This is a list of everything I use for my makeup routine. I don't wear a ton of makeup so this is perfect for anyone who wants that minimal, polished look. Sometimes I like to grunge it up and go for a downtown girl aesthetic when I'm feeling adventu...

Blush
This is one of three blush options I'm going to recommend because I'm a blush lover. The Pixi brand is what I use in the summer because it's very glowy and I love the dewey, glowy summer look. There's many shade options to choose from. So whether you...
Blush, Cream Blush Sticks and Powder Blushes
My second blush rec is benetint. This product is great because not only is it a cheek stain but also a lip stain. This gives you a perfect natural looking blush. I use this a lot for winter because it gives me that cold, rosey cheek look. This is als...
Benetint Cheek & Lip Stain
My last blush rec is Milk's cream blush. I also use this a lot in winter because it's a matt, natural looking blush. I chose a darker, cherry shade for winter because cheeks are more of a deep red in winter vs more pinky in the summer. This product s...
Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Stick & Lip Color
The Look
The first thing I use is this Elf Moisture. Any form of it works from what I've experienced. It makes my skin feel moisturized which will help your makeup sit better. This is also affordable and won't break the bank.
Face Moisturizer | Face Cream
The second thing I use is Elf's tinted primer with sunscreen. This covers your primer step and spf step all in one! Both are very important for a smooth makeup look. I like how it gives me a bit of sun-kissed look while also making me glowy.
Suntouchable Whoa Glow Makeup Primer with SPF 30
My next step is concealer. I love the NYX bear with me concealer. It's provides good coverage that isn't cakey and blends very easily. I also love how affordable it is while still being a great formula. I've tried other concealers in the past but so ...
Bare With Me Concealer Serum | NYX Professional Makeup
After concealer comes setting powder. The Laura Mercier translucent setting powder has my heart. It goes on so smooth and is not clumpy at all. This powder is similar to Huda Beauty but more affordable. This setting powder will blurt your pores and m...
Translucent Loose Setting Powder
Now let's talk contour/highlighter. I don't know about you but if I can buy two products for the price of one I'm going to. The NYX wonder stick offers contour and highlight in the same product. This is also helpful for traveling and saving space. Th...
Wonder Stick Contour and Highlighter Stick
I am a fan of bronzer only in the summer. It gives me that sun-kissed look around the edge of my face and bronzes me up. I love the elf powder bronzer as it's easy to blend and buildable. If you're looking for a light, easy to apply bronzer I recomme...
Primer-Infused Matte Powder Bronzer
For eyeliner when I want to grunge up my makeup I use the Clinique pencil. I find it easier and more forgiving than the liquid version. It doesn't smear and lasts for hours without reapplying. I also use a brown shade because it's more subtle and bri...
Liquid & Pencil Eyeliners
Lastly for mascara I use Clinique. Mainly the volumizing or high impact ones. These ones make my eyelashes stand out the most and look longer than they are. Also Clinique has clean ingredients and the mascara doesn't irate my eyes. I barely see fallo...
Mascara: Volumizing, Waterproof, Tubing
For lips I have a few products depending on the look I'm going for. I love the Clinique almost lipstick in the shade black honey. It's the perfect matt lipstick that is also hydrating. I love this product for a simple classy look.
Almost Lipstick in Black Honey | Glossy Lip Balm
I am very found of the Elf reviver lip oils when I want a glossy look. I use this when I'm going out with my girls and want to feel more done up. It's more eye catching than a matt lipstick and very moisturizing as well.
