Coola Rosilliance Mineral BB+ Cream SPF 30
I am all for organic skincare and ingredients but it is very hard to find in the world of makeup sometimes. So when I tried this BB cream for the first time, it changed my whole makeup routine completely. I love the alphabet creams (BB, CC, DD) for when I don’t want to put on foundation but I want a little coverage and color. The BB creams are meant to be fuller coverage so I usually opted for the CC creams lighter coverage formula but this little guy is so lightweight, you don’t even feel like you have makeup on. It is a must to have SPF in some part of your skincare routine so on my days where I want a little color, this is my go-to. You know those times when your face is a shade or two lighter than your body? I can relate, so I put this on by itself or under my foundation and it will give my face some much-needed color. It comes in 3 natural looking shades and has a bunch of nutrients and anti-oxidants to make any face look and feel amazing.
Revolution Luxury Baking Banana Powder
This banana powder is amazing for those days when I don’t want to put on makeup but my skin is having an off-day. I’m not the biggest fan of baking so I use this powder by applying a thin layer over my moisturizer when not wearing makeup or putting it over my foundation and concealer when I do. I’m a combination skin type so I like to use a moisturizing spray over it because it can be a little drying sometimes, which is basically the only downside. It evens the skins texture, making your face look smooth and it practically erases all pores and blemishes. This powder has the perfect amount of pigment to make your skin tone look more lively on the days when you got zero hours of sleep the night before. Even throughout the seasons of my face looking paler or tanner, the powder blends really well and never looks too light or dark. There are other color options from this line like the Translucent powder for all skin tones but the banana powder is still by far my favorite.
Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer
This was the first bronzer I ever bought back in my sophomore year of high school when I started dabbling in contouring and it is STILL my favorite. I’ve tried so many others and I have always gone back to this Too Faced bronzer. It’s my go-to because unlike other contour palettes or bronzers, the Chocolate Soleil has the perfect shade of brown that doesn’t have any orangey undertones. The matte brown color is great because it gives you the natural tan, just came back from the Caribbean look, without it looking too fake bakey. This bronzer blends easily and I don’t like sharp lines when I contour so it is absolutely perfect. Did I mention it smells like chocolate?? Wouldn’t recommend trying to taste it though, I have been debating it for years and don’t know if it’s worth it. (If you do, LMK because I am curious.)
IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye
I have always found that the concealers I’ve tried don’t even work that well or don’t last all day and my pimple or bags will be uncovered for everyone to see. This waterproof concealer stays on throughout my whole day and has the best coverage of any concealer I have ever tried. Also, it is perfect for those really bad breakouts because it has a bit of a drying effect, which will heal your blemishes faster. I love to use this as my light contour color because it blends easily and is so long lasting.
Too Faced Primed & Poreless
This primer is my favorite for the times when I want to protect my skin from going all out on my makeup. It completely erases pores and makes your skin so smooth, bright, and soft. Unlike other primers I have tried, you only need a tiny amount when using this product because of the lightweight consistency and it spreading easily. It will take you a minute to get through one of these bottles because you get so much out of so little. I would use this every day and night but because this primer does wonders on those annoying pores, it can clog them up if you use too much or have acne prone skin.
