You might be wondering, "What exactly does this title mean?" Well, I have different types of makeup products that I love, hate, and wish to use. On a normal day, if I have time, I will put on minimal makeup. On special occasions, I will try to put on a full face. But my full face is different than other people's full face. It only includes eyeliner, eye shadow, brows, blush and lipstick. That is why my first hate is foundation. I like the thought of foundation, but I can not stand it on my skin. Without fail, my skin will break out after having it on. Aside from the constant break out, it also looks weird on me. I have dry skin. Therefore, my skin feels and looks caked on with the foundation covering it. My first love is eye shadow. If there is one makeup product that I actually enjoy putting on, it's eye shadow. I love experimenting with different colors and making my eye shadow compliment my outfit. One makeup product I wish I had is highlighter. Highlighter looks soooooooooooo good on melanin skin. It looks great on all colors of skin. I just love how it gives off a beautiful glow, especially in sunlight. I am currently looking for different products to add to my makeup collection, and highlighter is at the top of my list. My second hate item is mascara. You will rarely see me wearing mascara. It's not due to the look; I love the look of mascara. I hate mascara going into my eyes and I also hate taking it off. Pretty much, the only thing I don't like is the process. My second love is eyeliner. Listen, I absolutely hate putting eyeliner on. Sometimes I have to take it off and redo it. But, eyeliner, in my opinion, can bring a look together. I slap it on when I am having a lazy day or when I want to look cute without every other product on my face.

My last product will be a wish. I really want to try concealer. I have dark circles (like many people). While that isn't a huge problem, I don't always want to look tired. So yes I know, you don't have to say it, my challenge will be finding a concealer that will blend in perfectly without me wearing foundation.Bonus wish: makeup setting spray to bring everything together. Now I know I may not need setting spray since I'm not wearing foundation or powder, but I like the thought of a refreshing spritz so maybe what I'll buy is something like the Evian Mineral Water Facial Spray. Let me know if any of you Queens that don't wear foundation is using any type of setting sprays.

So I might be making a few trips to Target in the near future (Mac will have to be gifted hint hint mom). You know how it is, struggling student on a budget.  I want to experiment with what looks good on me and what doesn't. And, I want to make my makeup collection 100x bigger. OK maybe not that big , but you get the point. What are your loves, hates, and wishes? Let me know in the comments below! As always, be uniquely you.
