Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

This is my number one go to product on this list, I could NEVER buy another mascara after using this one. I THANK GOD everyday that this mascara was invented because most days I’m too lazy to put on a full face of makeup and just putting this mascara on transforms my entire look. This is the miracle mascara and never fails to make my eyelashes pop. A bit pricey, but 100% worth every penny.

Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Setting Spray

The last thing you need after spending hours putting on a flawless face of makeup is for it to sweat off or get smeared. This setting spray is a LIFESAVER. This product can be on the pricier side, but again you get what you pay for, and if you put a lot of time and effort into making sure your makeup looks perfect, this spray is a must. After applying this spray, there is absolutely nothing that is ruining your makeup, and the best part is you only need a few spritzes for this to work, so the bottle lasts a long time.

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

I love this palette because it works well with all skin tones! This palette has a pinkish tone to it but is still very neutral so it is definitely one of my go to palettes because you can almost always make it work with any kind of outfit. This palette is perfect for both a night out and a job interview. I also LOVE this palette compared to the other Naked palettes because it includes more shimmer eyeshadows compared to the other Naked palettes. Again, this is another pretty expensive item, but the high quality of the eyeshadow is definitely noticeable and worth the price.

ELF Liquid Eyeliner

FINALLY! A cheap drugstore makeup item I cannot live without! The super thin brush allows you to get the perfect winged eyeliner look. It does not flake off or easily smear and gives a nice intense black color with the first swipe. This eyeliner is only around $3 and honestly the quality of this product is worth much more than that. This is must have if you are into eyeliner, it is truly a STEAL.

Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm

This is a product I just recently discovered, but the minute I first used it I went back and bought every single color. This lip balm not only hydrates my lips immediately, but also looks super cute on. Depending on the color you use, it can be paired with a going out outfit, or even a business professional look. I love the darker red shades because they are actually pretty bright for a tinted lip balm and make my lips look more plump and healthy. Even the lighter shades look awesome with casual everyday looks.

 

Annie McLean

C Mich '21

Hey! My name is Annie and I'm majoring in Integrative Public Relations and minoring in Multimedia Design at Central Michigan University. I love drawing and painting and I spend a lot of my time outdoors, more specifically on the water. I love to paddle board, boat, kayak, rollerblade, and bike. I LIVE for dogs and I would own 500 if I could. I have a black lab puppy named Luna and I miss her everyday I'm here at CMU. I love to listen to music, my taste is pretty diverse, but I am especially into 90s pop and alternative. My guilty pleasure is watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians, yes I know, but I am ADDICTED. My ultimate goal is to hopefully run social media platforms for a large company such as Victoria's Secret or Kylie Cosmetics.
