items I’m over the 10-step routines that leave your face feeling heavy. This is exactly what I use to get that polished, expensive-looking skin that actually lasts all day. No gatekeeping.

Prepping the skin
I don't use heavy moisturizers under makeup anymore—they just make everything slide off. This is how I prep so my skin looks bouncy and ready.
I spray this first thing. It has NAD+ which literally wakes up your skin cells. It’s light but makes your face look awake immediately.
Probiotics Barrier 2% NAD + Serum Mist
This is the "salmon DNA" cream everyone’s talking about. I use a tiny bit. It gives that thick, healthy skin look that makes foundation optional.
PDRN Reju 5000 Cream
If I’m extra dry, I layer this on top. It sinks in fast and leaves a velvet finish so your makeup doesn't pill or get weird throughout the day.
Instant Angel Moisturizer | Lipid-Rich, Nourishing Face Cream
I spray this on my bare skin before everything else. It keeps my barrier healthy and stops any midday redness or irritation.
SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray with Hypochlorous Acid
The Base
We’re doing targeted coverage. Most of your skin should still look like skin, just better.
This is expensive but worth it. It’s super thin and blurs everything without looking like a mask. I just blend it with my fingers like a moisturizer.
Prada Reveal Skin Optimizing Foundation
I only put this on the inner corners of my eyes and around my nose. It’s the only one I’ve found that doesn't crease by lunch.
Dior Forever Skin Correct Concealer - DIOR
I mix a pump of this into the skin tint. It gives that "just drank a gallon of water" glow without looking like a glitter bomb.
Saie Glowy Super Gel | All-Over Luminizer | Clean Highlighter
I just buff this into my cheekbones and forehead. It’s a cream, so it looks like a natural tan rather than makeup sitting on top of your face.
CHANEL LES BEIGES HEALTHY GLOW BRONZING CREAM SOLEIL ...
I only use this right under my eyes to brighten things up. The peach tone cancels out any dark circles or purple tones instantly.
Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder - HUDA BEAUTY
Eyes and Brows
The goal is "polished," not "done." Keep the brows fluffy and the lashes clean.
This is better than a regular gel. It adds a bit of color and holds them in place without making them feel crunchy or stiff.
Refy Brow Tint Eyebrow Gel
I just swipe this on my lids to cancel out any redness or veins. It makes you look way more put together than you actually are.
GLIDR Eyeshadow Stick
I switched to tubing mascara because it doesn't smudge. It wraps around your lashes and only comes off with warm water—no raccoon eyes by 4 PM.
Tube Job - Lash Augmenting Tubing Mascara
Lips and Cheeks
This is where the look comes together—blurred lips and a bit of flush.
I use this on my lips and whatever is left on my finger goes on my cheeks. It has this cool blurred texture that looks like a natural flush.
Powder Kiss Lip + Cheek Mousse| Liquid Lipstick
I put this over the MAC mousse. It’s basically a treatment that looks like a high-end gloss. It stays on for a surprisingly long time and keeps your lips hydrated.
Rhode peptide lip tint - ribbon
I keep this in my car for touch-ups. It’s $10 and honestly looks better than some of the $40 lip oils I've tried.
Glow Reviver Tinted Lip Oil
