These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things...

No matter if I am doing makeup for a wedding, a photo shoot, an event, a fashion show, a music video, ANYTHING... the number one question people ask me are my favorite products? What mascara do you use? Whats the BEST foundation? What do YOU use? Well I have a lot of favorites, so the answers to these questions are endless. HOWEVER, if you were to peek inside of my PERSONAL makeup bag at the moment.. this is what you would find... So without further a-due, these are my favorite makeup products of the moment. 

LIPS

I have had the exact same favorite lip stick since I was hmm maybe 10? Whenever you see me this will always be in my pocket... ALWAYS. In my eyes this is the perfect sexy nude. 

MAC LIP STICK
COLOR: MYTH

MAC LIPSTICK 
COLOR: MILE

Now some of you may not see a difference in this color from the previous one, but to me it has a big difference. This was a limited addition color that I only bought one of ... Im kicking myself for it. Its a nude with a 10% more hint of pink. 


MAC LIPSTICK
COLOR: PINK NOUVEAU

This color is my summer go-to. I love it for date nights and nights out with my girls. It adds and extra little kick to my summer looks. 

This picture is deceiving... look below to see what the color looks like on.


LIP GLOSS
I have two lip glosses of the moment. * Both can be purchased at Sephora *

1. NARS IN STRIP TEASE

2. SMASHBOX O-GLOSS
I love this lip gloss because it is smart. What do I mean by that? It detects the color of your lips and changes to a certain shade of pink that is perfect for your natural lip color. Highly recommend this product. 



FACE MAKEUP
Let me first say, I am a huge believer in sunscreen in foundation. Although it is not 100% coverage, it is better than nothing. Both listed products are by VICHY... I love this brand. Very very effective, beautiful results. Although it is a little pricey.
 Point blank, the best foundation I have ever come across in my life. 10/10... the best. 

Great for the beach.

BRONZER
Beautiful color and gives you a lot of control. I love this product. Great for the summer glow. 

EYE LINER
Best eye liner I have ever used in my life. This bad boy will stay on your lids until the sun don't shine. It is perfect for the LBW (aka LITTLE BLACK WING). 
Once again, Sephora. 

MASCARA
In my eyes, it doesn't matter which mascara you use, rather, how you apply the mascara you have. I recommend spending AT LEAST 5 minutes applying mascara. Take your time. Right now I am using Collossal which can be found at CVS or Walgreens. 



There you have it... all my dirty little secrets!

Until Next Time...
