Base and Foundation Products
My recommendations for base products with a beautiful finish.
Wear under foundation, mix with foundation, or use as a highlighter for a lit from within glow.
Hollywood Flawless Filter: Glow Booster - Charlotte Tilbury
This foundation is super glowy and perfect especially if you have drier skin. Also a clean product!
Glowy Super Skin Tint Foundation | Lightweight Medium Coverage
Skin tint with SPF perfect for everyday that leaves a radiant finish on the skin.
Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer - NARS Cosmetics
Use under foundation, mixed in with foundation, or as a beautiful liquid highlight. Not quite as metallic as th Charlotte Tilbury.
Glow Lust™ Radiant Luminizer - Auric Cosmetics
Another beautiful foundation that gives a natural dewy finish.
Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation - NARS Cosmetics
A beautiful sunscreen with a pearlescent, tinted finish. I love this under foundation or on no makeup-makeup days with just a little concealer for my base.
Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40 - Tinted Sunscreen & Primer
This is another product I have used since high school. I love the pink pearlescent one but there's also a gold one as well. This is beautiful under foundation or skin tint.
Pinklite Strobe Highlighting Moisturizer Cream - MAC | Ulta Beauty
This foundation is AMAZING if you love a dewy finish and have a more normal to dry complexion. This is full of skincare and the shade range is so so good. The packaging is so luxe and special and looks beautiful on your vanity.
Major Skin Hydra-Luxe Luminous Skin Perfecting Foundation For Natural Glow
Blush and Bronzer
My favorite products for adding warmth to the face and a flush of color.
A little goes a long way. Now a lot of shades come in a mini version that will still last you awhile because of how pigmented they are.
If you have more texture on your skin you may not love these, but I think they are beautiful. They work very well as a blush topper.
Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush - Rare Beauty
Beautiful pigment but a little more dewy and sheer than the Rare Beauty liquid blushes.
Saie Dew Blush | Liquid Cheek Flush
Some of the best powder blushes I own! The finish is beautiful and buildable and comes in so many pretty colors, some of which are duo shades.
BLUSH - PAT McGRATH LABS
Leaves an almost airbrushed bronze effect to the skin. Well worth the price tag.
Skin Fetish: Divine Bronzer - PAT McGRATH LABS
My favorite bronzing product! The cream is the perfect shade for contouring and sculpting the face, and the powder bronzer helps bring warmth to the complexion. The cream also has a plastic cover that protects it from getting any powder in it which c...
Patrick Ta Major Sculpt Crème Contour & Powder Bronzer Duo
This cream bronzer stick comes with a brush on the other end making it perfect for traveling. It recently became available in a few more shades. The cream is very blendable.
SoftSculpt® Shaping Stick - Makeup by Mario
This blush leaves a more transparent finish and is so beautiful and dewy on the skin.
Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil - Makeup by Mario
These truly have a glassy finish with beautiful, buildable shades.
color fuse glassy blush balm stick - Haus Labs
Absolutely love this cream bronzer. Blends well with all products and adds a nice glow.
Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Bronzer | Fenty Beauty
This is one of my favorite blush formulas EVER. Once again, the packaging from Patrick Ta is so luxe and comes with a mirror, plus a little plastic flap to keep the cream shade from getting powder in it. You can wear just the cream, just the powder, ...
Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo
Powders
One of the BEST powders I have ever tried and I have tried a lot because I have drier skin. Sets makeup beautifully and doesn't make under eyes crepey. The original formula has a sent but they recently came out with an unscented version if that bugs ...
One of my favorite pressed powders for setting the under eye
Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder
Concealer
I have dark circles and have tried so many concealers to find the absolute best ones. These are my top picks for great coverage and minimal creasing.
This is my holy grail concealer, from the consistency, to the shade, and the coverage. I have drier under eyes, and with the skincare ingredients, this one doesn't make them look crepey, even when set with powder.
Swipe All-Over Hydrating Serum Concealer
Very hydrating and creamy concealer with great coverage and skin care ingredients. Although it's thicker than some, it still makes my under eyes look flawless. Probably my second fav at the moment. This also looks beautiful all over the face when you...
Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-puffing Concealer with Fermented Arnica
Another beautiful, creamy, and hydrating concealer that has medium to full coverage and wears well under eyes.
Revealer Super Creamy + Brightening Concealer with Caffeine and Hyaluronic Acid
The newest concealer in my collection after hearing rave reviews about it since it launched. The consistency of this is like if the Haus Labs and Tower 28 had a baby, so not too slippy and not too think. It feels so nice on the under-eye and has grea...
Hy-Glam Brightening & Hydrating Medium to Full Coverage Crease Proof Serum Concealer
Setting Spray
This is the OG setting spray for me. Use before, during, and after makeup application to keep skin glowy and help makeup last. Also works great sprayed on an eyeshadow brush to make shimmery eye shadows pop even more, or use it as a mixing medium wit...
Original Soothing Herbal Prep + Prime Fix+ Primer and Setting Spray - MAC | Ulta Beauty
The name tells you exactly what this setting spray does. This looks in your makeup for ultra long wear.
