What’s In My Makeup Bag?

My favorite go-to look is - primer, concealer, brows, mascara. One of my most frequently asked questions is: "What kind of mascara do you use?" So here is a list of all the eyeliners and the only mascara I swear by. Alyssa's Favorite Mascara and Eyeliners Tarte Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara - I finally found a mascara that does not clump on my eyelashes and is not heavy. It lengthens and volumizes my eyelashes but in a natural-looking way. It is made with no harsh chemicals or parabens, and that's something that is really important when putting something so close to your eyes. My lashes are noticeably healthier since I started using this mascara a few months ago, and that's because it is made with Amazonian clay that helps restore lashes. So even when you are not wearing any mascara at all, your lashes still look much healthier. I pretty much worship this mascara and whenever I am getting my makeup done for a photo shoot or a red carpet event, I always bring my Gifted along for the makeup artist to use instead. Tarte MultiplEYE™ Lash Enhancing Liquid Liner - I like using an eyeliner pen when I use liquid eyeliner. It's a bit more precise and less messy. Unfortunately, this liquid eyeliner from Tarte only comes in black, however, it stays on all day. I have used this eyeliner at red carpet events. Hourglass Calligraphy Liquid Eye Liner - This eyeliner pen from Hourglass comes in more than one color other than black, so I use this pen when I want a brown liquid liner. Sometimes black can be too harsh if I want a more subdued, simple look so I will use brown instead. Tarte EmphasEYES™ Waterproof Clay Shadow / Liner - This creamy eyeliner can also be used as a cream eyeshadow, as it comes in other colors besides black. I prefer using this eyeliner when I wear false eyelashes at events. I run the creamy eyeliner over the eyelash strips and it helps hold them in place. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil - I have been swearing by this pencil eyeliner since I was Miss California USA. I used it throughout my time in Las Vegas competing at Miss USA and then throughout my reign as Miss USA. It stays on all day! Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler - Really any eyelash curler works, but this one by Shu Uemura is not flimsy and really curls your lashes. Sometimes, this is all you need. No mascara required.
