1. Kat Von D liquid lipsticks

These things are amazing. They stay on forever and have unbelievable pigment. Kat Von D created the best liquid lipsticks that I have ever tried. They are not very drying which helps especially in the winter. The amount of colors that are in her collection makes it even better because you never know when I could use the bright purple color for my lips.

2. Tarte Shape Tape Concealer

Anyone in the makeup community knows about this concealer. I recently tried it and can’t imagine my makeup routine without it. It doesn’t crease at all, unlike many other concealers. I got a shade lighter than my skin tone to highlight. Even when I put them both on my face does not look cakey. Although the smell is a little weird, but it’s a small price to pay for creaseless concealer.

3. Too Faced Chocolate Palette

Yes, the famous eye shadow palette that smells just like chocolate. It smells amazing when you open the container. The fragrance even stays on after application, which is kind of cool when people say your eyes smell like chocolate. The colors are so easy to blend and the pigment is perfect.

4. NYX HD Foundation

Before using this foundation, I was using Tarte’s Amazonian Clay foundation, and I must say I like this ‘drugstore’ one better. It is full coverage and does not leave my face cakey. The formula is very matte and does not oxidize much on my skin, so the color you get is true to what it will be in a few hours. The foundation also comes in a variety of shades which allows people who have dark skin to very pale skin to try this product. I am the first shade, yes I am pale, but not many makeup companies come out with that big of a shade range.
