Eye Make-up Staples (Liner, Forehead, Mascara)
My favourite eyeliners really aren’t accessible 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 very best for brows. My most-used pencils are from ABH as a result of Caramel is the very best shade for me. My pure hair shade is nearly black however my brows are quite a bit lighter so matching one thing to my hair normally finally ends up wanting too harsh however Caramel is the very best shade 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.
Finest Lip Liners
Now onto my favourite class: lips! I like a great lip pencil and layering lip merchandise are all the time enjoyable, however today I’ve been so low upkeep I normally put on 1 product on my lips at a time.

Pat McGrath stays a favourite for the very best easy non-sticky gloss though so many shades are out of inventory, I don’t know if it’s simply bought 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 totally different manufacturers. Total I believe the Hourglass brushes are high 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 just a few years in the past and it was 100% definitely worth the splurge.
Ilia brushes are SO under-rated, I hope they broaden 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 simply don’t must empty it each single time. It’s additionally nice for journey.
It appears as if a whole lot of my go-to powder puffs have modified and aren’t as tender 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 sufficiently big to cowl a good quantity on the face with out having to dab 1,000,000 occasions and it’s extremely tender.
One other must-have I swear by is the Sephora Assortment Day by day Brush Cleaner. Because it’s on the spendy facet I normally wash my brushes with Daybreak Dish Cleaning soap and a scrubbing pad. However for cream merchandise might be tough to take away all the way in which. 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 the event you attempt it will likely be AMAZED at how a lot basis, cream blush or eyeshadow come out, even AFTER washing it with cleaning soap + water.
