When submerging yourself in the world of beauty products, you will quickly learn that in order to achieve more complex looks, products will have to be incorporated into your routine that are unfamiliar and dare I say, a little scary. Some of the things I have grown to truly love have been things I purchased, decided I didn't like, only to discover I was using them improperly. Once I learned how to use them correctly, I was left wondering how I ever lived without them before! Below is a list of products and their proper uses. As usual, I chose the always budget-friendly brand e.l.f., available via eyeslipsface.com as my arsenal. Please comment below and let me know if you have any other products to add, I would LOVE to see what uses you guys have found for other things! XOXO
