A Few of My Favorite Things

I have a confession. I am not the type of girl who feels the need to wear makeup all the time. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure I've scared people with the dark circles underneath my tired social worker eyes but I often don't have the energy/motivation to put it on in the morning. When I do, I like a soft, natural look. I've always subscribed to the belief that less is more. Below are links and descriptions of some of my favorite products that help me achieve this type of look. Feel free to share your favorite products!

Beauty Blender
The Beauty Blender is an egg-shaped sponge that you dampen with water, squeeze out, and then use to apply your foundation. Instead of smearing on your foundation with this applicator, you use a stippling motion that leaves a flawless finish.

Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm in "Petunia"
I'm constantly applying lip balm during this dry, winter weather. This product moisturizes while also adding a pretty hint of color. I've found that the color lasts even when the balm is gone.
  
Pixie Lid Last Shadow Pen in "Shell Sheen"
This product brightens my eyes while also providing subtle color and shimmer. I've had no issues with creasing and it also blends very well.

Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation in "Ivory"
I think what I love most about this product is that it matches my skin tone! I have a very fair complexion and even the lightest tones of many foundations often make me look orange. It also provides great coverage without being too heavy and it lasts all day.
