My Version Of The "Ride-Or-Die" Makeup Tag!

Hello all!!! How are you today? I'm feeling very energetic and ready to write!!

Today I'm going to show you all my "If I could only keep one product from each category of makeup" favorites and a look using them all!!


Primer:

Cover FX Mattifying Primer with Anti Acne treatment - I love this primer!! It smooths my skin, feels light on my oily skin, and doesn't make me extra shiny!

Foundation: 

NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer in Custard - I love using this on long days!! I'll press it onto any redness, and zits on my cheeks. And around my nose for a soft even complexion!


                                                                      Concealer:

Sephora Make No Mistakes High Coverage Concealer in 04 - This is the BEST under eye concealer i'v ever found!! I only need a thin layer and a half under my eyes, and I look so fresh and awake!! It does crease into my deeper lines, but once set it stays put!

Eye Primer:

MAC Prep and Prime Eye Base - I used TFSI for 4 years. But I tried this, and It works the exact same! AND it's cheaper, and contains more product. This is very thick, and tacky!! I love it!

Setting Powder: 

Laura Mercier Loose Translucent Powder - I love to set my whole face with this powder!! It makes my makeup last longer and break down less.

Pressed Powder: 

MAC Studio Fix Pressed Powder in NC20 - This is my favorite oil controlling powder! It's very matte and full coverage. But because it's so matte and full coverage, I can use this while I'm out and about on long days to touch up without making my base go splotchy!! It's amazing!

Bronzer/Contour: 
                                     

Make Up For Ever Artist Shadow in M-646 - This is THE perfect bronzer for my skintone!! I have very prominent warm yellow undertones. So anything too grey looks straight up ashy and dead on me. This is perfect! It blends out really easily, and adds subtle dimension to my cheeks!

Blush:

Clinique Cheek Pop in Black Honey Pop - This is the best blush I'v ever found!! It's a nice warm plum on my skin. It's so easy to blend out, never looks like too much, and always looks perfect!

Highlight:
                                     

Make Up For Ever Artist Shadow in ME-512 - This is a stunning gold shade that I use as a highlight on my cheek bones, inner corners, and brow bone. It's blends like butter on toast, and can be sheered out, but can also be intense!

Brow Powder/Gel:
                                     

Annabelle Brow To Go in Medium/Deep - I use the cooler deeper powder in this kit, and I use that to fill in the tails of my brows. Once set it lasts all day!!

MAC Pro Long Wear Waterproof Brow Set in Brown Ebony - This was my first brow gel I ever bought, and now I'm 3 tubes in!! This is the perfect colour for my brows, it isn't crunchy but keeps my thick brows in place. It's also pigmented enough to be used alone!!

Eye Shadow Palette: 

ELF Mad For Matte 1 - As a hooded eye'd gal. I need matte transition, crease, and deepener shades. This is the best palette for me in that regard!! I use this every single day no exceptions. The colours blend out so easily, they don't go patchy or too sheer like some matte shades do.

Single Eye Shadows: 

NARS Malacca Single Shadow - This is basically my favorite lower lash line shadow!! It adds some greenish brown shadow to my eyes that really make my warm hazel eyes pop!!

Make Up For Ever Artist Shadows from the top left to the bottom - D-926, D-826, and D-868 - If I had to pick ONE single shadow as my only one. I'd pick D-826 Fig. But I really adore all four of these shades!!! They all work SO well with my warm, brown/hazel eyes!!

Mascara: 

Benefit Roller Lash/Sephora Collection LashCraft Big Volume Mascaras - I know, I'm cheating. I couldn't just pick one!! I have crappy lashes. They are thin, and short. So I use the thicker/creamier Sephora Mascara first, and do two coats of that. Then I do two coats of Roller Lash to thin out and separate my lashes! And I get HUGE lashes with this combo!! Both do not smudge, flake, or transfer!

Lipstick: 

LUSH Santa Baby Lip Tint - This isn't a shock to ANYONE here. But this is my all time favorite lip stick!! It stays all day, doesn't dry my lips out, and is a stunning colour!
