I know exactly what you mean by “comfort food” makeup…
Estée Lauder Double Wear Makeup, Clinique Cheek Pop (Nude and Pink Honey), MAC Paint Pot (Groundwork), Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil (Mushroom), Haus Labs Optic Eye Pencil (Deep Bronze Shimmer), Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion Mascara, Rouge Dior Matte Lipstick (100 Nude Look), and Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick (Intemporelle).
ISDN tinted sunscreen, LM fresco blush, CT MI kiss lipstick, diorshow mascara
A pink-red lip color and MAC paint pot in painterly. Nail polish in lavender or a neutral.
Painterly is such a wonderful, versatile product and one of the few “greats” that MAC hasn’t either discontinued (sigh) or messed up.
MAC Studio Fix Powder foundation, MAC Naturally Flawless blush and right now Lancome 546 But First Cafe lipstick.
Bronze eyeshadows, NARS Orgasm & a tinted lip oil /lip balm
Roosevelt blush from colourpop or glossier blush in dusk. A orangey, coppery, nudey blush is all I need on cozy days
Concealer under my eyes (I’ve always got to have under-eye concealer), something like MAC All That Glitters and Mulch on lids, Sephora Cappuccino liner, MAC Sweet Sentiment Blush and Craving lipstick. That’s pretty much “it”. It’s quick, easy and always looks good.
Fenty Profilt’r Hydrating Longwear Foundation in 260 (I’m sure going to be sad once what I have left is gone! WHY did she DC this wonderful foundation???), Hourglass Dim Light Ambient Lighting Powder for a simply perfect blurring/perfecting effect, MAC Blushbaby, either PMG Labs She’s Heaven LuxeTrance Lipstick, UD Catfight Revolution lipstick, Hourglass Cypress Satin Creme Lipstick, Fenty Gloss Bomb in Fenty Glow or Chocolit, UD Naked 2, PMG Labs Subversive Mothership lll or CT Bejewelled palette.
Lately it’s been SG Tiny Marvels. I turn to it when I don’t know what else to do. It’s neutral enough for every day, but the pops of color are just my type. The shimmers are yummy, it goes super light to super deep. It’s what I turn to again and again.
Smoky eyeliner and possibly some glitter on the lid!
– Lisa Eldridge foundation
– MUFE concealer for spot concealing
– Urban Decay Video blush
– Finishing powder
– MAC E is for Effortless lipstick
– A taupe or medium brown eyeshadow in the crease: probably Sydney Grace Frappe, Coffee Snob, or Rum Raisin
– Kiss Me Heroine Make black liquid eyeliner and Long & Curl mascara
– Tinted brow gel
Berry shades of lipstick! No specific one, just in general. They go with every season!
UD Rockstar eye pencil, Tarte Creaseless concealer, Fenty loose powder, MAC shadows in It’s Vintage and Omega, Benefit brow pencil, Pat McGrath Fleurtatious blush and Glossier Ultralip in Villa. Lately I’ve been liking a sample I got of the new Benefit Fan Fest mascara but I’ll see how I feel when it’s gone!
My makeup equivalent of ‘comfort food’ is L’Oreal’s True Match foundation in Porcelain Rose, soft brown eyebrow pencil, CP’s lipstick in Foolish or Maybelliene’s Spice for Me lippie, MAC’s Fleur Power blush and a selection of shades from Pixi Beauty’s Reflex Light palette – some golds, a bronze and a soft brown.
I wish I could say Chosungah foundation in Porcelain but since I can’t, for right now I am going to go with either Dior Dreamskin Cushion or Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint in shade 1. I wish I had a favorite concealer but still working on finding something I like. I just tried Kosas as everyone was raving about it but still looked cakey under the eye. I may be applying too much so we will see. So, I would leave off concealer. Chanel Tisse Rivoli Eye Shadow Quad using shade 2 and 3 for a simple look. Guerlain Meteorites in Claire, Ciate Glow to Illuminating Blush in Summer Love, and Dior Lip Glow in either Rose Gold or Ultra Pink and of course, I would bath myself in MAC Fix Plus. I still love the stuff. I sincerely want a perfume with the original scent. In the summer I keep a bottle in the fridge and spray myself a few times a day in addition to my many sprays during my usual full makeup application.
Ohhh this is a fun one. My Mercier Candleglow Powder with my Aucoin contour in medium. Revlon eyeliner in black violet. Nars Maldives as blush and Elf Wow Brow. Lipstick Fenty Goji Gang or Ilia Wanderlust. Holding, looking, lining them up makes me smile and feel comfy and that pretty much all is right with my little orbit🤍
Black mascara and red lipstick, a little powder to stop the shine of my oily skin.
Red lipstick makes everything better, for me that is.
MAC Studio Fix Fluid NW10, Dior Rosy Glow blush in Pink (before Dior ruined it), Diorshow mascara and either Clinique Black Honey, Fresh Berry tinted balm or Fenty Gloss Bomb Hot Chocolit.
Estee Lauder Doublewear in Fresco. Honest Beauty Cream blush in Peony Pink. MAC’s Pink Nouveau lipstick–which has been discontinued. I’m still looking for a dupe.
MAC paint pot in Groundwork, CT ETM in Oyster Pearl, and Glossier Skin Tint.
