Spring has arrived, and it’s time to shake up your daily routine. From your wake-up routine to your workout routine, everything may start to feel a bit formulaic. However, one area where you can have some fun and explore this season is your beauty regimen.
Makeup artist Isabel Y. Rosado believes that makeup has the power to tell a story and help you best express yourself. She encourages exploring new products and not being afraid to step outside of your comfort zone. Fortunately, Walmart is currently hosting its Beauty Glow-Up Event in-store and online until April 21, allowing you to try out new makeup finds (and restock your favorites) at a fraction of the price.
As a makeup artist, Rosado recommends having a few key items in your cosmetic bag to help you create a polished and awake look. Here are some of her top picks:
1. Black Opal Flawless Perfecting Concealer, Vitamins A, C, & E, Tan
This full-coverage, matte creme concealer from Black Opal contains vitamins A, C, and E to nourish the skin. It’s perfect for giving your skin a polished and awake look.
2. Playdate Multi-Use Lip and Cheek Tint, Soft Smile, Pink
This creamy formula is easily buildable, making it a versatile addition to your makeup collection. For cheeks, just swipe, blend, and buff with your fingers or a brush. For lips, apply using your fingertips.
3. Relove by Revolution Colour Play Shadow Palette, Fearless
Despite its affordable price tag, this six-shade palette from Relove by Revolution is packed with pigment for an intense color payoff. If fiery tones aren’t for you, you can choose from eight palette options, from matte to shimmery finishes.
4. Jane Iredale Smooth Affair Facial Primer & Brightener
If you’re tired of makeup that doesn’t last all day, primer may be the solution for you. This pre-makeup makeup is packed with botanical ingredients, like green tea extract and sunflower seed oil, and can help minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines.
5. Nubyen Muse Papaya Fruit Illuminating Liquid Highlighter, Lumiere 1
Spring is the season for dewy skin, and this highly-pigmented serum highlighter will help you achieve that glazed-donut-level glow. Use your fingertips to apply it to the areas you want to highlight, or mix it into your moisturizer or foundation for all-over radiance.
6. By Terry Mascara Terrybly Growth Booster, Black Parti Pris
Mascara is the easiest way to define your eyes without using eyeliner. This full-volume, smudge-resistant option doubles as a lash-lengthening serum to provide your lashes with extra nourishment.
7. Eyeko Limitless Long-Wear Pencil Eyeliner, Higher Self
A nude-colored eyeliner may not be what first comes to mind, but it’s a fun way to change things up from a traditional black or brown. Pair it with black mascara on your top and bottom lashes to help tie the look together.
8. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint, 30 Buff Color
This super-hydrating, skin-friendly formula can help even out your complexion. It’s made with hyaluronic acid, which is renowned for its moisturizing benefits. The formula is also oil-free and non-comedogenic, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin.
9. Juice Beauty The Organic Solution Liquid Eyeliner, 01 Black
This long-lasting formula and easy-to-use tip will make applying liquid eyeliner a breeze. Experiment with different shapes and styles to allow your self-expression to shine this season.
