My Makeup Essentials


My favorite things! Oh and I have a LOT of favorites, but if I had to narrow it down to top 5...ok 6 makeup items that I had to have, these are it! 

  • Chanel Vitalumiere in 40- Beige: my all time favorite foundation, it's light, dewy, has buildable coverage, and is natural looking. There is also an Aqua option for lighter coverage
  • Butter London Cheeky cream blush in Ruby Murray: such a natural looking blush- comes from within almost. Buildable, long lasting, and all of their blushes are rich in color *imagine the look of flushed cheeks after sprinting a flight of stairs*
  • Christian Dior Creme De Rose lip balm: soothing, creamy, plumping, and the aroma of rose is at perfect potency (notice the perfection of this balm...I'm obsessed)
  • Kevyn Aucoin concealer pot in SX08: such a huge amount of product in these concealer pots, creamy, full coverage, and doesn't settle into fine lines (those would be my lil finger prints...a little goes a long way)
  • Motives Perfecting face primer: I attribute the compliments I get on my skin to this lil number. Holds my makeup in place ALL day, lays down a velvet veil underneath my foundation, and feels like silk
  • Shiseido eyelash curler: I can't live without it. Curls my lashes without denting them, doesn't pull or snag, and the curl is natural and lasts throughout the day
  • (shown at the top- barely) BECCA shimmering skin perfector: if you mix this with your foundation each day, you'll notice people staring at your glowy dewy angelic face (shhhh it's a secret)

Ok that was technically 6 things, but if you sent me off to a deserted island these would be the things I hoarded away at the bottom of my satchel! That and a razor ;) 

Tell me what your makeup essentials are and I'll see you back here on Wednesday to chat all things wedding season! 
Have a beautiful day beauties!

xoxo- Jess

  1. I absolutely love the Kevyn Aucoin line. Every product I've tried has been UH-MAY-ZING!!!

    My essentials are pretty basic-- just some waterproof mascara, a brow pencil and some bag balm. I've always been a simple kind of gal. I blame it on growing up on Guam. You know how the weather is on our islands-- super humid to the point where your makeup just melts off.
