The stuff that makes everything look smooth and stay on all day
I've been using this for a few weeks and I'm obsessed. It's sticky in the best way — grabs onto your makeup and keeps it locked in place all day without feeling heavy. So good for the price, honestly can't believe how well it works.
Power Grip Primer - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
1
Okay yes it's pricier but it is 100% worth it. Blends like a dream, gives you that flawless coverage but still looks like your real skin. Not heavy, not cakey — just smooth and beautiful. My skin looks so good with this on.
Forever Skin Perfect 24H Multi-Use Foundation Stick - DIOR | Sephora
Another amazing foundation. Light texture but gives you real medium to buildable coverage that somehow still looks like actual skin. Not heavy, not cakey, just a really pretty soft glow finish. Wears beautifully all day.
Triclone Skin Tech Medium Coverage Foundation with Fermented Arnica - HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA | Sepho
I've seen so many people rave about this one and I get the hype. It gives you really good coverage without feeling like you're wearing anything. Smooth, matte, natural — everything you want in a foundation.
Easy Blur Natural Airbrush Foundation with Niacinamide - HUDA BEAUTY | Sephora
This is my go-to affordable foundation. Super light, blends so easily, gives you that soft matte finish that blurs your pores without being too heavy. Great if you want something breathable with medium coverage. Love it.
05: Vanilla Bare With Me Blur Tint Soft Matte Foundation - NYX Professional Makeup | Ulta Beauty
Such a beautiful concealer. Rich coverage but it never looks cakey or too much on the skin. Just blends in perfectly and feels really nice. Popular for a very good reason.
Hourglass Brightening Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer | Sephora
This one is so good. Great coverage, looks really natural, blends so beautifully. And it comes in so many shades which I love because finding the right match is always the hardest part.
1W Warm Forever Skin Correct Concealer - Dior | Ulta Beauty
Lighter feeling on the skin than the Hourglass one — more of an everyday concealer but it covers dark circles amazingly. I always grab a shade a little darker than my skin so I get enough coverage. Such a solid everyday pick.
Magic Touch Concealer - Anastasia Beverly Hills | Sephora
Obsessed with this setting spray. Keeps my makeup fresh and locked in all day and gives this really pretty dewy finish. I love using it so much.
3.3 oz Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray - Charlotte Tilbury | Ulta Beauty
This is the most gorgeous glass skin setting spray. It melts all the powders together and gives you the most beautiful glowy finish without looking greasy. Keeps my dry areas hydrated too. Perfect for combo skin.
Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray - ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr | Sephora
Sculpt & Glow — Bronzer, Contour, Blush & Highlighter
Everything you need to look lifted, warm, and glowy
So easy to apply and it blends so effortlessly. Gives you this really natural dewy look without being too shiny. Works for both bronzing and contouring which I love because you get two things in one.
Dew Bronze Soft-Focus Sculpting Liquid Bronzer - Saie | Sephora
This changed the way I contour. The creamy formula glides on and blends so easily — even if you've never tried contouring before, this one makes it simple. Really buildable so you can go natural or more dramatic depending on the day.
Smooth Blur Cream Contour Stick - Anastasia Beverly Hills | Sephora
I lovelovelove this blush so much. The shade is so natural and pretty and it blends so easily. I use a small dense brush and it just looks so beautiful. Lasts forever too, a tiny bit goes such a long way.
Soft Pinch Liquid Blush - Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez | Sephora
Obsessed with this one. The most gorgeous glassy glow with zero glitter — just pure radiance. The little roller applicator makes it so easy and mess-free. Gives you that golden hour glow that I keep coming back for. Forever repurchasing.
Rollaway Glow Highlighter - Iconic London | Sephora
One of my favorites ever. Gives you the most natural, glowing finish that's buildable from super subtle to really intense. Perfect for that fresh lit-from-within look. A total must have.
Positive Light Liquid Luminizer Highlight - Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez | Sephora
Popular for a reason. Blends so effortlessly and adds just the right amount of shimmer without being too much. I can use it for a soft everyday glow or build it up for something more intense.
Cookie Highlighter - Benefit Cosmetics | Sephora
Eyes — Palettes, Liner & Mascara
Everything to make your eyes pop and look bigger and more awake
One of my all-time favorites. The shades are so wearable and the warm neutral tones work for literally every look. Super pigmented too so use a light hand. So versatile, I use it all the time.
Born This Way The Natural Nudes Eyeshadow Palette - Too Faced | Sephora
My go-to black liner. This is the kind of black that actually shows up — deep and bold without looking harsh. It glides on so smoothly and once it sets it does not move. Works perfectly on the lash line or for a smoked out look.
24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil - Urban Decay | Sephora
One of the best mascaras I've ever tried. Gives my lashes this beautiful lift, separation, and length without feeling heavy or clumpy at all. The curved brush reaches every single lash. My eyes look so awake and open with this on.
Lash Idôle Lash-Lifting & Volumizing Mascara - Lancôme | Sephora
My favorite affordable mascara for years. It gives so much volume and definition — my lashes look so bold and full. Honestly just as good as some expensive mascaras. Reliable every single time.
Very Black Lash Sensational Mascara - Maybelline | Ulta Beauty
Lips — Oils, Glosses & Liners
The juicy glossy lip products that make your lips look so much fuller
Can't believe how good this is. Super comfortable, zero stickiness, and my lips look amazing. I use it every single day now.
3D Hydra Lip Oil 01
I always repurchase this one. The color is so beautiful and it feels so light on the lips — not sticky at all. I love pairing it with a brownish nude liner for the most gorgeous everyday lip.
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Gloss Bomb Lip Gloss | Sephora
This is pure perfection. Gives your lips this juicy glossy shine and a natural plump without any discomfort. And the packaging is just so luxurious — it looks and feels so expensive. Obsessed.
Big Lip Plumpgasm Plumping Lip Gloss - Charlotte Tilbury | Sephora
Another Fenty slay. This gloss stick makes my lips look so full and beautiful and it feels more like a lip oil than a regular gloss which I love. So hydrating and comfortable to wear.
Gloss Bomb Stix High-Shine Gloss Stick - Fenty Beauty by Rihanna | Sephora
This gloss is rich and beautiful but not sticky at all — and it actually lasts on the lips. The best part is the price, it's so affordable for how good it is.
Ice Lifter Gloss with Hyaluronic Acid - Maybelline | Ulta Beauty
Such a beautiful everyday gloss. Feels so comfortable and non-sticky and it lasts so long. The color is subtle but so flattering — perfect alone or layered over a nude lipstick. Amazing quality for the price.

I lovelovelove this one. Gives your lips this juicy glassy shine without any stickiness. Keeps your lips soft and hydrated all day. The shade Oat is my favorite — the perfect soft everyday nude.
