Just a few of my favorite things! I have two makeup bags, anyone else? And the smaller of the two gets toted around with me everywhere, tossed into whatever bag I’m using for the day. Here’s the bare essentials, things I MUST have at all times, ya know, just in case!
Since there are so many brands and ‘favorites’ that I love, and in the interest of not calling everything I own my favorite-because they are, I’ll just share my HAVE TO HAVE ITs:
- Chanel Vitalumiere in 40- Beige: my all time favorite foundation, it’s light, dewy, has buildable coverage, and is natural looking. There is also an Aqua option for lighter coverage
- Butter London Cheeky cream blush: in Ruby Murray such a natural
looking blush- comes from within almost. Buildable, long lasting, and all of their blushes are rich in color *imagine the look of flushed cheeks aftersprintingfloating up a flight of stairs* (we float baby)
- Christian Dior Creme De Rose lip balm: soothing, creamy, plumping, and the aroma of rose is at perfect potency (notice the perfection of this balm…I’m obsessed)
- Kevyn Aucoin concealer pot in SX08: such a huge amount of product in these concealer pots, creamy, full coverage, and doesn’t settle into fine lines (ahem those would be my lil finger prints…a little goes a long way)
- Shiseido eyelash curler: I have eye lash extensions but I’ve passed this lil baby on down to Corrine because it’s a ‘I can’t live without it’ kind of product. It’ll curl your lashes without denting them, doesn’t pull or snag, and the curl is natural and lasts throughout the day halleluuu
- BECCA shimmering skin perfector: TIP: if you mix this with your foundation each day, you’ll notice people staring at your glowy dewy angelic face (you can tell em that you just floated up a flight of stairs 😉 is floated a word? yes
There you have it! If you sent me off to a deserted island these would be the things I hoarded away at the bottom of my satchel! Oh, and a razor 😉
Tell me what your makeup essentials are! Maybe I can add them to mine and just create one HUGE makeup bag and then have to check it on flights and then Joe can really roll his eyes at me <3
