What’s In My Makeup Bag
It Cosmetics CC Cream- When Jennings was first diagnosed and hospitalized and I was pregnant with the twins, I don’t remember what foundation I was using. Laura Mercier I think. Then Emily Maynard Johnson, whom some of you may know from The Bachelorette, brought me a full bag of premium cosmetics. It was SUCH an amazing gift because I had no time to go out and pamper myself and she picked so many amazing things for me. She knows makeup and skincare! This was the foundation she gave me and I have been using since then- going on 4 years. It has excellent coverage, SPF and a little goes a LONG way. It’s absolutely an everyday staple in my makeup bag. Especially for the days I have breakouts. I love the coverage it gives me and the confidence I have when I wear it! I’m wearing shade FAIR (the lighest shade, haha!)
Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder Compact- This setting powder is so beautiful, and I dust a little all over after I have on my CC Cream or Tinted Moisturizer. This, combined with the NARS blush is what a think gives my cheeks that highlighted glow. I’m wearing shade 01.
YSL Nu Tinted Moisturizer- On good skin days and on days when I just want a very light coverage, I love this product. If you’re not a foundation girl, but want something on your skin- this feels so light and has good coverage for how light it is! Many days I choose this with a little power and bronzer! A great product for Spring and warmer weather ahead too….I’m wearing Shade Nu 2
Kevin Aucoin Bronzer- Lindsey Regan Thorne recommended this product to replace a very old favorite of mine that is now discontinued. I used to love Sweetie Pie by Too Faced which was a mixed Blush/Bronzer/Highlighter. Since they don’t make that anymore, I switched to this at LRT’s recommendation and LOVE IT. It’s beautiful on and I always wear it when I wear makeup since I am natrually quite fair skinned. I brush this all over and use the NARS blush listed below for the extra glow on my cheeks.
Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen- This is hands down the best face sunscreen I have ever tried. Because I am prone to breakouts I am so picky about what I put on my face. This stuff feels SO good and is SO light and effective. Also works great as a primer before makeup. Every aesthetician recommends wearing sunscreen DAILY to slow the signs of aging! This is a great one to have in your bag!
It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye- I don’t see this product recommended by influencers a lot and I’m not sure why. It’s works really well for me! I feel like I look so much more awake once I’ve dabbed this on my dark circles! I’m wearing shade Light Fair
Benefit Cosmetics Brow Zings- It’s allllll about the brows people! I have been using this product for an embarassing amount of time. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it! It has everything you need to define your brows for a natural look and can be customized based on the season/your hair color. i.e. sometimes I go darker when my hair is darker and I haven’t highlighted in awhile! Big fan and going to keep using. I don’t love pencils. I much prefer this slanted eyebrow brush for a very natural look! I use the Light-Medium Pallete
Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash- This one is still my favorite! I got eyelash extensions last year and I love them. It’s hard for me to keep up with the appointments so when I can’t get the extensions, I love this mascara. (it is what I have on in this picture! And like I said, I have pretty wimpy lashes) You probably have more than me and this one of the best mascaras I’ve tried!
Mac Matte Lipstick in Mehr- Heather McMahan inspired me to get this color. It looked so beautiful on her and I love it too! It’s just a beautiful, deep pink color that I love to wear when I get all fancied up! We all need that tube of lipstick in our bags. This is my “going out” or “going on camera” kind of color.
Charlotte Tillbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner- this is the most beautiful, natural color and glides on so beautifully. I love to line my lips and then put on a pretty gloss and voila! Ready to go. In the photo above, that’s exactly what I did with the Tarte Lip Quench product listed below.
NARS Blush in Orgasm- just another staple I’ve been using for YEARS. I don’t change it up and I’m not trying to sell you the latest and greatest. This is the most beautiful blush on the market and looks amazing on fair to medium skin tone.
Tarte Sea Quench Lip Rescue Balm- pictured above, I am wearing the color “Rose” with the Charlotte Tilbury lip liner. I love this easy, hydrating balm. It cares for your lips while giving beautiful color. I use the Rose and the Berry color allllll the time.
