Diamonds – their very mention makes the heart skip a beat. Be it for the expectations implied or for the very beauty and exquisiteness of their possession.

You thought they’d be my top 5, huh? Don’t worry, I’ll be adding mine soon, but I just had to ask my #1 favorite makeup assistant Jennifer Fiamengo (and right arm!) in Los Angeles, what her top 5 picks were.
Here’s what she can’t live without.
1. Laura Mercier Foundation Primer

It’s all about creating the perfect canvas and this primer does it the best. It’s lightweight, hydrating and made with kiwi, grape and aloe extracts. It not only prepares and protects your skin but will keep your foundation looking fresh all day long.
2. Laura Mercier Secret Concealer
Available in 3 shades, this hydrating and super blendable concealer is perfect because of its orange base that counters blue undertones found in the under eye area.
3. Physicians Formula MicroKohl Eyeliner
This unique, self-sharpening eyeliner is super thin for superior precision and comes with a rubber tip on the opposite end for blending.
4. Revlon Skinlights
Cream & powder highlighters in an array of shades that can be added to your favorite foundation or directly onto the skin for an instant glow.
5. M.A.C Tinted Lip Conditioner in Soothing Beige
With SPF 15 and a soft vanilla flavour this lightweight lip conditioner moisturizes and protects your lips with a hint of natural color. Great worn alone for a natural look or under you favorite lipstick.
