Primers
It is extremely hydrating and gives your skin a natural/subtle glow. It never pills and always makes my makeup look very skin-like. I like how this is hyrdating and grippy, but not as grippy as other primers.
Plump Right Back Face Primer Serum | NYX Professional Makeup
This will make your makeup last all day long. Similar to the plump it right back primer it is hydrating, but way more on the grippy side. I love the packaging and it is the best primer for longevity.
The Face Glue Gripping Primer - NYX Cosmetics
Can you tell I love NYX primers ! This is amazing if you have dry/ normal/ acne prone skin. It's hydrating and blurring at the same time. I'm shocked at how much this blurs while also protecting your skin from harmful UV rays. Gives your skin a beaut...
Blurscreen: Primer with SPF | NYX Professional Makeup
The best grippy primer in existence. If you love grippy primers this is the grippiest. It has a nice watermelon scent. Truly makes your base look so hydrated and perfect.
Jelly Pop Dew Primer - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
This is a super smoothing primer with a delicious marshmallow scent ( I wish they had a perfume with this scent ). It's very smoothing while still being hydrating. It makes your base look so smooth and flawless. Works well for oily skin as well !
Marshmellow Smooth Makeup Primer - NYX Cosmetics
This is the best blurring/mattifying primer I have ever tried. Great for my oily/acne prone girlies. If you want a smooth/ matte base you have to give this a try.
Liquid Poreless Putty Primer | e.l.f. Cosmetics
Foundation/ Skin Tint
One of my top 3 foundations. I'm obsessed with the doe foot applicator as it makes the application process easier. This is a light to medium coverage foundation that is super easy to build up. The shade range is amazing especially if you have cool or...
about-face: High-performance, vegan + clean beauty products by ...
An extremely underrated gem at Ulta. This is another amazing foundation especially for the price. This is the perfect dupe for so many high end foundations such as Haus Labs and Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk. It is medium coverage, but also buildable....
Makeup Revolution Skin Silk Serum Foundation
This is great for those of you who like a glowier foundation. I honestly love all of L'oreal's foundations/skin tints. If you're a dewy girl this is for you. Definitely medium to full coverage. It's glowy but it doesn't emphasize texture.
Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation for Dry Skin - L'Oréal Paris
This is the best foundation I have ever tried for longevity. It is full coverage and has a demi-matte finish. If you want full glam airbrushed skin this is the foundation you need to try.
Infallible 32 Hour Lightweight Fresh Wear Foundation - L'Oréal Paris
Probably my favorite L'oreal foundation for everyday use. The applicator can be a little difficult to work with, but the skin tint itself is amazing. I would consider this to be more of a foundation than a skin tint though because it is more medium t...
True Match Hyaluronic Tinted Serum - L'Oréal Paris
This elf foundation has changed the game. It's medium to full coverage with a true satin/ demi-matte finish. This is also great for those full glam days. I love this when I want more coverage, but still want my base to be skin like. It is very smooth...
Soft Glam Satin Foundation - Medium Coverage - e.l.f. Cosmetics
This is very similar to the L'oreal skin tint, but a little more glowier. The applicator also works better than the L'oreal one. I love the shade range. This is medium to full coverage with a dewy skin like finish.
Super Stay 24-Hour Skin Tint with Vitamin C - Maybelline
This is very similar to the L'oreal skin tint but with more coverage. It also has a thinner consistency than the skin tint. This is a great dupe for the Haus Labs foundation as it has a medium coverage skin-like finish.
True Match Super-Blendable Foundation - L'Oréal Paris
Concealer
Now this is a full coverage concealer. Great for my full glam baddies. This will give you that high glam, air brushed, full coverage finish. It will cover up the darkest of dark circles. Consistency is on the thicker side, but not too thick at all. I...
Infallible Full Wear Concealer up to 24H Full Coverage - Loreal Paris
One of my favorite concealers of all time. Very full coverage. I love the applicator it has such a unique shape that is perfect for getting into the nooks and crannies of the face. It has a serum like consistency and is great for all skin types. It t...
Magic Touch Concealer | Anastasia Beverly Hills
There's a reason this is called the airbrush concealer because you're under eyes will be so smooth when you use this. Another super full coverage concealer. The consistency of this is perfect. If you're more on the oily side this will be great for yo...
Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer - Hourglass Cosmetics
This is the best concealer for spot concealing. I love to put this on my blemishes and then just go over it with foundation. I don't blend it out I just cover it up with foundation and the color of your blemishes will be invisible.
Soft Matte Complete Concealer | NARS Cosmetics
A great dupe for the Nars pot concealer. I use it the exact same way. It's super creamy, full coverage, and great for covering blemishes as well.
Pro Fix Stick Correcting Concealer - NYX Cosmetics
Bronzer/Contour
This is my holy grail cream bronzing stick. It smells just like chocolate with a hint of orange. The creamiest of cream bronzers and blends out like a dream. It's not too warm toned and not too cool toned, so I like to call it a brontour. Definitely ...
Easy to Use Blendable Cream Bronzing Stick - Too Faced
The best contour stick you can find at the drug store. Depending on the shade you get this can look more like a bronzer than a contour, but I love how easy it is to apply. Great for sculpting the nose and cheeks. It also comes with a highlighter end ...
Wonder Stick Contour and Highlighter Stick - NYX Cosmetics
This is a very light coverage contour that can also tend to be more of a bronzer. I personally love the sponge applicator, but it has a tendency to get a little messy at times ( make sure you lock the tip after use ). This blends out really easily an...
Sculpt Tape™ Contour | Tarte™ Cosmetics
This has a beautiful glow to it. Medium coverage. It does have some sparkle in it, so beware of that if you don't like sparkle. I'm not the biggest fan of sparkle in my bronzers, but this actually looks quite nice on the skin. It is really easy to bl...
Bronzed Cream Bronzer - Juvia's Place
This a solid cheap contour. It is a true contour shade and easy to blend out. Because the applicator is so small I find that I have to use a lot of product to get the level of pigment/ amount of product I want, but I personally don't mind it.
Conceal + Perfect Liquid Contour - Milani Cosmetics
One of the best powder bronzers on the market. The shade range is immaculate, of course ( Thank You, Rihanna ). Has the perfect level of pigment and easy to build up. Never patchy and it makes you look like you spent a month in the Caribbean.
Sun Stalk'r Instant Warmth Bronzer - Fenty Beauty
I love that this comes with two different bronzers because one is more warm and the other more cool. You can use it all year round when you're tan in the summer and when you're pale in the winter. The best cheap powder bronzer on the market. Shade ra...
Bronzed Duo Bronzer - Juvia's Place
These smell so amazing takes me right back to summer. Super pigmented like the most pigmented powder bronzer ever, so just be wary of that when applying because it will take a minute to blend out if you apply too much. I love lots of pigment and how ...
Buttermelt Powder Bronzer | NYX Professional Makeup
I love to use this on myself, but also when doing other people's makeup. This doesn't have the best shade range, but if you have fair to medium skin it should work for you. I love that the contour shades are true contour shade. Perfect for getting a ...
Contour Makeup Products & Palettes - NYX Cosmetics
Blush
The pigment is insane on this one, which is why I love it so much. It lasts so long because it is so pigmented. Never patchy and lasts all day long. The finish is pretty natural, more on the dewy side. Way better than the rare beauty liquid blush. I ...
Earth-Toned, Natural Cheek Liquid Blush - Juvia's Place
This has a unique balm to powder formula. I specifically love the shades score and Big O they are so beautiful. Can be difficult to work with so I don't recommend it for beginners.
Cheek Freak Blush Balm - about-face
The Colourpop pressed powder blushes are some of the best powder blushes on the market. People always ask me how I get my blush to last all day and this is my answer. My favorite shades are papaya and Hot 2 Touch. These are perfectly pigmented and la...
ColourPop®: Shop Blush | Lip & Cheek Balm, Liquid & Powder
I have 2 of these and they are so amazing. Again I love how these come with 2 different shades it's such a good deal. The pigment is beautiful and it looks so airbrushed.
Earth-Toned, Natural Cheek Blushed Duos - Juvia's Place
These are the most blurring powder blushes in existence. If you want a flawless, airbrushed, smooth blush this is the one. It is so smooth and velvet and very pigmented. They also smell like cotton candy. They have a beautiful satin finish. My favori...
Blush Cruelty-Free Cheek Makeup - Too Faced
Brows
This is the best brow product on the market right now. It comes with a brow pencil and a pen. I love to use both of them together. I also like to use the pen side on my more natural brow days and the pencil side when I want a thicker/ full glam brow....
Brow Blade 2-In-1 Eyebrow Pen + Waterproof Pencil - Urban Decay
This is a great product if you like to have fluffy brows or a more sculpted brow. I love that it comes with a comb and a brush so i can lay the hairs flat on my face and I can sculpt the shape of my brow as well. It doesn't dry flaky or weird. It's p...
Brow Laminating Gel - Clear-Drying Brow Gel | e.l.f. Cosmetics
I stole this from my mom the other day and I was shocked at how good it was. I literally just swiped it on my brows a few times and it looked like I had thicker brows. This is great for those lazy makeup days or if you don't like filling in your brow...
Express Brow™ Fast Sculpt™ Gel Brow Mascara - Maybelline
This lasts surprisingly long for such a tiny product. It makes your brows stay in place all day and is truly like a glue. Make sure you're not putting too much product on because it can dry weird if you do and you'll be able to see the product on you...
Eyebrow Glue Instant Brow Styler | NYX Professional Makeup
Another perfect lazy girl brow product. I love to messily run this through my brows, then clean up the surrounding areas with a Q-tip, and voila, you have thick, filled in eyebrows !
Thick it. Stick It! Brow Gel | NYX Professional Makeup - NYX Cosmetics
A cheaper alternative to the Urban Decay brow blade but without the pencil side. This is an amazing brow pen that is super pigmented and last all day. Extremely easy to work with and gives you beautiful brows.
Lift & Snatch! Brow Tint Pen - NYX Cosmetics
Probably my all time favorite brow gel. I use this almost everyday. It keeps those stubborn brow hairs in place all day long. It's just so perfect.
Brow Freeze® Gel | Anastasia Beverly Hills
Not only is this great for the laminated/sculpted brow effect but this is also great for gluing your brows down. This lays your brows flat to your face and I mean flat ! This is the best brow product for laminated and sculpted brows. Makes your brows...
Brow Lift - Clear Eyebrow Gel - e.l.f. Cosmetics
Mascara
This is my day 1 mascara for a reason. I've been using this mascara for 5+ years. It is extremely lengthening and doesn't make your lashes look clumpy at all. It never flakes, smudges, or runs. Sometimes it's even waterproof on me even though it does...
L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Lengthening Mascara
This is the best waterproof mascara I have ever used. It doesn't way your lashes down or make them look clumpy. I've worn this in the ocean and the pool and had very minimal smudging. It's hard to find a perfect waterproof mascara, but this is the cl...
Lash Sensational® Luscious Waterproof Mascara - Maybelline
I love this just as much as the OG telescopic. This gives you more volume and thickness than the OG telescopic. The applicator is amazing as it reaches every single lash. This gives you beautiful thick and long lashes.
Telescopic Instant Lift Washable Mascara - L'Oréal Paris
This was my most used mascara of this year. It gives you so much volume and length and gives me very thick lashes. It makes it look like I have more lashes than I actually do. Never flakes or smudges.
Falsies Surreal Lash Extension Mascara - Maybelline
I love the hourglass wand on this mascara because it makes it easy to reach every lash. This gives me lots of length and volume, but not the thickness that the falsies surreal gives me. Doesn't flake or smudge.
The Falsies Lash Lift® Washable Mascara - Maybelline
Kim Kardashian's favorite mascara for a reason. Ever since I bought the Lancome hypnose mascara trio at an aiport I have not turned back. This gives me incredible volume, length, and thickness. The wand is curved and very odd but works surprisingly w...
Hypnôse Drama Mascara - Up to 17x Volume Black ... - Lancome
This is going to give you lots of length and volume and I mean lots. Not as thick/ clumpy as the drama version. Never flakes or smudges. More natural than the drama version
Hypnôse Buildable Volume Mascara 6X Volume Mascara – Lancôme
This is going to give you more volume than length. Never flakes or smudges. Great at holding a curl. It's an in between of the OG hypnose and the hypnose drama
Hypnôse Doll Lashes Wide-Eye-Effect Fiber Mascara - Lancôme
This will make your lashes even longer, thicker, and more voluminous when you use it with mascara. Do not sleep on lash primers. This is the best one there is.
Cils Booster XL Lash Serum & Mascara Primer Base - Lancôme
Eyeshadow
Anastasia has some of the best high end eyeshadow palettes. In fact they are the only high end eyeshadow palettes with mattes that I buy. The shimmers are wet and so pigmented. The mattes are just as pigmented and super blendable. Very easy to work with and the shades are gorgeous. The cosmos palette is my favorite out of all of them but the fall romance one is beautiful too
Cosmos Eyeshadow Palette | Anastasia Beverly Hills
This is my favorite cool-toned eyeshadow palette. Colourpop has some of the best eyeshadows for an amazing price. I use this palette for every single one of my cool toned looks. The shadows are extremely pigmented including the mattes and shimmers. A...
Shadow Palette - ColourPop®: Cloud 9
Lips
I have these glosses in almost every single shade. They have the perfect amount of pigment and aren't too sticky at all. You could create so many lip combos with these and they're so affordable. I love !
Butter Gloss Non-Sticky Lip Gloss | NYX Professional Makeup
All of the NYX lip liners are amazing. Again super cheap and they work so well. They have an insane amount of shades and I have almost all of them haha. They last pretty long and are very easy to work with. Not too creamy not too dry.
