If you're anything like me, your days probably revolve around watching makeup tutorials and trying out new looks. In the past year alone, I've spent more money than I'd ever want to know on different products, but I always seem to have a constant few items that I just can't seem to get enough of. So I bring to you my top 11 Holy Grail products, the best of the best according to me.
1. NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation
Not only is this my everyday foundation, but I swear it has some magical juju in it that makes my skin look so glowy and beautiful, but still like my skin. I would recommend this to everyone that I know, especially because of the wide variety of shades that it comes in.
2. Maybeline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment
This concealer is hands down the best that I have ever used, and the low price makes it that much better. It completely erases the dark circles under my eyes and covers any blemishes that I may have.
3. RCMA Makeup No Color Powder
10/10, would recommend. I will never ever ever use another powder to set my face again! It is truly translucent and just makes your makeup look flawless. Plus it makes baking so easy!
4. NYX Cosmetics Matte Bronzer
Whenever I want that sun-kissed glow, I reach for this bronzer. It doesn't make me look orange at all like some bronzers and it is super affordable. Double win.
5. Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso
I always need blush on to feel complete, even if you can't really tell. And when I tell you that I always use this blush, I mean always. The color is absolutely gorgeous and lasts all day. This is definitely a staple in my makeup bag.
6. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
When I first heard about this mascara, I thought that there was no way that I'd ever spend $23 on one tube. But, when I finally caved and dished out the money, I was truly amazed. My lashes have never looked so black, and so thick and long. It is so worth the money.
7. Morphe 35O - 35 Color Nature Glow Eyeshadow Palette
This palette took FOREVER for me to get my hands on it, but once I finally did I could see what all the hype was about. Every color is so pigmented and creamy, not powdery at all like some eyeshadows. And I'm all about the neutrals, so this palette is right up my alley.
8. Koko Lashes in Queen B
Although not a completely necessary makeup item, I always feel like false lashes make a makeup look 100 times better. These ones in particular are my favorite. They are super long and thick and glamorous, but gorgeous nonetheless. They add the perfect amount of drama to any look.
9. theBalm Cosmetics Mary-Lou Manizer
I never believed that highlighting would make that much of a difference, but this product alone changed my entire makeup routine. It adds the perfect amount of glow, without the unnatural glitters that some highlighters have. And it can also double as an eyeshadow!
10. Kylie Cosmetics Dolce K Lip Kit
Now I have to admit that I was against purchasing any lip kit by the infamous Kylie Jenner, but eventually I gave in and I couldn't be happier that I did. Although Candy K is absolutely beautiful, I tend to reach for the more brownish Dolce K. The liner is so creamy and smooth, and the lipstick itself is beautiful and not drying whatsoever.
11. Urban Decay De-Slick Oil-Control Makeup Setting Spray
For me, setting your face with a makeup setting spray is by far the most important step of a makeup routine. It makes your makeup literally last all day, and makes even the most powdery of looks look like your skin. This is an everyday, must-have product.
The products are usually what I reach for everyday, and I hope that they work for you as much as they do for me!
