Ever feel like you're lost among all of the makeup products and trends and never know what the hell to buy? Well you are in luck because I, Michaela Stewart, have your answers. I will give you all you need to know about highlighting, contouring, and how to get eyeliner sharper than a knife. We will talk about the latest trends, upcoming/established makeup artists, and products that are just a must have. Before I start sharing my reviews, I want you to know a little about me.
My name is Michaela Stewart and I am 19 years old from Southern Illinois. I grew up all over Illinois and Kentucky but have been in Illinois for about 10 years now. I have been playing with makeup since I can remember. It began with my grandma's makeup and then, in middle school, my own makeup. (Cringe.) You have to start somewhere, right? The first thing I wore to school was mascara and the boys said I looked "weird." When you are 12, you wear makeup to "look prettier." When you are 19+, you wear makeup because you want to, not for other people. My makeup progressed from mascara, foundation, eye shadow, and so on. Around the end of high school and the beginning of college, I began to dabble in "big girl makeup." This is when I met Sephora and my life became whole. (Sarcasm.) But seriously, if you have never been to Sephora, go right now. It's freaking amazing. The Sephora ladies took my hand and led me to the light. Aka: blinding highlight. Now I am VIP Rouge status at Sephora and am never going back to the old days of caked on foundation and raccoon eyeliner.
Now for what you came for: the reviews and tips on makeup.
If you have been living under a rock, you might not have heard about this lovely product called liquid lipstick. If you haven't been living under a rock, then you have probably heard about it. (Liquid lipstick is the true love of my life and will continue to slay my existence.) Anyways, if you do not know what liquid lipstick is, let me tell you. Liquid lipstick is lipstick in a liquid form. (Duh.) It comes in a tube and you can apply it either with the doe foot applicator it comes with or via brush. I have tried various liquid lips across the market including: Anastasia Beverly Hills, Kat Von D, Too Faced, Kylie Cosmetics, Color Pop, etc. Out of all of these competitors, there is one in particular that beats the rest: Jeffree Star.
If you have not heard of him, let me introduce you to Jeffree Star.
Jeffree Star is not for the faint of heart; he is known for being provocative and causing commotion. He has been a makeup artist/musician since the MySpace days, but is now exclusive to cosmetics. Jeffree Star is his own indie cosmetics brand that was created in 2014. He is one of the first to come out with a velour liquid lipstick. After him, many followed in his footsteps. Although others have tried, they cannot beat his formula and pigment. Jeffree's formula is silky smooth and matte. (For those of you who don't know, a matte formula is meant to dry completely.) Unlike other formulas, Jeffree's is light and does not dry out your lips. It is easily buildable and the pigment is to die for.
His lipsticks have spread like wildfire and, in my opinion, one of the best liquid lipsticks on the market. His liquid lipsticks retail for $18 a piece and can be bought on his website. (Link below.) Enjoy liquid lipstick like I have and bring your lips to life. Happy contouring!
