Ashley’s Makeup Bag
Makeup Bag
I got this makeup bag off of amazing 4 years ago and it is amazing! It fits so much makeup in it, so it is perfect for game days!
Primer
My primer is a holy grail! I love the Mac Prep+Primer Setting Spray. My foundation doesn’t slip, it doesn’t run off, it doesn’t smudge - so it is amazing for me!
Foundation
I live by my foundation! For me personally, the L’Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation is amazing because it comes in a variety of shades, which is especially nice when you have to switch between different shades (the spray tan life), and it is super affordable.
I use 102 but when I have a spray tan I go a bit darker and use the shade104.
Concealer
Another holy grail is the Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer in 12N Neutral, for my under eyes. I really like my under eyes bright but I don’t want the shade to be too different to where it looks funny. I feel like this just blends in nice, evenly, and perfectly to give that contrast!
Eye shadow
My eye shadows that I always go to are Morphy palettes. They are incredible when it comes to the natural/glam look. I am not really a smokey eye kind of girl because I use a lot of reds and browns which I think compliments my blue eyes the best.
Mascara
The Lash Paradise Mascara is amazing!
It is just amazing.. if you haven’t tried it.. you should try it.
Lashes
Lashes that I use for game days are the Ardell Whispies,113.
Lash glue
I always pair my lashes with the DUO glue! I love DUO lash glue which you can get clear or in a dark tone. I like to use the dark toned glue because it works as an eye-liner for me!

Brows
My holy grail for my brows is the Anastasia - Brow Whiz in the color Ebony!
I pair that with my Anastasia - Brow Powder Duo in Ebony, using both the darker and lighter tones to fill in the rest of my eyebrow.
Last, I set my eyebrows with the Anastasia - Clear Brow Gel. Just to make sure they’re not wiggling everywhere!
Contour
We love contouring! I use the Anastasia - Contour Kit.
Blush
Always apply some blush and highlighter! My go-to blush is Tarte in the shade Quirky!
Highlighter
My highlighter is the OFRA Highlighter - Star Island. This is a gorgeous shade!
Lipstick
Last but not least - lipstick! So important!
My lipstick would always fall off at the end of the night and I never knew why or how to fix it. But I found this trick a little while ago where you “prime” your lips using a lip liner (I use the NYX pencils) and it has worked wonders!
Just line your lips and also fill your lips in with the pencil. After that, I put on my NYX lip cream (anything that works for you!) and it acts as a primer for your lipstick. Since I started doing this my lips end up staying all night long!
