Primer
So not a primer but still a non negotiable, especially in the summer. What I love about this one is it literally feels like water on the skin. It’s so light weight and cooling which is perfect for the hot, humid summers and it lays beautifully under ...
UV Aqua Rich Hydrating Facial Moisturizer with SPF 50 | Biore Skincare
Perfect for hydrating my skin but also helping my makeup to last all day. This is a holy grail, especially in the summer!
Hydro Grip Hydrating Face Primer - Milk Makeup
I have deep forehead lines and this smoothes them out to perfection while making sure my makeup doesn’t crease and fall into those lines making them appear worse than they are. I also like this on my nose on top of the milk makeup hydro grip, I wear ...
Conceal + Perfect Blur Out Smoothing Primer
The perfect combo of SPF and primer. This one is for those days I’m in a hurry and I want to be protected but also blurred. Plus it’s a mineral that doesn’t leave a cast.
Velvet Screen SPF 50 Blurring Mineral SKINSCREEN
Skin Tint
An OG favorite and perfect for the summer. It’s just beautiful on the skin, light buildable coverage, and holds up all day. It’s reliable and affordable.
True Match Hyaluronic Tinted Serum - L'Oréal Paris
A new discovery of mine but it definitely rivals the L’Oreal True Match. It’s lightweight, skin like, and holds up to the heat and the humidity. This is a favorite to wear if I’m going to be outside more because it has the extra SPF in it.
SunCoverup Super Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Sunscreen
For those days when I don’t want to wear makeup but I just want to even out my complexion, this is the one. Pricey, I know, but there’s nothing like it. It’s like a cool drink of water for the skin and it wears beautifully.
LES BEIGES Water-fresh tint Light
Concealer
The best concealer for dryer under eyes with fine lines. It doesn’t crease (with or without powder) it’s lightweight, medium coverage and looks flawless under my eyes.
Kulfi Beauty Crease-Proof Long-Wear Hydrating Clean Concealer
For those days I want lighter coverage but need a little something under my eyes to combat the darkness. This has been a favorite since it was released and lives in my everyday makeup drawer
hideaway | clean undereye color corrector | caliray beauty
Powder
I don’t wear a lot of powder in the summer but in my t-zone it’s a must and this is the best one for the job. It blurs and perfects while still feeling light weight.
Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder - HUDA BEAUTY
The only powder I use under my eyes. It’s light weight, never cakey , and is so blurring and smoothing. Don’t let the sheen deter you from using it… that sheen is the magical part!
Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Blurring Under-Eye Powder
Bronzer
The most gorgeous baked gelee bronzer I’ve found. It melts into the skin and leaves a beautiful glow (not glittery). I love to glow in the summer. I’m fair with a neutral undertone and Beachwalk Betty is the most beautiful “sunburst” shade for me.
ReDimension Hydra Bronzer | Talc-Free & Luminous Finish
I have been using this non stop since it came out. I love the gel-like texture. A little goes a long way and it just melts into my skin.
HY-SCULPT LIQUID BRONZER
I love this one on its own or for layering over the Natasha Denona to give that added glow I crave in the summer. It looks glittery in the pan but on the skin it looks like your skin has been kissed by the sun. It’s gorgeous!
Luminous Silk Creamy Bronzing Powder - Bronzer
Blush
Just like the bronzer, these are beautiful on the skin. A baked gelee formula that leaves the perfect glow and I love the shades. Crystal Slipper, Maiden’s Blush, and French Rose are my favs.
ReDimension Hydra Powder Blush | Talc-Free & Luminous Finish
I’ve been obsessed with cream blushes right now and this is still a go-to formula. Especially with the shade range ever expanding. I just love the buildable pigmentation, blend ability, and the color lasts all day
the pocket blushes | rhode skin
More specifically in the shade inner glow. It’s the perfect everyday neutral blush shade for me and it has the most beautiful glow to it.
Cream Blush
Another new to me product but one I can’t get enough of. I love the sheer creamy formula. It doesn’t dry down but I don’t find my cheeks to be sticky either. Cherry and Candy are the two shades I got and they’re beautiful for the summer.
Rosy Glow Stick: blush stick pH-activated color
The only liquid blush I’m reaching for right now. It pairs beautifully with all my skin tints and builds really nicely. I especially love it with my Chanel water fresh skin tint.
Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush
Highlight
I’ve been loving a cream highlight. It just sits more natural and blends into the skin. This one gives me a beautiful lit from within glow.
Lightshift Cream Highlighter
I have the shade halo and it’s stunning. The formula is incredible too! It works under makeup, over makeup (yes, even powder) and it just leaves the most beautiful ethereal glow. A little goes a long way so I don’t think I’ll ever get through the ent...
FLUIDE ENLUMINEUR Iridescent illuminating fluid Halo
Eyes
These may be new, and I only have 2 but these are incredible. They dry down and don’t budge. I have oily eyelids and these don’t crease or fade throughout the day. You do have to work pretty quick so I suggest one eye at a time but they blend beautif...
Master Mattes® Long-Wear Cream Eyeshadow
These have my heart. Like the makeup by Mario these wear all day and don’t crease or fade on me. However, these are softer in pigmentation and they have some beautiful metallic shades to choose from, unlike the makeup by Mario. I’ve been reaching for...
Eye Tint Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeshadow
I love these for a little added sparkle. I just tap it in the center of my lid, my inner corner, brow bone, I’ll even use it as a highlighter if I’m feeling extra that day.
GLITTERPUCK
Setting Spray
Your makeup is going absolutely nowhere!
On 'Til Dawn Setting Spray | ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr
Locks my makeup in place but also gives it a glow when I’ve overdone the powder. I still go for the original One/Size setting spray if I’m going to be outside more but this one still does the job otherwise.
Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray
Lips
My go-to everyday lip product. I don’t have to worry about the color fading throughout the day. I just add a little gloss or oil on top and I’m good to go.
Lassi Lips Staining Lip Oil
I’ve always been a fan of the peptide lip tints but I can’t get enough of the new lemontini shade. It just reminds me of summer and I love the added sparkle.
the peptide lip tints
The most magical lip oil ever! I have 2. One lives in my purse and the other by my bed. It’s so lightweight and nourishing.
Lip Renewal™ Treatment Oil
These have been so controversial but I love them. You have to store them upside down and apply in a thin layer but once they’re on, they’re not going anywhere. I love these shades and when I’m not reaching for my kulfi lip stain I’m reaching for thes...
