Makeup Bag Spill: What I'm Currently Using

Current Makeup Bag: Audra Koch

It's been quite a while since I last dumped out my makeup bag to show you. Being a beauty blogger, I try out a ton of different products, but the daily routine usually stays more-or-less the same with the exception of a single-item swap here and there. I've finally gotten to a collection of products that I love, and work really well for me, so read on to find out what they are!

Glossier Skin Tint, Wander Beauty Flash Focus Foundation Stick
Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Exposed, Glossier Haloscope in Moonstone, Milk Makeup Bronzer in Baked

Skin

Glossier Skin Tint

Most days, I stick with this ultra-light tinted moisturizer, which really just evens out complexion and adds a little hydration! If you're a full-foundation girl, this is not for you, but I've found that since getting away from higher-coverage foundations, my skin has looked so much better!

Wander Beauty Flash Focus Foundation Stick

However, for the days when I have something special (photoshoot, night out with the girls, etc) I'll swipe on a little of this buildable-coverage foundation stick for a flawless finish! See a before/after video I did with them HERE

RMS Beauty Concealer

I've rarely seen any major zits pop up lately, but I've been using this concealer for under-eyes! It's incredibly moisturizing, so it will help relieve those tired purple circles while you wear it!

Milk Makeup Bronzer in Baked

This is so far the most natural and believable bronzer I've found for my pale skin. It's a cream formula, so I swipe it under my cheekbones and along my forehead and jawline and then blend! Never going back to powder bronzers again!!

Tarte Blush in Exposed

Tarte blushes have never ceased to be amazing, I switch up the color depending on the time of year, but this one in exposed is one of their most popular, because it looks amazing on a ton of different skin tones!

Glossier Haloscope in Moonstone

This stuff is the ultimate dewy, wet-looking highlight. A swipe across the top of your cheekbone, on the chin, cupids-bow, nose, and forehead will have you glowing all day and night!!

Tarte In Bloom Eyeshadow palette, Wander Beauty Mascara, Wander Beauty eyebrow pencil

Eyes

Wander Beauty Mascara

Very few mascaras have ever "wow-ed" me, most are just average, but I'm in love with this one from Wander! It's not too watery or too thick, It applies like a dream and hits just in the middle of giving length and volume! 

Givenchy Khol Waterproof Eyeliner

I'm not a huge heavy-eyemakeup girl, but a little tight-line with this pencil gives a natural definition to the eyes and makes lashes look a lot thicker! (tightlining= lining the inner waterline of your upper lashes)

Tarte In Bloom Palette

When I do want a little extra focus on the eyes, the shades Jetsetter (a cool brown-grey) and Smarty Pants (warm terracotta) are two of my go-tos!

Wander Beauty Brow Pencil

I could never go anywhere without filling in my brows. They frame your face and just look weird without being groomed. I use Wander Beauty's brow pencil in Taupe (which has a spoolie at the other end for combing!) and occasionally I'll swipe through a little brow gel when I want them to be more polished. 

Glossier Balm Dotcom in coconut and birthday cake, Charlotte Tilbury lipstick in Bond Girl and Very Victoria

Lips

Glossier Balm Dotcom

The king of all lip-balm / everything-balms. They come in 5 flavors, (2 un-tinted, 2 tinted, 1 sparkle) and my favorite have to be the un-tinted coconut flavor, and their newest Milk Bar Birthday Cake flavor with just a hint of shimmer! (it's like eating a cupcake every time you put it on!!) 

Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick

For a little color, I'll usually put on balm dotcom first and them swipe on Charlotte Tilbury's lipticks either in the shade Bond Girl (a deep berry-nude) or Very Victoria (a true-nude). 

 

What are your favorite makeup products that you're using right now??
