OUR EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS

SARAH
Dior Addict Lip Glow ($30): Perfect for every day use. Super moisturizing and tones down my favorite bright lipsticks during the day so they are more work appropriate. Worn alone, it brightens and  accentuates the natural coloring of your lips. 

Laura Mercier Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer ($43) - Gives just enough coverage with a little sheen to make your skin appear flawless in the most natural way. Plus it has SPF 20 in it, not nearly high enough for my fair skin but great for the mornings when I'm running late and only have time for one step.

MAC Oversexed Plushglass ($19.50): Looks like an intimidating dark purple in the tube, but goes on the lips as a shimmering, sheer dark mauve with hints of gold sparkle to give your lips more dimension. Goes with any makeup look, day or night. It's the one product I recommend to friends and family no matter what their age or style.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Rockstar ($19): These are hands down the best waterproof eyeliner pencils that I’ve found. They come in a wide range of colors, but Rockstar is the one that I keep coming back to. The color is a dark eggplant shade with just a hint of shimmer when the light hits it, giving it just enough pop to make it extra special.

Benefit Chacha Tint Cheek and Lip Stain ($29): This is the perfect pick me up for any face! It is a coral tinted stain that lasts for hours. I found it to be natural and beautiful both on the lips and cheeks. It may take a little practice to get used to the nail polish style brush but the radiant results are worth the little bit of extra effort in the beginning. Use a small amount and blend immediately or it will set on the skin and ruin that natural flush that we are all trying to achieve.

NANCY

Studio Fix Powder Foundation ($27):  A one-step application of foundation and powder that gives your face a flawless, matte finish. 

 MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Lightyear ($29):  A velvety soft powder with a slight metallic finish. Adds highlights to cheeks or can be used lightly all over the face. It gives my skin a natural, soft, peachy glow.

Dior Shimmer Powder in Diamant Ambre ($44):  A shimmering pressed powder with shades of ivory, champagne, tan, bronze and peach.   Can be used as a highlight to liven up the face or eyes.  Works best on warmer complexions to give a natural radiance.

Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer ($20):  This amazing product is now in a very useable squeeze tube. It comes in four different shades including Eden (matte nude), Greed (shimmery gold), Sin (champagne shimmer) and Original (dries invisible). I prefer the Original for everyday looks but reach for Sin when I want to bring a little glamour to my eyes.

Ecotools Kabuki Brush Set  ($14):  This set includes four full size brush heads  that are extremely soft and easy to use. Perfect for travel or even throwing in your purse for touch ups. Each one of the brushes has it's own purpose, including conceal, bronze, contour, and buff.
