BEAUTY BLOG: Face Products

   Woohoo! The first beauty blog is in the books! I decided to split my beauty blogs up into sections so I could cover all aspects of my makeup routine which includes: brushes, face products, skincare routine, eye products, lip products, and my hair routine! So stay tuned for more beauty blogs in the future! Now let's get into all of my favorite face products.

   The following products are a mixture of drugstore and professional makeup products, so this just goes to show you that you don't need to shell out a ton of money for good makeup! 

 

- FOUNDATION - 

   1. L'Oreal True Match Lumi Cushion:  This is my absolute favorite foundation I have ever used! I love this foundation because it is affordable and has an absolutely flawless finish. You do not look "cakey" or dry and it has build-able coverage.  I wouldn't use the foam applicator that comes in the package though, I suggest buying a brush (Favorite brush coming in a future beauty blog).  You can get the True Match Lumi Cushion for $16.99 at Rite Aid. 

   2. MAC Studio Fix Fluid: Be warned, this foundation is only for those of you who want a very matte and full coverage foundation. I only use this when I compete in pageants because it is very heavy on the skin.  It tends to break me out if I wear it daily.  It has a flawless finish for stage wear and keeps oils at bay.  Plus it has an SPF 15! It is $27.00 at http://www.maccosmetics.com/.

- CONCEALER -

   1. Fit Me Concealer by Maybelline: I love this concealer because it does not crease in my under-eye! It is light but provides plenty of coverage and hides dark circles. Plus, it is very affordable! $6.19 at Rite Aid.

   2. MAC Pro Longwear Concealer: Again, if you are looking for heavier coverage this one is for you! You can wear this on a daily basis and it is great for covering up acne. I advise putting all concealer on with a beauty blender for a more flawless finish. $21.00 at http://www.maccosmetics.com/.

- POWDER -

   1. Hello Flawless by Benefit: I love this pressed powder because it is build-able and soaks up any oil that is on your face. Provides a beautiful finish! $34.00 at http://www.sephora.com/.

   2. Bye Bye Pores by It Cosmetics: This is a good setting powder and it is great for baking as well. It just give you a flawless and pore-less finish! $24.00 at  http://www.ulta.com/brand/it-cosmetics.

- BRONZER/CONTOUR -

   1. Chocolate Soleil Bronzer by Too Faced: Oh my goodness! Not only does it smell like chocolate, it is gorgeous to contour with! The formula is so smooth and creamy so it just glides on, I love it! $30.00 at http://www.sephora.com/too-faced?node=1050000. 

   2. Hoola Bronzer by Benefit: This comes close second to Chocolate Soleil! It goes on gorgeous and pretty much looks good on everyone! $29.00 at http://www.sephora.com/benefit-cosmetics.

   3. Butter Bronzer by Physicians Formula: This bronzer smells like the beach!!! I love that it gives you such a beachy glow.  It is definitely affordable! $14.95 at Rite Aid. 

- BLUSH -

   1. Milani Baked Blush in Dolce Pink; I loveeeee this blush! It goes on so smoothly and the color is absolutely gorgeous! It is a shimmer blush so it gives you a beautiful glow. It is my absolute favorite! $8.29 at Walgreens. 

   2. Marc Jacobs blush in Obsessed: This is such a pretty coral/peach shade and is perfect for summer. It is not too harsh and not too soft. It gives you that healthy color in your cheeks. $30.00 at http://www.sephora.com/marc-jacobs-beauty?node=10222316. 

- HIGHLIGHT -

   1. Watt's Up Highlighter Stick by Benefit:  I love this little highlighter stick! The glow is stunning and the stick makes it easy to apply. I blend it in with a beauty blender! $30.00 at http://www.sephora.com/benefit-cosmetics?node=1050010. 

   2. MAC Soft and Gentle Mineralize Skinfinish: This is a powder and it is amazing! It is so shimmery and picks up the light so well! It is gorgeous! $32.00 at http://www.maccosmetics.com/. 

Like please just take a look at how gorgeous it is! 

- SETTING SPRAY -

   1. De-Slick Setting Spray by Urban Decay: This is my favorite setting spray of all time! It keeps my makeup on and keeps the shine away! 10/10 would recommend, it is a must have! $14.00-$30.00 at  http://www.sephora.com/urban-decay?node=1050001. 

   2. NYX Matte Finish Setting Spray:  This comes in close second to the De-Slick setting spray. It does the job, but just does not last as long. It is more cost effective though! $8.00 at http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/setting-spray.
