War paint
War paint
Smoothe pores and fine lines. I use it even when I don't wear makeup, to get the blur.
Poreless Putty Face Primer | e.l.f. Cosmetics.
Concealer that hides discoloration and flaws while being breathable, hydrating and long-wearing? Yes please!
Bye Bye Under Eye Full Coverage Waterproof Concealer
Feels like a moisturizer. Hydrates like a moisturizer. Looks like the glowiest, most even foundation. Plus it's packed with hyaluronic acid and SPF 50 to boot!
Bye Bye Foundation Full-Coverage Moisturizer™ - IT Cosmetics
I use bronzer as contour (because millennial!) and this stuff blurs while bronzing, making my skin look fake good.
Sunshift Cream Bronzer - ILIA Beauty
Get the Venetian Rose color. Thank me later.
Heaven's Glow Blush - EM Cosmetics
It's creamy, affordable, long-lasting, has a built-in spoolie and is the *only* brand that gets the color of blond brows right.
I have fancier ones. I have *heated* ones. But this one works just as well for a fraction of the price and feels sturdier than the dollar store ones.
Lash Curler | e.l.f. Cosmetics
Everything you need for day-to-day eye color, whether you need a sultry smokey eye for a spicy date with the hubby or a matte look for a school event with the kids.
Tone Up - Shadow Palette Set
There's a reason everyone's been wearing this stuff since our emo high schooler days.
Brush Tip Eyeliner - Expert Liquid Liner - e.l.f. Cosmetics
Better tubing effect than mascaras I spent $80, plus it doesn't dry out after 1 week of use like the expensive ones.
Love Triangle Vegan Lip Liner Pencil | e.l.f. Cosmetics
If you want a plumper that WORKS works, trust me on this one.
The Bloss - Jamie Makeup
If you want a plumper with *color* this is your girl. She has amazing pigment, plumping power is excellent and the scent reminds me of a Sanrio store (in the best way possible)
GrandeLIPS - Grande Cosmetics
This is a must-have in the cosplay community because it sets full face paint like it's you're own skin... so imagine how well it works on regular makeup!
Barrier Spray™ Setting Spray | Mehron Makeup
Respect your makeup with a mature storage option that totally *doesn't* just make you crazy happy every time you open it.
