As soon as I watched Jaclyn Hill's Ride or Die Makeup Tag youtube video, I knew I was going to have to participate. I couldn't be more excited about sharing my all-time favorite products with everyone. Some of these were super easy to choose because they have been my ride or die for years but then some were soooo difficult because I'm like HOW CAN I JUST PICK ONE????!!
I love hearing about other people's favorite makeup products. I always want to ask people that question esp when their face looks flawless because I'm like WHICH FOUNDATION ARE YOU WEARING?? Or what lipstick shade is that?? TELL ME YOUR SECRETS!! WHAT ARE YOUR HG PRODUCTS??! I want to know and try everything!! I'm such a sucker for new products or products that other people recommend even if I don't need them. I'm also such an open book and love telling other people which products I love. I'm so passionate about these products its crazy. So I can't wait to read other beauty blogger's posts of their favorite products and this will easily be my favorite blog post to write so far. I'm going to mainly follow Jaclyn's tag but also wanted to include some other of my ride or die products just fyi!
My Ride or Die Makeup Products:
Face Primer: MUFE Step 1 Skin Equalizer Primer in Green for Redness Correction (I didn't realize how much I loved this until I tried other primers and was like what is wrong with my face today?? This primer just works well with any foundation I use and even though it really doesn't have a strong green color for correcting the redness, I use it anyways because I have rosacea on my nose. PS it lasts forever)
Foundation: Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Full Coverage Foundation (THIS WAS SOOOO HARD!!! I have about 5 foundations that I switch back n forth with throughout the year. I'll try a new one for a couple weeks then go back to an old one then be like oh let's use this new one for 2 months etc. I find that I like different foundations at different times too. I'm very inconsistent with foundations haha. But I love this foundation because it's full coverage and mattifying which is a necessity in humid FL when you have rosacea. I would say it's a little thicker/"moussier" than I want but it gets the job done. My runner up is this combo tho: Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless + L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation. I use both together to make the perfect shade for myself )
Foundation Brush: Morphe Brushes M439 - Deluxe Buffer (hands down easy...I never understood the purpose of using a brush to apply my liquid foundation until I tried it and was like WOW WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING MY ENTIRE LIFE!! I'm sure other people have felt the same :) )
Color Corrector for Under Eye Area: BECCA Cosmetics Under Eye Brightening Corrector (I have dark circles and prominent blue veins in my under eye area no matter how much sleep I get so this thick pink color corrector really helps)
Concealer: MUFE Full Cover Concealer (I don't even think this is for your under eye area but I find that it's the fullest coverage and it seriously lasts forever. I use shade Vanilla 5 for under my eyes and shade Sand 7 for pimples/redness)
Face Powder: Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Tinted Pressed Powder (I barely use face powder but if I do, I use this product)
Face Setting Powder: Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder (easy)
Blush: NARS Orgasm (I totally forgot that theres other blushes out there to try because I've been in love with this one from day one. I wear it with any makeup look and any outfit and it always delivers)
Bronzer: NARS Laguna (the mini duo of this bronzer and orgasm blush is seriously perfect for me and somehow I haven't hit pan yet even tho I've used it daily for 2-3 years now)
Highlight: BECCA Cosmetics x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop (duh)
Mascara: E.L.F. Cosmetics Mineral Infused Mascara ($3 at Target!! This was the easiest one for me to choose. I've loved this mascara for probably 10 years now and always get compliments on my lashes and I swear its due to this brush and formula! I've never found an expensive mascara that I like more)
Eyeliner: MAC Eye Kohl in Costa Riche (the warmest brown eyeliner I've ever found...this is a MUST for blue or green eyes)
Eyeshadow (matte): MAC Saddle (a warm matte brown/gold shade...another must for blue or green eyes)
Eyeshadow (shimmer): NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Isolde (this is amazing)
Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo in Taupe with the ABH Mini Duo Angled/Spooley 7 (these products changed my life)
Lashes: I actually have never worn fake lashes so don't have a brand preference or recommendation! I'm honestly scared the glue will rip out my own lashes when removing them. I know that's ridiculous but I'm just weird haha. I want to try them soon though!
Lipstick (daytime): Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Pepper (dusty rose) (read my blog post about this here)
Lipstick (nighttime): MAC Amorous (read my blog post about this here)
Lipgloss: NARS Larger Than Life Lipgloss in Penny Arcade (love this berry lipgloss)
Liquid Lipstick: Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Patina (I don't wear this often but it's my fave liquid lipstick. I don't wear liquid lipsticks that much at all actually. Most are too drying for me but this one I can kind of handle haha)
Lip Treatment: Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask (HANDS DOWN!! If you haven't tried this yet and want a thick, moisturizing, great smelling, EFFECTIVE lip treatment this is your new best friend! Seriously it's amazing.
Perfume: Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb (easy choice...I actually use the rollerball more than the spray, it lasts forever and is only $29!!)
