15 Makeup Products Worth Splurging On This Summer
Every girl knows the struggle of the price tag that makeup comes with. While you can definitely save money and go the cheaper route on certain makeup products, there are some makeup products that are simply worth the money. How do you know which makeup products worth splurging on to get? Just read this article!
1. Urban Decay Face Primer
I used to think that face primers were a waste of money and they didn’t really do anything. However, now that I have come across Urban Decay’s primer, I take back every bad thing I’ve said about primer. It makes your foundation go on so smoothly, reduces the look of pores, and helps keep your makeup in place all day long. Give it a try, you won’t regret it with these makeup products worth splurging on.
2. Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray
This goes hand-in-hand with their primer. This is a setting spray that you see every beauty guru on YouTube using and now I know why. This sprays on so light and keeps your makeup in place and looking like you just put it on all day long. This, along with the primer, is highly recommended for makeup products worth splurging on.
3. Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation
This is another product that I have personally used and I am so glad I did. It’s a super high coverage foundation, but it’s lightweight and doesn’t look cakey. If you’re in the market for a new foundation, definitely grab this one.
4. Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Concealer
This product used in conjunction with the foundation listed above is amazing. I have struggled to find a concealer that actually covered my dark circles and this one did the trick. It also lasts a while because a little goes a long way with this stuff. It is definitely worth every penny.
5. Urban Decay All Nighter Waterproof Setting Powder
This is a new product that I cannot wait to go get, especially now that it’s summertime. Whether or not you use a waterproof foundation, just put this setting power on top and it will instantly make any foundation waterproof. This will be perfect for beach days and days when you’re out and about sweating in the hot sun. I already know this product is going to be life-changing.
6. Dior Hydra Life BB Cream
This is definitely pricy, but it is the best BB cream you will ever use. It goes on smooth, hydrates your skin, and gives a healthy-looking glow. It is even infused with SPF 30 to protect your skin from the harsh sun. Wear this to the beach or every day with Urban Decay’s waterproof setting powder and you’ll be good to go!
7. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
Mascara is not normally something I would recommend spending too much money on when there are perfectly fine mascaras available for about $6 at the drug store, but I recently got this product as a sample and I was incredibly impressed at how well it works. It volumes, separates, coats, and curls your lashes to perfection. It also comes in a waterproof version, which is perfect for this time of year.
8. Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow
This is a tinted brow gel that tames your brows while depositing the perfect amount of color to fill in those sparse areas and make them appear more full. This will even save you time in your beauty routine because you won’t have to fill in your brows before using brow gel – with this product you can do both at the same time. It’s definitely worth the money because not only does it work well, but it comes out to about the same price after buying a brow pencil and brow gel separately.
9. Benefit Cosmetics Porefessional Face Primer
This is another popular face primer that works wonders. It minimizes the look of pores and fine lines while helping your foundation go on smooth and stay all day. Definitely give this product a try!
10. Tarte Aspyn Ovard’s Eye Shadow Pallet
Aspyn Ovard is a popular beauty guru and vlogger on YouTube. She often works with Tarte and just recently came out with her own eye shadow pallet. It holds beautiful, neutral colors with a bit of shimmer, as well as a highlighter and contour color. I normally wouldn’t be one to splurge on eye shadow, but this pallet is the best one I have ever used – worth every penny!
11. Tarte Rainforest Of The Sea Foundation
This product is weightless, has a buildable coverage, and looks naturally flawless. It’s also hypoallergenic and vegan, so this is perfect for those with sensitive skin. It is also infused with SPF 15 to help protect your skin from the harsh sun. What’s not to love about this product?
12. Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Bronzer
This award-winning matte bronzer gives the perfect sun kissed glow. Simply dust this product across your cheeks, chin and forehead for a bronzed summer goddess look. This used in conjunction with the product listed below is a match made in heaven.
13. Benefit Cosmetics GALifornia Blush
This product is the perfect pink blush with a golden undertone for a perfectly sun kissed look. I have had trouble finding a blush that actually shows up without being too pigmented and when I came upon this I was sold. It gives the perfect amount of pigment without being too much. Definitely grab this next time you’re at Sephora.
14. Tarte Shape Tape Concealer
This is another product that all the beauty gurus on YouTube use and obsess over. It gives a really nice highlight while concealing dark circles – it’s the best of both worlds.
15. Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
This award-winning product is a silky powder with sheer coverage to set your makeup and help it last all day. This is yet another product a lot of the beauty gurus use and for good reason. Be sure to grab makeup products worth splurging on during your next Sephora trip!
