Makeup is a great way to express yourself; it also can be expensive as hell. It sucks to buy a product and it be a complete dud, which is why I hardheartedly suggest these products for your makeup bag. I personally love all of these products.
1. Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipsticks.
These are the only lipstick I trust on a night on the town. They don't budge, fully opaque, and comfortable on the lips!
2. Limecrime Liquid Lipsticks.
I ate a pork chop and mashed potatoes AND NOTHING CAME OFF, however some deep colors need a liner.
3. Nyx Duo-chrome Highlighters.
If you like iridescent shades then these are for you, they glow to the gods and have amazing shades!
4. Maybelline Fit Me Foundation (Matte).
This is less than $8, and the formula should be high end. It wears beautifully, doesn't break and is flawless on your face. THE SHADE RANGE IS AMAZING (these are just the 16 newest shades!!
5. Tarte Shape Tape Concealer.
Yes, it is as good as all the gurus say, it lives up to its hype.
6. ABH Modern Renaissance Palette.
Pigmented, soft, creamy, and the brush is even good! I could live off this palette forever.
7. Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer.
On my days where I don't want to be super glam, this is the concealer I reach for, it is light weight, has great coverage, and blends like a breeze.
8. Benefit Brow Zing.
This wax/powder combo is a perfect starter for brows and can give you natural looking brows and dramatic brows. Plus they don't budge at all.
9. Ulta Brow Pomade and Mascara in Brown.
I use the pomade to take my brows to full drama and the mascara to lock them into place and color the parts that get a little too much powder on them.
10. Coty Airspun Setting Powder.
This powder sets your makeup flawlessly. Also, if someone can comment what it smells like that would be great; I can't figure it out.
11. Nyx CC cream in the shade green.
I have a lot of redness in my face, and this cream removes it all. Also it does leave a tint to your face so make sure to use some foundation or BB cream with it (the Nyx one is great).
12. Wet N Wild Catsuit Liquid Lipstick
I don't know how these are only 5 dollars, they are amazing. I've only had a problem with Nudist Peach and Goth Topic, those are a little patchy but nothing a liner could fix.
13. Wet N Wild Highlighters and E.L.F. baked highlighters.
Again I don't know how these are so cheap. These are blinding, however on the E.L.F. highlighters you must scrape the top layer to get to product to work.
14. Stilla Magnificent Metals Glitters
THEY DON'T MOVE, THEY COMPLETE ANY LOOK, AND THEY ARE GORGEOUS!
15. Jeffree Star's Androgyny Palette.
Pigment, bold colors, blend-able, and HUGE panels. You can create a neutral eye look or something warm and fiery, or a cool tone drama look!
16. Jeffree Star's Skin Frosts.
These are so large that you could use them everyday and take months to hit pan, and with how blinding they are you probably will want to!
17. Benefit Porefessional Primer.
I only use this in my pore area, so I get the mini bottle. But it minimizes all of my pores into oblivion.
18. Benefit Roller Lash Mascara.
This mascara lengthens and voluminous my lashes so well. It looks like I could be wearing falsies if I didn't have glasses.
19. Makeup Forever HD foundation.
For an expensive foundation, this is worth the splurge. It blends out easily, can build to full coverage, and doesn't oxidize.
20. Urban Decay Primer Potion.
This leaves your eye shadow on for days, it blends easily, and keeps the shadows pigmented.
21. Sephora Creme Lip Stain.
These are my everyday lipsticks, they are extremely comfortable, pigmented, long-lasting and easy to apply. They have a great shade range and is the best middle priced liquid lipstick.
22. Clinique Take The Day Away Makeup Remover.
THIS IS THE BEST REMOVER IN THE WORLD. IT REMOVES EVERYTHING AND EVEN LIQUID LIPSTICK WITH NO EFFORT! IT LEAVES YOU SKIN FEELING SMOOTH AND YOU BARELY NEED TO USE ANY PRODUCT. BUY THIS IF YOU BEAT YOUR FACE. I've had it since February of this year and have barely made a dent.
*I do know that Jeffree Star and LimeCrime have controversy surrounding the brand owners, I am just talking about make-up products and formulas.*
