I'm a makeup artist who spent $360 on products this month. Here are 8 items I'd buy again and 2 I'd skip next time.
- I'm a makeup artist who spent $360 on new products and old favorites this February.
- The Fenty Skin Fenty Treatz hydrating and strengthening lip oil moisturizes without being sticky.
As a makeup artist, my job includes trying new products and repurchasing old favorites for my kit each month.
This February, I spent $360 on blushes, powders, concealers, and more.
Here's how each makeup product I bought stacked up.
The Fenty Skin Fenty Treatz hydrating and strengthening lip oil felt so luxe.
I wanted a moisturizing lip product that wasn't sticky or overly tinted to keep in my purse for no-makeup days, and I loved the Fenty Skin Fenty Treatz hydrating and strengthening lip oil.
This lip oil feels like self-care in a bottle and comes with a luxe-feeling doe-foot applicator, so I'll definitely repurchase it.
I paid $24 for the Fenty Skin lip oil.
The Nars blush in Taj Mahal looks beautiful on the cheeks.
Orange on the cheeks is always a good idea, and the Nars blush in the Taj Mahal shade is an excellent choice. Its vibrant tangerine hue and golden shimmer add a sun-kissed glow to the skin.
The highly pigmented formula blends effortlessly, lasts all day, and is perfect for any occasion.
I purchased the Nars blush for $32.
The Saie Dew Blush gives the cheeks a beautiful pop of color.
The Saie liquid blush is super blendable and buildable and gives the cheeks a perfect pop of color, like a natural glow from within.
It's made with great ingredients like elderberry and licorice-root extracts, so I feel good about what I'm putting on my skin. I purchased the shade Dreamy, which is a perfect berry hue for dark complexions.
I purchased the Saie Dew blush for $25.
I need the Hourglass Vanish Airbrush concealer in my makeup bag at all times.
The Hourglass Vanish Airbrush concealer is my new go-to for effortlessly covering dark circles and blemishes.
Its lightweight formula is full coverage and blends seamlessly into the skin. Plus, the large doe-foot applicator makes the product easy to apply.
I bought the Hourglass Vanish Airbrush concealer for $36.
The One/Size by Patrick Starrr Ultimate Blurring setting powder effortlessly smooths imperfections.
It took me a while, but the One/Size by Patrick Starrr Ultimate Blurring setting powder has become one of my favorite products.
This powder lives up to its name and hype by effortlessly blurring imperfections and leaving the skin flawless. Its lightweight formula sets makeup without feeling heavy or cakey.
The One/Size setting powder was $34.
In my opinion, all eye-shadow lovers need the Makeup by Mario Ethereal Eyes palette.
The Makeup by Mario Ethereal Eyes eye-shadow palette is a total game changer because the shades feel like butter — so smooth and blendable.
This palette can be used to create many looks, from everyday-chic to glam-nighttime makeup. Plus, the colors are incredibly pigmented.
This $68 palette is a must for anyone who loves playing with makeup.
I had to grab another Nars Radiant creamy liquid color corrector for my kit.
The Nars Radiant creamy liquid color corrector effortlessly neutralizes imperfections for a lightweight, luminous finish.
Its blendability is exceptional, as it seamlessly melts into the skin. I also love how this color corrector comes in a versatile shade range.
I purchased the Nars color corrector for $30.
I love using the mini Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish setting powder for on-the-go touch-ups.
A mini Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish setting powder is perfect for on-the-go touch-ups. Its finely milled texture blurs imperfections and leaves a matte yet radiant finish.
The long-lasting powder controls shine without looking heavy or cakey. Its packaging is luxurious, and the velvety feel makes it a staple for those who want an airbrushed complexion.
I paid $28 for the Charlotte Tilbury setting powder.
On the other hand, I'd skip The Foundation Stick from Basma next time.
The Foundation Stick from Basma promises hydrating, buildable coverage and a natural finish.
However, I'm not quite sold on foundation sticks yet. I haven't found myself reaching for this much, so I probably won't purchase it again.
The Foundation Stick from Basma cost $40.
The Patrick Ta Major Sculpt Crème contour-and-powder bronzer duo wasn't my favorite.
Simply put, the shade range of the Patrick Ta Major Sculpt Crème contour-and-powder bronzer duo falls short.
The limited options made finding a suitable match for various skin tones challenging. I wanted to love this product, but even the darker contour shades may appear ashy or not show up well on deeper complexions.
The Patrick Ta contour-and-bronzer duo cost $40.
