From getting your eyeliner just right to finding the perfect contour, makeup is a passion of just about every girl out there.  Buying makeup can sometimes be difficult because there are many different choices.  So girls, set down your PSL- here are seven makeup products you need to look your best this fall.

1. Oval Brush

The best way to blend your contour is by getting an oval brush, such as Artisbrush or Mac’s Oval 6 Brush.  However, you can find inexpensive versions on Amazon.  This is a must have that is worth every penny.

2. Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Modern Renaissance Eyeshadow Palette

For those of you who really want to splurge on makeup, Anastasia Beverly Hills is the perfect brand.  Realgar, Cyprus Umber, and Venetian Red are the perfect shades to pair with your favorite sweater.

3. e.l.f. Baked Highlighter

Highlighter has been all the rage lately, but it’s so hard to find an effective product while on a college budget.  E.l.f. is every broke girl’s favorite brand and to make matters better, it is also cruelty free.  The baked highlighter is a necessity.

4. Too Faced Sketch Marker

These eyeliners are very cute and will bring out your inner 90’s girl.  Bright, bold colors are coming back into style.  However, if you are not into that, the Smokey Emerald shade is the perfect match with your favorite look.

5. Makeup Revolution’s Vivid Baked Bronzer

Having a good bronzer is essential.  This product is under $10 and comes in three shades: Ready to Go, Golden Days, and Rock on World. 

6. Kylie Leo Lip Kit

If you’re a fan of the Kardashians, you know all the rage surrounding Kylie’s cosmetic line.  The shades vary from light pink to even black, however the “Leo” shade is the perfect addition to your makeup look this fall.

7. Tarte- Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara

You must have a good mascara to complete the perfect fall look.  Tarte is another cruelty-free brand, however is a little more expensive than e.l.f.  This mascara will lengthen and condition your lashes and also comes in a waterproof version.

The new season is slowly approaching us, so splurge and get new lipsticks or eyeliners.  You deserve it!
