    I NEED my Chapstick. If I do not have it, I can't stop thinking about how dry my lips are. The rest of the stuff just hides your true beauty :)

    I can't live without my mineral foundation! It acts as a concealer as well, and a great base makes any makeup look better!

    I certainly can't live without eyeliner. What other product lets you redefine your eyes based on the occasion? Bold, soft, classy, temptress… eyeliner does it all!

    I need my l'oreal studio secrets primer. I love that I can put some on my face and not have to wear any foundation or powder. It covers any little flaws you may want to hide (like my scar I got when I was bit by a dog years ago) yet you don't have to cake a ton on your face and it is super lightweight. It works wonders!!

    I could NOT live without my coverup! I love MAC studio fix. It's more expensive than I would typically use, but it lasts a really long time and it's completely worth it. I don't wear any other makeup on a daily basis, but I'm never without my coverup!

  96. Sandi says:
    Wed, 23rd Mar 201110:09 am 

    Favorite thing I could not live with out, concealer, even if you don't have time for anything else, makes your face look more evenly covered (especially for freckled faces like mine!)
