I think this was the real secret to my make up lasting all day! I used this primer and it really does leave your face with a tackiness once it dries down. This you would use before anything else it helps your make up last all day.

This foundation I wear on a regular basis and love it. I find it to be full coverage and not too heavy. I use a beauty blender to apply but have used make up brushes in the past. It's very easy to blend and does last!

I  really like ELF products if you can't tell! I used this concealer under my eyes and it gives a nice coverage without being too thick. It blends smoothly with my foundation. I purchased a color that was on shade lighter than my foundation.

I purchased this concealer in a much darker shade for contour. It does a great job and again, blends smoothly. I use a beauty blender for all my face products. I like to put this on my cheeks, forehead and jaw line.

The ELF blush I used is actually so old they no longer make it (don't judge me) but it was a similar color to this one. I really do stand by ELF products so while I haven't tried this exact blush I have to think it's a good one! I did use a coral col...

Baked highlighter is my favorite! This one from Milani has lasted me years (again… don't judge me) and it really adds a nice glow wherever you put it. I like to add it just to my cheek bones.

I went over my cream contour with the darker shade in this face pallete to set it. I used a different powder for the rest of my face but if you wanted to only buy one product this one isn't too bad! I prefer a loose powder for my under eyes.

as mentioned, I like a loose powder to set my face! I used this one all over and reapplied whenever I was make in my room to take the shine away.

Eyeshadow primer is absolutely necessary if you don't want your shadow to crease on your big day! It also helps your shadow to show up more vibrant. I like this one from NYX and have several other products I like from NYX as well.

I used too faced eyeshadow to do a muted pink look on my eyes. The eye shadow pallete I used was actually the Kandee Johnson one from 2016… you would have to rip that from my cold dead hands and no won't believe you that it's expired! This one I link...

I knew I needed waterproof eyeliner and mascara and this one worked perfectly! I think the wands are easier to use but ELF does have a pencil too if that's easier for you.

This mascara stays so well it's actually really hard to get off! It was perfect for my wedding day but I don't wear it on the regular. It does a really good job of darkening your lashes and adding length.

This lipstick actually won't last you all day, but this is the only thing I prefer that way! I find it much more flawless to have my lipstick wear off and to reapply then to have a weird ring around my lips when the lip stains do eventually wear off....

This setting spray I think was the second secret ingredient to making my makeup last all day! I sprayed it all over once I was done and I think this is what helped my face not slide off in the heat.
