My Style: Makeup Products (Faves on Faves on Faves)

I may be adventurous when it comes to red carpet interviewing. But when it comes to my makeup, I’m about as wild as a vanilla wafer cone. I’ve never been one to experiment with makeup, especially after a friend of mine (who worked at Sephora and NARS) suggested A+++ products for me a few years ago. I’ve stuck with them ever since and swear by them. And if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, am I right?

So yeah, as you guys may realize, my makeup is pretty consistent (sometimes I’ll change up my eye shadow from a little smokey to really smokey — crazy, I know). But I usually go for a natural, shimmery look with a pop of blush.

Here’s a look at it:

I’ll break it down by what I use (when I can afford it, LOL) and in the order I use it. By the way, I’m a freak about avoiding clogging pores, so all of these products are super light which is why I’m also a huge fan.

1. Origins GinZing Energy-Boosting Gel Moisturizer (Origins High-Potency Night-A-MinsMineral-Enriched Oil-Free Renewal Cream for nighttime)
2. Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer
3. Hourglass Illusion Skin Tint, color: shell (like a tinted moisturizer, I use this instead of foundation)
4. Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder (I buy the mini from Sephora)
