Fave Makeup Products

I am a risk-taker for fashion but rarely for makeup. I keep it simple, mostly because I am not great at putting on makeup. Because of my lack of skill, I like to keep my makeup routine simple. Ryan and I celebrated our anniversary last week and it was the first time in a few months I was able to really put on some makeup and dress up. I am also wearing the beautiful rose gold diamond necklace he surprised me with.

To achieve this “natural” look, I used Ava Anderson BB Cream in Bisque, Mary Kay Brow pencil, and used my absolute favorite bronzer, Ombre Bronzer by It Cosmetics.  On my eyes, I actually used the gold/shimmer part of the Ombre Bronzer and this eyeliner also by It Cosmetics (yes, I love them)!  Finished off with my favorite drugstore mascara, L’oreal Telescopic.  For more drugstore favorites, check out my post Best of Drugstore Products.
