Having a deep love for make up can be pricey. If you’re like me, you like to bounce around until you find what works well for you regardless. So here are my reccomendations for make up that have made my fave list over the past year!
Foundation Splurge:
MAC Cosmetics Pro Longwear SPF 10 Foundation, $29.50
I love this foundation, because no matter what I do through out my busy day, this foundation keeps with me. My combination skin is very prone to break outs, so this non-comedegenic formula does nothing but benefit my skin. It’s very light-weight, doesn’t give a cakey foundation look, and has awesome coverage!
Foundation Steal:
Maybelline Fit Me Foundation, $7
This foundation leaves a great, light-weight natural finish. Although it isn’t a buildable, full coverage foundation, it does gives your skin a healthy, natural glow that matches your skin tone perfectly!
Concealer Splurge:
NARS Concealer, $22
A tube of wonder, the concealer gives awesome coverage to hide any flaws or blemishes you’d like to keep under wraps. It goes on smoothly with out a greasy feel, however applying too much of it will definitely give a cakey appearance. So be generous.
Concealer Steal:
Avon’s IDEAL SHADE Concealer Stick, $6
Got a blemish or two? The IDEAL SHADE concealer not only helps cover up that blemish, but can also help fight it. Despite it’s good coverage, the concealer can also appear cakey and wear off.
Blush Splurge:
Smashbox Blush Rush, $24
Look like a natural beauty with this awesome blush that still dazzles me. When applied correctly, this pressed-powder blush highlights the cheekbones perfectly, brightens the skin, and doesn’t wear away.
Blush Steal:
L’Oreal True Match Blush, $10.95
Natural flush? Effortless Application? Skin enhancing? What more could a girl ask for!
Mascara Splurge
Dior DiorShow Mascara, $24.50
This smooth formula made my lashes so bold, I didn’t ever want to do without it. Going on clump-free, it gave the illusion that I had double the lashes that I actually had. Heaven…
Mascara Steal
Maybelline Volum’ Express The Falsies, $7.99
I picked this up at the department around the corner, and fell in love instantly. I didn’t even have to try with the mascara as it defined my lashed better than ever. It works its magic with length and volume, clump-free!
Eyeliner Splurge:
Make Up Forever Aqua Eyes Eyeliner, $17
This award-winning eyeliner glides on smoother than ever, allowing an effortless application and bold appearance without smudging off! So many colors too!
Eyeliner Steal:
Maybelline Line Express Eyeliner, $8
An eyeliner that comes in the blackest of blacks with a long-lasting, smooth application. It also has an end for smudging to re-create Kim Kardashian’s fierce smoky eye!
Lip Gloss Splurge
MAC Dazzleglass Creme, $18.50
The smooth application of this lip gloss doesn’t hold back it’s shine. Creamy with a glassy look will make those lips look irresistible
