Hi everyone! Go ahead and click right on the names of the items to shop them!

Buxom lip plumping cream in “Hot Toddy”

It is so smooth and creamy, stays on for a hot minute, and definitely plumps your lips. This color is the perfect nude.

Maybelline lifter gloss in “Moon” and “Topaz”

Amazing Fenty gloss dupe!!!

Makeup Forever Artist Color Pencil in “Wherever Walnut”

This lip pencil combined with the two glosses mentioned above is EVERYTHING.

It CC Cream

This is my favorite casual foundation. It covers just enough and is so light on the skin.

Sephora Clear and Cover Acne Treatment Concealer

This concealer SAVED me when my skin was filled with acne. I literally only wore this on my acne with mascara and it hid it SO WELL.

Anastasia Dip Brow Gel in “Chocolate”

This is a great product for people that don’t feel they need to fill in their eyebrows completely, but still want to give them definition.

Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in “Sensual”

I have literally been using this since high school and whenever I try a new blush, I always come back to this one.

Physician’s Formula Butter Bronzer

This is a great dupe for the Chanel bronzer.

Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Highlighting Powder in “Heat Wave”

I have NEVER gotten so many compliments on anything more when I wear this highlight.

Tula “Face Filter” Primer (use code ANNAXMARGARET for $$ off)

This primer saved my dry skin!! This combined with the moisturizer below is everything.

Tula Hydrating Day and Night Cream (use code ANNAXAMARGARET)

I’ve talked about this for years, and I don’t think I’ll ever stop. This is my holy grail moisturizer and I truly think it’s worth every penny.

Accelerated Aesthetics Acne Foaming Wash

So my acne got super bad recently. I started using this and I swear 2 days later, I was a new woman. Never going back.

Let me know if you use any of these and what you think! They are all also linked in my LiketoKnow.it profile!

Stay confident, curious, and kind,

Updated Makeup Routine

Hi Everyone! I have been getting a lot of questions about my makeup, what I use, and how I use it recently, so I figured I would answer all of your questions here!

I also posted a video of how I use all of these products! Just click HERE!

I recently changed it up about 2 weeks ago and I am loving both how my skin looks and feels with makeup and how it reacts to it after I take the makeup off!

My Skin

I have dry, combination, acne-prone skin for reference. So if you have this kind of skin, then the face makeup I use is the stuff for you! I will link everything I use throughout this post, so don’t worry if you want to shop while you read!

Let’s Get Started!

Face Prep:

To prep my face before I even apply makeup, I use the Tula Discovery Kit. I am telling you guys, this kit has changes my skin for the better!

Primer:

I have recently been using the Elizabeth Mott “Thank Me Later” face primer. It claims to be Pore-minimizing, Mattifying, and Long-lasting! I got a small sample in an Ipsy bag a couple months ago, and it has lasted me so long. The smallest amount goes a long way!

Foundation:

My skin type: I have dry, acne-prone skin, so I like to wear full coverage foundation that keeps my skin hydrated. The Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation is the foundation that I always have some of because it is my staple, I wear it in shade Light-Medium Neutral. Recently I have been trying to expand my foundation horizons and found the Nars Natural Radient Foundation in Deauville or Vienna, or I mix the two depending on how tan I am. This foundation is full-coverage for a minimal amount of product. It stays on and doesn’t define some lines that i have on my face either! It also doesn’t feel like I am wearing a full coverage foundation! unadjustednonraw_thumb_125 unadjustednonraw_thumb_126 Shop Now!                                                                      Shop Now!

Concealer:

So I wasa huge fan of the L’Oreal Age Rewind concealer and then I hopped on the Tarte Shape-Tape concealer and I LOVE both, so I still totally recommend those, but since I descovered the Maelle Secret Illuminator, I am OBSESSED. It covers what I want it to cover and it BRIGHTENS my face where I want it brightened. I cannot recommend this stuff enough.

**With any Maelle product purchase, use code ANNA10 for $10 off!
