Beauty Q&A (Edition 3)

 Remember when I said I was going to do these Beauty Q&A's ALL the time? Ha ya..that didn't really happen. I did EDITION ONE & EDITION TWO a loooong time ago. 

Well...finally...I bring you EDITION THREE! 

I decided to answer the TOP 2 QUESTIONS I get asked most frequently:

Oh man, this is really a hard one. I have SO MANY products in my makeup drawer 

(and in my closet..ok AND under my bed). But the THREE I can't live without/wouldn't dare go out of the house without putting these on are:

ONE--MASCARA

My current fave is the {1}Benefit "They're Real" Mascara in black. It thickens, lengthens and stays on ALL DAY without smudging (a must)!

**Another one I love lately is the {2} Revlon PhotoReady 3D Mascara - GREAT for the $$**

TWO--CONCEALER

I would never leave the house without concealer. Nope..no way..unless there was a fire or something.

My two faves are:

{3} Bobbi Brown Concealer/Correcter Kit (my go-to)

and 

{4} E.L.F Studio Complete Coverage Concealer (it's cheap & it covers!)

THREE--MOISTURIZER w/ SPF

Moisturizing my face EVERYday is a must must. And I try to make sure that whatever moisturizer I buy has SPF in it (cause who wants their face looking like a baseball mitt later in life?).

My current loves:

{5} Bobbi Brown Extra Balm SPF 25 - which yes, is pretty pricey...BUT I cannot STRESS how amazing this balm is. It is HEAVEN in a jar. It makes my skin feel moisturized and dewy all day. Plus, it increases skin firmness! It lasts me about 6 months (so I can buy one for my b-day and one for Christmas).

and

{6} Olay Complete w/ SPF 15 (I get the sensitive skin--but they have ones for regular skin too)

YES!! YES!!

Primers are a MUST-HAVE. If you have never used one, you are missing out!

I will say this though, you don't need a primer for EVERY part of your face. 

There ARE mascara primers (which I personally think are useless)

There ARE lip primers (which don't do anything)

The TWO I absolutely love & use are:

FACE PRIMER

The face primer is a MUST. It will fill in all the little lines, pores and holes on your face so that your foundation goes on SMOOTHER. You can immediately see the difference when you use one. 

So use it! :)

**I love Laura Mercier's. It's the only one I use-it primes my face, and makes my makeup stay on longer through the day. Plus it protects my skin w/ Vit A, C &E. 

Haven't found a cheaper one I like yet.

EYE PRIMER

I don't know WHAT I did in the days before I discovered Eye Primer. My eyeshadow would melt, crease and basically disappear during the day. Not anymore. I put it on before my shadow, let it dry, put my eyeshadow on and POOF! It is like a little daily miracle.

**Again, Laura Mercier's is the best for me. It just DOES the job & comes in lots of colors, which I love, because everyone's eyes are different shades. I use the shade BUFF.

So there you have it! If you have any Beauty Q&A's for me...send them to JennaTheWife@gmail.com and I'll be happy to answer them! I hope to do one of these at least once a month! :)
