moisturizer
(with SPF!)
ALWAYS before your makeup.
concealer
To hide undereye shadows and imperfections. I really like The Eraser, by Tarte. It's super smooth.
cream blush
(yes, cream)
I use M.A.C Blushcreme in Posey and I have been on the same pot forever. A little dab'll do ya.
shimmer stick or cream
Why, you ask? A subtle shimmer (NOT stripper glitter) reflects light and attracts the eye. Swipe some in the arch of your eyebrow and on your cheekbone, above your blush. I like Smashbox's Artificial Light for its iridescence.
mascara!
This product is my biggest and best beauty secret. I get compliments on my eyelashes all the time, (I've been asked if they were fake more than once) and I owe it to this mascara. The primer adds visible extensions to your lashes and the comb that applies color separates them. If you want natural looking lashes, this product is not for you.

a glossy, moisturizing lip balm
My gloss of choice is C.O. Bigelow's Mentha Lip Tint. It adds color, shine, moisture, AND a minty scent to your kiss. It comes in multiple colors, but my fave is the more cherry-tinged No. 1138.
