Makeup you can’t live without

We all have at least one product that we can’t live without. Of course, I know there are several things that I use on a daily basis that I can’t imagine myself without.
At the top of the list would be mascara. I like both AVON’s Super Full mascara and Cover Girl’s LashExact. I have AVON’s in black and Cover Girl in brown. Both are amazing and my lashes would never look so gorgeous without them.
Next would have to be a powder to cover my uneven skin tone and that shine that is the bain of my existence. I haven’t yet found a long lasting powder that can keep shine under control, but I do like Urban Apothecary’s Supernatural Powder.
I also couldn’t live without a fabulous lipstick or lipgloss. Picking my favorite would be hard to do though. Products for my lips are the one thing that overwhelms both my handbag and my makeup bag. I think I have more than the average girl. I love long lasting color products such as Max Factor’s MaxWear Lip Color and SeneGence’s LipSense. I also love Besame’s Chocolate Kiss Enchanted Lipstick and Chocolate Lip Glaze. But then there is also tarte’s double ended lipgloss and e.l.f.’s variety of lipglosses, as well. Can I not forget Lulu Beauty’s Lip Lustre??
What about you? What are some products you absolutely cannot live without?
Definitely my concealer to give me flawless skin. But second after that is a tie between mascara (and accompanying eyelash curler) and lip color, be it balm or gloss.
Recently, though, I’ve been converted to the need for a good blush for that instant, beautiful glow.
With me, makeup is all or nothing. But if I am putting forth the effort of getting all dolled up, I definitely can not live without my eyelash curler!
Definitely my philosophy supernatural powder (or a good tinted moisturizer, if I could ever find one), Clinique shimmering tones bronzer, mascara (currently loving L’Oreal Volume Shocking), and a nice lip balm or gloss (I’m not picky here, although I’ve been sticking with Clinique’s lip products ’cause they don’t have a fragrance or flavor – I’ve developed quite the aversion to both thus far in my pregnancy!). This is usually my bare minimum routine for makeup – of course, I wear more than this most of the time!
Just have to say, As a customer of SeneGence for 4 years, its the bomb. My skin looks so good and I only have to put my makeup on once a day!!
If it had to be one thing.. .I’d say moisturizer with SPF. There are days where I don’t wear any makeup at all. But I ALWAYS wear moisturizer. even when I’m camping.
my HG concealer is estee lauder’s maximum coverage camoflauge make up. omg, this is the only thing that can cover my acne scars AND under eye circles. and i only need about less than half a pea size. if any readers have acne scars, this is the HG cover up!
