I didn’t learn to use makeup until I was already working, and even then I’m sure it looked like I just threw some stuff on. I’m still learning as I go, but tutorials and demos really help! These are the products that are working for me right now.

FOUNDATION: Celeteque 24-hour Photoready Liquid Foundation in Natural

I got a tube free at the office, and I looove how lightweight it feels! We all got free samples, so now we all look smoother and fresher haha.

POWDER: Maybelline Fit Me Matte Poreless Powder in Natural Buff

This is the first face powder that I feel matches my skin tone perfectly. I’d never realized before that I had yellow undertones!

EYEBROWS: Innisfree Auto Eyebrow Pencil

I learned about eyebrow pencils like this from my friend Karen. I saw this on sale, and I gave it a try. It’s much better and easier to use than my previous eyebrow pencil, which was a hassle to sharpen. I also love the spoolie brush on the other end!

CHEEKS: Skin Genie Lip and Cheek Stain Alive in Creamy Peach

I got this as a freebie. I wasn’t sure how to use lip and cheek stain, so I had to look it up on YouTube! Once I figured out how much to use, and how to spread it, it’s become my go-to for all-day wear.

EYESHADOW: Ever Bilena eyeshadow palette in Brown

This is a simple and easy to use palette. I think I just bought it on a whim at the grocery.

EYELINER: Imagic waterproof liquid eyeliner

I’ve always been terrified of eyeliner. I tried different ones, and I always looked like I had black bruises afterwards. This was the first one that really worked for me.

MASCARA: Celeteque 24-hour Volumizer Mascara

I LOVE THIS BRUSH!!! It doesn’t clump at all, and the mascara looks like each lash is just longer and thicker.

LIPS: London Girl Long Lasting Lipstick in Pink Life Matte

Normally, I hate pink. But my friend Shey was giving this away, and I was feeling adventurous. Matched with Nivea Lip Balm in Blackberry Shine (which tastes yummy), the color just makes my lips pop!

HAIR: Dove hair spray

I actually bought this by mistake. I was supposed to buy mousse! But it actually works pretty well for me, and it hasn’t ruined my hair or given me dandruff.

Whether it’s a regular day at the office, a weekend out of town, or a glam event, these products seem to work for me.
