Makeup Monday- Tiffany's Top 25
We asked our resident makeup maven to compile a list of her top 25 favorite beauty items and her reasons why. So sit in your comfy chair, ladies... let's see what she put together for us.
#25 - Ofra Cosmetics Banana Highlighting Powder
For : face/highlighting Why : I use this as a powder under my eyes, the yellowish color sets my concealer and also helps brighten the eyes. It can also be used to contour instead of using a shimmery highlighter. Get it here: OFRA
#24 - Batiste Dry Shampoo Plus - Divine Dark
For : dry shampoo/hair
Why : Best dry shampoo ever! I can go up to 3 days without washing my hair - and this one is for dark hair. It's tinted with a brown, so there's no white residue, and it smells SO good! They also make a brunette and blonde version! Get it here: Batiste Dry Shampoo #23 - NYX Cosmetics Face & Body Glitter For : Face & Body SPARKLE Why : I personally use this for my lids - to create a dramatic smoky/glittery eye. Perfect loose glitter, and it's super affordable! Get the glitter here: NYX Glitter Get the glitter primer here: Primer #22 - Maybelline Eye Tattoo Metal 24 Hour Eyeshadow For : Eyes Why : I love the metallic shine and staying power of these eyeshadows- you'll need a really good makeup remover to get them off! Get it here: Eye Tattoo Eyeshadow #21 - Real Techniques Beauty Blender Sponge For : Foundation or contour - blending sponge Why : A must have! I use this for patting on foundation and concealer, also for blending in contour on my cheek bones and forehead. Also a steal, most drugstores carry this for $6 or less! Get it here: Sponge #20 - IT Cosmetics CC Cream For : Foundation Why : Perfect foundation for the summer time. Very light and smoothing on your skin - also includes a built in primer!
