Ride Or Die Makeup

I’ve gotten a few requests to do Jaclyn Hill’s Ride Or Die Makeup Tag.  I looked it up, and basically you just name your favorite product from each category of makeup. This was VERY HARD, because there are so many things that I love, but here is what I came up with!  

Primer – Benefit Porefessional – this is a silicone based primer that I have been using for YEARS when I want to blur my pores for a flawless look.  This helps my foundation go on smoothly and really makes it last.  I only use primer for special occasions since I don’t have oily skin, and I don’t usually have a problem with my makeup lasting.

Foundation – Loreal  Infallible Pro Glow/ Bare Minerals Original – I’ve been using this foundation pretty much since it came out, and I love it.  It’s lightweight, the color matches me perfectly, and I love the glow finish it gives.  I had to also mention Bare Minerals, because when I think ride or die, I think of that.  That is my in-a hurry-but still want to look put together foundation.  Just tap your brush in there, swirl onto your face and done.  Love it.

Concealer – NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer – I have pretty bad undereye circles, and this is one of the only concealers that actually covers them.  It’s not thick, and it doesn’t crease.

Face Powder – Too Faced Primed and Poreless – this powder really blurs the look of pores and makes my face look airbrushed.  My skin looks so good when I wear this. Also, the packaging!

Under Eye Setting Powder – Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder – I use this powder underneath my eyes everyday to set that NARS concealer.  It really keeps it from not creasing, and it stays under there ALL DAY.

Blush – Benefit Hervana – this baby pink blush is everything to me.  I’ve hit major pan, and it’s because I use this everyday.  I have to constantly remind myself to use other blushes.  I always go back to this one.  Gives a perfect natural pink flush with a little bit of sheen.  Gorgeous.

Bronzer – Benefit Hoola – it’s really hard to find a bronzer that is light enough for my fair skin and not orange.  This one fits the bill.  It’s matte, so I can use it to contour or just subtly bronze my whole face.  It’s buildable and it blends out nicely.

Highlight – Laura Geller Gilded Honey – this highlighter is beautiful.  It’s a caramel-y gold color with the prettiest sheen.  No chunky glitter, just sheen.  Looks so good on the tops of the cheekbones , and even better if you wet your brush a bit.

Mascara – Maybelline Lash Sensational – Maybelline makes the best mascaras in my opinion.  I love The Rocket Volum Express, but I think I love this one just a teeny bit more.  It reminds me a lot of the Benefit Rollerlash (except a lot cheaper)!  It keeps my lashes curled, gives volume and a ton of length.

Lipstick – MAC See Sheer – this is the very first MAC lipstick shade that I bought, and I love it.  It is the perfect coral red-but sheer, moisturizing, and flattering for my skintone.  Love it.

Liquid Lip – Colourpop Clueless – this is a mauve-rose color that is a really nice MLBB shade.  This liquid lipstick stays put all day, and I feels so light on the lips.

Gloss – Dior Lip Maximizer – this gloss subtly plumps lips while being non-sticky.  It smells good and has pretty good lasting power for a gloss.

Lashes – Red Cherry #213 Harley – these are natural (but better) lashes.  Most lashes are just too darn long on me, but these are perfect.  They are full, but aren’t too fakey looking.

Eyeshadow Palette– Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons – this was a tough one, but I just picked the one I always reach for- and its this one!  Who could resist heart shaped shadows?

Setting Spray – Urban Decay Chill –  I love the cooling finish this spray gives, and it feels nice and hydrating on my skin too.

Perfume– Elizabeth and James Nirvana White EDP – I love the floral but musky scent of this perfume.  It is light and perfect for any occasion.

So, those are my ride or die products.  I can’t live without these!

I tag YOU to do this on your blog!
