items As a former hairstylist (and someone who’s also worked with makeup), I’ve tested hundreds of products over the years. These are my absolute tried-and-true favorites!
When I’m not using a tinted moisturizer and want more coverage, this is the foundation I reach for. I love that it’s made with all-natural ingredients, and the serum formula works beautifully for mature skin (and of course, younger skin too!). It doe...
ILIA Foundation – SF1.5: Very light shade with neutral undertones
I love this blurring setting powder from ILIA! I also appreciate that it has clean ingredients. It works perfectly with the skin tint and serum foundation!
Soft Focus Finishing Powder – Radiant Finishing Powder | ILIA
This is my tried-and-true, go-to skin tint. The serum formula applies smoothly and blends in seamlessly and effortlessly. It looks super natural and is perfect for a no-makeup makeup look. It comes in tons of shades and, in my opinion, should be ligh...
ILIA Skin Tint – Very Light with Neutral Cool Undertones | ILIA Beauty
This is my favorite bronzer of all time. It’s super highly pigmented, so I just tap my brush lightly in the pan and it’s enough to bronze my entire face! It gives the perfect natural-looking, bronzy glow.
Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer
This amazing cream works great for reducing frizz and boosting shine! I have naturally curly hair and live in FL, and it works incredibly well—even in the humidity!
Supernova Moisture & Shine Cream
Another Amika product I’m obsessed with. These products work sooo well, smell amazing, and a little goes a long way! You’ll immediately notice a difference when you use this spray. It also helps cut down drying time!
The Wizard Detangling Hair Primer
Amika hair products are my latest obsession! I was introduced to them by my hairstylist and fell in love with how well they WORK (and how amazing they smell) and how they make my hair look! I’ll share my favorites, starting with this one…
Brooklyn Bombshell Blowout Spray
This setting powder ties for first place! It looks so smooth and beautiful, isn’t cakey, and sets my liquid and cream products perfectly. It also comes in a few different shades.
Translucent Loose Setting Powder – Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder | Ulta Beauty
I’ve tried dozens of concealers over the years, and now that I’m older, I’m in love with the Ultra Creamy Shape Tape! It provides the perfect coverage and does NOT settle into fine lines at all. I love this product!
Shape Tape Ultra Creamy Concealer – Tarte Shape Tape Ultra Creamy Concealer | Ulta Beauty
Hempz lotions are the only lotions I use. They’re clean, vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free, and they smell amazing! There are so many wonderful scents it’s hard to choose my favorite, lol. They also melt into the skin instead of sitting on top of ...
Sweet Pineapple & Honey Melon Herbal Body Moisturizer – Hempz Sweet Pineapple & Honey Melon Herbal Body Moisturizer | Ulta Beauty
The BEST dry shampoo EVER. That’s all.
Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo – Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo | Ulta Beauty
This tonic is sprayed onto the scalp 2x/day or as needed. This 3-step line is gluten-free, vegan, color-safe, and paraben-free.
Tea Tree Scalp Care Regeniplex Tonic – Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Scalp Care Regeniplex Tonic | Ulta Beauty
This is the flat iron that I personally use. Again, hair products and tools MATTER. This iron works amazingly well for both straightening and curling the hair. It’s a bit of an investment, but I’ve had mine for years and I hope it lasts forever!
SinglePass StyleMax Professional 1" Flat Iron with Automated Heat – T3 SinglePass StyleMax Professional
This is the hair dryer I love and personally use (though I’d purchase the Dyson if it wasn’t so pricey!). This isn’t “cheap,” but it’s well worth the investment. Hair tools MATTER. This hair dryer dries hair faster, which means less heat damage to th...
