My Favorite Beautycounter Products:

Makeup

My simple daily routine – 5 minutes

I NEVER let myself run out of these products. EVER.

Dew Skin tinted moisturizer. I wear shade 2 or 3 – read my review here.
Skin Twin Foundation. I wear 310. (This shade chart is handy.) I use this brush to apply for sheer coverage or this blender for more coverage.
Satin Blush in Nectar (it looks just like NARS Orgasm) OR Date for fall/winter.
Radiant Bronzer in Dune
Concealer Pen – I use the Light shade and I freaking love this concealer.
Brow Gel – Medium
Mascara – I use this 2-in-1 Honest Mascara. I apply the primer end, then a layer of Beautycounter Lengthening or Volumizing mascara, and then finish with a coat of the black Honest mascara. The BC mascara isn’t dark enough for me on its own, but I do like how it thickens, which is why I layer.
- If I want waterpoof, I wear Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes if I want waterproof. (Tip with Beautycounter mascaras: put it in your waistband while you get ready. The formula works best when it’s warmed up a bit!)
Lip Gloss – I am OBSESSED with Opal or Peony for summer. And I was NOT a lipgloss person before discovering Beautycounter’s lipgloss.

NOTES:

This post has a video showing how I apply my makeup.
If you’re looking to overhaul your makeup, the Flawless in Five set has everything you need for a simple, polished look and you save 20% off by buying it as a set.

Makeup I use when I’m doing a little more!

Mattifying powder. This has so many uses! Absorbing oil, setting make-up, blending eyeshadow. (Watch my tutorial here.)
Necessary Nudes Eyeshadow Palette – I am OBSESSED with this and use it every day. It’s a great option for eyeshadow junkies or people new to eyeshadow since it has so many options to help experiment to find what you like! (Watch my tutorial here.)
Liquid liner – This was the first liquid liner I’ve ever used and I LOVE it. Tips for applying liquid liner are in this post!
Brow Pencil – I use medium.
Matte Bronzer – I like it better than Hoola (and it’s safer). I tend to prefer Matte in the fall/winter and Radiant (linked above) in the spring/summer.
Highlighter – I was not a highlighter person until I got this! The three shades are perfect for making me look a little more alive, especially in the winter months.
Brightening Mist – helps set makeup and give it a nice even glow. I also use this in the afternoon/early evening when my skin starts to feel dry. We have radiators for heat and it’s SO drying!
Lip sheer – Twig is a great natural, daily color. And I get SO many compliments when I wear Rose or Lily.
Color Intense Lipstick – Brunch and Garden Party are my favorites!! I also Beautycounter Red — it’s the PERFECT red. I’m wearing Garden Party in the below picture.

- This is the blowdryer and curling iron I use.

Working with Beautycounter

I’m a Beautycounter consultant and I truly love working with this company. I love their mission, their products and I LOVE the peace of mind that all their products safe products. I’m super careful about what I put into my body by eating healthy food, so it’s kind of silly I wasn’t more careful about what I put on my body since it all absorbs right in. Not anymore.

I’ve made a conscious effort to switch to safer beauty and skincare products — and Beautycounter has been the best way for me to do that. I love their products and I don’t have to do a ton of research since I know all their stuff is safe. You can read more about why I became a consultant here.

I really love sharing the best Beautycounter products I discover with my blog readers. And I would love to help you make the switch to safer beauty products too (even if it’s a slow transition, which is what I’ve been doing! Small steps are better than no progress at all!).

Be sure to sign up for my Beautycounter newsletter to learn more about their products and so I can keep you posted on any ways to save money.
