So, I guess it's time for the Beauty Awards. Most people say they have a hard time singling their favorties down to one product, but for me, it was actually quite easy. I know there are a lot of great products out there but I definitely know which ones are the best ( in my opinion). I tend to look for dewy foundations, primers that extend the wear of my makeup, full coverage concealers, dramatic mascara, long wearing lipsticks, and Blendable/ intense eyeshadows. Not everyone has my skin type but I do think everyone can benefit from this post. It's always nice to have great eyeshadows and lipsticks. And pretty much everyone looks for the same great qualities on those makeup products. So, I hope you enjoy this years Beauty Awards!
If you do need a different formulation for any product( ex. Matte foundation), just let me know in the comments below. I do have recommendations for everyone's needs.
This is my first time posting my Beauty Awards of the year. I decided to have one post (this post) listing all of the products chosen, then in different posts, I'm going to talk about each product I picked in the category they belong in. For example, my next post will be Complexion. Every complexion product I picked will have a description written underneath it. I know some people like to quickly read the total favorites of the year and others like to take the time to read why they are my favorites. So that's why I decided to do it this way. Let me know what you think in the comments below. If no one likes it this way, I will switch it up next year.
I also want to let you all know skincare will be in a different post. It might take me a little while to decide which products are the best. (A week or so...)
