I was never one to care about being the best at doing makeup. Of course I'm just like every other girl where I wear it everyday, put on some for work, and put on more to make me look pretty enough to attract attention when I go out. But I never cared about watching tutorials and learning tips and tricks on beautifying myself. I mean, let's be honest, watching a makeup tutorial is like attempting a DIY on Pinterest. It never comes out the way you see it on the Internet. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, please reference this BuzzFeed article.
Then when that happens I tend to just give up and pout that my life would be so much easier if I could just hire someone to do my makeup everyday while I was half asleep, like a Kardashian. Or better yet, life would be easier if I could just be a Kardashian. I don't have to be Kim, Kendall will suffice (noticing a trend here?). Anyway, there are so many steps to putting on makeup with just the basics! Contouring - how do I do it? What kind of brush to I need? I don't even know how to do winged eyeliner, which I feel is now an elementary skill in the cosmetology world. And when I asked my makeup savvy sorority sisters in college, I got mixed responses as to whether or not my eyes could pull that off. So I came to a conclusion. There's no right or wrong when it comes to makeup as long as you color inside the lines, use a mirror, and have some good lighting while you do it.
I may not be the best at doing makeup, but with skin that hates me, I want to make sure I have the best. Trust me there's nothing worse than sitting at work and your mascara starts flaking or you go out and you feel like you literally have a layer of frosting on your face. So, no, this is not a makeup tutorial, rather, this is a tried and true list of products I feel to be (some of) the best out there in no particular order.
This is by far the most inexpensive item on this list. But remember that winged eyeliner I mentioned? or have you ever sneezed before your mascara finished drying? This is cruicial in those situations where you need to just erase a little line without taking out a whole eye's worth of makeup.
I have used this same eyeliner for years. The first time I got it I went into the store and asked for the best liquid eyeliner they had, and this is what they gave me. I recently ran out again and, just incase a better one came out over the years, I asked for the best again. Guess what they gave me?
They don't lie when they say this is "weightless". You literally don't feel it on your face at all. The only time my face breathes better is when I dont have any makeup on at all.
I absolutely adore the rosy pigments in this palette. Theyre elegant, sophiticated, yet you can have fun with them all at the same time.
I can't tell you how much money I have spent on mascara at Sephora since I started wearing it. But one thing every single mascara had in common was that by about halfway through the day it would start to flake and I would want to claw my eyes out. Then I was recommended this by every beauty round-up in the fall. It has changed my life.
Same goes for concealer. I have so many different concealers that have just not worked. This one is truly amazing at how well it covers up AND moisturizes under my eyes. I put it on every. single. day. even if I don't put anything else on.
This is the first and only primer I have ever owned simply because I have never had an issue with it. My eyeliner stay perfectly in place throughout the day and night. Urban Decay just has a way with eye makeup.
