Have you ever stepped into Sephora or Ulta Beauty and felt your mind go blank? It's like all your makeup knowledge vanishes in an instant – the products you wanted to try, the essentials
you needed, they all seem to fade away. Sound familiar? As a bridal makeup artist, I can't tell you how often I witness this! But don't worry, I wouldn't want you to miss out on fantastic products just because of overwhelming store vibes. That's why I'm here to ensure you don't overlook anything; let's explore the best beauty goodies together! Here's my curated list of summer favorites:
YSL All Hours Liquid Foundation: This foundation redefines your makeup game. While I've been a lifelong fan of Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk, YSL's formula takes it up a notch. Buttery and enduring, with added SPF (bonus points!), it's aptly named "All Hours" – this full-coverage foundation will keep you radiant for 24 hours and still flawless by nightfall. I swear by it!
Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer: I adore this concealer for both myself and my lovely clients! Its coverage is incredibly buildable, allowing you to choose between a light touch or a more intense finish. Hydration is key here, and it helps reduce creasing throughout wear.
Westman Atelier Face Trace Cream Contour Stick: Beyond its lavish packaging, this contour stick is incredibly creamy and user-friendly. A single glide transforms your look, granting you a snatched appearance in seconds!
Merit Flush Balm Cream Blush: For the simplest cream blush application, this is your go-to! Achieve your desired rosy cheeks and blend effortlessly with your fingertips. It captures the perfect summer flush while offering a subtle glow – it's like a 2-in-1 blush and highlighter!
Givenchy Prism Libre Loose Setting and Powder: While I've used countless jars of Laura Mercier's Loose Powder, once you try this, there's no turning back. Silky and sprinkled with delicate sparkles, it imparts a flawless and radiant finish. If you're into baking, this powder's a true gem, ensuring stunning under-eyes.
YSL Lash Clash Extreme Volume Mascara: Prepare for lashes that steal the show – long and enduring throughout the day and night. Personally, I prefer the non-waterproof version, as even the regular one is a bit challenging to remove! This mascara constantly earns me lash compliments, and it's so effective that I often skip curling my lashes.
Wonderskin Wonder Blading Lip Stain Masque: This lip stain has a multi-step app
lication – apply the shade, spritz with the wonder solution, and gently remove with a damp cloth. But trust me, it's a game-changer! A morning application guarantees a lip stain that stays strong all day. You can add gloss or wear it as is for a natural lip tint. Curious about permanent makeup? This gives you a taste of lip possibilities!
These products are my daily essentials, but remember, everyone has unique preferences and expectations from their makeup. I encourage you to try at least one of these gems; you might just fall in love!
