Face:
Makeup Forever Mat Velvet + Foundation in shades 30 and 40 - I love mixing these two shades together to get my perfect match.  It leaves my complexion looking flawless and keeps my T-Zone from getting too shiny throughout the day.
MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NC20 - A yellow-toned concealer that completely camouflages blemishes, redness and discolorations
Laura Gellar Baked Body Frosting in Tahitian Glow - This product is an allover face and body glow.  It compliments a natural or sunless tan and adds a believable, dewy highlight to your skin. Lightly dust a sheer veil of translucent setting powder, like the Makeup Forever HD Powder, wherever you've applied the Baked Body Frosting. This will give your bronzed glow extra staying power!
Makeup Forever HD Powder -  I use this product on a large fluffy brush to set my liquid foundation.  This is a really great option because it never looks dry or cakey.
NARS The Multiple in Copacabana - This is my new favorite cream highlighter because it gives you that healthy, fresh-faced effect when applied to the face. I love to apply it to my temples, tops of my cheekbones, cupid's bow, bridge of my nose, and that tiny spot on your nose where your glasses would rest. Highlighting these points on your face will give your complexion natural-looking luminosity.
Bobby Brown Pot Rouge in Cabo Coral - This is my go-to summer cheek color!  Everything about this product is perfect; the color, the consistency, and the fact that it can be used on your lips too. I love multi-tasking products because they take the guess work out of coordinating makeup shades!

Eyes:
MAC Quad with 4 refillable shadow pans: Ricepaper, Woodwinked, Espresso and Carbon.  I find myself coming up with so many different eye looks using just these 4 eyeshadows. I use Carbon (matte black) to set my liquid, cream or gel eyeliners almost every day.
Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden (tube): This eyeshadow base is also tinted so you can see how much you're applying and brighten the eye area at the same time.
Maybelline One By One Volume Express Mascara: This is a drugstore gem that makes my lashes look super long and voluminous!
Covergirl Liquiline Blast: An eyeliner pencil that really comes in handy! Not only is it incredibly pigmented, it transfers easily and comes with a smudge tip on the other end that actually works!
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Iced Mocha - This is a great essential to have in your makeup kit.  It's the perfect neutral, warm brown color.  I use this under powder eyeshadows to make them last all day.

Lips:
Covergirl NatureLuxe Gloss Balm in Sandstone - Perfect summer lip color!  These lip balms are nicely pigmented, smell like mango, and are perfect for my beach bag because they contain SPF 15!
