My Favorite Makeup Products You Should Try Now

Hi loves! I’m excited to share some of my favorite makeup products you need to try today. BUT FIRST…… It’s been a minute since we’ve spoke, and I honestly have just been trying to figure out some things and how I’m going to achieve those goals and desires. But I’ve missed writing and sharing. But I’m back and getting back on a set schedule with blogging because truth be told I love what I do! I love creating guides, reviews, advice and sharing it all with you. I’ve been trying to balance the social media influencer and book campaigns and my blog that I realized I need to be more organized and focused. So, I have my schedule set and every Tuesday I’ll publish a blog post. 

Boxy Charm

Now back to our regularly scheduled post. I always get asked what makeup I have on, what are my favorites, and what’s worth the splurge. So first, I will have to say Boxy Charm is an incredible brand to try. You get 5 full sized beauty (makeup or skincare) products every month for only $25! That can’t be beat! As a Boxy charm influencer, every month they gift me with one of their box variations and I love trying news brands, brands I haven’t heard of, and it’s definitely allowed me to branch out and get more creative with my routine. I also don’t get any commission from you signing up with BoxyCharm, I’m solely an influencer for them and create content for them. 

But if that’s not the route you want to take, I’ll share some of my must have products, my favorite makeup products and I’ll link some below too through LikeToKnow.It where I do receive a small commission if you decide to purchase a product at no extra charge to you at all. Makeup is such a fun, expressive art and you shouldn’t be hard on yourself if you don’t think a look will work on you or you can’t master the technique down. It takes time honestly just go into your bathroom and have fun. There have been plently of days where I will do my makeup for absolutely no reason except to try a new technique or color. So have fun and just create.

Favorite Makeup Products For Your Eyes

• Rare Beauty Liquid Liner (Easiest Liner I’ve EVER USED)
• Wet n Wild Breakup Proof Eyeliner
• Kylie Cosmetics Extended Peach & Bronze Palettes (pigments incredible)
• Naked 2 Palette by Urban Decay
• Venus III Eyeshadow Palette (bold colors)
• Ardell False Eyelashes
• Lisa Lashes by The LadyCode Shop (Beauty Queen, Taurus & Rebel are my faves)

Having done Ombre Powder Brows to my eyebrows allows me to literally not have to touch my brows at all and 90% of the time I have on lash extensions as well, but I did share my favorite makeup products in the lash department as well. Ardell is a fan favorite and can be found at your local CVS or ordered on Amazon but Lisa Lashes are just another world. They last a long time, the lash glue is clear so no white mess, and the lashes are just perfect! These are literally my ride or dies. I’ll try new products and incorporate them into my routine but these are staples I’ll always ride with. My favorite makeup products are hands down what best works on my skin, my skin tone, and easy to use. 

That’s all you need to do is just find what works for you. If you prefer drug store makeup and it works on your skin then rock that. If your favorite makeup products are from the more high end designer brands rock that. Literally makeup is just a tool to showcase your personality, your inner beauty. It’s not what makes you or defines you. I hope you enjoy me sharing my favorite makeup products with y’all today and can’t wait to see all your looks. Tag me @thekarengiuliana on Instagram with your favorites. Let me know in the comments as well what your favorite makeup products are too, cause I’m always looking!

XOXO
