This product is the one — it has no dupes. It’s the only one that gives me the exact look I’m going for. I usually use it in the summer, when I want my freckles to peek through, but still want a bit of pigment to chisel out my face. It’s perfect for ...

L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Lift Volumizing Mascara 36HR Wear - Black 991 - 0.33 fl oz
My skin is combination to dry. They also have a matte version that a lot of my friends use. It doesn’t dry out the skin, instead, it gives a radiant, healthy-looking finish. Truly reliable. I’ve been using it for years! P.S. It doesn’t oxidize.
Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Oil Free Liquid Foundation - 1 fl oz - 118 Light Beige - 1 fl oz
Another one from the Fit Me collection! It’s not full coverage, but it’s super creamy and gives a radiant, flawless finish. Medium coverage that looks like skin. The best part? It doesn’t oxidize.
Maybelline Fit Me Liquid Oil-Free, Fragrance-Free, Dermatologist Tested Concealer - 11 Vanilla - 0.23 fl oz

It is very nourishing and moisturizing for the lips. It's not sticky, which is great, and it also has subtle sparkles
Avon True Lip Oil
It has a texture similar to a gloss, but it's also creamy at the same time — it's hard to describe, but it looks beautiful on the skin. It gives a glossy-skin effect without moving the makeup underneath.

You cant dupe this one. It is one of its kind. So sparkly!

Milani Baked Blush - Bella Bellini 12 - 0.12oz
