I’ve played with makeup since I could remember. Then I got into theatre really early on in school, and the rest is history. Here’s recs that hold up under stage lights, sweat, and the sun!

Eyeliner
I will choose this eyeliner over the expensive ones any day. Sharp, precise liner every single time
Again, I will use this cheap stuff over the expensive stuff 9.5/10 times. I love this brush, and the way it’s tapered helps get the little corner lashes
Great Lash Lots Of Lashes® Washable Mascara - Maybelline
This has to be one of the best mascaras I’ve ever used. It really does make your lashes long af; it doesn’t clump; and the applicator is fantastic!

Foundation
This foundation is so so good and comes in amazing shades. It’s buildable and has medium coverage, but honestly, it’s done wonders. Also it smells really good.

Yo. If you’ve ever wanted your head to explode from so many color options, you’ve come to the right place. These glitters are so sparkly and easy to put on using the liquid sugar (or another eye-safe adhesive). Everything’s better with glitter, right...
And these are also great! Also very high sparkle and easy to wear. Not as huge a color selection, but certainly enough choices.

Lipstick
