BEAUTY : MAKEUP FOR A NATURAL LOOK

beauty : must have makeup products

We here at ELECTRIC love good makeup products that allow us to actually wear makeup while still allowing us to create a more natural and simple look. The products on our list are perfect for the days when you simply do not feel like taking the time to put on your "full face" and are looking to do something quick and easy. Another reason that we love the products on this list is because they are not heavy, in the sense that when wearing them you do not feel like you are wearing a ton of makeup. This factor is a HUGE plus for anyone who knows anything about makeup - sometimes the feel of makeup on your skin can become irritating. Products that are airy and light on the skin definitely get the win!

MAC

Matte Lipstick (Viva Glam II)

$17.50

The MAC Viva Glam II Matte Lipstick is our absolute favorite lipstick color! It goes with everything and gives the perfect natural lip addition to any makeup look. Although I do sometimes use this color during my "full face" looks, I primarily use this product for a simple daily look. Whether I'm running errands or going to work, this is the perfect shade. It will definitely round out a more natural makeup look.

E.L.F.

Lip & Cheek Duo Stick (Natural)

$3

We love this Lip & Cheek Duo Stick because it is the most natural lip liner you will ever use. Although this product is a duo stick and can be used as a lip liner and a cheek enhancer, we actually only use it as lip liner. We really like that even though it is from a separate brand, this lip liner matches perfectly with the MAC Viva Glam II lipstick. We like to use this product as a lip enhancer with the Viva Glam II lipstick when we want a more pouty lip look.

MAYBELLINE

Dream Matte Mousse (Porcelain Ivory - Light 1)

$10

The main reason why we love the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse so much is because it is just that - a mousse. An airy, light, and easy to apply option when it comes to foundations. This "mousse" makeup is perfect for a quick and easy all-over face blend and you will feel as if you aren't wearing anything at all. We recommend that for best use, this product be applied with a simple makeup blender.

TARTE

Tartiest Creamy Matte Lip Paint (Color: Birthday Suit)

$20

This Matte Lip Paint is perfect for a simple day to night makeup look. It is easy to apply with the built in applicator and rolls seamlessly across the lips. It works as an almost lip stain which is also great because the stain-like factor gives this product a long lasting effect. We also do recommend purchasing the Birthday Suit color as well because it definitely can work well with all skin tones. It is rose-color based and goes well with the natural look.
