I was a mac and nars addict then I changed to all natural or as natural as I could find. The biggest problem in the beginning was finding eyeshadow that wasn’t full of sparkle–I like sparkle but not during the day so much. Jane Iredale was the finest shadow without too much shimmer that I found. I have since branched out. I will place a link next to the first mention of the makeup company.
FOUNDATION–Okay so I travel between three right now–
Tarte–tarte at sephora
Ren BB cream —great bb cream by REN
Jane Iredale– tinted moisturizer–all Jane Iredale
Tarte Creaseless and Poreless primers-
SUNSCREEN–
face– Josie Maran Protect all Josie Maran
COVERUP-
Josie Maran–Argan Creamy Concealer–the absolute best–creamy, great coverage without cake–see above
BY ITSELF–
Josie Maran –Agan Balm—this for lips hands face –great mositurizer on my bedside table.
MASCARA–
Still dreaming of my old lashes which looked like I had false ones on as soon as I put on mascara…not anymore . I just bought Josie Maran’s mascara so I’ll try that tomorrow.
Dr Hauschka–my favorite right now. Dr H mascara
Tarte– lights camera lashes and lights camera flashes these are great–both tarte mascaras but they go on a bit two wet so you have to take time with them
Physicians formula –organic–great drugstore brand–mascara–love this and just noticed that there is one I haven’t tried by them…I feel a need to try–I miss my lashes so I am continuing the hunt for perfection–
EYEBROWS-
Tarte —emphasEYES for brows in Taupe-the closest thing to my beloved powder from MAC: omega. I have been searching for the best replacement and this is the closest colorwise for me and it’s quick–my brows haven’t come back completely yet and it is the one thing that makes me look not so pale–so I almost always do my brows.
Josie Maran is another one i have used–it’s a pen type and I am not as skilled at it…YET!
EYESHADOW–
tarte–two collections –that don’t exist anymore but the eye shadows are lovely.
Jane Iredale–The daytime kit and then they have these fab loose posders in bronze and gold and lilac as well as liners in bronze and black–love them.
LIPSTICK
Jane Iredale–Melissa, Kate, Sarah, Halle
Primitive–hard to find but a great consistency with nice colors lips! I buy it in Durango at the market and on line and honestly every color works on me.
Tarte–I like envy and moody Lipsurgence and Glamazon pure performance 12-hour lipstick.
LIPBALM–
–I am never without on a plane or my bedside table is Dr Haushka’s lip balm–it comes in a tube and a pot–very expensive but it lasts all night while I sleep. I find the tube goes longer as I waste nothing by putting it on like lipstick.
MAKEUP REMOVER–
Josie Maran Bear Naked Wipes–love these quick and don’t dry out my skin.
I don’t wear makeup everyday but this is what I use
