1.Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation: Behold the holy grail of foundations! Armani Beauty's Luminous Silk Foundation effortlessly glides onto the skin, leaving a flawless and radiant finish. With its lightweight formula and buildable coverage, it's a dream come true for achieving a natural, yet airbrushed look that lasts all day.
2. Wet 'n Wild's Tinted Hydrator Tinted Skin Veil: For those who prefer a more lightweight and natural-looking base, Wet 'n Wild's Tinted Hydrator Tinted Skin Veil is an absolute gem. This multitasking product provides sheer coverage while hydrating and evening out the complexion. It actually reminds me of the Luminous Silk foundation, but is only $6… can’t beat that!
3. Neutrogena Radiant Cream Concealer: A dupe for the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, this little wonder effortlessly camouflages under-eye circles, blemishes, and discoloration, leaving you with a bright and flawless complexion. Its creamy texture blends like a dream, ensuring a seamless finish.
4. Saie Glowly Super Gel in Starglow: Want that luminous, dewy look without sacrificing skincare benefits? Look no further than Saie Glowly Super Gel in Starglow. Infused with nourishing ingredients, this multi-purpose gel imparts a natural radiance to the skin. Use it as a highlighter, mix it with foundation, or apply it alone for an ethereal glow.
5. Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Finish Powder in Fair: I lock in your makeup everyday with this velvety-smooth finishing powder. This finely milled powder blurs imperfections and controls shine, leaving your skin looking flawless and photo-ready.
6. ABH Deep Taupe Lip Liner: This is the perfect deep tan color for my lips! Its creamy and highly pigmented formula allows for precise application, ensuring a defined and long-lasting lip look. This versatile shade complements a wide range of lip colors, making it a staple for my makeup kit.
7. Charlotte Tilbury Iconic Nude Lip Liner: A tad lighter than ABH’s Deep Taupe Lip Liner, I find this color to be my perfect your-lips-but-better color. Also, a universally flattering shade.
8. LA Girl Sugar and Spice Lip Liner: More on the pinky side of tan and the perfect affordable alternative to the lip liners mentioned above.
9. Essence Semi Matte Lipsticks: These creamy lipsticks offer a comfortable semi-matte finish, delivering rich and vibrant color payoff. Anyone can find their “everyday lipstick” in this range. From dark neutrals to pinks to tans, these lipsticks are key in my kit.
10. Morphe X Ariel Face Brush Set: This visually pleasing collection of brushes combines Ariel's enchanting aesthetic with Morphe's exceptional quality. I’m obsessed with them all - the blush brush provides a lighter application to ensure you don’t over do it, the tiny powder brush is perfect for precision, and the foundation brush has converted me over from a sponge girlie.
There you have it, my lovely makeup aficionados – the crème de la crème of makeup products that have made their mark on my beauty journey in the month of May. These tried-and-true favorites have not only exceeded my expectations but have also become staples in both my professional and personal makeup routines.
