Ride or Die Makeup Kit.
Hello Everyone!! I hope you are having a wonderful day!
I share great beauty products with you all the time, but I frequently get asked about my all-time favorites. Today I'm taking on Jaclyn Hill's Ride or Die makeup tag and sharing my favorite poducts that I will never be without. While I love all of the products in my makeup collection, these are the best of the best. They're my ride or die makeup favortes tat i love an swill continue to repurchase over and over again. Technically, I'm only supposed to list on product per-catagory, but I've never been good at making decisions-especially when it comes to makeup! So without further ado, here is a comprehensive list of my ride or die makeup.
RIDE OR DIE MAKEUP: FACE PRODUCTS
PRIMER
Make Up For Ever Step 1 Skin Equalizer Smoothing Primer: This primer smooths away uneven texture, enlarged pores, and fine lines and make your foundation glide over your skin. It makes every single foundation in my collection look better.
Cover FX Custom Blot Drops: This products is amazing, and it's so much more than a primer. These drops control your oil production and leave your skin smooth and matte all day long. While they can be used as a all-over face primer, you can also mix a few drops of this product into your favorite serum, moisturizer, or foundation to create a long-lasting matte finish. You can also use this product to touch up oily areas of your face throughout the day, Simply add a drop or two to the back of your hand and blot the product into your skin with a Beauty Blender sponge or your finger. The Blot Drops will nattify the area without disturbing your makeup or adding a thick layer of product to your skin.
FOUNDATION
Urban Decay All Night Liquid Foundation: This foundation is one of my latest makeup purchases, but it's already earned a place on my ride or die list. It provides high coverage without looking thick or cake-y, and it keeps your skin looking smooth and matte all day long. The pump-style packaging is extremely convenient, and there are 24 shades of this formula to match almost every skin tone. While it's fabulous on its own, I also love mixing this foundation with my favorite moisturizer on day when I want long-lasting medium coverage.
Milani 2-in-1 Foundation + Concealer: This Milani foundation is my favorite drugstore foundation of all time. It provides great coverage and a natural satin finish that's hard to beat.
The formula comes in 8 shades and is heavily yellow-toned. The line runs dark, so be sure to order one shade lighter then you think.
It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream with SPF 50+: The It Cosmetics CC Cream is something that Iw ill never be without. It has a moisturizing formula that doesn't make you oily, medium to full coverage, and SPF 50+. This product is probably my most-worn foundation of all-time, and it's the best product on the market for day in the sun. I've recommended and/or purchased this foundation for almost every single women in my family, and I highly recommend purchasing a tube-even if it's a sample size-to try out for yourself. The product is available in 5 shades, and I'm hoping they'll continue to add more colors to the range soon.
CONCEALER
Tarte Shape Tape Concealer: This concealer is the BEST concealer in the world. Period. End of story. Go buy it. The formula is unlike anything I've every tried. It's thin but intensely concentrated, and it dries down completely without drying out your skin. I have under eye circles, and this concealer covers them up better than anything on the market. And believe me, I have tried almost every concealer out there. This product is currently available in 10 shades. Your skin and under eye area will never look better, and the coverage lasts all day long. It will change your life!
bareMinerals BARESKIN Complete Coverage Serum Concealer: While I just declared my undying love and utter obession with the Tarte concealer, I just couldn't leave out another favorite form bareMinerals. In my opinion, they're completely different products. This concealer is excellent for dry skin, and I use it on days when I'm going for a more natural look. the formula is thin and easily blendable, and it contains hydrating ingredients that keep your skin soft and smooth throughout the entire day. Despite it's lightweight texture, this concealer provides great coverage. If you're looking for a lightweight, moisturizing, and full-coverage concealer that works well with normal to dry skin, you will love this product! It's available in 6 shades that will suit most skin tones.
POWDER
Laura Geller Double Take Baked Versatile Powder Foundation: This powder foundation is kind of magical. It can be applied wet or dry, and it gives you absolutely flawless skin. If you want to exclusively use this powder as your foundation. I'd recommend using the included sponge applicator; however, it also perfects any look when a lighter coat is applied with a large fluffy brush. Despite its powder consistency, it somehow manages to not look like a powder on the skin. It instantly melts into your skin, and it looks like you're wearing liquid foundation. it's amazing, and I have a hard time using any other powder now. It's currently available in 9 shades.
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder: Laura Mercier is one of those brands that always gets it right. This loose setting powder leaves your skin looking absolutely flawless, and it's perfect for everything from light setting to full-on baking. It's a timeless making staple that ou shouldn't be without.
BRONZER
It Cosmetics Your Most Beautiful You Anti-Aging Face Palette: The bronzer in this palette is absolutely perfect. It's the perfect shade, the perfect consistency, and the perfect formula.
I swipe this bronzer around the edges of my favorite large, fluffy brush, and my pasty white skin instantly looks sun-kissed and healthy. While I'm featuring this bronzer in my ride or dies products, all these products in this palette are stunning. The blush and highlighter couldn't be more beautiful. If you're looking for a stellar everyday makeup product, pick up this palette.
BLUSH
Wet n Wild Color Icon Blush in Rose Champagne: I have an entire drawer of fancy blushes, and I love them all: however, this blush is by far my most use product...and it only costs $2.99. Yes, you read that right. My ride or die blush is under $3. The entire collection of Wet n Wild blushes is fabulous, but the Rose Champagne color hold a special place in my heart. I'll be honest, it doesn't look that special in the pan. It's a dusty neutral pink shade that gives your skin the most beautiful natural flush, and It matches every single makeup look.
CONTOUR
Lorac PRO Contour Palette & Brush: I've tried a number of contouring palettes, but I always come back to the fantastic palette from Lorac. It includes a light, medium, and dark contour owders that can double as bronzers as well as two mattte and one shimmery highlighting powders. The powders are smooth and blend easily, and you'll also receive a brush that's great for achieving a sharp contour. In addition to being a great palette for bronzing, highlighting, and contouring, I frequently use all of these shades as eye shadows. This palette is exceptionally great quality, and you will get use ot of every single shade.
HIGHLIGHTER
BECCA x Jaclyn Hill pressed Highlighter in Champagne Pop: I resisted the hype for so long. I saw this highlighter all over YouTube, and I resisted the temptation to buy it for a months...and then I swatched it in Sephora. Ladies, I'm here to tell you that this product is absolutely worth the hype. The formula is smooth, creamy, and highly pigmented, and the color is absolutely angelic. I use this highlighter on the top of my cheekbones almost every day, and it also doubles as a beautiful eye shadow.
Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops: Cover FX is quickly becoming on the my favorite makeup lines. their products are unique and so, so good. The Custom Enhancer Drop are gme-changing. I have the shade Sunlight, on of the shimmery colors, and it is unbelievably metallic and shiny and gorgeous. These drops can be used to highlight the face or as a metallic eye shadow, and you can also mix a drop or two into your favorite moisturizer, primer or foundation to add a subtle glow to your makeup. I've even dabbed a tiny bit onto the center of my lips to liven up my lipstick. This product is one of a kind, and I have a suspicion that I'll eventually purchase the entire line including the matte bronzing shades!
SETTING SPRAY
MAC Prep + Prime Fx + Finishing Mist: I have a serious addiction to setting spray. They instantly take away the powdery look of makeup and make the colors of your look come to life. While I love several favorites, MAC Fix+ will always be on top. This setting spray doesn't provide the longest staying power of the bunch, but the fine mist always leaves my skin looking beautiful. Without fail, I always receive compliments on my skin and foundation when I use this spray.

RIDE OR DIE MAKEUP: EYE PRODUCTS
EYE PRIMER
Milani Eye Shadow Primer: A good eye primer will make the colors of your eye shadows pop and dramatically increase the wear time of your eye products. While I have a few high-end products that are wonderful, I have to say the Milani version is just as impressive for a fraction of the cost. It goes on clear and provides the perfect base for any look.
EYE SHADOW PALETTES
tarte Tartelette In Bloom Clay Eye Shadow Palette: I bought the original Tartelette palette last year, and I instantly fell inlove with the seletion of dreamy matte eye shadows...but then I found the Tartelette in Bloom palette.

It features every color that you need to create dozens of glamorous looks, and the formula is outstanding. Pigmented, smooth, and incredibly easy to blend.No to mention the hot cocoa chocolate scent that wafts up fro these beautiful eye shadows every time you use this palette!
Lorac PRO Palette: this eye shadow palette is a long-time favorite that's a must-have for any beauty lover. It features matte and shimmer shades in a variety of neutral tones, and the formula is ultra-buttery and smooth. It's a fabulous eye palette for all ages and all skin tones.
