I am a self-proclaimed makeup addict. I buy new makeup products at least once a week and I like to try out all of the popular products that "Instagramers" and "YouTubers" promote online. Makeup is a great way to express your inner femininity and creativity! Here is a list of all of my absolute favorite products that I use on a regular basis:

1. Smashbox "Photo Finish Primer"

This is my all-time favorite primer. It feels soft and smooth on my skin while giving me a matte effect. I also have a bit of acne scarring on my chin, but this primer smooths that out to give me a flawless complexion when I apply my foundation. It also does not make my skin break out which is a huge plus. You can get it at Ulta for $36.

2. Naked "Hybrid Complexion Perfector"

This product is what I use on a daily basis as a foundation. It gives a lighter coverage look but still blurs the imperfections on my skin. It also perfects any discoloration that I have, which is great on my dark skin. You can get it at Ulta for $34.

3. Milani "Cream to Powder Makeup"

This works great for a heavier coverage makeup. It blends very smoothly and builds up to strong coverage. I usually use this on any zits that come up, or if my eyes are super dark in the morning. You can get it at Kmart for $7.59.

4. Tarte "Smooth Operator"

On the rare occasion that I bake my face, this is my go-to powder. It's translucent, so it looks good on any skin tone. I also put a light layer over my skin if I am feeling extra oily, it makes my skin look and stay matte. You can get it at Ulta for $33.

5. NYX "Ombre Blush"

This is my favorite blush and I've tried almost every blush on the market. It's hard to find a blush that gives life to my skin tone, so this bright pink color (I wear the color Sweet Spring) works like a charm. The bonus with this product is that is stays all day. Get it at Ulta for $9.99.

6. Benefit "Ka-Brow!"

I am new to doing my eyebrows since I have incredibly thick, curly brows. However, once I started using the "Ka-Brow!" gel, I have done my brows almost every day. The gel is super easy to use, and allows you to build up to the brows you want. Get it at Ulta for $24.

7. Essence Lipstick

The Essence lipstick in the color "Cool Nude" is my favorite lipstick. It is the perfect nude for my skin tone, and there aren't many nudes out there that work for me. The lipstick stays on for hours and doesn't feel overly dry. You can get it at Ulta for $2.99.

8. Lorac Pro Eye Palette

This eye palette has quickly become my favorite. It's colors are perfect for fall and stay on all day with no fallout. Get it at Ulta for $44.

9. Maybelline "Master Strobing Stick"

This highlighter is by far my favorite that I have tried. it is super pigmented and, when blended, packs a bright punch that lasts all night. You can get it in a variety of colors as well. Get it at Ulta for $8.99.

10. Essence "I Love Extreme" Mascara

This super cheap mascara is the only mascara I use. It lengthens my lashes and adds tons of volume. It reminds me of other mascaras 5-times its price. Get it at Ulta for $4.99.
