Influencers have the ability to focus on that product on which they can build their brand. For Shea Marie, it was bathing suits. She launched her luxury swimwear line, Same Swim, in 2015 and since then her designs have been seen on the likes of Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber. Sold on their website and through retailers like Shopbop, the swimsuits range from $ 20 for a top to $ 220 for a piece. I’m waiting patiently for Shea Marie to launch her next big project. Maybe it will be a line of shoes inspired by the holidays?
Have you ever wanted to know what is really inside the makeup bags of women in the fashion industry? Now you can with WhoWhatWear UK’s Show Me The (Makeup) Money series. I was featured in it a few weeks ago (full post here), but I also wanted to personally share the full contents of my makeup bag with you guys! It’s very difficult for me to narrow down my favorites to just a few, as there are so many good ones. However, these are the products that I look for time and time again, especially when I’m on the road. This is what is in my makeup bag …
Starting with the bag itself, I have loved this ready-to-go bag from Amazon. No more fumbling around and searching for the product you need. This one opens up on a flat surface so you can lay everything out and pack it up in a pinch. The silver color also makes it very easy to spot!
Dr. Jart Ceramidin Cream, $ 48
I have used this face cream for years because it is so light and hydrating. It has never irritated my skin or caused a breakout. I wear it all year round no matter where I go because it also creates the perfect base for makeup.
Dior Backstage Foundation for Face and Body, $ 40
Foundation is essential in my makeup routine, especially if I have an event or dinner to attend. I love this Dior foundation for its skin-like finish, which only improves throughout the day. If you prefer taller coverage, it can be built too, but it never seems too heavy or caked.
Make Up Forever HD Concealer, $ 28
This concealer is the best high coverage concealer I have ever used. It is incredibly long-lasting and provides amazing coverage on blemishes and dark circles. I love how it doesn’t wrinkle or sink into fine lines.
Tatcha Luminous Skin Mist, $ 48
I also always carry the Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist for an instant skin refresher. It is ideal for preparing the skin before makeup and smoothing makeup during the day. It always leaves me with a radiant, dewy glow.
Make Up For Ever Artist Pencil, $ 18
This product is my go-to when I’m short on time. It is a multipurpose product for lips, eyebrows, eyeliner, blush and contour. The smooth texture makes it easy to blend over the lids and glides beautifully on the lips. They are the best $ 18 you will spend on your beauty routine!
Tom Ford Lumiere Lip, $ 55
When I need something moisturizing, I always look for Tom Ford Lumiere lip color. It enhances the natural color of my lips, but also works as a topper without smudging the underlying lipstick when my lips feel dry.
MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lip Color, $ 22
There’s nothing I love more than a matte lip, and I swear by MAC’s Retro Matte Liquid Lip Color. It is super long-lasting and wears evenly and smoothly while making my lips plump and plump.
Givenchy Prisme Blush Highlight & Structure Powder Blush Duo, $ 46
I trust Givenchy’s Prisme Blush highlighter and structural powder duo to bring life and color to my complexion. The texture is so creamy and it looks super natural. I usually use the colors on the left as a blush, the ones on the right as a highlighter, but I also blend them together for a cool glow.
