Products I use to prep my skin and build my base

This is the first step in my routine no matter what the occasion. It is a great way to prep the skin, and prevent any sort of breakouts or red spots. I also apply this after removing any product, before using all of my skincare products.

I LOVE this moisturizer. I always start with this every time I apply makeup, but also immediately after I wash my face.
Hydro Boost Water Cream Fragrance Free

This is the best concealer out there. It is a little on the pricey side, but it's totally worth it in my humble opinion. I use the shade Cotton 2 and I always typically apply sparingly in areas I'm looking to brighten or cover. I find the coverage is...

I then use the Milk Contouring Stick if I want a more elevated look. It is very easy to apply and the formula is perfectly buttery. However, I do apply sparingly with a light hand.

For liquid blush, I always use Rare Beauty in the shade Happy. It is VERY pigmented, which can be a blessing and a curse. With this product, it is very important to scrape off the excess before applying to your cheeks. A little goes a long way!!!!

Next, I use a small NARS palette to apply powdered bronzer and powdered blush. It neutralizes the cakey feeling of applying many liquid products and creams. I also feel like it adds definition to your look and gives your base more dimension.

Lastly, I use the Fenty Beauty highlighter, specifically in the shade Starstruck. I love this product. In being a stick, I feel like it gives control to the user in the amount actually transferring onto the face. It is also shiny and sparkly and girl...

Eyes

My actual holy grail. I genuinely cannot go a day without wearing this eyeliner. The applicator is super easy to use, and the liner is very opaque. It adds so much to my daily look and I could not recommend it enough.
Liquid Eyeliner

I always apply this product to my waterline. It has the perfect amount of pigment, and lasts for a very long time. Smudging is very limited and adds a sense of completion to my eye look every day!
Darkside Waterproof Gel Liner

I LOVE the Ilia mascara. I was first introduced to it in Sephora's advent calendar, which is another great purchase if you want to sample a lot of new products. This mascara layers on nicely without clumping, and gives my lashes a ton of volume witho...

I love to use the Huda Beauty lip liner, as I feel the shades really complement my natural lip color and complexion.
Lip Liner

For some reason, I have always been drawn to lip oils as opposed to glosses or sticks. I love how they give your lips the perfect glossy feeling/look without being extremely sticky. I would highly recommend the Rare Beauty lip oil!

I finish everything off with the elf setting spray! I always make sure to use it from a distance though.
