items Every product I recommend I have bought with my own money and have tested without being incentivized :)
This is one of the foundations I sampled when I worked at Sephora that I immediately fell in love with and purchased for myself! Blends like water, buildable coverage, gorgeous, radiant finish, and feels like nothing on the skin! I always recommend t...
Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation
This concealer has a very thin, watery consistency (hence the “serum” in the name), and I think it's for that reason that it sits so beautifully under the eyes. A little bit goes a long way, the coverage is very buildable, and unless my eczema is REA...
Bare With Me Concealer Serum in 13 Shades
Here's a concealer that I don't see many people talk about that I think deserves more recognition! You don't need a lot to get really high coverage, and it never looks cakey or dry.
Future Fluid Creamy Longwear Hydrating Concealer with ...
I like this blush more than the Rare Beauty blushes! I have it in the shade “chilly”, and it's a gorgeous berry tone that isn't too over the top.
Saie Dew Blush Blendable Liquid Blush
1
This is a really nice, really afforable tinted moisturizer. One layer gives me some subtle coverage and a radiant look, 2 layers evens out my redness completely but it isn't as heavy or as full coverage as a foundation would be! I love using this for...
Hyaluronic Tinted Moisturizer
I gave up on brow gel all together and I exclusively use this hair styling gel! Nothing else holds my brows in place this well, for so long, like this product. Just be sure to remove any product (whether that be skincare, foundation, etc) from your b...
Schwarzkopf Got2b Glued Spiking Glue, 6-oz
This looks intimidating at first, but once I got the hang of it, I've never gone back to brow pencils. This gives natural brow-like hairs like nothing else I've tried. My brows always look clean and natural, but I still get that structure and definit...
Lift & Snatch! Brow Tint Pen - NYX
This powder actually looks like a filter on my skin. My concealer didn't budge, my pores were blurred, my forehead stayed mattified, and it was almost undetectable if it weren't for how unnaturally flawless it looked!! I find it looks even better whe...
Cloud Set Setting Powder
This is a GORGEOUS setting spray, I have 2 in particular that I go back and forth between. This gives such a nice, radiant finish to the skin, it keeps my makeup in place for HOURS, and it doesn't dry out my skin!
Make It Last Original - Natural Finish Setting Spray
This is my favourite tinted serum on the market, I recommended this to just about everyone when I worked in Shoppers beauty boutique! It's lightweight, light-natural coverage, great for dry skin, and super blendable.
True Match Plumping and Hydrating Tinted Serum
This is a really nice dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury under-eye colour corrector. Sits perfectly under makeup, as well as alone!
Putty Color-Correcting Eye Brightener
I never do a makeup look without popping a nude liner in my bottom water line. I've been using this one by Essence since Jr. High and it has never failed me!
long lasting eye pencil
This is my other go-to setting spray, it really makes my makeup last throughout the day, and leaves such a gorgeous finish on the skin!
Stay All Night Blue Light Micro-Setting Mist - e.l.f. Cosmetics
I've been using this brow pencil for YEARS, I can't get the same brow-hair effect from any other pencil I've tried. It stays all day, and comes with a spooly on the other end for blending any harsh lines!
Micro Brow Pencil - Precise Eyebrow Definition
I never see anyone talking about this product, but it is by far the best pore-minimizing primer I've tried. It also helps with fine lines! Just make sure to wait until it has fully set (around 30 seconds) before applying makeup on top :)
Skin Defense Primer for Anti-Pollution and Pore Minimizing ...
This powder leaves such a nice, radiant finish, while still setting your makeup and keeping it in place all day.
Halo Glow Loose Setting Powder
Another underrated drugstore find, Hard Candy kind of popped off with this liquid blush. It's super blendable and buildable, and gives a subtle glow to the cheeks as well!
Luminous Liquid Blush - Hard Candy
This is a really good drugstore option for powdered blush! Pigmented, buildable, satin finish, and gorgeous shades to pick from!
Rose Powder Blush
I would not suggest purchasing this product if you're new to the makeup scene, because it does require some finessing. That being said, if you're confident in your makeup application skills, this is a really fun product to play around with. I love us...
Cooling Water Jelly Tint Blush + Lip Stain
This is the BEST colour corrector for under eyes I have tried. It has a super thin formula so it blends like a dream, AND sits well under concealer. I wear it on it's own a lot of days, it's perfect for quick no-makeup makeup days!
Conceal + Perfect Undereye Brightener - Milani Cosmetics
This gloss is FANTASTIC! I use the shade 'Gummy Bear', it is the perfect subtle pink shade for me! Mildly plumping, very shiny, and genuinely hydrating on the lips!
Hydrating Lip Gloss with Hyaluronic Acid - Maybelline
These lip stains are amazing! I use the shade ‘Pinkies Up’, it gives me a perfect natural wash of colour that lasts for HOURS.
Glossy Lip Stain - e.l.f. Cosmetics
This is a lovely drugstore bb cream. It's super easy to blend out, buildable, and the green shade is fantastic if you struggle with redness! As you rub the product into your skin, the colour will change to match your skin tone.
Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream Face Makeup - L'Oréal Paris
One of THE BEST drug store foundation options. Dewy without being over the top, full coverage, long lasting, I've gotten so many compliments on my makeup with this one!
Infallible 32 Hour Lightweight Fresh Wear Foundation - L'Oréal Paris
