These are my must-have makeup items that I use basically every single day. They’re items that I’ve consistently repurchased and will be using for years.
My must-have makeup items
I’m a bit of a tried and true makeup person – I tend to stick to my favorite brands and favorites for years!
Here are my Must-Have Makeup Products
1. Wonderskin eyeliner. I bought this a few months ago after my mom asked for a long lasting eyeliner recommendation. She bought one and I bought one and we’ve both been raving about it for the last few months! It’s a very soft pencil, and is flexible when it goes on, but then it sets and stays in place all day! I’m so impressed. It comes off easily with soap and water at the end of the day. I have it in the black color, but it comes in tons of other color options if you want something more subtle.
2. Wunderbrow Eyebrow Gel. This has truly been my holy grail makeup item for the last 8 years! I bought it when we were going to Hawaii years ago and I wanted something that was waterproof for swimming and hanging at the beach. My eyebrows are very sparse, so I always fill them in, and this truly stays on all day long. Again, it comes off with soap and water, but it stays on great throughout the day. I recommend applying before any other makeup cause it stays much better when you don’t have oils or makeup already on your skin. I wear the color brunette.
3. The Minimalist from Merit Beauty. If you haven’t tried Merit Beauty, I highly, highly recommend this brand. They make really beautiful, high quality, clean makeup, and the Minimalist is my favorite. It’s a foundation or a concealer, depending on how much you apply, and it gives you the most beautiful, creamy coverage. Once you use it, you’ll understand how amazing it is. I use the color Bisque for most of my face, and then Cream for under my eyes.
4. Clear Setting Powder. I found out about this from my friend, Leanne, a year or so ago, and it is the best makeup setting powder. It keeps your makeup on ALL DAY LONG, even in the midwest humidity. I usually do two light layers, one after my sunscreen, and then another at the end of my makeup. It’s a pretty good sized bottle and it will last you for ages.
