Ever since I was in middle school I have used make-up. I know that seems too young but in my defense have been suffering with bad skin since then! I had older sisters and friends that were into make-up then and I discovered that make-up was a good way of concealing what mother nature was doing to me. Now that I'm a little older I have been able to control my acne-prone skin to a certain extent. But despite taming my skin, I still don't feel 100% when I don't have a face of make-up on.
If you're someone like me and need that medium to full coverage, these products will help a ton. Most, if not all, products are easy to get a hold of and are affordable.

I have repurchased my Rimmel foundation at least 3 times and I have all the empty containers to prove it. It gives amazing coverage and it will literally last through the hottest summer day. I'm not the type to fuss with my make-up through out the day so I like to do my make-up once in the morning and forget about it. The same idea goes with my eyeliner and I have vowed that the exaggerate waterproof eyeliner is the only one I will use for the rest of my life...Okay probably not but I've repurchased this product various times just because it works so well for me.
When it comes to the eyes, I keep it very simple. Smokey eyes don't have to be difficult and could be easily created with just your fingers! This trio set is perfect because it gives you everything you need to create that look.
Blush and bronzer are what gives your face life so don't forget about them! Just by adding a swipe of each to your face it will give you more dimension. This Victoria Secret blush gives me the right amount of colour without making me look like a clown. NYC's sunny bronzer is perfect for me because it keeps my face from looking "muddy" and the fact that it's matte helps with my already shinny/oily face.
Wearing make-up doesn't have to be intimidating. It took me literally years to find the products that are right for me and who knows? Maybe there are even better products out there for my skin type and needs but it's a matter of trial and error.
I hope this helped you a little if you have similar skin needs as me and don't be afraid to share your thoughts or ask questions through the comments. Also, I would love to see your everyday make-up so tag me on instagram @twelvemonthsofmay or use the hashtag #twelvemonthsofmay to share!
