Foundation
I’ve heard mixed reviews about the pearls in this foundation, but it has never posed a problem to me! This foundation is 100% self setting— my oily skin doesn’t break it apart before lunchtime. I have worn this completely on its own, and it does not ...
MAKEUP BY MARIO SurrealSkin® Luminous Hydrating Foundation
The OG. Smells like lemons in a refreshing way, not overbearing. I’m super sensitive to smells and they tend to break out my skin, but haven’t had a bad reaction to this. The finish is very pretty and natural looking with a slight glow and covers wel...
CC+ Cream Full-Coverage Foundation with SPF 50+
My makeup artist used this on me on my wedding day and it was un-de-tect-able!!! I guess it’s worth the hype and I should be ashamed i’ve been sleeping on it for this long 🫣
Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation
concealer
My top concealer recommendations from someone with real skin— no filler, no dermaplaning, no special facials, etc. My under eyes have bags and creases naturally… it’s human! Overtime these concealers have become my go to’s!
My drug store staple. I think since this is a serum concealer it absorbs 10X better than a regular concealer because it’s not as thick. I apply this with my fingers to warm up the product under eyes, then I go in and blend it with my sponge. Blends b...
Bare With Me Concealer Serum | NYX Professional Makeup
I jumped on the bandwagon and I’m here to report… this concealer is THAT good. It’s creamy and full coverage and leaves my under eyes very bright, covering all my dark circles as well as acne! If you don’t know where to go and need a concealer in a h...
Revealer Concealer
liquid blush
Haven’t seen many people talk about these and i’m shocked because the cream parts of this are b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l. it has a nice sized mirror in the the component as well which is really handy as well as the plastic flipping screen to protect the cream...
Cheek Thrills Multi-Finish Face Trio
Liquid bronzer/contour
I used this all through college and loved it! my only issue is sometimes it dries down fast, but for the price point and quality of the finish, i was okay working around the dry time. otherwise this is a very pretty, budget friendly, contour wand fro...
Halo Glow Contour Beauty Wand
I jumped on another bandwagon and i must said, Mrs. Gomez knows how to do a bronzer stick. this literally melts on your face effortlesslyyyy. normally i have to warm my Fenty bronzer stick up on the back of my hand, but this doesn’t need that— I’m no...
Warm Wishes Effortless Bronzer Stick
powder bronzer
I mean… if you haven’t already tried this you’re living under a rock. the finish, gorg. the user friendly experience, 10/10. the price, so cheap. the smell, lovely. cult classic for a reason!!
Murumuru Butter Bronzer
powder blush
I’m not a fan of too much glow since i have oily skin and this is a great balance i’ve found. it brings the color and natural radiance back to my skin without giving a harsh glittery line on my cheek. i’ve been using this since high school (i kinda w...
Baked Blush - Luminoso
if you can get your hands on this RUN! soooo pigmented and so pretty. this is my everyday staple blush!

mascara
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS!! Rarely do I care about a mascara but I had to borrow my mom’s tube of the L’Oréal Voluminous Panorama mascara one time and I’ve been hooked ever since. It is black and separates my lashes while lengthening them. AND IT’S ...
L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Panorama Mascara
i used this for the last 3 years before i just switched last month to L’Oréal Panorama Mascara. This is so freaking pretty. separates every last, coats them completely without weighing them down, and it’s budget friendly! 10/10 recommend
Voluminous Original Washable Mascara - L'Oréal Paris
eyeliner
Be warned when I say this will STAY ON!! meaning you’re going to have to assault your eye to get it off with a makeup wipe, but nonetheless is 100% transfer proof and the dip container makes it super user friendly. i love this product and wish more e...

Lipstick | Liquid, Satin and Matte Lipstick
can’t believe i’m giving up my $3.00 secret!! this literally glides on so good it’s insane! the shade range isn’t great at my local stores, so keep that in mind if you’re looking in person. otherwise i have nothing bad to say about this product. i us...
Cream Glide Lip Liner
setting spray
This setting spray melts all my powers in and brings back a glow to my skin without leaving it looking wet or oily. I bought the travel size to test it out, and will for sure be purchasing the full sized product once it is empty!
Rare Beauty Long-Lasting Setting Spray
Brushes
These brushes are that girl. So so soft and effective. Also, honesty hour, I’m not the best about consistently washing mine. So the fact that they have stood the test a time with my makeup routine, I’m thoroughly impressed!
