This is after you have moisture the face . Primer is the secret to smooth, long-lasting makeup
This is like the putty primer’s lightweight cousin. It smooths over my skin without feeling heavy, and it’s liquid so it sinks right in. I reach for it when I want that same pore-blurring effect but with a fresher, more breathable finish. Perfect for...
Universal Sheer Liquid Poreless Putty Primer - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
If you need your makeup to actually STICK, this primer is the one. It has that slightly tacky texture at first, but that’s what locks everything down. My foundation doesn’t budge, even on long days. Think of it as skincare-meets-primer, since it feel...
Power Grip Primer | Gel Primer for Face
This isn’t just makeup — it’s instant radiance in a bottle. I use it alone on “no makeup” days for a fresh glow, or underneath foundation to make my skin look lit-from-within. It’s the closest thing to bottled confidence because it makes your skin lo...
Elf Halo Glow Liquid Filter
A skin tint that actually lasts is rare, but this one pulls it off. It evens out my tone without looking like foundation, and it’s lightweight enough that it still feels like skin. The Vitamin C is a nice bonus, making it feel like I’m doing somethin...

Eyes & brows
Do you want to lift, define, and make your eyes pop with ease? Here is some products that I use for that
This stuff is basically a brow lamination in a little pot. It’s DOESNT make your eyebrows white like some which is another thing I love. It holds every hair exactly where I want it, but doesn’t go crunchy or flaky. If you like that fluffy, brushed-up...
Brow Lift | Award Winning Clear Eyebrow Gel
This mascara is a classic for a reason. It fans out every lash, gives volume without clumps, and the “very black” shade makes my eyes pop. It’s my go-to when I want dramatic lashes without having to mess with falsies.
This has been one of my ride-or...

Concealers & powders
Below is some concealers I’m using to brighten, smooth, and set without the cake.
Some concealers cover well but feel dry — not this one. It gives me that full coverage for blemishes or dark circles but stays comfortable and hydrating, so it doesn’t crack halfway through the day. If you’ve struggled with concealers looking cakey, ...
Elf Hydrating Camo Concealer
This feels more like skincare than makeup. It’s super lightweight, blends in like a dream, and still manages to cover redness or uneven spots. I like it for days when I want coverage but don’t want to look like I’m wearing a lot of product.
It blen...

105 Fair Ivory Fit Me Matte + Poreless Powder - Maybelline | Ulta Beauty
This loose powder is my go-to when I want that extra-smooth, soft-focus finish. It sets everything in place beautifully and really helps blur fine lines so my makeup doesn’t crease throughout the day.
It never looks heavy or chalky, just gives that...
Light Medium Fit Me Loose Finishing Powder - Maybelline | Ulta Beauty

Need colour on your cheeks? You need to add a natural flush and glow that lasts all day.
This blush is one of my go-tos because it gives me that fresh, healthy flush that looks like it’s coming from my skin, not sitting on top of it. The formula is super smooth, so it blends in effortlessly without disturbing the rest of my makeup.
I l...
Ruby On-the-Glow Blush Tinted Moisture Stick - Pixi | Ulta Beauty
This one honestly feels like a hidden gem because of how affordable it is. The pigment is just right — not so strong that you risk overdoing it, but not so sheer that you have to pile it on. I love that I can do a quick swipe for a natural pop of col...
Rose Kiss Blusher Reloaded - Revolution Beauty | Ulta Beauty
I’ve been using the KIKO Contour and it blends like a dream. The formula is creamy, buildable, and super easy to work with, so you can go for a soft, natural sculpt or layer it for a more defined look.

Juicy Lips
From liners to gloss, everything for soft, defined lips.
The formula strikes the perfect balance: creamy enough to glide on without tugging, but firm enough to actually stay put and keep my lip color from feathering. I love using them to slightly overline for a fuller look, and they never look harsh or obv...
Nude Truffle Slim Lip Pencil - NYX Professional Makeup | Ulta Beauty
This is the lip product I grab when I want my makeup to feel instantly bold and fun. The shine is next-level — that glossy, almost vinyl finish — but without the stickiness that usually comes with glosses.
What makes it stand out for me is how long...

2.03 oz Make It Last Original - Natural Finish Setting Spray - Milani | Ulta Beauty
The mist is incredibly fine — it feels more like a light cloud than a spray — so it never leaves droplets or disrupts my makeup. What I love is how it melts all the layers together, taking away any powdery look and giving me that soft, flawless finis...
