This has made the pores on my face much smaller! I have a weird HUGE pore on the side of my nose, if I use this product consistently, it’s half the size. I hope it’ll eventually get too small to see!
SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
This stuff really works if you use it consistently. I have lost sooooo much hair over the last year, but I started using this serum (admittedly not completely consistently) and I can see soo many baby hairs growing! I know if I keep using it consiste...
Enjoy Thicker Hair with Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density
Another amazing product when you use it consistently. My skin always feels softer, and it definitely helps with the bumps on the back of my arms. I use it on my legs the most to get rid of dead skin! Pro tip: don't use after you shower, use alone whe...
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner
I love this sunscreen! Sunscreen is absolutely necessary, especially if you are using any sort of acid based skincare! Don't skip it.
Full Body SPF
No explanation needed because hand sanitizer is a must when interacting with tons of people a day. This stuff is less drying than the regular sanitizer!
Touchland Hand Sanitizer
I have sensitive skin and this cleanser never irritates it. I use it as my first cleanser, then I use an exfoliant or panoxyl if I'm breaking out second.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Cleanser
This is what I use to control acne! I have sensitive skin and it doesn't irritate it, but you do definitely have to train your skin a little. It will dry out a bit initially so make sure to stay on top of moisturizing!
PanOxyl Antimicrobial Acne Wash 4% BP 6oz
I will be honest, I haven't tried many face-specific sunscreens. However, I use this one and it works while not ruining my makeup. Whether I put it on or not, my makeup looks the same and stays the same! So now I will never bother to find a new produ...
Neutrogena Clear Face Sunscreen SPF 50, 3oz
My OG face lotion. I haven't had a reason to try anything else. They have bigger regular lotion that can be used for the face as well, but this one is my fav. I just feel like this absorbs into my face better than the regular lotion.
Pond's Cream Dry Skin 3.9 oz (Pack of 2)
Face Makeup
I love this skin tint! Add some powder (for us sweaty girls) and this is a beautiful medium coverage!
Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50
So, this foundation is gorgeous on the skin! Idk why I was expecting it to be more like a skin tint, but its definitely heavy like foundation, but it doesn't feel heavy on the face once its applied. The finish is chefs kiss.
Revealer Skin-Improving Foundation SPF 25
This is my holy grail under eye concealer. It's buildable to full coverage and sets nice with any powder! It holds up all day with powder, too.
Radiant Creamy Concealer
This is the setting powder I use with the elf halo glow. A little goes a long way with this powder, and it's better to build it up than to bake IMO. It sets everything beautifully though.
PUFF PUFF PASS SET & BAKE POWDER - 03 Translucent
The pressed powder is truly chefs kiss. I used a puff triangle thing and when I’m inevitably sweating in court I can step out and touch up my makeup. It works so well and holds my makeup in place all day!
Makeup Powder & Setting Spray
Must have lip balm. Especially in the winter, and this one is extra yummy.
Lip Butter Balm, Vanilla
This blush is so pretty! I set it with a powder blush, so I don't put too much of this on, but the glow is beautiful! I love their liquid bronzer, too. You can find those in this list as well!
SHEGLAM Color Bloom Dayglow Liquid Blush - Devoted
“Soft tan” is the bees knees if you have pale cool/neutral toned skin. this is NOT for my tan baddies, you will look like you took mud and scrubbed it on your cheeks. But for my pale baddies, this is for us!
SHEGLAM Sun Sculpt Cool Toned Contour Stick
I love love love this blush. It's super pigmented so build it up instead of going heavy right away! The shade “exposed” is my favorite.
tarte Amazonian clay 12-hour blush
I always set my liquid bronzer with a smalllllll amount of setting powder, and then top with a powder bronzer! If you are pale like me, get the light bronze.
ICONIC LONDON Ultimate Bronzing Powder Matte
Milani highlighters are THAT GIRL. Make sure to pick a shade that goes well with your skin tone and then shine bright like a diamond! (Rihanna anyone?)
Milani Hypnotic Lights Vegan Highlighter
Eye Makeup
Listen, I am so serious when I say this mascara is in my top 3 ever. It adds so much length to my lashes, try to use as little product as possible and focus on the tips of your lashes! I usually use it in combo with a mascara that adds volume, but it...
Blackest Black Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara - Maybelline
This is my holy grail mascara. I do hate how juicy it is in the beginning (like most new mascaras) but seriously a little goes a long way. Focus on the tips of your lashes after the first coat, and your lashes will reach the damn stars, hence the nam...
Blackest Black Telescopic Original Washable Mascara - L'Oréal
An eyelash curler is an eyelash curler, but this one comes with a mini mascara as well! I actually love the lights camera lashes mascara a lot, and it works well as a touch up mascara. Therefore, the extra mini is really what we here for, but the eye...
tarte picture perfect eyelash curler
I don't do my eyeshadow often, but when I do it's the same 3 colors I've used since I was 15. light brown, brown, dark brown. Oh shit, I lied, it's 4! I also add a gold glitter shade on top if I'm gettin fancy with it. This palette has all of the abo...
Morphe 9T Neutral Territory Warm Eye Palette
Beauty Tools
#57 is my fav for concealer. I think the density just blends it so quick and seamlessly… idk but it works!
Brushes For Concealer
I know they're overpriced, but other than the morphe sponge, nothing comes close to the original formula for me. Morphe is in this list too, its second for sure!
Beauty Blender
Morphe's OG sponge is the closest dupe to the real beauty blender that I have found. Other than some random ones from the internet actually.. but those are gone and Morphe is not! Seriously tho, affordable compared to the OG and nearly just as good.
Makeup Sponges, Powder Puffs, and Tools
I use these with powder only, I have never tried them with a liquid product. but I loveeeee them for under eye powder. I don't bake per se, but I do want to make sure I get powder everywhere because I am a sweaty gal lol
Pimoys 15pcs Soft Triangle Makeup Puff Set
If you need a good basic brush set, morphe has that for you! I have actually bought the set twice because they are staple, everyday, brushes. The flat top is my fave for liquids!
Morphe Face The Beat 5-Piece Brush Set
I really believe the bar lasts longer than the liquid, but that's probably just cause I overuse liquid brush cleanser. Either way, I get the bar and just make sure I don't store it near my body soap since I often put my dirty ahhh makeup brushes righ...
Beautyblender® Blendercleanser® Solid Lavender + Silicone Scrub Mat, 1 oz
I use this for my foundation and I love it. You do need to wash it though, and you'll know when cause it will suddenly NOT make your foundation look beautiful lol but I washed, let it dry, and it was back to brand new!
DUcare Flat Top Kabuki Foundation Brush Pink
Although this matches my court bag, I only use it for traveling. It fits the perfect amount, displays it nicely on the counter, and ultimately stops me from making a mess of the hotel bathroom counter.
