routine.
Mac Cosmetics Strobe Cream in Peach Lite - if you’ve been following my journey on instagram then you know this has always been a staple in my makeup kit and my personal makeup bag. I love natural dewy makeup and I feel like this has always been my secret weapon to achieving that plus it’s great on it’s own without makeup as well for a skin pick me up!
L’Oreal Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation - this is another product that’s been with me for a couple of years. I’m telling you guys, when I love something I really love it and I will repurchase it over and over until something else sweeps me off my feet. I also like to have a ton of different foundations on hand as that is one product I like mixing and switching daily if I feel like it. This one is just so lightweight and I truly love the glowy skinlike finish of it.
L’Oreal Infallible Up to 24HR Fresh Wear Foundation - this one is new to my collection, but so necessary during summer. I naturally get a little shine during the summer, so I feel like this one holds the shine back a little. It’s more full coverage than the one above, but I also use a very small amount as I don’t like a lot of foundation in general but especially in summer.
L’Oreal Infallible Full Wear Concealer - Ok, I know, last L’Oreal product! There’s something about their base products especially the infallible line it seems that I just love. All the formula’s are seriously amazing, I mean cleary, I have three that are in my constant rotation. This conceal is a dupe for Tarte Shape Tape, but not as drying. I am in love with this concealer and don’t know if it’ll ever leave my bag to be honest.
Fenty Matchstick - what can I say, I love love love this stuff so much! I am a cream contour queen and this product absolutely gets the job done just how I like it. I’ve used a few products in my cream contour days, but so far this is my favorite because of it’s finish. I don’t like my contour to be shiny and these have a matte finish, so I am here for it and I love how easily you can draw on the product to get the perfect shapes and shadows.
Mac Cosmetics Mineralize Skin Finish - I’ve always been such a huge fan of Mac for a few reasons, I’m a 90’s baby and as a freelance makeup artist, Mac has always been this holy grail, mother of all makeup brands. For all good reason to, everything works well and they’ve always had a diverse shade range which is what all makeup brands should have. I use this product in two different ways, I have one shade for my entire face and one to bronze. I absolutely love the natural finish of these bad boys because this girl hates a powder-y face! Give Me Sun! is the absolute best bronzer shade for me during summer and I could bathe in it.
E.L.F Cosmetics Primer Infused Bronzer - Wow, I can’t say enough about this bronzer. I really love the formula and the color is absolutely perfect for me (Forever Sunkissed). To be honest, I didn’t realize this was a primer infused product which sort of makes sense now because It’s a really nice formula that’s affordable but lasts long. I think sometimes we think products from drugstore and lower cost aren’t comparable, but E.L.F really does an amazing job with all products.
E.L.F Blush - Again, this product is amazing and so affordable! This isn’t my first run with E.L.F blushes, so this doesn’t surprise me. I recently bought it to see if i’d like it just as much as the bronzer and I do! The great thing about E.L.F truly is how affordable they are, but also how good the products work considering their price point and in general.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder - This woman knows her brows and all her products prove it. This is an oldie but goodie. I’ve tried a few brow products and found myself back with this one. Ever since I got my brow lamination (brow lift) i’ve barely needed to use any products, so this one is my go to! I also love how the product comes with two colors, that is exactly what I need and look for in my brow products.
Maybelline Colossal Big Shot Mascara - Another goodie I always come back to! I’m not a major mascara snob, I will always get drug store versions because it’s not a product I wish to pay high end prices for. I think drug store has many great options and this is one I always end up going back to after trying other ones. It’s a nice formula that is the perfect dryness I look for in a mascara and lasts quite awhile.
Mac Cosmetics Whirl Lip Liner - This is my holy grail lip product. It’s the perfect pinky nude for me and it probably won’t be leaving my bag anytime soon.
Mac Cosmetics Velvet Teddy Lipstick - I don’t play around with my lip products and I have a certain natural nude look i’m always go for and this one is not only the perfect color for my lips, it’s that my lip but better color, but also a very comfortable formula.
Ardell Wispy Lashes - This are a staple to my look, so I always need them on deck! I love a natural look and these I can wear with little to no makeup or full glam and it’s always pulls my look together.
Every product I mentioned is linked as well as the pictures! I’m always beyond happy to share what i’m loving and I hope you guys end up trying some of the products and if you do leave a comment and let me know how you like it!
