Best of Anastasia Beverly Hills

Anastasia started with brows and she is the queen. Some of her brow products, the modern renaissance palette and her blush trio are all in my ride or die blog. Still, she has some incredible single shadows, highlights and more so I decided to do a dedicated blog to show my love for Anastasia. For the single shadows, I've starred my absolute faves as usual and I did not choose any from the Modern Renaissance palette because I think you should just get that.

Lips 

So to be honest, I really only like the glosses.

Fave colors are dainty, orchid and metallic rose

Favorite Makeup Geek Shadows



Makeup Geek has some of my very favorite eyeshadows. They are pigmented, blend easily and the best part is how affordable they are. They have some of the best neutral matte shades ever and their foiled shades are just...I want to say orgasmic. Not quite that, but you get the gist. You definitely do NOT need all of these as some of these are fairly similar. And a lot of these are personal preference as I really love warm toned browns. But I did add some pops of color and cool toned transitions! I've starred my all time favorite must haves. You really can't go wrong with any MUG shadow.

My Colourpop Faves



Colourpop is a magical brand of makeup. It's so affordable, the quality is amazing and they come out with an overwhelming amount of products. I decided to do a dedicated Colourpop Favorites blog. Which could change any minute, because did I mention they have a trillion new products launching every single day? If you haven't checked out colourpop you really must. And although their liquid lips aren't my fave formula, if you are looking to try a specific color such as a bright red or deep purple, but you don't want to spend a ton of money then this is the way to go. You will probably see that I am a fan of nudes. But colorpop has so many fun and unique lip colors.

Note: The concealers are really nice as is there brow pencil and eyeliners. I'm not going to recommend specific colors for brows and concealer since that will be based on your skin tone and brow color. Eyeliners i love the honeydude, mr,bing and the black, but the fun colors are great as well! Oh and their brow gel is bomb and super affordable.

I have starred my all time favorites

My Ride or Die Makeup

Carrie Bradshaw loved her shoes and I love my makeup. I attended Cinema makeup school, but I've also learned a lot from my favorite Youtube beauty guru's. Honestly, binge watching Jaclyn Hill and Nikkietutorials can save you a lot of money from makeup school, which means more money for makeup!

Friends and family also ask me for recommendations so I wanted to make my absolute ride or die favorites. I have pretty dry skin so if you have oily skin, these may not all be your jam. I've also included links to purchase these items. You're welcome.

Foundations

Note: I have a few favorite foundations. Two liquid and two stick. I am a full coverage kind of girl so if you're looking for a natural no makeup makeup type of look then these are probably not your new faves. If I had to pick one favorite it would be the Dior Forever. But I also love mixing the Dior and Too Faced Together or for the most flawless full coverage ever, vanish stick and then a pump of Dior forever on your beauty blender to blend it all together. Jaclyn Hill taught me this.
