As a minimal makeup mami, I’m always looking for easy-to-use, cost-effective, makeup products that aren’t going to do numbers on my skin and aren’t going to make it clear that I have no clue what I’m doing.. 😅 Here are a list of some of my faves!

Lippies 💄💋
I’ve been an avid NYX product lover for awhile, but stumbled on the Lip I.V. Hydrating Stain sometime last year and have acquired almost every shade since. 🥴 I love a good stain and this does not disappoint! The main selling points for me are that i...
NYX Lip I.V. Hydrating Lip Stain 💋
These lippies give a hydrating gloss with a bit of a plump and are perfect for a girl on the go. The pigment is buildable so you can swipe just a bit or add a couple of layers for a brighter pop. It also feels so good on your lips! Obviously gives yo...
Maracuja Juicy Lips - Tinted Lip Plumping Gloss
Another lightly tinted (and this ones lightly tasty!) lippie for the win. Summer Fridays has great ingredients that leave your lips feeling extra nourished. I always have one of these in my go-bag. Poppy is one of my faves!
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm
Summer Fridays is just that good! The Dream Lip Oil is great as a stand alone or used on top of another color to layer it up. The vitamin E makes your lips feel so soft and makes it go on really easy.
Summer Fridays Dream Lip Oil
Guys- I used this in college and then lost it and couldn't find/remember what it was for so long! Last year I found that they brought it back and was through the roof. I bought three just to be safe. It's the perfect shade of deep cherry buildable ti...
E.L.F. Sheer Slick Lipstick Black Cherry
Face Base
This is my go-to when I want just a sheer look to even out my skin tone, but it can be used as a buildable coverage as well! Because it is thin and hydrating a little goes a long way.
Wet n Wild Bare Focus Tinted Hydrator | Light Medium
I’ll be honest, I don’t wear blush super often because my cheeks flush easily already, but I like to keep this stick within reach since I use the illuminator end frequently and then I have the blush end when I do need a touch of color on my cheeks. I...
Wander Beauty On-the-Glow Blush and Illuminator
Around the Eyes
I swear by this brow pencil! I've tried many of the years, but since I found this one I've stuck with it. It goes on smooth and the shape of the tip is perfect for a quick application, because no matter how “no makeup” I am, I will always take the tw...
Fill & Fluff Eyebrow Pomade Pencil | NYX Professional Makeup
I have tried so many different fancy mascaras and just keep going back to this one every time. For daytime, you just need a couple of swipes to make you look alive- or is that just me? For a bolder evening look, this mascara is easy to build for more...
L'Oreal Voluminous Waterproof Mascara
When I don't want to do anything else (besides my brows, of course)- this is what I reach for! It just take a little dab and a swipe under your eyes and it instantly makes you look more awake. So inexpensive, but does wonders! I use the Light Rose co...
Catrice Under Eye Brightener
Now eyeshadow is not an every day or even an every week thing for me, but when it is I tend to reach for one of my Milani palettes. They are the right amount of pigment and blend well no matter what type of applicator you're using (even your finger)....
Milani Gilded Mini Eyeshadow Palettes
This is the palette I keep in my travel bag because it's perfect for a daily look with any of my corporate baddie conference outfits. The palette is slim so it's easy to pack, the colors are vibrant and blend well!
