Face Atelier Ultra foundation, Sydney Grace Cloud Nine setting powder, NARS pot concealer, Benefit Bo-oing liquid concealer, Lancome Teint Idole foundation stick. The Lisa Eldridge foundation will be on this list next year 😀
Missha BB Cream, Revlon Photoready Candid Concealer, Bareminerals Mineral Veil, Revlon Colorstay Foundation, Chanel Ultra Le’Teint Velvet Foundation
SUNSCREEN (should count as even my untinted one creates a smooth, almost glossy layer to my skin).
Ilia Skin Tint spf40
MAC StudioFinish spf 35 concealer
RMS concealer (in the pot, trying to use up as the color isn’t right for me, but they don’t make one that is so…..)
Then it’s a series of mostly liquid highlights with Becca Pearl at the top spot
I didn’t think along those lines but absolutely sunscreen is a must!
My face makeup doesn’t change that much, so my five complexion products were easy to pick out. Urban Decay All Nighter primer, Guerlain Lingerie De Peau Foundation in 00N, Dior Forever Matte in 0N, NARS concealer in Vanilla (will lighten to Chantilly in the New Year as Vanilla is now way too dark), and Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder. I’ve come to realize that both of my favorite foundations are being discontinued or reformulated, so I’m a little stressed about that BUT I do have backups of both — in fact, two of the Dior — so I’m trying to reassure my allergy-prone self that there will still be a foundation I can use by mid-year. Deep breaths….
Laura Geller Baked Balance-n-Brighten Color Correcting Foundation, Supergoop (Re)setting 100% Mineral Powder SPF 35, Too Faced Cocoa Powder Foundation (DC), RCMA No Color Powder, and Sephora Collection Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer.
I don’t use many base products ever – only sunscreen, primer, and powder – so I total used only 4 this year lol.
Milani rose lotion primer, Besame brightening violet powder, Manic Panic “virgin” white powder, and Babo Botanicals daily sheer tinted sunscreen.
1.) MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing WP Foundation NW35
2.) Hourglass Dim Light Ambient Lighting Powder

NYX Bare With Me Luminous Tinted Skin Serum
I’m a powder woman and about a year ago I’d found a gift of Laura Mercier Candleglow #1 and decided to use it instead of the powder foundation I was unhappy with. It’s been a game changer, my skin is illuminated in the slightest way….it’s all I use other than powder contour – Aucoin and bronzer – at the moment L’Oréal Lumi. Next and this year I prowl your favorite powder blush! It’s going to be fun…makeup should be
