Eyebrows
Makes my brows stay in place! A LITTLE goes a LONG way.
Eyebrow Glue Instant Brow Styler | NYX Professional Makeup
The color I use is Espresso. I love that this pencil defines my brows but also keeps them looking natural.
Micro Brow Eyebrow Pencil | NYX Professional Makeup
Another great eyebrow gel option. I rotate between this one and the NYX one.
Gel et cire sourcils - Benefit Cosmetics
Lips
Not only do I have sensitive skin but I also have sensitive lips. There are only two brands that I can use on my lips as far as lip balm and Carmex is one of them. I only get the original scent.
Carmex Lip Balm
I love NYX! Now the applicator took some getting used to because it’s not the standard soft brush. But I love the way it feels, it’s not sticky at all. It makes my lips look glossed up and juicy lol
Jelly Job Full-Bodied High Shine Gloss
A great option especially. I lived by MAC’s chestnut lip liner but I love a more affordable option and this liner is just as good!
Cream Glide Deep Brown Lip Liner - Dark Cocoa | e.l.f. Cosmetics
Theee best nude! If you can get your hands on this buy multiple because this shade (Fortune Cookie) is never in stock at Target.
NYX Butter Gloss, Non-Sticky Lip Gloss
Face
Great for hiding my dark marks from acne.
Camo Color Corrector Concealer
I have the shades honey and translucent. I use the translucent under my eyes and the honey I use on my whole face to set the makeup.
Translucent Loose Setting Powder
I’m a beginner at this make up thing and this skin tint is the best. I haven’t graduated to foundation so this skin tint makes my basic makeup routine super easy. I’m in the shade 14.
Eaze Drop Blur + Smooth Tint Stick — 20
My FAVORITE blush ever!!!!! This is a GREAT dupe to the Patrick Ta blush duo. The shade I have is Beach Bonfire and trust I will be getting more lol
Cheek Thrills Multi-Finish Face Trio - Morphe
Morphe’s rebrand needs to be studied because everything that they have been dropping is a 10/10! I have quite a few brushes from their new line. (M142, M163, M164, M202, M250 and M401)
Eye, Face, and Full Makeup Brush Sets - Morphe
I combine this with the Morphe Continuous Setting Mist. Chefs kiss in my opinion!
CHARLOTTE TILBURY Airbrush flawless setting spray - Sephora
Loveeee this! It’s compact and I carry it everywhere; even when I don’t wear makeup because it has a mirror! It’s literally a two in one. Easy to use as well.
Shop the Best Blotting Paper | Sephora
A GREAT product for beginners like myself. It glides on easy and it’s easy for me to control how little or more I want on my face. I have this in the shade Sculpted.
Morphe Shapelifter Micro Contouring Stick
Another great skin tint. It’s lightweight and gives my skin a glow. I’m still not sold on foundation yet so I’ll continue to use skin tints.
Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint Foundation with Peptides + Ceramide
I use this day and night for my under eyes only and as a primer. It does have a scent to it so I wouldn’t recommend if you have sensitive skin.
Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base Hydrating Primer
Eyes
If you want to splurge on a concealer, this is the brand to do so. I am in the shades 4 and 4.5 neutral. I also use this on my nose and under my contour on my face. Multiple ways that this product can be used.
Dior Concealers: Skin & Undereye Color Corrector Products
The best mascara on the market. I love how skinny the brush is especially because I don’t have full natural lashes. It does not clump either.
Extended Play Gigablack Lash Mascara - MAC Cosmetics
The best thing since sliced bread. Putting on lash glue and full lashes is not my thing. Arden coming out with these made my life so much easier. Before I put the lashes on I do put mascara on so that they can stay on longer and stick easier.
Ardell Winks Press On Eyelash Extensions
I’ve finally mastered putting eyeliner on! I have this in the shade Smokin Topaz.
Vivid Rich Mechanical Pencil | NYX Professional Makeup
