Top 10?

Dec 11, 2012

Justine S.

I really enjoy doing my make-up and I've collected so much over the years that I feel like I need to prioritize and reduce to what is important and what's the best to use out there. I'm looking for products you've found and can no longer live without :)
From experience what can should I start with concerning:
Top 10
- Brushes?
- Basics?
- Must have extras?

Even one or two ideas will really help :)

At the bare minimum I wont be caught dead without my 3 most basic items:

- Mac foundation (pro Longwear or face and body, depending on the day/occasion.
- NYX lipgloss
- Makeup forever's Aqua Eyes

The rest I use daily:
- Nars blush
- Maybellines illegal lash
- Mac's Blacktrack

I've been such a MAC loyalist but that's only because that's all I've known. But I'm venturing out and there soooo much out there to try!!! It's so awesome to try different things and receive advice :)
