Four Makeup Must-Haves

Have you ever gone to Target (or Walgreens or M.A.C. or wherever you buy your makeup) and bought something you were super excited about, and went home to try it, but was so disappointed by its performance? AH! I've done this so, so, so, soooo many times. I am fairly gullible and I believe with all my heart that every mascara that says will "extend your lashes 10X!" or "lasts 24 hours" or whatever the impossible claim may be.
So, as I sit in front of my mirror every morning, I realize that I will go frantic if I cannot find any one of these four items in my makeup stash and I wanted to share them with you because it has taken me trial and error and countless dollars to find my favorite items. Hopefully this will also save you from wasting (some of) your time and money on useless items. Also, I don't believe in wasting money on expensive makeup (especially 'cause I'm a poor college student). Creating the same looks with drug store makeup is feasible and affordable. These four items have made my MUST-HAVE list for an everyday look:

1. Eye Shadow Quad

This is my absolute favorite color scheme because it is neutral. You can keep it light for day and darken it up for the evening. Either way, its cheap, its easy and its versatile.
Revlon 12-Hour Colorstay in Coffee Bean. $4.99 @ Target.


2. Eyeliner

I need my eyeliner. I think that eyeliner is the most important art expression when it comes to makeup. You can do so much with it and change it so drastically depending on your mood or time of day. My absolute favorite eyeliner is Maybelline Line Stiletto. I am in LOVE with this line of eyeliner because it glides smooth, it is easy to control when drawing thin or thick and it lasts.
Maybelline Line Stiletto in Blackest Black. $5.94 @ Target.


3. Mascara

Similar to the perfect boyfriend, every girl is on the lookout for the perfect mascara. We take our makeup seriously and mascara is the most serious of it all. Mascara can make or break a look in my opinion because it must extend lashes above the eyeliner no matter how dramatic the line. I love wearing a dramatic look which usually requires a thicker line of eyeliner and I need my lashes to look as fakely long as possible while still remaining real. This mascara has accomplished this for me without the clumps.
Maybelline Lash Stiletto Ultimate Length in Blackest Black. $6.94 @ Target.


4. Lipstick

The finishing touch to a look. Whether it be a fierce red, berry pink, or a nude color, it is still definitely a necessity. I prefer a berry pink color most days but will opt for a bright red when I'm feeling risky. My fav-
Mac Lipstick in Girl About Town-Fabulous Fuchsia. $14.50 @ Mac.
