Must Have Makeup for Oily Skin
- My #1 Must Have Makeup Item: Mattify Cosmetics Ultra Powder for oily skin. This is the HOLY GRAIL of products for people with oily skin!! I’ve never found any face powder that soaks up oil for so many hours. Usually I would have to re-powder every single hour, but now I can go 4 hours without a touch up. I love their eye shadows too, because they don’t crease on my oily eye lids and stay color true all day long. I found this at a makeup expo in Reno 2 years ago and have been addicted ever since. My second must have product is: Stila Cosmetics Eye Liner. It stays on all day long and is so soft I can even line the inner rims of my eyes with it. Also, it comes in a ton of colors, which is very rare for eye liners. All other liners (because of my stupid oily skin) wear off within a few hours - but not this one!

Young and Fresh Must Haves
- I'm in highschool and I choose not to overdue the makeup. My current must-haves are a medium brown eyeliner and mascara and a foundation and concealer to cover up small blemishes. I have fairly light skin and hair and I don't want my makeup to be too noticeable. That's why I use medium brown mascara and eyeliner so it doesn't show up too much. I use a foundation and concealer that either match my skin or are a shade darker in Winter. I highly recommend makeup-removing towelettes, they are so much easier to control!

Multi-taskers are the key!
- 1. sunscreen 2. insect repellant 3. hair conditioner, since I’ll be outdoors lot, but won’t have a chance for regular trims (can double as moisturizer) 4. liquid soap (can double as shampoo) 5. toothbrush I considered putting an exfoliant on the list, but I think the sand would be an excellent exfoliant. I also considered lip balm, but the conditioner and sunscreen could be used for that, and I would need the toothbrush more.
