Skin Prep & Skincare
Good makeup starts with good skin. These are the serums, moisturizers, and quick fixes that keep my skin calm, glowy, and ready for anything, even on mornings when I have zero time.
If you get little bumps or clogged pores, this is the serum. Mandelic acid is so gentle, it smooths and clears without any of the irritation I get from stronger acids.
Sofie Pavitt Face Mandelic Acid Exfoliating & Clearing Serum
The easiest way to look like you just got back from vacation. Mix a few drops into your moisturizer and you get the most natural glow by morning, never orange or streaky.
Caudalie Self-Tan Hydrating Face Drops
SPF that doubles as a glow primer, so it's the one I actually remember to wear. Sheer tint, no white cast, and the niacinamide keeps my skin looking smooth under makeup.
YISE Beauty Skin Glow SPF 30 Tinted Sunscreen Primer
My skin's 911 button. I spritz it after cleansing, over makeup, and anytime I'm red or broken out. It's so gentle and calms everything down fast. Lives on my nightstand.
Tower 28 Beauty SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray with Hypochlorous Acid
My weekly reset for dull, bumpy skin. Ten minutes with this and my skin looks brighter and smoother, perfect before an event or a big filming day.
Tata Harper Brightening Resurfacing Mask
The moisturizer I reach for when my skin is being dramatic. Lightweight but so soothing, and it takes my redness way down. Pairs perfectly with the SOS spray.
Tower 28 Beauty SOS Daily Skin Barrier Redness Recovery Moisturizer
Rich without feeling heavy, and my skin looks so bouncy and plump in the morning. My go-to night cream once the weather turns cold. Bonus: it's refillable!
Innbeauty Project Extreme Cream Firming & Lifting Moisturizer
Pop one on a breakout before bed and it's so much flatter by morning. They also stop me from picking, which honestly is half the battle. Always in my bathroom drawer.
Peace Out Salicylic Acid Acne Healing Dots
Complexion
My secret to skin that looks like skin, just better. Sheer foundations, brightening correctors, and the brushes that make everything melt right in.
Foundation for people who don't love wearing foundation. Swipe, blend with your fingers, done. It's sheer, dewy, and makes my skin look like a better version of itself.
Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Foundation Stick
The splurge foundation that's genuinely worth it. Feels like skincare, looks like really good skin, and it never settles into lines. Sale time is the moment to grab it!
Westman Atelier Suprême Bio-Complex Liquid Foundation
Tiny compact, major results. A little dab cancels out dark circles and redness so I need way less concealer on top. The packaging is so pretty too, it feels like jewelry.
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Vanish Color Corrector
For the mornings I look like I slept three hours. It brightens my under eyes instantly and feels creamy, never cakey. A must if dark circles are your thing too.
Kosas Revealer Extra Bright Color Corrector for Dark Circles
The classic for a reason. I press a little under my eyes and around my nose and my makeup stays put all day without looking flat or powdery. One jar lasts forever.
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
The little pink powder that makes my under eyes look awake. It sets concealer and adds the softest brightness. Once you try it you'll never go back to regular powder there.
Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder for Under Eyes
This brush is why my concealer looks airbrushed. The tiny dense tip gets right into the inner corners and around my nose, and it blends without wiping anything away.
Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Concealer Brush
The one brush I'd keep if I had to toss the rest. It blends cream foundation, blush, and bronzer so seamlessly, and it's chic enough to leave out on the counter.
Merit Brush No. 1 Tapered Blending Brush
Cheeks & Glow
Blush is my non-negotiable. This is where all my flushed, sun-kissed, lit-from-within favorites live, from creams to powders to the highlighter I'm obsessed with.
Four shades of the prettiest glow in one palette. I use the pink as a blush topper and the champagne on my cheekbones. It photographs like a dream and makes the best gift.
Dior Backstage Glow Maximizer Face Palette
The cutest little stick that lives in my purse. Two taps on my cheeks, blend with my fingers, and I look like I just came in from the cold. So buildable and dewy.
Rhode Pocket Blush Hydrating Cream Blush
The iconic peachy pink with that golden shimmer. It flatters literally everyone, which is why it's my go-to gift for friends. A true classic that never goes out of style.
NARS Talc-Free Powder Blush in Orgasm
Same iconic Orgasm shade in a liquid that lasts all day. One dot per cheek is plenty, and it melts into the skin so it looks like a natural flush, not makeup.
NARS Insatiable Longwearing Liquid Blush in Orgasm
A creamy bronzer that gives me that warm, just-back-from-the-beach look even in November. It blends like a dream with fingers or a brush and never looks muddy.
Westman Atelier Sun Tone Bronzing Crème Cream Bronzer
My no-mirror bronzer. Swipe it on the high points of my face, tap it in, and I'm instantly warmer and more awake. The gold tube is so chic in my makeup bag too.
Merit Bronze Balm Sheer Bronzer
The softest, most natural flush. It's sheer enough that you can't mess it up and it layers beautifully over the bronze balm. Get two shades, trust me.
Merit Flush Balm Cream Blush
The most buttery highlighter I've ever touched. It gives a lit-from-within glow, never glittery, and it looks gorgeous on camera. The compact is so pretty too.
Rare Beauty Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter
Eyes & Brows
Pretty eye looks in two minutes. Shimmery sticks you can swipe on with your finger, palettes for when you want to play, plus the brow gel and mascara I use every single day.
Tubing mascara is a game changer: long, separated lashes that don't smudge and slide off with warm water. The brown shade is so soft and pretty for everyday.
Tarte Tartelette XL Lengthening & Tubing Mascara in Brown
The perfect cozy neutrals with one sparkly lid shade for holiday parties. Every shade is wearable, and the red packaging makes it such a festive gift.

A one-and-done eye look. I tap it on with my finger and get the prettiest shimmer that lasts all day without creasing. Perfect for when I'm running out the door.
Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerise Cream Eyeshadow
Four shades, endless looks. The formula is so silky and blendable, and the gold compact feels so luxe. This is the palette I grab when I want an easy, polished eye.

Liquid shadow that dries down and does not budge. One swipe gives a gorgeous wash of shimmer, and it's the easiest way to look done for dinner or a holiday party.
Armani Beauty Eye Tint Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeshadow
The OG eyeshadow stick and still the best. Swipe, smudge, done in ten seconds, and it stays put through long days. I keep one in every bag for quick touch-ups.
Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Cream Eyeshadow
Fluffy, full brows in one step. It tints, fills, and holds everything in place all day without going crunchy. I genuinely skip brow pencil because of this.

Lips
The balms, glosses, and liners living in every bag I own. Juicy, glossy, a little addictive, and a few make the cutest stocking stuffers.

My bedtime lip ritual. I slather it on at night and wake up with the softest, plumpest lips. It smells like honey and the little gold jar is too cute on a nightstand.

Smooth, creamy, and glides on without tugging. I line and fill my whole lip with it, then add gloss on top for that juicy 90s look. Such a good deal for the quality.
Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Liner
All the shine of a gloss with zero stickiness, in a twist-up stick you can swipe on without a mirror. Birthday Suit is the perfect everyday mauvey nude.

The prettiest sheer tint with glassy shine, and the packaging is pure luxury. It feels like a balm, looks like a gloss, and is the chicest little stocking stuffer.

A lip oil with real color that isn't sticky at all. It's my throw-it-in-your-pocket, look-polished-in-two-seconds lip, and the gold cap makes me so happy.

Hair Care
Everything that keeps my hair soft, shiny, and frizz-free between blowouts. Pre-wash oils, masks, and the stylers that make good hair days way easier.
A powder dry shampoo with the cutest puff, no aerosol and no white cast. A few pats at my roots and my blowout lives another day. It smells so fresh and clean.
Crown Affair The Dry Shampoo
Five minutes in the shower and my dry, heat-styled ends feel silky again. It's affordable, smells amazing, and honestly works better than masks three times the price.

A few pumps on damp hair and it detangles, softens, and protects without weighing anything down. My hair just looks healthier since I started using it.

The chicest claw clips that actually hold all my hair. They grip without pulling or leaving a dent, and the tortoise and cream shades look so expensive.
