I was recently a bridesmaid in my good friend's wedding. One of the funnest parts was getting ready together and comparing what make-up used. I got some great ideas of new products to try. Here are 5 of my favorite make-up discoveries.
1. Nars Pure Matte Lipstick: This lipstick stays on all day long without being excessively dry. The colors are vibrant and range from classic to on trend. My favorites are (in order): Carthage, Mascate, Volga, and Vesuvio.
2. Maybelline Baby Lips: Very creepy name, very cool product. These chapstick-like lipsticks have been getting tons of buzz in fashion and beauty magazines. They are like adult Lipsmackers....conditioning vaseline with a subtle pop of flavor and color. A quick and easy $5 pick-me-up.
3. Chanel Poudre Universelle Libre: This loose powder finishes any look. It is also a great eyeshadow base. Plus, it is a beautiful addition to any bathroom counter. I wear number 30, naturale.
4. Lancome mascara: Hands-down the best mascara I have found. I like Hypnose Star and Definicils. Both seem to lengthen and separate my eyelashes better than anything else I have tried. The only downside is they seem to dry out quickly. I keep the brushes and use them with less expensive mascaras.
5. Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat and NARS Smudge Proof eyeshadow base: it is claimed that Touche Eclat is the world's #1 selling beauty product and I believe it. It is a highlighter pen which can also be used as a concealer. I like using it under my eyebrows after I put on my shadow. The NARS eyeshadow base is a new favorite. It really seems to keep my eyeshadow in place.
Make-up can be such an escapist part of the day. What's your favorite beauty find?
