Beauty Basics

People are always asking me about my favorite products. I thought I would do a post dedicated to just that. My everyday must have Beauty Basics. We are going to cover a lot of ground in this post. This should go without saying but these are the product that I use and are by no means perfect for everyone. I am going to focus on makeup and makeup related products, skincare and hair will be included in posts to follow.

First as I mentioned in a previous post the foundation I use is TEINT IDOLE ULTRA - Enduringly Divine & Comfortable Makeup 14-Hour Retouch-Free, Oil-Free. This foundation is perfect for my skin. My face tends to be oily and I definitly have to use blotting papers throughout the day. It is a long wearing, full coverage foundation. It is a little pricy at $42 but in my opinion well worth it. The second Lancome product I love is Lancome Dual Finish powder makeup ($35.50). These two paired together may be a bit much for some people but I love the flawless finish it produces.

The concealer I swear by is MAC's Studio Finsh Concealer, not to be confused with Studio Sculpt conclear which produces a much different result. To set the concealer under your eyes I use Benefit Powderflage which is one of my miracle products. I have fine lines around my eyes, this amazing little product prevents makeup from settling in them. I have never found another compairable product.

Nars Laguna Brozer is the product I use daily for contouring. It is the perfect shade for a bronzer and contouring product. It won't make your face look dirty or orange like some bronzers can. Another of my favorite products is Nars Orgasm blush which is a lovely peachy pink color which is perfect for many skin tones.

My favorite lip products are Revlon Color Stay lip liner in Nude, MAC Viva Glam lipstick in Gaga 2 Amplified, and MAC lipglass in Nymphette.

Eye products; MAC shadows are my favorite colors vary depending on how much effort I am willing to put into my look. A few colors I can think of which I wouldn't want to be without are; Soft Brown, Carbon, Woodwinked, and Satin Taupe.The best eyeliner in the world is MAC's Fluidline in Blitz and Glitz, its black without being super harsh. The mascara which I am most pleased with, including very expensive brands is Covergirl Lash Blast in Black. For my brows I use Revlon Brow Fantasy in Dark Brown. This product is a dual sided  product with a pencil and gel side.

It is always fun for me to hear the products which other people are in love with. I hope this was informative and if nothing else fun. Remember beauty is only skin deep, your beauty will shine through, great makeup or not!!! But fabulous makeup sure is fun!
