Starting with the base, a long-lasting foundation helps you create a makeup look that will stay on throughout the day — no more cake-y makeup and no more touch ups!
The L'Oreal Infallible Fresh Wear Foundation is currently one of my favorites for this category. It provides medium to full (buildable) coverage and it stays on all day long with its lightweight, breathable texture. It is also waterproof, transfer-resistant (once it sets) and sweat resistant!
Palettes and multi-tasking face makeup usually save precious space in our makeup bags. And fortunately for us, there are many beauty products out there that we can utilize on the face and on our eyes as well. So whether you're in a tight budget or just starting out in the world of makeup, here are my current top picks for everyone:
The Detail Makeover 4-in-1 palette contains 2 contour shades, 1 bronzer, 1 highlighter and 2 blushes. Of all the face palettes I tried, this by far is my fave! The highlighter is just beaming and you can mix the other shades for contouring, bronzing or putting blush on. You can also use them as eyeshadow, it's that versatile!
The Essence Hey Cheeks palette contains 1 highlighter, 3 blushes and 2 bronzers. If you're into peachy makeup, I would definitely recommend this palette. The highlighter reminds me of the best selling Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in champagne pop and the blushes are perfect for creating dewy looks.
Lastly, the 3CE Take a Layer Multi Pot — the 3CE Take a Layer Multi Pot, as the name entails, is a multi pot that you can use on your eyes, cheeks and lips. If you're looking for a makeup that will last throughout the day, this definitely a must! This is also perfect on creating monochromatic looks.
Rather than sticking with just one lipstick that you never finish, I recommend on getting yourself lipstick sets for variety. There are plenty of options out there, and if you're someone who's currently into gloss like me, I suggest getting your hands on the Marc Jacobs lip duo.
The Marc Jacobs Lip Duo can be used for both day and night looks, interchangeably and at the same time! I carry these on my bag all the time.
