The juiciest moisturizer there ever was! Leaves you with a healthier skin barrier & dewy skin. So important to moisturize before putting on makeup so it all sets evenly!

For a more natural/everyday look, this is what I'm using as my base. This sunscreen is amazing - it evens skin tone and covers redness! I use shade medium with a couple drops of shade tan mixed in.

The key to a flawless looking complexion! Doesn't settle into pores or fine lines and instead adds a real-life filter to your face! I just shade Honey all over my face once I've done my foundation & concealer, and shade Translucent to set my unde...

Gorgeous & hydrating liquid blush - seriously this is the only one I'll ever use because it's actually clean! I use shades berry when I want a darker more flushed look, and peach for a more skin-kissed natural look. I apply all over my cheeks, mi...

Powder blush that blurs pores & texture! I use the color Sawtelle Slushie for a deeper mauve blushed look. Pairs perfectly on top of the Monat Cream Blush!

Great option for a powder highlighter or as a substitute for blush & bronzer if you're looking for something super natural! I use the pink shade as an eyeshadow on days I want a natural glow without doing a full eye makeup look.

For a darker and sculpted brow look, I love using this pencil to add color and shape to my brows! I use the shade Deep Brown or Brunette since I love a darker brow look. I'll use this under my brow gel!
