In this post I’m going to share my makeup essentials.

 

No makeup can be complete without a good mascara. I used to use a lot mascaras sold by Victoria’s Secret, but since they discontinued their makeup line, I had to find something new. Currently, I’m using Clinique Lash Doubling  and Benefit They’re Real! Lenghtening & Volumizing.

 

When I was younger I did not use primers, but nowadays, I can’t imagine putting make up on without them. They definitely make your makeup stay on longer. For face, I’m using Cover FX Primer that I received a s a sample, and for eyes, my favorite Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion (Original). I’m on my second tube right now.

 

My eyeshadow palette consists of browns, pinks and purples. This YSL eyeshadow compact contains purples tones. It’s an older palette, but you can get similar colors in Couleurs 05 compact. For cheeks, I love Becca Beach Tint. I love that you can put it on both your cheeks and lips. I rarely use lipsticks, but I can’t leave the house without lip gloss. This one is Elizabeth Arden and can be purchased at Macy’s. It is peach in tone, which is great if you need a nude look for any situation.
