The Makeup Show: Shopping Guide




Shopping at The Makeup Show can be fun but slightly overwhelming. Making a list is a must and sticking to it is even harder to do! Last year I gave myself and budget and I managed to stick to it. I can recall @TheGorgeousBlog raving about Keyvn Aucoin blushes that were on sale for just $5! Yes, $5 and I was at my max. I found the willpower to say NO! A very hard task, but I did it. 

This year, (so far) here's my list.  I know it's going to increase because it's under my spending limit but whatever my budget is... I'm sticking to it!


SB serves up the BEST, most pigmented all natural lip colors I have ever seen. I'm excited to pick up their new Spring Collection color in Lucy.

I have fallen in love with MUFE's HD Foundations and the Aqua Shadow Pencils. 

Skincare glory!!! The Drying Lotion and the Botanical Facial Gel make my list this year.

I'm in love with these brushes and can't stop raving about them. The Green Bambu Vegan brushes are amazing and I'm super excited to get the Yellow Bambu Brushes that will be released at the show!

With a brand celebrating 85 years, you can't go wrong with purchasing their products! My must have foundation are the Celebre HD Foundations. I'm a lover and cream based products and this oil-free foundation is amazing. It covers well and looks fabulous on all skin types. It is by far a must-have staple for my kit.

The HD Pro Powder Foundation Palette is a must-have. The range is amazing and simply gives you just what you need. No shifting around with compacts and jars, it's an all-in-one palette that covers a great range of shades. The coverage and setting power is great!

The Alcone Non-Latex Sponges are super! Super in size and texture. They're not like what you get from the Dollar Store. Oh, believe me. They're water-based so you won't have them sucking up all your product!
