My Go-to Makeup Staples

I love wearing makeup and wear it almost every day of the week (I always make a point to go makeup free one day a week!). I use the same staples every day because I've found some products I really love, and find they can be used to create both casual and fancy looks. What are your staples? Let me know in the comments!

Eyes

Urban Decay Born to Run Palette, $49 at Sephora

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero, $21 at Sephora

I love Urban Decay's eye products. I love all their Naked palettes but have been using the Born to Run eye shadow palette lately because of the range of shades and textures. I find the shadows to be extremely durable and blendable. Any shimmery shades stay on your eyelids and doesn't run down the rest of your face like many other eye shadows I've used. 

I also love Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero (black). It goes on super creamy, is easy to blend and is truly long lasting. I refuse to wear any other eye liner!

I don't use mascara because of my fab eyelash extensions, thanks to CRK Beauty. I swear by them, but more on that to come later.

Face

Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation, $43 at Sephora

Make Up For Ever Full Cover Concealer, $34 at Sephora

I love Make Up For Ever products for my face. I use their Ultra HD Foundation in Y325, which matches my self-tan perfectly, and the Full Cover Concealer in Vanilla 5. I apply both products with my fingers to make sure i'm filling in all crevices and covering all blemishes. I use the concealer first on my under eyes, bridge of my nose, middle of my forehead, top of my lip and middle of my chin and then blend the foundation over it. I find that it lasts on my skin all day but doesn't cause breakouts, which is really important to me since I wear heavy makeup 3-4 times a week. My go-to skincare lady has even recommended them to me as the best products to use for your skin! 

Lips

Bite Beauty Matte Creme Lip Crayon, $24 at Sephora

I am obsessed with Bite Beauty's Matte Creme Lip Crayon in Glace and wear it almost every day. It stays on perfectly for hours, and also plumps and moisturizes my lips. Sometimes when I wear it, people ask if I've gotten my lips done because it does such a great job at making them full :D It doesn't crack or flake like other matte lip products I've used, and matches my skin as a bold neutral color. I couldn't recommend this more.
