I am a fan of makeup. I cannot emphasize how much.
Not because of the usual perception- Makeup changes looks.
But because of my own perception that it ENHANCES your natural beauty.
For me, wearing something that would make your image better is essential.
For it would help you develop an important factor in life - confidence.:)
Here are my everyday carry-ons that take up 50% of my entire bag.LOL
p.s. I love everything! I'd be including descriptions, reviews, and where-to-buy product links, 'cause who knows? You might fall in love with these products too.:p
1.) Maybelline Mineral Power Blush in True Peach - Amazingly pigmented blush! This warm corally peachy color works perfectly for fair or NC25 skinned people. It would give you a natural glow perfect for an everyday look. The best part is it's never gonna look cakey even at the en of the day. This loose powder blush may be quite messy to apply, however that hasn't stopped me from using it everyday!
2.) The Body Shop Shiso BB Cream - This super vitamin enriched formula is a perfect alternative for using foundation in a day to day routine. It's going to treat your skin, get rid of those annoying blemishes and it even has vitamin C that effectively whiten your skin while giving you a natural dewey shine (grab that Korean skin effect!) *recommended by my girl friend, Denise
3.) Benefit Posie Tint - this poppy-tinted lip and cheek stain (I only use this for my cheeks though) is a really cute petal-pink stain that plants a kiss off see-through tint on cheeks and lips. With hours of smudge proof just-pinched perfection, you'll be the prettiest bloom in the bunch!
4.) Lancome Traceur Matic Eye Liner - the long handle and super thin brush it features enables you to create fluid and precise lines each and every time. This formula is waterproof and long lasting.
5.) The Body Shop Loose Face Powder - this long-lasting, lightweight ultra-fine loose powder to apply over foundation to help reduce shine and set make-up. It provides a luxuriously smooth and matte finish. Dermatologically tested. Just in case I want a matte finish opposed to the dewey finish by the BB Cream.
6.) Maybelline Mineral Natural Perfecting Concealer - covers blemishes and the most unwanted dark circles! Gives an amazing natural finish especially when you find your most appropriate shade. I'm a 10. I recommend setting it with a loose powder for a long lasting coverage.
7.) Stila #31 Retractable Brush - this soft-bristled brush is very versatile. I use it as a powder and a blush brush as well. It makes any loose makeup appear more natural. It's retractable with cover feature minimizes bacteria build up making a day to day application safer. I recommend washing it once a week for a more sanitized application.
8.) Lancome Juicy Tubes Lipgloss in Framboise - get that perfectly plumped lips in every swipe. It contains vitamins that moisturizes your lips and even it has this smell that makes you wanna eat it!
9.) The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain in Rose Pink - this dual-purpose stain gives lips and cheeks a healthy-looking glow with one wash of color, or builds up for a richer, deeper coverage. A great base for lip products. Its moisturizing formulation helps to condition the skin.

Always remember that a little goes a long way. Just because a makeup look goes well with one person, it won't necessarily mean it's gonna look good on you. It requires skill. Makeups bring the best of your features when done right and makes them worse when done the other way around.
Love, J ♥
