Do You Have a "Magic" Product?

Do you have a special "magic" product that you reach for when you just gotta look good, or when you're not feeling your best, or wearing a "challenging" color?
My "go-to" is MAC "Lovemate" lipstick; it's ridiculously flattering, and just "wakes up" my whole face.
I pair it with a touch of "Coygirl" blush, and look about 28 (I'm 42).
"New York Apple" has a similar effect.
Anyone else have a "secret weapon?"

I whip out my 129 brush, pile on some Sincere blush and go to town with it...not only do I use Sincere as a blush, but I also swipe it on my eyelids and in the T-zone area of my face to kinda give me a sun-kissed look without trying too hard! I then take my Engraved Powerpoint e/l and line my upper and lower eyelids and call it a day! Really simple and effective.

Ok, this one isn't MAC, but it is my new holy grail of undereye concealors. I just got make up for ever full cover concealor and it stayed put all day. No creasing, no fading, just beautiful full coverage, and not in a fake way. In fact, I used it for the first time yesterday and hubby and I went out last night for a few hours. I GOT ID'D!!!!!!!! I haven't been asked for ID in 15 years!!!!! (I'm 34) I absolutely love it so far. I'm going to see how it lasts through work today. As for a HG MAC product, it would have to be a combo of lipglass and stereo rose msf. I can't leave home without concealor, lipgloss, and cheek colour. I'd look like the walking dead if I did

i can usually get by without full-face, 45-minute makeup when wearing strobe cream, a little gold deposit MSF, honesty and espresso on eyes with buried treasure powerpoint, and baumy bronze tinted lip conditioner. that's about as natural as i go.

fast response eye cream. I couldn't live without it. It improves my under eye area enough that some days I can actually skip concealor.

Just blush. My Blossom Up/Rose Hip Blush duo. It makes me look more awaken. There is no need for any eye make up

My skin looks more even with blush! ...oh, and maybe a little chapstick

Shimmertime pigment, it gives your eyes a nice awake look. not too shimmery if you put it on lightly. you can use it to highlight your cheekbones, in fact it gives me the same effect as Shimpagne.

Clinique almost makeup, it goes on like a moisturizer but gives me enough coverage.

penned fluidline really makes my eyes pop, as does lithograph and Shade.

if you want a really quick smokey eyes, I love lithograph with a little bit of shimmertime to highlight. maybe some nighttrain in the crease.

I love budding l/g, pink cabana l/s, sandy b l/s, pink merangue l/g sp? ha, and jellybabe l/g.

This is also a non-MAC product...my view is that your face can't look great with makeup if you don't take of your skin so my magic product is a skincare item. Origins Modern Friction is a great exfoliant that keeps my skin glowy so that all my MAC makeup looks fab. It does wonders, I swear.

Also, by way of amazing hair product- I use Kiehl's Creme with Silk Groom daily and it makes my hair feel super silky, and people always ask what I use.

There's my two cents :thumbsup:
