“The most beautiful makeup of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy.” -Yves Saint Laurent

If you’re a makeup junkie like me, you probably have a few must-have, die-hard products. Here are a few of my most reached for products:

1. MAC Lipstick in Whirl

This is the lipstick Kylie Jenner wears all the time, and that may or may not have been my motivation to buy it. But, it's honestly one of my favorite products now. It’s a pretty dark mauve with a matte finish. It can be a little dry on your lips if you don’t use chapstick before putting it on. Other than that, 10/10 recommend.

2. MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle

Yes, yes, yes. Everything about this product is a yes. I like to use it to highlight my cheekbones, run down the bridge of my nose, and on my cupid’s bow. I can’t say enough good things about this product. It gives such a pretty, golden glow that highlights the high points on your face. I would definitely recommend it for any event where you’ll be taking pictures.

3. Two-Faced Bronzer in Chocolate Soleil

OK, first of all, it smells like chocolate. I repeat, it smells like freaking chocolate. Plus, it makes your face look naturally bronze and beautiful. If you’re into contouring, it's perfect for that, too, because it’s a matte finish and goes on really smoothly.

4. Tarte Lights Camera Splashes Mascara

I have always struggled with my mascara smudging throughout the day. I have tried countless brands of waterproof mascaras that would melt off throughout the day, but somehow manage to still be impossible to take off at night. I can honestly say this mascara changed the game. It doesn’t smudge or run, but I don’t have to rub my eyelids off trying to get it off. It lengthens and creates volume at the same time, and it’s just all around perfect.

5. Vaseline Lip Therapy

This is a pretty basic thing, but chapstick is kind of essential in my book. This kind is super thick and moisturizing, but it doesn’t feel gross either. And it comes in a little tub, which is super cute. You can get it with a red tint, cocoa butter or in the original transparent color.
