Make-Up Best Buys

A few of my drug store favorites...

• Hard Candy Primer can be found at WalMart. I was using the Benefit Porefessional until a girlfriend recommended this - shockingly, I prefer the $6 primer over the $32 primer! I have oily skin so I use the basic one but my friend uses the illuminating and she's always getting compliments on her glow!
• Revlon's Color Stay Foundation can be found in most places. If you are a new reader, you'll find that I've tried many foundations and I always go back to this one. {with exception of Kat Von D's new foundation which is in a previous post}
• Maybelline's Falsies is just plain awesome. You'll see what it does to my lashes in the photos below. The key, however, is applying it correctly. Many girls don't apply their mascara in a way that makes their lashes look thicker.
• Maybelline Age Rewind is for under the eyes. I use the illuminating and I use it in all of the places on my face that I want to be illuminated since I try to do some contouring. It's just a good brightener to make you look more awake and to make your eyes bigger.
• E.L.F. Eyebrow Wax/Powder is.the.bomb. I realize that most women don't consider this an essential... but you should re-think it! Just an FYI - a good eyebrow lesson will rock your world. The Benefit Brow Bar gave me lessons and re-shaped mine. It's something that, as cheesy as it sounds, changed my life {and my look}.Your eyebrows anchor your face - so give them some attention, since that's kind of important.

Of course, the most important thing you can do to your skin is take care of it and prevent wrinkles/scars/etc. I swear by NeriumAD.
