Better of 2024 Make-up

Listed below are a few of my picks for the most effective of 2024 Make-up.

Buxom Energy Line Lip Liners

The Buxom Energy Line Lip Liners are my favourite lip pencil system and have been for the previous a number of years. The shade vary may be very restricted, sadly, and will actually use extra cool tones. Hush Hush Henna (pinky-brown that’s neutral-warm on me), Magnetic Mauve (a my lips however higher shade, a cool toned pink mauve lilac), Highly effective Plum (vampy plum), and Recharged Ruby (cool toned crimson) are my most used shades. I flip to Nyx and Half-Magic Magnificence for the opposite colours I want in my lip pencils arsenal, comparable to blue, purple, and black. Does the liner plump my lips? Not that I can inform, however the system stays put for me and provides me good, crisp lip strains. I additionally admire the mixing brush on the opposite aspect of the pencil for once I’m trying an ombre.

LYS Triple Repair Blurring and Hydrating Pores and skin Tint Basis Stick

I’m so grateful to the individuals who beneficial the LYS Triple Repair Blurring and Hydrating Pores and skin Tint Basis Stick with me! I like stick foundations and I want them for each day put on as a result of sticks are quick to use, very like a pressed powder basis is for me. There’s been a gap in my make-up assortment ever since Milk Make-up Flex Stick was discontinued. I looked for replacements however nothing labored nicely for me till LYS. What amazes me is that it really works greatest with no primer beneath! In order that’s a step I can skip with LYS. Love this!

The Finest Method to Apply Stick Basis

I’ve discovered one of the simplest ways to use stick basis for me is to not drag the stick on my face. As an alternative, I run a brush throughout the stick, then buff the product into my pores and skin. I exploit far much less product than if I had straight utilized the follow my pores and skin. I exploit the Anisa Pinnacle Basis Brush (I gained this in a giveaway and would completely repurchase) to use LYS, in addition to most of my foundations lately. KVD Lock-It Edge Concealer Brush #40 is what I exploit round my brows and eyes to mix out my basis.

What About Below Eyes?

I’m 46 years previous, so the pores and skin below my eyes is delicate and vulnerable to creasing or caking if I don’t delicately apply the thinnest layers of product in that space. I discover that the LYS Triple Repair Blurring and Hydrating Pores and skin Tint Basis Stick works greatest if I don’t apply it there. As an alternative, I apply Uncommon Magnificence Constructive Gentle Below Eye Brightener below my eyes to attenuate creasing. The Eye Brightener blends into the Stick basis with no points.

One/Measurement Consideration Seeker 3D Blush Trio

The most effective blush system that I’ve discovered all yr is the One/Measurement 3D Blush Trio in Consideration Seeker. The cream system melts into my pores and skin to present me a phenomenal, cool toned pink blush. The coordinating powder is nice for setting the cream. Consideration Seeker blush has gotten me extra compliments and questions on what blush I’m carrying than anything this yr. Sadly, the whole line leans very heat, so I don’t foresee myself choosing up every other shades.

The most effective factor concerning the One/Measurement 3D Blush Trio is that it really has a transparent lid to stop any powder from mixing into the cream part. Usually I don’t purchase a mixture of cream and powder except the palette presents that characteristic.

One/Measurement On Til’ Daybreak Setting Spray

My choose for the most effective setting spray of the yr is the One/Measurement On Til’ Daybreak Setting Spray. It really works in sizzling, humid Florida and retains my make-up in place by way of yoga. It does make me really feel like I’m spraying a can of hairspray on my face. My tip is to take a deep breath after which maintain it earlier than you spray your face. After you spray your face, use a small fan to assist it dry down rapidly.

Whereas I do nonetheless use City Decay All Nighter Setting Spray, it’s solely with my eyeshadows to assist intensify shade. It doesn’t irritate my eyes, so it’s excellent for me to make use of to foil eyeshadows, or create liner with an eyeshadow.

VE Cosmetics Harmless Lip Gloss

The VE Cosmetics Harmless Lip Gloss (obtained in PR) is my favourite gloss shade and system of the yr, adopted intently by Half-Magic Magnificence Magic Drip Glitter Lip Gloss. Harmless wins as a result of it’s a fascinating multichrome gloss that shifts shades of pink, lilac, blue, turquoise, and purple. It appears superb on high of each shade. It’s non sticky, very pigmented, and really lengthy carrying for a gloss.

Half-Magic Magnificence Magic Drip Glitter Lip Gloss

The Half-Magic Magnificence Magic Drip Glitter Lip Gloss is a really shut second to VE Cosmetics in system. It’s a really clean system with multidimensional sparkle that’s not sticky or cheesy. It doesn’t migrate round my face onto my enamel or chin. I put on Y2k Cherub (cool pink with multidimensional sparkle), Frosty B*tch (impartial icy peach with multi-colored displays), and Downside Little one (sheer black with multi-colored sparkle). Nonetheless, it’s a really restricted shade vary and I want to see them add a cool-toned crimson.

Y2k Cherub is nice for cool-toned make-up appears.  I like Frosty B*tch for impartial to heat leaning appears. Downside Little one is ideal for once I need to put on black.

Black Moon Cat’s Meow Palette

I used to be despatched the Black Moon Cat’s Meow Palette in PR, nonetheless I’d have bought this for myself. I did buy the palette to present to a good friend of mine. You possibly can see my reside brush swatches right here. It’s an superior, distinctive, cool-toned leaning palette. When you like Black Moon’s matte eyeshadow system and funky tones, you’ll benefit from the Cat’s Meow palette.

Last Ideas

I hope you get pleasure from my winter make-up inspiration and the mini Better of 2024 magnificence opinions that I shared.

2024 has been essentially the most difficult yr of my life and I’m grateful to be closing the chapter on it. I’m able to see what 2025 will convey.

Dave and I had a really low key vacation season. We’ve centered on spending high quality time with our chosen household, associates, and yoga neighborhood. High quality time with family members is what it’s all about for me. How about for you?
