Aside from looking at porno, a chunk of my time online is spent either looking at retail or reading beauty blogs. This is not a beauty blog of course and I'm no expert but I've had a love affair with makeup since my I was little playing with my grandma's makeup. Along the way I've accrued a long list of favorites that are tested true to their capabilities.
Since I'm bored right now I thought I'd list my favorites.
1. Liquid eyeliner: Revlon Colorstay is practically the same if not better than Mac's. I used to use the Mac liquid eyeliner and it would make my eyes sting like crazy. Just remember to throw it away once the felt tip begins to get soft and fiber-y.
2. Pencil eyeliner: Stila Kajal is very easy on your lids. It is very soft and easily smudged so what I do is I line my waterline with it then set it with a black eyeshadow to prevent racoon eyes later. Good drug store eyeliners from Rimmel, Revlon Colorstay, Almay but I find that Stila has the most longevity. It's worth the $18 price.
3. Eyeshadow Primer: Urban Decay Primer Potion will take your makeup to another level.
4. Foundation: Bare Escentuals. This is a no brainer, I've been using the stuff for three years now. Just remember that it does have an expiration date so don't push it because you will break it. WILL.
5. Concealer: Benefit's Erase Paste does a beautiful job of covering my undereye shadows. I'm looking to try Benefit's Boing next because I heard that it's even better but this does the job for me.
6. Mascara: Lancome knows their stuff. Good drug store finds are the Maybeline XXL line. I love the waterproof formula because it holds lash curl very well.
7. Eyeshadow: I have a long list of favorites but Milani makes GREAT pigmented eyeshadows from only $6 each. You could find Milani at Target. My favorite shade from Milani Beach Sand, it looks like just Mac's Honey Lust. It's a good neutral, everyday shimmer. Just make sure that you apply it WET for best pigmented results.
8. Skin regiment: Acne Free. I have acne prone skin and Acne Free saved my skin. I've been using it for four years now. It's pretty much a generic and less harsh version of Proactive. You can find this at Walmart from $20.
----------------------------------
I know I only listed a couple of things from a hundred things that I do use but my objective was to list the basics (i.e. eyeliner, eyeshadow, face makeup, etc). Also, I am still learning about different types of products. I'm still in the market for my perfect bronzer, and blush for example. There are so many things out there and I only hope that sharing my loves could help someone out there the same way
