Who else feels like 2017 was yesterday? I was looking at my makeup a few days ago, and I realized that I scored so many gems last year. Some of my favorite makeup to date was released last year, and I never really shared my favorites. It’s March 🙃 but it’s not too late to share my top favorite beauty products in 2017!
Concealer:
Wet N Wild Photo Focus Concealer in Light Ivory
This is great for dry under eyes because the creasing isn’t intense. Said to be a dupe for the Tarte Shape Tape concealer!
Foundation:
Maybelline Dream Cushion Fresh Face Liquid Foundation in 20 Classic Ivory
This is my fave light coverage foundation. Love popping this one for a fresh faced (hehe) look!
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation in 170
You know I have to show support for Rihanna at all times. This foundation is literally a filter!
Powder:
Cover FX Illuminating Setting Powder
Powders are dry skin’s worst enemy, except for this one!
WNW Photo Focused Pressed Powder
Best. Drugstore. Powder. Ever.
Mascara:
L’Oreal Lash Paradise
For that fluffy lash look without the lash glue or annoying bands!
Benefit Roller Lash
Probably the only high-end mascara worth splurging on.
Eye Shadow:
Dose of Colors Marvelous Mauves
Mauvey goodness!
Too Faced Peachy Mattes
If I were a palette, I’d be this one.
Lips:
Okay, so I have a slight obsession with lipsticks…
MUFE Artist Liquid Matte
THROW AWAY ALL OF YOUR LIQUID LIPSTICKS. This is the only one you need.
Urban Decay x Jean-Michel Basquiat Vice Lipstick in Abstract
This lipstick feels delicious on the lips. That is all.
Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb
No one can deny this is the best gloss of all time. Bet.
WNW MegaLast Matte Lipsticks
Tbh my lifetime fave matte lipsticks. I’m in love with the other formulas, too!
Bronzer:
Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer
Get that tropical tan and scent with ease!
Urban Decay x Jean-Michel Basquiat Gallery Blush Palette
As if the Basquiat aspect of this weren’t great enough, this palette has become my fave cheek palette.
Highlighter:
Smashbox Spotlight Pearl Palette (Collaboration with Casey Holmes)
This is my fave highlighter formula on this Earth. I own manyyy highlighters, jus sayin’.
Urban Decay Afterglow 8-Hour Highlighter in Sin
Ugh in the best way.
Setting Spray:
Milani Make It Last Setting Spray
I’m strongly convinced this is God’s saliva. It’s too good to just be man made.
Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray
Someone please tell Wendy to call this the For Life setting spray.
Brows:
e.l.f. Lock On Liner & Brow Cream in Medium Brown
This trumps Dip Brow.
L’Oréal Brow Stylist in Brunette
The fact that I’ve bought this pencil 5 times and took it to study abroad with me should be enough praise.
Brushes:
Sigma
The hype is REAL.
Wet N Wild
Affordable and beautifully blends eyeshadow and blushes, she’s Miss Wet N Wild Brushes.
Primer:
Becca First Light Priming Filter Face Primer
What are you waiting for if you have dry skin??
Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden
Your eyeshadow deserves this.

I’m going to be making individual blog post reviews for each of these products once a week. I have a few series planned to go live first, so stay tuned (wink) I want my blog to become a makeup review resource for popular and indie beauty products. Is there anything you enjoyed in 2017 that wasn’t on my top favorite beauty products in 2017list? Let me know in the comments below so I can try it and review it!
