1+2) sigma f80 and f35 :
- To be honest , I don't know how I did my makeup before this two brushes .
m so obsessed with them !!! To create a flawless base you need just this 2 .
F80 kabuki brush — I love it for applying my foundation , blending concealer , cream countor\bronzer\highlight . Basically any cream product you need to blend you can use this brush!
F35 tapered highlighter - Don't be fooled by the name ! This brush is perfect for : under eye powder , powder contour\highlight\bronzer . Basically any face powder you want to use.
The combo of the f 80 and the f 35 is everything !
Use the f 80 for creams and the f 35 to set them . It will make to longevity of the makeup and prevent it from creasing fast.
3) Rimmel stay matte powder - Oh my god , you guys ! I cant tell you how much I'm obsessed with this powder ! It does every single thing I want a powder to do ! Its cheap , It keeps you matte for so long and it doesn't caked on me at all ! Such a bargain !
4) Givenchy - “acti'mine-base de tint \ make-up base (in the green color)-
It took me so long to love this product . I bought like 2 years ago maybe and I never used it . Lately (5-6 months) I cant pass a day without using it . What this basically does: the blue color contracts any redness you might have . Even though it does a lovely job it's not going to fully cover redness like around any blemishes you might have so what I do is I start with thats and let it soaked in for a few minuted and going in with a little bit of foundation to even out my skin tone and than if I see I need to cover more reddened ill go with concealer and set it with powder.
I really like this product !
5) Benefit "whats up" - This is the first ever highlighter I have ever bought and until today it doesn't let me down . Its just so perfect as an every day highlighter and if you want you can make it super intense . I apply it at 9 AM and it still on at 9 PM its just incredible .
6) Mac fix+ - Probably you heard about it all over the internet . I have oily skin and I love the dewy look but I always scared ill just look more oily and trust me it aint pretty …
But this thing just gives the most natural , beautiful dewy finish without making me look like I just poured a bottle of oil on my face .Im very generous about it , I apply it like crazy (3 bottles in less than a year) and even though I do that I never go overboard . I cant live without it.
7) Mac prep+prime pen in "light boost" - Have you always wanted that Kim Kardashian highlight?! Now you can have it ! This pen is just beautiful , It comes in few shades for different skin tones. Im very fair so I use the shade "light boost" white is a nice yellow tones shade .
How to apply : Like you would use a concealer in a triangle shape . If you have really bad dark circles under your eyes I wouldn't use just that. Ill take the normal concealer that you use blend it out and add that on top of just because the coverage of it is very very light .
To blend : use any sponge you in dabbing motion . DON'T DRAGG !
And than set with matching colored powder and your good to go .
8)Kat von d - SHADE & LIGHT palette - This palette was love at first sight . It's my latest purchase and I think it was my best one EVER ! I use every single color in the palette like crazy! All of the "shade" color are cool toned so they are perfect to contour ( even the bronzer is more on the cool side , which I love ) and all of the "light" colors are perfect for setting concealer\foundation . I love to use the banana shade over the Mac prep+prime pen .
9) Maybelline brow drama - Dark blond-
I was so lucky to have big full eyebrows , But it has its pros and its cons …
Pros : I almost never need to fill them with powder\pencil
Cons: nothing can keep them in place …
The only thing that does id that brow gel from Maybelline . First of all the wand is so big that it just perfect for the size of my eyebrows and the formula is great . There are a lot of similar products out their but I found this one the best for me.
10) YSL - baby doll mascara - Some people say that you don't really need to invest in macasra and that they all the same. Well i disagree with that . If i need compare this mascara to any maybelline mascara ill choose this any day of the week . Firstly the formula is NOT waterproof but it is very . Another thing is that it separate my lashes so well and does not leave them with any clumps one so ever ! It's lengthening so nicely and I'm just so insanely in love with it . I like it more than the "Benefit - they real" because even though the result are amazing its just to messy to deal with during the application and by the end of the day when you try to take it of .
