Eye Make-up Staples (Liner, Forehead, Mascara)
My favourite eyeliners truly aren’t out there at Sephora (they’re from Sisley or Victoria Beckham Magnificence). However for brows there are TONS of nice choices at Sephora.
I like Profit Exactly My Forehead (I put on Shade 3), Anastasia Beverly Hills Forehead Wiz (Caramel) and Glossier Boy Forehead Arch Pencil (Cool Brown) the most effective for brows. My most-used pencils are from ABH as a result of Caramel is the most effective coloration for me. My pure hair coloration is sort of black however my brows are quite a bit lighter so matching one thing to my hair often finally ends up trying too harsh however Caramel is the most effective coloration for me. As a lot as I like the Glossier one there’s not a lot product within the pencil and I believe I used a complete pencil in 3 weeks.
Greatest Lip Liners
Now onto my favourite class: lips! I like a very good lip pencil and layering lip merchandise are at all times enjoyable, however today I’ve been so low upkeep I often put on 1 product on my lips at a time.

Pat McGrath stays a favourite for the most effective clean non-sticky gloss though so many shades are out of inventory, I don’t know if it’s simply offered out or being phased out.
Instruments/Misc
For instruments I want there was only one model I may discover all my favourite brushes from, however sadly I’ve to combine instruments from completely different manufacturers. Total I believe the Hourglass brushes are prime notch for each powder and cream merchandise. I actually love the No 15 Blush Brush for cream brushes and the Vanish Basis Brush for bases and the Concealer Brush is superb. I splurged on the journey brush set throughout a earlier sale a couple of years in the past and it was 100% definitely worth the splurge.
Ilia brushes are SO under-rated, I hope they develop their brush vary. I actually love the Sculpting Brush and Ending Powder Brush.
I believe the Glossier Lip Liner Sharper is a should. The design to catch the shavings is massive sufficient that you just don’t need to empty it each single time. It’s additionally nice for journey.
It appears as if quite a lot of my go-to powder puffs have modified and aren’t as delicate as they was once (I’m speaking about repurchases not being the identical). I actually love the Make-up By Mario Grasp Professional Puff although. It’s large enough to cowl an honest quantity on the face with out having to dab one million occasions and it’s extremely delicate.
One other must-have I swear by is the Sephora Assortment Day by day Brush Cleaner. Because it’s on the spendy aspect I often wash my brushes with Daybreak Dish Cleaning soap and a scrubbing pad. However for cream merchandise may be tough to take away all the best way. After I give them a rinse with heat water and dish cleaning soap. I’ll spritz the Sephora Brush cleaner to soak the comb. In case you attempt it is going to be AMAZED at how a lot basis, cream blush or eyeshadow come out, even AFTER washing it with cleaning soap + water.
