My Top 10 Makeup Products

Coping with quarantine has been a struggle. I have had ups and downs, plus my pregnancy. It is hard to try and keep it "normal" because it is not normal being home for more than 50 days. However, I am thankful to have a home, a job, health, and a supportive husband. All right let's focus on what I really want to talk to you about; MAKEUP!
The first few days of quarantine I did not wear anything aside from my SPF 15 moisturizer and concealer. Then, I started thinking that I should at least wear BB cream and mascara. Little by little I started using more of my products until I eventually got my old routine back.

Here are my Top 10 favorite products, which I use daily and will create a natural look.



1. Cetaphil SPF 15 moisturizer: I have been using this for at least 20 years! (wow I feel old). This was recommended by my dermatologist. I have mixed skin and have tried other moisturizers that have higher SPF or are antiaging and my skin has had a bad reaction to them. This is lightweight cream and helps with dry areas without making your face look greasy.

2. Origins Anti-Aging Serum: Since I love my moisturizer but still need to take care of aging marks, I use this Anti-Aging Serum from Origins. It is also lightweight and I usually wear it during the day and at night, before bed. This product can be a bit pricey but Origins always has good deals, like this "Be Youthful Pack" that contains other products and is cheaper than buying just one. I really recommend this product if you are starting to get face lines. 

3. Origins Pore-Perfecting Primer: This cooling, frothy foam primer leaves your skin looking fresh. I usually wear it before the BB cream. It helps reduce the appearance of pores, and it also works as a primer. Plus, it smells really good, like all of Origins products. 

4. Essence Concealer: This concealer is only $3.99 and it covers very good! I have tried other brands and even more expensive ones, which have caused rashes. I could say Essence does a great job with their products. This has been one of my favorite products.  

5. Tarte BB Cream: Don't expect full coverage with this product, it is not makeup, it's BB cream, which makes your skin look natural and without any blemishes. I really like the soft, creamy, lightweight consistency. Plus, it has SPF 15, which never hurts!

6. Milani Powder: You can find this powder at your local pharmacy. It is only $10 but it covers pretty well. I really like it and wear it on top of my BB cream. I use a brush to blend it. It helps hide any blemishes that were not covered the BB cream.

7. Doll 10 Blush: I got this blush on one of the Ipsy bags. I really like it since it is easy to apply and has a creamy and soft texture. I just add a little bit in my cheekbones and in my nose.

8. Essence Mascara: My cousin actually recommended this mascara. She loves mascaras and has tried all of them and this is her favorite and mine too. She read in a magazine that this was a top-rated product and let me tell you, it is awesome! Plus, it is only $4.99! Can't beat that. Again Essence providing good products at a low cost. I love a steal!

9. Essence Brow Gel: I discovered this one at a photoshoot. They were doing my makeup and used this product on my brows. It makes a difference and it gives your brows a natural look. 

10. Nyx Matte Lip cream: My husband bought me for Christmas a case with like 20 different lip creams. My favorite color has been "Rome". It just makes my lips look natural. Plus, it stays on for a long time.

  5. Thanks for sharing your your life insight. Skin care is very necessary to look beautiful and young. Makeup is not a permanent solution as it takes time to setup and you need to remove it daily.
    you already know how makeup looks beautiful on whitened skin. Skin becomes dark due to excessive accumulation of Melanin in the skin that ultimately causes pigmentation. As skin whitening is considered to be the perfect skin for makeup products, LARC offers the best skin whitening treatment in Lahore under the administration of professionals.
