3. Prince Ft. Sheena Easton – U Got the Look
This is particularly fitting in light of Prince's recent, tragic passing. RIP, Prince. Thank you for making us all feel a little more fabulous.

Fergie makes me dance around the bathroom. I fully admit that I sing into my brush and pose in the mirror. Sometimes I even kiss my reflection.
5. Hozier – Take Me to Church
I've loved this song since I first saw the heartbreaking video, but the song itself also has the power to make me feel … well, like I'm the woman Hozier's singing about, actually.
6. Third Eye Blind – Semi-Charmed Life
This has been a go-to for me since high school. That beat, man. That gets me excited about getting ready.
7. TLC – No Scrubs
Same here. I don't look for boys when I go out, scrubs or otherwise (I'm married to a sugar momma, I don't need no scrubs), but this song still puts a strut in my step.
8. Lady Gaga – Marry the Night
To be honest, any of Gaga's songs will make you feel like a queen as you're getting ready to walk out the door. This one's just my favorite.
9. Shakira – She Wolf
Shakira just … god, I love her.
10. Christina Aguilera Feat. Lil’ Kim – Can’t Hold Us down
Regretfully, I am not as into Christina as I once was. That being said, this song does things to me. It puts a little extra pep in my step.
11. Rihanna – Hard
Rhi does, too. She can make a girl feel so frigging empowered.
12. Katy Perry – Part of Me
What? I can't explain it.
13. The Pussycat Dolls – I Don’t Need a Man
Ahahaha, I really don't. You don't either.
14. Queen – Don't Stop Me Now
Queen will never not make me feel awesome.
15. Panic! at the Disco – La Devotee
Everyone needs a song like this on their makeup playlist, even if it's not this particular song.
16. Taylor Swift – Shake It off
As you're applying your favorite cosmetics and feeling your look, remember this: if you don't have a single hater, you're doing something wrong.
17. Demi Lovato – Confident
This goes without saying, right?
18. Beyoncé – Single Ladies
Of course, that was before Lemonade dropped. I think Bey is going to feature even more heavily on my playlist.
How do you rock out when you're putting on makeup and getting ready to step out?
