Foundation
Here are some of my favourite foundations for a flawless base
For a glowy, mid coverage base with a radiant finish! This foundation has spf 15, withstands oxidation and comes in 42 shades! When ordering from the official website (linked) you will get free samples and maybe even some mini size products.
Dior Forever Skin Glow Foundation SPF 15
3 in 1 - spf, concealer and full coverage foundation! If you struggle with your foundation separating/breaking up during the day - this is the answear to your problem!
Mini CC+ Cream Full Coverage Color Correcting Foundation with SPF 50+
One of 2024 most polular foundations! It has great coverage but does not feel thick on the skin. Another benefit is that it has skincare ingredients like niacinamide and won’t dry out your skin. I recommend ordering it online from the official websit...
Huda Beauty Easy Blur Foundation 30ml (Various Shades)
This is a weightless radiant foundation that wears up to 16 hours. It has buildable medium to full coverage and is suitable for normal, combination to oily skin types.
NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation (Various Shades)
This is a moisturizing, lightweight skin tint for a glowy, hydrated, even skin tone. However, I would not recommend it for blemish prone skin since it has not enough coverage. This is a perfect skin tin for dry or mature skin.
Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint 35ml (Various Shades)
One of my most loved brand for foundation is absolutely Dior! They have great foundations that are infused with beneficial skincare ingredients. Most of their foundations are medium coverage but long lasting. This is, like most of their foundations, ...
Dior Forever Hydra Nude
The best cream blushes
I love to use cream blushes before powder blushes!
Rare Beauty cream blush. My favorite shades are happy and encourage for a subtle but effective look
Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
1
Make up by Mario contour und blush - perfect for traveling
Mini Sculpt & Pop On-The-Go
Even though the soft pinch is still my favorite - this one also deserves a spot on this list. I would say it is a little more sheer and glowy compared to the Rare Beauty soft pinch blush.
Stay Vulnerable Melting Cream Blush
For everyone that prefers a cream blush as a stick. It blends well, easy to use and perfect for traveling. Another bonus is that there are many shades available.
Baby Cheeks Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Stick
Another great choice for a liquid blush is Nars Afterglow. My favorite shade is dusty rose
Afterglow Liquid Blush
Powder blush favorites
I always use a powder blush to set my cream blush
No need to explain this one - obviously there is a reason why it’s cult! I recommend always ordering Dior from the official website (linked)
Rosy Glow Blush
This one has a more satin than glowy finish
Silky-Soft Powder Blush - Benefit Cosmetics
If you want a blush and highlighter 2 in 1 search no more! It gives a radiant, subtle but glowy look - perfect for every day and on the go!
Mini Hollywood Blush & Glow Palette
The famous Patrick Ta blush has to be on the list! This is a cream and powder blush duo. The brand recommends using the powder blush first and applying the cream blush on top of it. This is definitely a must try! I love the shades Just Enough and Not...
PATRICK TA Major Headlines Double-Take Cream and Powder Blush Duo (Various Shades)
I love this product because it has a bronzer, blush and highlighter. The hoola shade is a classic bronzer that suits all light to medium skin tones while dandelion is a shiny blush suitable for lighter skin tones and pompom for medium skin tones or a...
Cheeky Love Letter Blush and Bronzer Palette
Best bronzers for a sun-kissed look
Here are some of my favorite bronzers
This is one of my favorite bronzers because it is easy to blend and has a natural finish. It can even be applied to the eyelids for a warm wash of color.
Warm Wishes Effortless Cream Bronzer Stick
For everyone that does not like a glowy bronzer - here is a matte version. I would recommend this one for combination and oily skin types (do not use cream bronzers without setting them!). I love to use this one during summer since glowy bronzers oft...
Hoola Matte Powder Bronzer
Absolutely worth the money! This is a glowing bronzer from Hourglass and one of their bestsellers. I recommend buying the mini size since it lasts for years
Ambient® Lighting Bronzer
Highlighters
Use it on your cheekbones, under your eyebrows, on the tip of your nose or wherever you want shimmer and glow!
Starting off strong with the Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette. This palette suits all skin tones and can be used as a regular highlighter, eye shadow or even as a blush. I love to use the silver shade under my eyebrows for a little facelift effect 🤫
BACKSTAGE Glow Face Palette
This Rare Beauty highlighter lasts all day and gives a subtle, healthy, natural looking glow. I love to use this one during the day but prefer the Dior backstage for a “going out make up look”
Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter
This is my all time favorite highlighter (shade pure platinum sparkle)! It really looks like 3D diamond dust. This is a different type of highlighter since it does not give a “glowy look” but sparkles (see the swatch picture for a better understandin...
Diamond Bomb All-Over Diamond Veil
I love the shade 03 pink halo for a light rose-silver finish! It is infused with hyaluronic acid for extra hydration.

Eyeshadows
These are my must have eyeshadows
A classic eyeshadow palette with all the nudes and glitters you need in your make up bag!

Charlotte’s Beautifying Eye Trends Eyeshadow Palette
My go to concealers
I have many concealers because all have different purposes (covering acne or post acne marks, contour and highlight, covering dark circles and brightening the under eye area).
This is my absolute favorite concealer for full coverage. It is crease proof and easy blendable. I use it to conceal acne for a flawless complexion.
22N Light Neutral Shape Tape Concealer - Tarte | Ulta Beauty
This is my go to concealer for my under eye area because it is full coverage but still weightless. It blends very well and does not crease into fine lines!
Birch Travel Size Vanish Airbrush Concealer - HOURGLASS | Ulta Beauty
This concealer is a little different than the previous two beceause it has a more radiant finish with medium coverage. I have it in a lighter shade and use it to highlight the high points of my face and to brighten the under eye area.
Vanilla Radiant Creamy Concealer - NARS | Ulta Beauty
This is not a classic concealer and would not work on acne but it is a great product to brighten the under eye area, especially if you have dark circles.
Positive Light Under Eye Brightener
Lips
I love to use lipsticks with a shiny finish, lip gloss and lip stains. Here are some of my favorites
The one thing I can’t stand about lip gloss is when it is “sticky”. I love this one from Tower 28 because it is shiny but does not feel sticky. My favorite shade is Pistachio (a slightly rose tone but not pink).
ShineOn Lip Jelly Hydrating Non-Sticky Lip Gloss
No need to say much about this one since it is one od the most famous lipsticks and shades. I love the shade pillow talk nude pink and I always combine it with the lip liner in the same shade!
Mini Pillow Talk Lipstick & Liner Set
Even though I do not like matte lipsticks, I always use a matte lip liner for a longer lasting look. I have this one from Sephora in many shades because it one of the best. My most used shades are 28, 29 and 35.
Retractable Rouge Gel Lip Liner
I love the Tarte maracuja lip balm because it very hydrating and perfect when I have dry lips. For longer lasting results, I always combine it with a lip liner. My favorite shades are Rose and Strawberry.
Maracuja Juicy Lip Balm Gloss
The BEST setting sprays
A step that can’t be skipped if you want to achieve a long lasting make up look!
Trust me when I say this is one of the best setting sprays in the world! It has a natural, radiant finish and does not “change” the look of your foundation. It really keeps everything in place for the whole day (and night!).
All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray
Another setting spray that I love to use especially during summer since it is waterproof (and sweat proof!!). It helps to keep everything in the right place and is a must step to achieve a flawless finish! I love using it also to prime my face before...
Airbrush Flawless Waterproof Setting Spray
This is the most recent product in my make up routine and I absolutely love it! As you can see from my recommendations, I prefer setting sprays instead of powders because they are easier (and quicker) to use. This setting spray blures all your pores ...
