Beauty Products That Work

I love makeup. I always have. I used to spend the tiny allowance my grandfather would give me as a seven year old on lipstick!

Unfailingly, when I post a selfie on Facebook, the first thing I'm asked is what products I'm using. So here's a list of my go-to products that I cannot live without.  I'm using Amazon links because that is actually where I get most of my products, but you can order them via NYX.com or a lot of them are available at Ulta.

I promise you that every product I post here on this blog is one that I actually have sitting on my bathroom counter right now and that I use.

Face:

This product is fantastic. After using it, your skin will feel taut, toned and smooth. It's NOT a miracle cure, but I do think that while the product is on, my skin looks so much better.

NYX Honey Dew Me Up.  It's not a super expensive but it does work.



ELF Poreless Primer.  Again, as far as primers go, I feel like this definitely holds up in comparison to more expensive brands without the prohibitive cost.



Rimmel BB Cream.  I don't like heavy foundations and used to skip it altogether. Then I progressed to a tinted moisturizer, but the older I get, the more coverage I need. This is a happy medium for me. It covers and corrects (lightly) but doesn't feel heavy on my skin.



And to set everything, I use this NYX HD Powder. I love, love, love it. I cannot tell you how much. A little goes a long way, so use sparingly and blend. Blend again. Then blend some more, especially for photos as it does reflect light and can make you look like you have white streaks on your skin!
