My Top 5 Must-Have Makeup Products

One of my favorite things to do is play with makeup. I enjoy experimenting with different products and I love the confidence that makeup gives me. Over the years, I have added a few products to my "makeup arsenal" that have stood the test of time and still are my all time favorites. I'm very excited to share with you my top 5 must-have makeup products!

💜 Morphe x Jaclyn Hill Eyeshadow Palette- This palette, designed by famous Youtuber Jaclyn Hill, is filled with creamy, buttery shadows which not only blend beautifully, but stay on all day. It has a variety of colors for every skin tone and includes transition shades, mattes and shimmers. This is my holy-grail eye shadow palette and I reach for it over everything else. You can create a lot of different looks and even though the palette contains 35 colors, every one is unique. It retails for $38.

 

💜 Elf High Definition Undereye Setting Powder- The concealer under my eyes is always the first to wear away. While you can set your under eye concealer with a regular powder, I prefer under eye setting powders because they are usually more finely milled and won't crease on the delicate eye area. Not only does this powder by Elf leave my under eyes soft and smooth, but it also gives them an airbrushed appearance that lasts all day. It retails for only $3.

💜 Milani Conceal and Perfect Foundation- This is by far the best foundation I have ever tried and has easily become my most repurchased makeup product. It has excellent, build-able coverage, so it's extremely versatile. It lasts all day and needs minimal touch-ups. I've even taken a nap while wearing this foundation and it still looked flawless when I woke up! Keep in mind, it can look lighter in the bottle and it darkens ever so slightly as you wear it. I always go for a shade lighter, but can use a few different shades because it blends so seamlessly into the skin. It retails for $10.

💜 Duo Lash Adhesive (Dark)- I have always struggled with applying false eye lashes and have tried not only many types of lashes, but many types of glue. This lash glue by Duo is fantastic. I am someone who only wears lashes if I'm sporting a nice cat eye, so the dark glue is perfect for me. If you like to wear lashes without eyeliner for more softer looks, I would recommend going for the original clear glue. Not only does it actually stick, but it is a complete dream to peel off of your lashes when you're trying to clean them. Gone are the days of having to soak my lashes in warm soapy water and pick at the lash band with tweezers in order to get that stubborn glue off. I was amazed when all I had to do was pick at the corner ever so slightly and the glue lifted clean off the lashes in about 3 rubbery pieces. It retails for $5.99.

💜 Too Faced Perfect Waterproof Eyeliner- I discovered this eyeliner when it was included in the Too Faced Love Palette and I don't know how I survived without it. I even reach for it over my Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil. I solely use it in my upper and lower waterline and it glides on so smoothly, is very pigmented and lasts a while. You will need to reapply any eyeliner to your waterline, no matter the brand or type, so it's unrealistic to expect a product to last all day when applied to this area. I have found that it can bleed ever so slightly if you put it too close to your inner tear-duct, but this can be easily fixed by stopping just before this area. It retails for $18.
