If you're out here pretending like you know how to do makeup, like me, this list of products will be perfect for you. I normally am a huge fan of drugstore and medium price range products and I'm definitely not a brand snob. As long as it gets the job done and I don't mess up while applying the product, I'm happy. Here are my top 11 favorite makeup products I use regularly.
1. e.l.f. Eyebrow Kit
This thing is literally only $3 and it works as well as any of the expensive products out there right now.
2. NYX Stay Matte Not Flat Foundation

I use this as more of a concealer and I carve out my brows with this product.
3. Benefit POREfessional Matte Primer
I have a love hate relationship with primer, I honestly can't tell if it's doing anything and I hate the feeling when I first put it on my face but I gotta pretend like I know what I'm doing so I'm gonna keep buying it.
4. L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation
This stuff is amazing, it keeps my face looking matte all day and it's medium to full coverage which is exactly what I need.
5. L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Powder
This powder is my fave, it makes sure I don't look all shiny and sweaty and it's perfect for touch ups.
6. Morphe 35OS and 35OM Eye Shadow Palettes
Zoe Johnson
These are my go to eye shadow palettes, hands down. The colors blend so well and are so creamy, they're all neutral-ish and the palettes themselves are pretty cheap. Sign me up!
7. Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer
I use this as contour and bronzer because I don't really know what I'm doing and it seems to get the job done! Someday I hope to be able to contour as well as Kim Kardashian.
8. Anastasia Beverly Hills Moonchild Glow Kit
This is probably one of my favorite makeup items I own. It's amazing for my pale skin tone and I got it on sale on Black Friday so I'm gonna be really sad when she runs out.
9. It Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara (Black)
I feel like all mascara really does the same thing no matter the brand but I got this one as a sample and I'm in love ugh.
10. Kiss Lashes (Shy)
This summer I told myself I was going to figure out how to put on fake eyelashes and I can now say I can kind of do it as long as I have an extra 45 minutes. Until I've got the process down, here's to hoping I have a friend nearby to help.
11. ULTA Matte Makeup Setting Spray
Ava Silverman
I'm not trying to spend a ton of money on setting spray (mostly because I can't tell if it actually helps) so I'm really glad I've found the ULTA brand setting spray.
Here's to pretending I'm good at makeup, either way, I'm going to keep buying more. I've recently had to get a second make up case to house all my products (oops). Makeup is such a fun way to express yourself and your creativity and you can literally create looks for everything. My next makeup related task is learning how to conquer liquid eyeliner, yikes.
