My 5 Makeup Must Haves

These are my top 5 makeup must haves. Products, that when I'm wearing makeup (which is almost everyday) complete me and without them I just wouldn't look the same....lol

1. Mascara- I love my eyelashes and mascara really helps to bring them out more. My favorite mascaras are Rimmel London Glam Eyes (the wand is amazzzzing), Clinque High Impact Mascara, and Cover Girl Last Blast.

2.Blush- Blush is great because it can really help to add that finished touch to a look. It can help contour, add color to the apples of the cheeks, or both. A lot of my favorites come from MAC, which are Blunt, Coopertone, and Sweet as Coco.

3.Brow Pencil/Shadow- Seriously, I'm NOTHING without my brows. When I don't fill in my brows I feel like a completely different person. I always encourage women to fill in their brows or at least keep them groomed for a more put together look. You don't have to send a lot on the products you will use to fill in your brows. I like to use a Wet n Wild brown eyeliner/eyebrow pencil, MAC Corduroy e/s, Maybelline Define a Brow in Medium or Dark brown, or MAC Brow Pencil in Stud.

4.Blotting Powder- Blotting powder has truly saved my life this past year with the changing of normal skin to oily skin. I always keep some type of powder in my purse to touch up during the day so I don't go walking around looking like I just rubbed baby oil all over my face. Blotting powders are cool because you can get them in translucent or with color. Right now I'm using Iman Cosmetics Blotting Powder in Medium.

5.Foundation- Because I love me some flawless skin, foundation is definitely on the list. Keep in mind not everyone need a medium to full coverage foundation but for me I need it (maybe not as much as I used to because my skin is clearing up). I love foundation because it smooths everything out for you. Lately, I've been trying to venture out and use different foundations...reviews coming soon. But what I use on a regular basis is Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse in Dark 2 or Makeup Forever HD Foundation in #177 (it's a tad too dark for me right now but perfect in the summer). Another inexpensive foundation is Revlon Colorstay foundation, in that I am Caramel.
