Laura Mercier illuminating tinted moisturizer- $42, Anastasia Brow Pen- $21, Benetint in Posie- $29, Covergirl Line Exact liquid eyeliner- about $7 at Walgreens
i'm definitely not a makeup pro, but i have been wearing liquid eyeliner basically since i could walk (okay more like since i was 12- same difference). i HATE feeling like i have a ton of makeup on- it drives me absolutely crazy. my skin is super dry and drab, so i recently discovered the absolute perfect tinted moisturized by Laura Mercier. it has illuminating properties which leave my skin glowing without being sparkly or heavy, while evening out any splotchiness in my face.
i was cursed with light eyebrows (anyone who also has light eyebrows knows how horrible it is!) and JUST YESTERDAY finally found the perfect remedy. this brow pen acts as a stain, so it doesn't wear off like a pencil! it really is magic. i'm obsessed.
also picked up some Benetint because, once again, my face is just blah without any makeup on. lipstick always comes off, i hate the texture of lipgloss, so this stuff is heaven-sent. just a little dab on my lips and i'm good for hours.
lastly- my number one makeup item. i go through this stuff like water. i can't apply liquid eyeliner without it having a marker-like tip such as this one. it's so much easier to apply than most other eyeliners that i've tried... plus it's waterproof, which i absolutely need because i have really intense allergies causing my eyes to water way more than any normal person's should.
that's it! everything else i use isn't very interesting, but i recommend trying these things out!

Definitely need some of that eyeliner! Great make up post even though I never use make up since I'm such a noob. Btw, I'm rocking a dress I bought from Crystallized way back, so check it out if you like chula :)

You always look so natural in your outfit posts which is so flattering I find. Posie tint is a great one, so versatile.
oh my god - yes, I feel you on the eyebrow issue. Mine are basically clear. I normally use a cheapie brow palette by Sonia Kashuk (pretty great actually), but when it runs out I'm for sure trying this brow pen, it seems easier to apply
so glad you did this post, i love learning how others do their hair and makeup and what products they use! i want to try that brow pen now, i've used the anastasia brow whiz pencil which is awesome, but i would love something that doesn't come off...and i've heard great things about that tinted moisturizer.
thanks for sharing!

You definetly use great products. I love the Benetint in Posie myself. Another great tinted moisturizer is Elizabeth Arden's Pure Finish Mineral Tinted Moisturizer. I use it in Fair. It's been a favorite of mine since I discovered it when I used to work for EA because, unlike a lot of tinted moisturizers, it doesn't look like self-tanner on me, because most tinted moisturizers tend to make me look like that.
