Here are all the makeup products I use on a routine basis! I have tried and tested almost every makeup brand out there and tons of products. I have found that these are the ones that work the best for me! I think the hardest thing to find is a perfect foundation. Either the color is off, too pale or orangey, or the feel and look on my face would be too oily and cakey. After years of searching for the perfect foundation, I was suggested Georgio Armani by a makeup artist on set of a tv show I did. Well I gave it a try and there was no going back! The Georgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation in the color 4.5 is a perfect color match and the look and feel is flawless! It looks velvety soft and it looks like you’re not wearing makeup at all! Yet it still covers all my redness and pimples amazingly!
I recommend always using a primer because your foundation will last much longer throughout the day and it reduces oil and shine. I love YSL lipstick and lipgloss because they have great colors but they last all. day. long! I swear no need to reapply every time even after eating or kissing! I like to use natural colors such as browns and golds for the rest of my face and eyes which is why I love the Urban Decay Naked pallets. I have all of them, but this is their most recent one and the eyeshadows are awesome for any look you are going for! For an everyday look, its a safe bet to always go for a soft, rosy pink like the Tarte blush above. It compliments almost any skin tone and pulls the whole makeup look together!
Hope you enjoy!
