Makeup Favorites (from a Makeup Newbie)
I usually don't wear makeup because I'm lazy and I think that almost everyone looks better without it. However when I do, I go for that french girl minimal/no-makeup look that just accentuates your best features. Mine being my eyes.
Most if not all of these products are not natural beauty brands, so it's going to be my mission to find dupes of these from more sustainable brands! But if I can't find one or I truly don't want another item - I will still use it.
80:20 baby!

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer
I honestly cannot live without this stuff. Like if I had to use only one product, it would be this stuff. It glides on perfectly and matches my skin so well. I love it - it's truly a holy grail product.
BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Liquid Highlighter in Moonstone
I use this as a sort of primer/foundation and it gives me a nice lil glo. A little goes a long way.
BENEFIT High Beam Liquid Highlighter
HOURGLASS Ambient Strobe Lighting Powder in Incandescent
These are self explanatory
- EYES -
NYX Epic Ink Liner in Black
This is a liquid liner with a point and I made my first cat eye with this. It is definitely waterproof and very black.
BENEFIT Gimme Brow in 03 Medium
Like the NARS concealer, this is one of my favorite products that I cannot live without. I have naturally shapped brows and this stuff really accentuates them. I love it.
- LIPS -
Lip Balm
My mom gave me this lip balm. It tastes like peaches and moisturizes well.
ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Lipgloss in Metallic Rose
Smells amazing and has glitter!!!!! It's definitely my go to lip product.
NYX Soft Matte Lip Creme in San Paolo
This is my first liquid lipstick that I actually liked the color and formulation of. My signature color is a sort of dark dusty rose and this stuff is no exception.
MARC JACOBS Le Marc Lip Creme Lipstick in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Now this was in the sephora birthday gift set but it glides on perfectly and is my color! Luv it!
GIORGIO ARMANI Lip Magnet in 400
This was the first red color that didn't make me look like a 100 year old woman. I remember putting it on and feeling like a bad ass french bitch which is exactly the look I'm going for. Once I'm done with this sample, I'm definitely going to get the full size (until I can find a perfect dupe.)
