My Top Five Beauty Products Right Now And Why They Are In My Makeup Routine
I get asked these makeup questions constantly: What’s the best foundation? What are you using for blush ? Not what’s trendy but what’s sitting on my makeup vanity right now. So here we go. I’m Meg Ann Lee, a hairstylist and makeup artists and these are the five products I’m reaching for every day.
Milk Makeup Cloud Glow
This is my primer. It’s a foaming primer, which sounds weird, but it’s so hydrating and makes your skin feel fresh and clean before you even start. If your skin doesn’t feel good under your makeup, nothing else matters. This is the foundation of everything. Literally.
Auric Glow
This does like three things in one, which is my love language for a product. It hydrates, it highlights, it smooths. I use it as a foundation sometimes and sometimes as a cheek highlight. The finish is dewy and coverage is sheer. Not shimmer, not glitter, just glow. This brand was created by Samantha Ravndahl, a makeup artist I’ve been following since her early YouTube days. Watching her build this brand and now actually using her products in my kit is a full circle moment.
Rare Beauty Liquid Luminizer
Goes on the cheeks. Clean, dewy, doesn’t look glittery. Rare Beauty is Selena Gomez’s brand and they actually do the work when it comes to nonprofit and giving back, so there’s that too.
NYX Wonder stick
It’s a little warmer for my skin tone, but I LIKE a warmer finish over a cool tone one me because low key I am wearing self tanner a lot.This is such a solid product. Sometimes the best tools aren’t the most expensive ones. This is proof.
One/Size Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray
Here’s the thing. Even though I love a dewy look, sometimes makeup needs to actually STAY on your face. So, you powder it. But then it looks flat and crepey. This spray goes over the powder and brings the dewy back while setting everything at once. It’s the cheat code for “I want glow but also longevity.”
These five have earned their spot because they work in building my ideal skin look, not because they look pretty on a shelf. That’s what matters to me. You can shop my Summer Favorites HERE <3
