My dad is a general manager at Ulta, therefore I get to try so many different makeup products. However, out of all the makeup I own and have been able to try out, there are some products that I tend to always go back to. Here they are!
1. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
One of the first makeup products I tried after my dad started working for Ulta, and one I'll continue to use! I love this eye shadow primer because it allows eye shadow to go on so smoothly, it never creases, and helps prevent fall-out. I would suggest this to anybody, anytime.
2. NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat Powder Foundation
First off, I love the brand NYX in general. They are pretty affordable, and for the most part, give good products. I have pretty decent skin, and don't need a ton of coverage, however, after I put on CC cream, this foundation adds a nice finishing touch to smooth out my skin.
3. Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil
To me, this is the perfect eye pencil to fill in your eyebrows. It works really well, but doesn't look too unnatural.
4. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
I have a lot of mascaras that I use, but this one always gives my eyelashes a full look. It can definitely work for anybody!
5. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser
This is one of the few drug store products that I use, but I like it better than any high-end concealers I've tried. It has an easy application and covers the bags under my eyes and any blemishes super well.
6. Buxom Full-On Lip Polish
I don't use many lip glosses, but this is one I love, specifically in the shade Gabby. This lip gloss adds just enough color with shimmer to my lips, and it stays on really well for a gloss.
7. Benefit They're Real Mascara
Another mascara I really like. They're Real goes on really well, and I never have any issue with clumping with this mascara either.
8. Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray
I always like to set my makeup with setting spray, and I've tried many different ones. The All Nighter Setting Spray is one I always go back to, though. It keeps my face feeling fresh and not oily, and helps my makeup hold really well.
9. Lorac POREfection Mattifying Face Primer
This is my favorite face primer. It makes my skin feel so soft and smooth, and makeup goes on really well after applying the primer.
10. Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Eyeshadow Pallette
These eye shadows are really pigmented and apply well. The pallette has mostly neutral colors, but it has a couple of bright colors to use as well. It works well as an everyday pallette, but those extra vibrant colors can give you a look for a night out.
11. Benefit High Beam Highlighter
I usually prefer powder highlighters, but this liquid highlighter is one of my favorites. It's a light pink shade and provides just the right amount of highlight.
12. Lorac Front of the Line Pro Liquid Eyeliner
This is my favorite liquid eyeliner. It has a tip made of bristles, it's really pigmented, and it is super easy to use. If you're just getting started with eyeliner, or you're a seasoned pro, I recommend this one.
13. Teeez Cosmetics Eve's Ready To Wear Lipstick
I just recently discovered this lipstick, and I love it. It stays on all day and is nice and pigmented. The shade Romantic Red is my favorite, it's a bright red with "pinky" tones to it.
14. NYX Proof It!
This is a waterproof mascara top coat. You simply add it on top of any mascara and it makes your mascara waterproof. I'm not a huge fan of waterproof mascara, so I don't want to ever purchase any, however, this product lets me waterproof my mascara if need be.
