My Make Up Must-Haves

{ 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 }

1. Eyeko Skinny Liquid Liner in black // This product was introduced to me through Birchbox and it's become my favorite liquid liner. It's long lasting and the tip is precise and easy to use. I highly recommend this liner to beginners, especially those looking to practice their cat-eye look!
2. MAC Mineralize Blush in dainty // Favorite blush of all time. The color is a perfect light pink: especially flattering on rosy complexions like mine. I love that it easily transitions from my pale snowy face in winter to my freckled-sunkissed skin in warmer months.
3. Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara // You know a mascara is good quality when you can wear it for the entire length of your wedding without needing a touch up. It's a little pricier than I normally spend on mascara, but worth every penny.
4. Benefit Cosmetics Brow Zings in medium // Every girl should pack one of these in her beauty arsenal. I've had my brow zings for over FIVE years and it's about half gone. The medium palette works exceptionally great for me as I am always switching my hair from blonde to brunette. When blonde, I use the powder only to define my brow. When brunette, I use both wax and powder to darken my brow as well as define.
5. L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara in carbon black // No matter how many different mascaras I have tried, Voluminous remains my true favorite. At only $6 it's the best drugstore mascara I've ever used!
6. Burt's Bees Replenishing Chapstick // Chapstick is something I simply cannot live without. In the dry, hot climate in Utah cracked lips can easily become an issue. I never have to worry about dry lips while wearing my Burt's Bees and the pomegranate oil is a refreshing change from average chapsticks.
7. MAC Studio Fix Powder - The Lord blessed me with lovely acne-free skin, so the only thing I use to cover up is my Studio Fix. It's lightweight but provides excellent coverage, and does not clog my oil-prone pores. I've been using this powder since I was fourteen and that will ever change.
8. C.O. Bigelow Mentha Organics Lip Tint in just blushed - I became obsessed with Mentha lipglosses while working at Bath&Body Works. I easily own about ten different shades. Not one who likes a ton of color on a daily basis, the just blushed color adds polish to my lips without any fuss. Plus, the minty smell always helps in a situation where you're out of gum!

While my beauty collection is quite expansive, I make sure I always have each of these eight items ready to go. It's great to have a handful of items I can take with me wherever I need to go, that can help me get ready in a moment's notice!
