Top Ten Favorites - Makeup Products

[Anonymous]

1. E.L.F. Poreless Primer

Pros: goes on for a clean finish, lasting
Cons: doesn't really do what it says in terms of minimizing pores -- but at only $6 USD you get what you pay for.

2. Maybelline FitMe liquid foundation

Pros: smooth application; isn't cakey or drying; so many different shades to choose from making this the best drugstore foundation; can be applied using a brush, a sponge or your fingers.
Cons: matte isn't as oil absorbing, dewey isn't as.. well, dewey.

3. Anastasia Beverly Hills contour palette

Pros: with the right brushes, this contour palette will go on as sharp and defined as it claims. What's more is the swatches are removable so you can purchase more from their online store as needed.
Cons: none so far

4. Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette

Pros: universally beautiful shades with just the right pigmentation for nearly every eyeshadow look. Berry colors are neutral shades that, when combined, can create the greatest impact.
Cons: none I can think of

5. Anastasia Beverly Hills DipBrow pomade

Pros: shades that blend perfectly into the natural color of your brow; very long lasting; smudge free; can double for an eyeliner (which is what I've chosen to do instead)
Cons: use too much of the pomade and you'll end up looking like you had a fight with a Sharpie; however, there are other brow products from Anastasia Beverly Hills to choose from.

6. Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara

Pros: only two applications necessary to create long lashes; incredibly long lasting
Cons: remember to comb through lashes or else they'll clump together

7. Huda Beauty lashes

Pros: soft and fluffy!; blends with your natural lashes to create an effortlessly dramatic look; the most beautiful lashes in the universe
Cons: they're only good for 1 use or, if you're careful enough, can last up to 2-5 uses; they're very fragile so you have to be very gentle while cleaning them

8. MAC Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo

Pros: long lasting; matte finish but not drying; dreamy red color that's reminiscent of vintage glamor girls
Cons: prepping and priming your lips is essential to create the best matte look -- or else the skin on your lips will flake and peel

9. Anastasia Beverly Hills Aurora Glow Kit

Pros: gorgeous shimmery colors to create the PERFECT highlight look; seriously, even the packaging is gorgeous to look at
Cons: none I can think of. I'd initially wanted to get the Moonchild Glow Kit but settled on this one through Ulta. Moonchild, I've read, has much brighter highlighters but this one is no less better.

10. Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray

Pros: lasts throughout the day to maintain your makeup look; not sticky or thick; pleasant smell
Cons: isn't as strong as I'd hoped it'd be, though it does keep your makeup going strong for at least a few hours

Elf primer is AMAZING. It makes my skin feel unreal.
I used to love FitMe but I recently switched to something with more coverage. I still buy it and have on hand for minimal make up days because it needs next to no blening. It actually looks like your real skin, but better. It's like a cross between a foundation and a bb cream.
I ADORE Anastasia products.
Huda Beauty lashes are amazing.
I've been dyibg to get the better than sex mascara. You might have just convinced me to splurge.
I picked up the manga doll mascara from loreal last week. It's actually pretty impressive but a bit messy. It can get clumpy too but it doesn't flake!

I've been wanting to try another foundation just for the hell of it. One thing I like about FitMe is that it's buildable. I wanted to try that mascara from L'Oreal!

I tried the elf primer and i broke out so much:( I like out it felt on my face but I couldn't keep using it. I also use to wear fit me but I don't know why I stopped using it lol I now use makeup forever born this way and urban decay all nighter

It's worked even under extreme situations

(ugh I accidentally submitted my comment before finishing)
It's worked even under extreme situations like when I'd wear it to work. It holds up pretty damn good for as long as it lasts.
