If you’ve been reading the blog for any length of time, you know I am a big LORAC Cosmetics fan. Needless to say, I was surprised when I realized I’ve never done a top 10 or top 5 from LORAC. Like…how did that even happen?? Well, today we’re going to fix that! I like so many products that they put out, but these 5 are the cream of the crop for me!
I could’ve done a top 10, but I really wanted to hone in on my absolutely favorite, so we’re just going to talk about the top 5 from LORAC Cosmetics that you NEED to try before the year is out! ๐

My Top 5 from LORAC Cosmetics
1 – PRO Palette | Retail: $44
This one is going to sound obvious, but if you don’t own a LORAC PRO palette…you need to! Forget splurging on an Urban Decay Naked palette — save the extra money and just go with one of these. You get more eyeshadows, you have more mattes to play with, and I feel like the quality is better all around. It’s hard to pick a favorite….but I think I would have to say MY personal favorite between all the PRO palettes is the third one…closely followed by the original. But I fully realize that a lot of people don’t like this (still don’t quiet understand why, lol…) So I would say go into Ulta, have a swatch party, and then pick the palette that you are most drawn to ๐

2 – Behind the Scenes Eyeshadow Primer | Retail: $21
Want to know a secret? I’ve never purchased the full size bottle of this stuff…and I use it almost daily! When you purchase a LORAC PRO palette, they always include a deluxe-size sample of their eyeshadow primer. And ever since I received my first PRO palette (probably 4 years ago) I have been so loyal to this primer. I have very oily eyelids and LORAC’s primer was the first one I tried that could actually keep my eye looks from creasing — and I’m talking 14-16 hours strong with ZERO creasing! You only need a little bit, so the deluxe sample would last me well over a year, probably closer to two… And since I’ve purchased three PRO palettes….I don’t see myself having to buy a full size of this stuff for a very long time!

3 – Front of the Lines PRO Liquid Liner | Retail: $23
If you’ve ever been curious how I am able to get my wings so long and so straight…it is mostly because to this beauty — this was the product I used when I first started to master the wing. It makes drawing that wing very effortless so that by the time I started playing with gel pots, getting that really precise, sharp wing came easier to me. This doesn’t dry down matte, which is the only down size. But seriously, if you are a beginner — or even if you’ve been in makeup for a while but want to master the sharp wing — I highly recommend this liner.

4 – Color Source Buildable Blushes | Retail: $22
I was sent two of the blushes for review consideration…and ended up buying a third on my own. I love these blushes that much! LORAC knows how to kick it out of the park when it comes to pigmentation! These are so intense, you really only need the lightest dab of your brush to be good to go. My favorite shade is actually Tinge — that nude-ish shade. It gives the most natural, everyday color to the cheeks that I love.

5 – Alter Ego Lipsticks | Retail: $17
Do we see that creaminess? That’s just two swipes! I really don’t understand how this is the only shade I own — I NEED MORE! I wore this shade (called “CEO”) almost non-stop last fall. The tube looks new because I ended up leaving it at my mom’s house, so had to repurchase a new tube for myself. ๐ But really, this lipstick is pigmented, creamy, so comfortable to wear, and lasts for hours. It does transfer and smudge, just like any other lipstick, but if you’re careful when you eat or drink I actually find I don’t really need to touch up afterwards. And for the price, it’s a really affordable option for a highend brand — I purchased this one during a sale when they were only $9 each!
More Ravings in a Monthly Favorite
Those are my Top 5 from LORAC! It was so hard to pair it down to only 5, but I really wanted to share my absolute favorites that I feel like you can’t go wrong with from this brand. Some honorable mentions are the PRO Matte Lip Color, Light Source Illuminating Highlighter, and the Alter Ego Lip Liner. ๐

I don’t own any of the LORAC products, but have been eyeing the palettes! <3 The neutrals get me every time!
The eyeshadow palettes are AMAZING! <3
I knew I liked you already, but choosing the Lorac over Naked really sealed the deal for me- good call! I love all your choices!
Haha, yes girl! I do NOT understand the hype over the Naked palettes — I got the original and was SO disappointed when comparing it with my PRO palettes
I absolutely LOVE my LORAC PRO 3, I’m drawn to it nearly every time – It’s just freaking beautiful!!
I also have the eye primer, and their waterproof eyeliner – all of which I love. Being from Australia, LORAC products are hard to come by so when I visited the US a few months ago I went kinda crazy with my cosmetics purchases. I never told my boyfriend how much I spent…
Haha, that’s awesome girl! Just about every product I’ve tried from LORAC, I’ve fallen in love with. They make sure quality products! <3
It’s lovely to hear how well these products work for you x
Thanks, hope it was helpful!
These seem like really good products! Those blushes are beautiful shades!
The blushes are AMAZING! I own three..and want more. So pigmented, a little goes a long way!
All of these look fantastic! I don’t own any Lorac products but it seems like I should…
Definitely a good brand to invest in ๐
I’ve been using the Behind the Scenes primer for a few months…I can’t decide how I feel about it still.
It isn’t a primer that will give you any coverage, but it is BOMB at keeping your shadows from creasing ๐
I recently got lorac pro 2 and I’m in love. These eyeshadows are super pigmented and very good quality. I wish there was bigger hype on them.

I know! I don’t understand how the naked palettes have more hype than these palettes — they’re so much more pigmented. And not dry like the naked palette!
I LOVE Pro 2, followed by the first Pro palette. Though I bought and like Lorac Pro 3, I don’t adore it as much as the other two – maybe I have neutral palette overkill lol. I wish I had held out for Mega Pro 3 instead ๐
I love the undertones in the PRO 3, and the matte shades are my favorite to work with on the daily. Maybe that’s why I love it just a bit more than the original ๐
I don’t have any of the Lorac Pro palettes, but I’ve heard they’re amazing. I do love the Color Source blushes, though! Great picks!
Yes the blushes are amazing!
I think you just sold me on that lipstick. So creamy!
It’s my favorite!
I hear so much about Lorac shadows, but i haven’t given them a shot yet. So far I’ve only tried their contour palette and I enjoy that, might be time to give the brand more of a shot!
I need to get their contour palette next — it looks so good!
I tried a few Lorac products, but their blushes have always been my favorite.
They became an instant favorite of mine, too!
That lipstick!!!! That is MY shade!!!! Off to add to my santa list!
Haha, woo!! It’s so pretty!
I have heard such great things about loarac , these look lovely x
They are my favorite!
Believe it or not, I still haven’t purchased any of the Lorac Pro palettes. I’m sure that won’t last most longer. LOL!
Oh my, girl, you’ve got to fix that! ๐
No Lorac products in my kit, well not yet anyway! These all sound so good, and I reckon I definitely need a few of the lipsticks xxx
Yess! Girl, you need some!
Oh Katie! My Birthday/Christmas list is getting longer and longer! LOL! I need the palette, blushes and that eyeliner!
Haha, it’s a never ending list when you’re a makeup lover ๐
My Lorac lipsticks are my favourites.
Yes, they are SO good!
