5 must have makeup products
Let's chat about my go-to makeup products for an easy, dewy face. These 5 products will help keep your AM routine short + skin looking delicious.
Most of y'all know I make about an 80/20 effort to keep what I put on my skin clean. "Cheap products are made cheap - unnecessary fillers, metal contamination, inhuman working conditions comes from cheap labor (child labor) + toxic ingredients... the list goes on. Ever asked yourself why something is so cheap instead of questioning why something is so "expensive"?
If you haven't made a clean makeup swap, the switch doesn't need to be overwhelming. TIP: Pick 1-3 products a month to swap out for better beauty. Almost out of your drug store mascara? Buy a clean option and replace it when it's gone.
Let's dig in.
1. Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer
This is a product I will NOT go without. This is 20 spf, lightweight, sheer, dewy coverage in a tube. It keeps your face protected while keeping it bright and hydrated. I use 2 pumps onto and apply it with my fingers. If you are looking for a stronger coverage, consider checking out the Skin Twin Foundation - great skin benefits and buildable coverage. Out of any recommendations I give, this is the one I'm BEGGING you to try. Life changing.
I've been using this for almost a year now and it 1000% lives up to the hype! This is a great option to throw under your eyes if you're not looking for a full coverage look kinda day. For all you Tarte fans this little guy performs just as well as the shape Tarte girls. Major upgrade with thicker, better coverage. This concealer is made of knotgrass extract which is known to reduce appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and boost skin radiance. It is specifically coated, fatty acid-rich avocado butter, true to color that literally melts into your skin with a silky, rich feel and coverage.
3. Brow Gel
Get tired of your brows looking like they are from different family trees? This brow gel has made shaping/filling my eyebrows in 10x easier. It's truly a great way for effortless brows. The formula is magic keeping your brows fluffy + shaped all day. Comes in clear or a couple different tinted options. Just a couple swipes on your brows and they are set for the day.
Meet your new favorite mascara! This product relaunch made my jaw literally dropped after my first application. This is Beautycounter's newest formula of their mascara, and it truly exceeded my expectations! Its formula is made for no flaking, applying multiple coats without clumping, weightless wear + lengthening, lifting + volumizing. 12/10 recommend getting your hands on this product ASAP.
I am 99% sure I have at least one of these in each purse + coat pocket so I never have to be without. Not joking. These guys have no fragrance, parabens or lead that is found in most traditional lip products. Which means it's safer for you and your younger ones. The jelly's give you all the Lancome juicy tube vibes but comes in yummy flavors, high shine, no stick + hydration.
Makeup was the last thing I swapped out when I switched to clean. I wasn't ready to give up on Sephora name brand highlighters, concealer or brow gel. I started adding 1-2 new products a month and I quickly realized that the Beautycounter products were even better than the Tarte concealer. Just cleaner. There is a 60 day open-box policy. Free returns. If you are not happy or got the wrong shade, send it back. It's risk free, bebe.
