Best Black Liquid Liner!
One of the biggest challenges of any makeup enthusiast is, finding the darkest eyeliner. The Ardency Inn Modster Easy Rider Supercharged Liquid Liner is everything you could want and more. It is so dark and inky but leaves the greatest matte texture. The applicator makes it super easy to create the slightest flick or the most dramatic cat eye. It lasts all day and doesn't budge. You can't beat the super cute and convenient packaging either. Highly recommend this line and product to everyone!
Best Mattes on the Market!
The Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipsticks are perfection! Everything from the formulation, colors, and packaging are spot on. The textures of the lipsticks are what set them aside from the pack. Most mattes on the market tend to be drying. Charlotte's formula is very hydrating and won't leave lips with that uncomfortable chalky feeling. My favorite shades are Bond Girl, Love Liberty, and Walk of Shame. Every color in the collection is beautiful. If you are a Charlotte enthusiast or new to her and her line, you will not be disappointed.
Gentle Brush Cleaner
Washing your brushes is an essential component to keeping them in perfect condition. I love the London Brush Company brush cleaner because it is gentle but effective. My brushes are left clean, soft, and ready to use. It is important to not only invest in your brushes but invest in their care. I make sure to wash mine on a weekly basis. This is one of the only cleansers that I have found that doesn't leave my brushes scratchy.
Perfect Fit
I love this Kevyn Aucoin Foundation Brush! I bought it years ago and still find myself reaching for it all the time. It's perfect if you are in a rush and need to put on foundation in a flash. The tapered point and dense bristles allow you to buff products in for an airbrush finish. It is made from very high quality materials. So take care of it and it will last you forever!
Super Versatile
Embryolisse is my all time favorite moisturizer. I started using the brand years ago and have never found anything better. I apply it just before my foundation and I am left with a smooth never greasy base. When you first apply it to your skin it feels thick but it instantly melts in. I find that you can use this moisturizer on just about anyone. If you are looking to create the most flawless face, you definitely need Embryolisse.
A Kit Must Have!
The beautyblender sponge is another must have for me. I love that I can use it to apply foundation, cream blush, and blend my highlight and contour. I've tried many other imitations but I keep coming back to beautyblender. The design is perfect for buffing foundation into the skin. It won't cause irritation like many abrasive brushes. I also like that it comes to a tapered point. It is the perfect size for for applying concealer to the under eye. Definitely give it a try, if you are looking for something new to add to your kit.
Best Contouring Powder!
The Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting Powder in Medium is truly the best! I've hit pan on two already and need to purchase a third. What makes this contouring product unlike any other is, its matte finish and soft taupe color. In order to create a naturally sculpted look, you need to avoid any products that contain shimmer and warmer tones. I recommend applying this product in small strokes just under your cheekbone, using a domed shaped eye brush. Using a smaller brush will ensure strategic placement and will help you to avoid applying too much at once.
