Hi Darlings, today I felt so uninspired by new collections that I thought I could do something different, therefore I’m doing the If I Could Only Keep One Make Up Product TAG.
I was tagged by the lovely Nova from Super Nova Beauty, she’s absolutely amazing, she’s so kind and she works so hard on her blog, she posts all the time and I love her make up looks. I’m not saying this only because she tagged me, no, I actually read her blog all the time (it’s also one of the first I followed when I started). So go and check her blog you won’t regret it.
The TAG is pretty self-explanatory, you have to choose one product for each category of make up that you will keep if you had to get rid of your whole make up collection. I feel like some of these products won’t be a surprise for you if you follow my #MakeupMondays as I use them all the time.
Primer: Dr.Brandt Pores No More
I only have a sample of this and I only use it on special occasions because let’s be real, I would never buy the full size, it’s way too expensive, that being said I LOVE IT! It makes your skin super smooth and it keeps me matt through the day.
Foundation: Nars Sheer Glow Foundation
I recently got this one but I love it, it has the perfect medium coverage, it looks very natural and it keeps me matt for a long time. The shade Deauville matches me PERFECTLY which is a total added bonus.
Concealer: MAC Pro Longwear Concealer
Are you actually surprised!? I used this concealer for all my #MakeupMondays, I’ll leave you with the review I did a few months ago so you can see all the details about it.
Powder: Too Faced Peach Perfect Mattifying Setting Powder
Again another recent purchase and I’m totally hooked, I’ll leave the review of this one as well, this way I don’t say the same things over and over.
Bronzer: Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer
This bronzer has the perfect colour for my complexion, it blends seamlessly, it’s not too cool or too warm so I can use it both for bronzing and contouring. I don’t like the original packaging but I have it in a palette so it’s not a problem I have.
Blush: Benefit Rockateur Box o’ Powder Blush
In the same palette, there is also my favourite blush, Rockateur is the prettiest shade I have, it goes with everything, it’s a cool toned rose gold with a soft sheen. Love the way it looks on my complexion.
Highlighter: Fenty Beauty Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter in Lightning Dust / Fire Crystal
This was hard, like actually hard, I also adore the Smashbox Spotlight Palette in Pearl, but since I got the Fenty one I haven’t used the palette as much, I like the tone of the Fenty one a lot better and I also love that I can customize the shade to make it lighter for the day and more intense for nighttime. Again is my review for more details.
Brows: Maybelline Brow Precise Fiber Filler Mascara
On most days I use it in combination with a brow pencil but if I think about a “Do It All” product it would be this one. It sets the brow in place and it has some colours and fibre to fill them in. The final result is natural and bushy, exactly how I like them.
Eyeshadow: Anastasia Modern Renaissance Palette
I know this palette is not the most neutral I own but there isn’t a shade I don’t like in it, I love the formula and the colour selection, I feel like I can create such a good variety of looks. Added bonus, I love the pink packaging, even if it gets dirty super easily.
Eyeliner: Kat Von D Tattoo Liner
I use this eyeliner on a daily basis, I like the Stila Stay All Day slightly better but it’s harder to get in Italy so I tent to use this one, which is very similar. I like that it’s easy to use, it doesn’t bleed and it lasts forever, once you buy it you won’t need to buy a new one for at least a year which in my opinion totally pays it back. Here’s the review.
Mascara: Maybelline Total Temptation
Do I need to talk about this too?! Favourite mascara ever, I made all the people around me buy it. Volumizing, lengthening, it holds a curls, doesn’t bleed through the day and the pink packaging is stunning. Photos of before and after here.
Lipstick: MAC Satin Lipstick in Brave
This is my do it all lipstick, whether I’m wearing light or intense make up this lipstick works, it’s a light mauvey nude, it lasts a long time without being drying and I always get compliments when I wear it. It’s one of those shades that is always in my purse.
Lipbalm: Dior Addict Lip Glow
Last but not least my princess product, this lip balm is so pricey but I can’t deny it, I use it all the time, I have a slight obsession with fancy lip balms this one in particular I love because how it feels on the lips, it’s very soft and smooth, it tastes amazingly and it changes colour with your body temperature so it becomes my perfect shade of pink.
Now I want to know what would you pick? Have you used any of these items? I’m not tagging any specific people so if you want to do it please do it and let me know when your post goes live, I can’t wait to read your answers!

I bought Total Temptation because you were raving about it! I really like it too. I like a lot of the products on your list
That makes me so happy! I hope you’ll do this tag too ???
that’s such a fun post and omg it would be so hard for me to choose!!
Than you have to do it ???
maybelline makes such a good mascara, I used that OG one with the pink tube & green top for YEARS. love this post, so fun!
You know? They don’t make that one in Italy I don’t know why ahahha but I agree their mascaras are amazing ?
lol whaaaaaat?? no way!! but yes they totally are!
I know it’s like a top best seller ahah
I love all of your choices!!
I also have the NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Deauville and I like to wear it in the winter! I find it is more hydrating for me when it is dry out. I also love the shade of Rockateur. Even though it is a rosy pink, I find it so unique! Also, I want a princess lip balm! Maybe I should splurge?
You have to ahahah I need to get more shades of that lip glow, it’s the best! I love sheer glow, it works for so many skin types, today was so hot and my skin looked so good all day even if I was melting hahah xx
So many great products!
Thank you
I love my Pores No More cream! It gives me a flawless finish!
It’s so good!!!
Love this post idea! I completely agree on the Mac Lipstick and Hoola Bronzer. I will have to try that setting powder, I need a new one!
Oh girl! That setting powder changed my make up game ?
YAS ?? maybelline mascara and Mac lipsticks forever!
Yes! Must haves! ?
I would so love to try all these products. Am definitely getting the foundation, lip balm and lipstick when I’m back from my trip. Make up is such an alien concept to me and there’s always so much to keep up with. This is a great tag as it allows me to see great products all at once. Going to save this post for later. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it ♥️♥️♥️
loving this post babe!!!
Thank you ♥️
I really want to buy that Mac concealer!! I’ve been using the revolution concealer but I fancy trying out a different product when it runs out since the revolution concealer is really hard to get hold of xx
I hope you do, the Mac one is such a staple in my make up routine and there is so much in the bottle that it literally lasts forever ??
I think I’m going to it sounds really good xx
Obviously let me know what you end up picking ??
I did end buying a Mac concealer (although not sure if it’s the same one you were talking about) and it’s sooooo good I absolutely love it ?
What I use is the Pro Longwear, if it’s not that one I want to know which one you have, I’m always down for an amazing concealer 😉 xx
I think it’s the select moisturecover concealer xx
Uhhh I need to check it out 😉
Let me know what you think!! ? xx
I’m glad you decided to do the tag! It’s definitely a fun one, and yes, helps with writers block! I also quite like the NARS Sheer Glow, and I also use the shade Deauville. I have a bunch of Benefit mini’s, including of Hoola and Rockateur, but I never remember to use them! I need to make a point of it, and I know Rockateur is such a pretty shade! I am totally obsessed with the Fenty highlighters again too, after a bit of a break, and I really want to try that particular shade! I also own Mean Money/Hu$tla Baby and Girl Next Door/Chic Phreak, but I want a lighter duo that works for all looks since it isn’t overly gold or any other colour! Love your pics! And of course you picked the Dior Lip Glow!! Haha. I still haven’t been able to justify that one.
Is this a repost? Cause now I’m seeing I already commented similar things, and it wasn’t today!! LOL awkward sorry.
Or for some reason I just got tagged in it today (it showed up in my notifications), so I thought it was new. Sorry! LOL
Weird ahahah
No problem x
Have you tried benefit palettes? They are so convenient both in price and practicality, I love them x
MAYBELLINE MASCARA are the best i have found so far
They are so good!
The items I really wouldn’t want to be without are my moisturiser and my BB cream. I don’t wear a lot of make-up every day but I do need to moisturise as my skins gets dry otherwise. I discovered BB cream a few years ago and it’s perfect for someone like me who doesn’t really wear make-up but wants to at least make a bit of an effort. I get mine from Body Shop.
Their bb cream is so nice!
Ouuu that Dior lip balm looks awesome! I love the packaging and everything. I’m already a Mac user, but the thing I’ve never tried is primer. I might give the one you’ve suggested a try.
The Dior lip balm is amazing! One of my favourite products ever
my holy grail … mac pro long concealer along with benefit hoola bronzer- both staple on my make up bag’ these has been part of my product empties since 2 years back.
They are both so good!!
If I had to choose just one, I would choose my whirl colored Mac lipstick. I can’t leave home without it.
Whirl is so good! So pretty I love it too x
If I could only use two beauty products for the rest of my life I would choose, quick flick for my wings and a concealer!
Ahahah that’d be awesome
That Rockateur blush looks amazing. If I could only keep one thing, it would be mascara.
That’s probably a good option x
I just love Fenty products. It has been my partner. I think I just bough most of its collection. I love this highlighter and I like the tone too.
Totally agree with you!
I have found the perfect foundation through NARS. The shade is really perfect on me. It helps me minimize all the imperfections.
Such a good one! x
Great choices. Mine would be Fenty Primer, Fenty Foundation, L’Oreal Eye Concealer, James Charles palette, Glosier Blush, and Maybelline Super Stay Lippie.
This are such good option, the Maybelline lipstick are so good!
I am recently obsessed with MAC products but I still have not tried their concealer. I have the NARS foundation though I am not in love with it.
Foundation is such a personal preference, but I hope you’ll like the concealer xx
