Macy's Beauty Survival Kit

What’s in YOUR Beauty Survival Kit? I went browsing over at Macy’s and I definitely share some favorites with a few of the beauty influencers sharing their favorite products and tips. Cara, from Maskcara, picked Benefit’s The Porefessional as her choice. It is high up on my list of must haves and definitely resides in my survival kit.

This primer does a multitude of things – makes the makeup last longer and stay in place, helps your makeup go on more evenly and fills lines and pores so that the final look is flawless. I don’t carry it with me because all I need is to use it once, and I’m good to go! – Cara Brook

Benefit The Porefessional

I can’t remember the last time that I put my makeup on without this baby. If you’re wanting your makeup to last all day, you need to pick this up. You put it on after your moisturizer and before your makeup, you will get all day wear. I love it’s ability to make your pores appear smaller. Your makeup will go on smooth, look flawless, and last hours.

Keltie, from KeltieKnight, chose one of my absolute favorite bronzers of all time as her choice. Tarte’s Park Avenue Princess.

This bronzer is very clean and light, and doesn’t have a ton of glitter, so I look like I spent time at the beach, not in the circus. I start work most days at 5 a.m. and my shoots for The Insider end around 8 or 9 p.m. That means the makeup my artist Rebecca puts on me has to last under the lights and heat for hours each day. This bronzer does. – Keltie Knight

This matte bronzer is absolute perfection. It works well for all skin tones, but especially those of us pale girls. If you’re pale like I am bronzers could leave you orange looking and this one does not. It’s absolutely stunning. It’s lightweight and goes on like a dream. It’s super light so you can give yourself that sun-kissed glow or build it up for a more chiseled contour.

  82. Kirsten says

    I’d like the Naked palette. I have several neutral palettes, but none of the Nakeds.

  87. Stephanie Morin says

    I would add either oil blotting sheets or a good eye cream — it’s amazing when I look tired and my skin is dry and flaky, or shiny and getting worse, at an inopportune moment. I can whip it out and dab the oil away or I can use the eye cream to brighten up my face and make me look energized in just a few seconds. Anything that can be applied in the car, the better!

  88. Marlee says

    I would love to add a Naked palette to my collection! Everyone I know who has it loves it!

  93. sally john says
