My Dynamic Duo: The Lip Liners I Swear By
This NYX Slim Lip Pencil in Espresso is my budget holy grail. It’s so inexpensive I stock up in bulk! Great pigment, lasts long, and the only downside is sharpening—but I’ve solved that with an electric sharpener. It’s my go-to alongside my MAC liner...
Slim Lip Pencil Creamy Lip Liner | NYX Professional Makeup
The MAC lip pencil in Chestnut is my holy grail brown. I use it about half the time. Yes, it’s pricier than my NYX liner—I could buy four NYX for one MAC—but it’s worth every penny. I’ve had my current one since last year, and it’s still going strong...

All Eyes on Me: My Eye Essentials
This liner does not budge—even if I get emotional or my eyes water, it stays put. Just make sure you’ve got an oil-based remover to take it off!
Epic Wear Matte Waterproof Eyeliner | NYX Professional Makeup
This is my go-to for keeping my brows in place all day—no budging!
Eyebrow Glue Instant Brow Styler | NYX Professional Makeup
This Revlon ColorStay Waterproof Mascara is my go-to because I don’t wear false lashes. It keeps my curl intact with its curved brush and doesn’t budge. I take it off with oil-based remover, but that’s exactly how I like it—stays put all day.
ColorStay Full Time™ Mascara
This highlighter is an absolute essential for me. I use the ‘Raise the Bar’ shade every single time. It’s not just for cheekbones—I highlight under my brows, down my nose, and even my waterline for that signature look. I can’t finish my makeup withou...
Makeup Revolution Reloaded Highlighter
Most eyeliners like this irritate my eyes, but this one doesn’t at all. It lasts around 5–6 hours and stays in place—even when my eyes water or I’m crying. Super reliable and comfortable to wear.
long lasting eye pencil
This is my go-to mascara—it makes my lashes look so long and lifted. I use the waterproof version and it lasts all day without failing me. Definitely one I always come back to.
So Fierce Big Bad Lash Mascara
I don’t really wear lashes like that, but whenever I do, I will always quickly grab this glue it dries clear and stays on for a good long time.

Glossed & Bossed: Budget & Luxe Picks
Broadway by Ruby Kisses lip gloss is my affordable go-to—I keep one everywhere. Whether it’s mint, rose, or coconut oil, I buy them in bulk. They’re inexpensive, so if I lose one, no sweat. While I love pricier glosses, I can’t stock up on five at a ...
Ruby Kisses Broadway Vita-Lip Clear Gloss (48 Pack)
The Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb in Clear is my luxe staple. I always stick to clear gloss with a liner, and this one is perfect—not sticky at all, just smooth and glossy. It’s pricier than my budget picks, so I don’t stock up as much, but when I want a t...
