Pretty Face
Let’s set the tone. Because I don’t wear makeup often, I usually like to focus on eyebrows and eye makeup. Typically, I love a soft glam look.
I consider this a classic-never gets old makeup product. This stick give you just the right volume and length. Doesn't leave clumps on lashes.
The Falsies Collection - Mascara Makeup - Maybelline
I often use this as a refreshing mist for hydration without the need to apply makeup. In addition to it's primary use, I wear this one the days my face feels very dry. The coconut water adds a glow.
Hard Candy Sheer Envy Hydrating Primer Mist, Priming Spray
The spritz is light and has no smell. It does not take long for makeup to set.
Matte On Lock - Hard Candy
I mostly use this hydrating concealer under my eyes and to line my eyebrows to add more definition and brighten my face. 
Tan Neutral Hydrating Camo Concealer - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
Eyes & Brows
I love eyebrow products! Having a balanced arch is key for me!
I use this as a finishing touch after I outline and fill my brows.
Wow Tinted Brow Gel | e.l.f. Cosmetics
Love the glimmer shades of browns and orange hues! P.S. I added a few selfies to show you the shades I used 😊
W7 COSMETICS, Sweet Pressed Pigment Palette, Brown Sugar
Thought I’d give this a try. I am more of a fan of the pencil, but the liquid works pretty good too.
Holy Strokes Micro-Fine Liquid Brow Pen | e.l.f. Cosmetics
These pallets are super pigmented, very rich in color
Eyeshadow Palettes - Juvia's Place
This adds a little shimmer and brightens your eye near the arch of your brow. Love how this highlights the shape of the brow.
MegaGlo™ Highlighting Powder | Precious Petals - Wet n Wild
There’s nothing like a good eyebrow wax or threading, followed by an eyebrow tint. I usually go to get my eyebrows threaded and use the henna tint to darken my eyebrows.
True Color Brow Tint - Benefit Cosmetics
The best feature about this pencil is the two and one brush and pencil.
Instant Lift Brow Pencil | e.l.f. Cosmetics
Lightweight and cleans very well. The hairs do not fall out when in contact with different textures of eyeshadow.
Eye Makeup Brushes | Eyebrow and Eyeshadow Brushes
Mostly use this to outline the arch of my brow and fill in the center spaces of the brow. Another favorite feature is the two and one pencil and brush combo.
Micro Brow Eyebrow Pencil
You will definitely need a steady hand with this one, but the liner is very thin and holds a decent amount of the product on the tip for precise application. You do not need to layer unless you want a thicker look.
Liquid Eyeliner & Eyeliner Pencils | e.l.f. Cosmetics
Foundation
Finding the right foundation is a must.
I wanted to try something different, so I grabbed the travel-sized tube. Its texture is smooth, feels lightweight, and so far, no breakouts have occurred, given that I often have oily skin.
Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation | Fenty Beauty
I started with this line. I like the matte finish because I struggle with oily skin. The best part is that I haven't had any breakouts with this product.
Fit Me® Matte + Poreless Foundation Makeup | Maybelline
I use this as an alternative to the liquid foundation. Small enough to keep in your purse with a mini mirror and an easy to grab for a quick touch-up, although one application should do the job!
Fit Me® Matte + Poreless Powder Foundation - Maybelline
Lippie 💄
Lip products are the main character in my book when it comes to makeup. I always have to have a gloss, lipstick or liner whatever I go out.
I fell in love with how creamy and smooth this applies. The brush gives it the extra bliss you need when it comes to blending. Love, love, love this one.
Revlon ColorStay Multi-Liner
This lipstick is truly nourishing, and I’ve felt like my lips remain moisturized without the dry or cracked filling after a long wear. This will transfer.
Soft Kisses Nourishing Lipstick - The Lip Bar
This is one of my forever favorite lipsticks. I am a pride and true matte girly. She will transfer, but she is a showstopping red. 😍
Shop Retro Matte Lipstick | MAC Cosmetics
This has a very smooth application and outlines well for an ombre blend. I love, combining this lip pencil with TLB matte lipsticks.
Lip Liner and Pencils to Define Your Lips - NYX
Stopped in the mall for this beauty. This retractable pen is easy to carry in your purse and grate for touchups. Line your lips with this red and add your favorite gloss and you’re set for the day. 
NYX Retractable Lip Liner (Ruby)
This brand has become a new Faith in my collection. I love the liquid matte line. Keeping in mind, some of their gloss lipsticks will transfer. Very affordable brand in my opinion.
Nonstop Liquid Matte
