Current Makeup Go-To's
Happy Friday everyone! Welcome back! Today's post is all about some makeup favorites I've been using non-stop. These are basically my everyday essentials, and my go to's for every time I put on makeup. Most of these are either recommendations from my sister, (put your hands up for @hannahriley_makeup on instagram, *aw yeah) Christmas gifts, samples from curiosity while shopping, or special finds, that I've repurchased over time.
I've used these over and over, so they're definitely favorites of mine, and I find they work really well for my skin type. My skin naturally has a little redness, is a little dry, and I have deeper set eyes. I also have freckles. Lots of them. So if that sounds like you, you might want to give these products a go. They work rather well for me.
First up:
Let's talk about the tartelette 'in bloom' clay palette.
Gaaaaawwwwwsh this thing is heaven. I've been looking for a good palette that had a variety of colors, and has matte and shimmer shades. This pallette exceeds all expectations. It's creamy, it's smooth, blendable, and it's quite easy to build a dramatic look. But I use it for everyday use as well. Everybody could use this palette. It's incredibly versatile- it's my #1 recommendation.
Look at that beauty..
Next,
Are the Bobbi Brown Art Stick, and lipstick. These are relatively newer purchases. I bought them at PHAME earlier this month in Pasadena. I must say I have a big love for bobbi brown, and these colors are almost perfect. I would prefer the lip color be a little more on the pinky side, but it's still a beautiful nude. These are really natural colors, and can be used for everyday looks, or to keep a dramatic look classy.

Lorac is another brand I've been crushing on. I picked up this Color Source Buildable blush, in 'Matte Pink' and a sample version of this mascara, and I love them both. The blush was a perfect fit, and the mascara is the Pro-Fiber formula, and the brush is perfect for thickening. It's not too sticky, or clumpy, and it does the job for what I need. For some reason, I am suuuuper picky when it comes to mascaras. But as of now, this one is fantastic!! (I will probably end up buying a full size version) if you have a favorite mascara, let me know below in the comments! I'm always looking to try new ones!
Moving on,
I've been really reeeaalllyyy loving the Anastasia brow pot, and L'Oréal Infallible Pro-Glow 24 hour foundation, and actually, the Avon true color, be blushed.
Anastasia brow pot is in the shade 'ebony' Foundation is 202, and the blush in the fair to light section, in 'Powder Pink.' This foundation gives a pretty great coverage. Speaking of Avon, most of the time, I use My Avon BB cream, in the shade fair for foundation. And gosh, I've been using that for about four years. That one is perfect for summer, winter, and you can build it, or keep it sheer. I'll link it below, if you want to check that one out too, It's been the best for my skin type, and I use it (almost) every time.
The L'Oréal foundation was a match from my sister, (gosh, she just knows) it's a great product for an drug store buy, if you're looking for a little more quality at a lower cost. The brow pot was a sample I tried from a while ago, and I used it everyday until it was gone! I bought a full size version soon after. The Avon be blushed cheek stick was picked up before I bought the Lorac one, but I still like it! It's creamy, and applies easily. The shade is also very pretty. I find myself reaching for that often.
These are simply my current go-to's, and I'm sure some of them will change in the next few months. If you're looking for some new products to try, I'd recommend all of these.
I have a feeling I'll be using that tarte palette for quite some time. What am I going to do when it's time for an upgrade, and they don't carry it anymore??
Have any current makeup favorites?
Products that you swear by, or are your top picks?
I'd love to hear!!
Have a great weekend dears.
