I have a lot of makeup products. I love the ability to try new products so that I can share my thoughts and I’m also grateful to receive a decent amount of products from brands as gifts. But the truth is I only have one face and there are only so many days of the week when I wear makeup. In fact, I genuinely prefer to keep my skin free from makeup as much as I can, and though I do love the process of applying makeup, most of the time I can’t wait to get it off. But despite all of this there are a handful of makeup products that have become my go-to products. While I like to try new things here and there, when I’m getting ready for an important event and I know I want my makeup to look on point, these are the go-to products that I am reaching or that come through every single time.
