Primer
I swear by this stuff. It keeps my makeup in place all day without being too sticky or splotchy.
Power Grip Primer
This cleanser clears my skin and sits on the skin so well. This could be used before and after makeup application!
Holy Hydration! Clean Freak Daily Cleanser
Highly recommend putting this under your makeup. It’s completely clear and leaves no tint on the skin.
Suntouchable Invisible Sunscreen SPF 35
I have been loving these drops! They make my skin feel so refreshed. You can apply before your makeup or just for a bare face.
Walmart Supercenter
These work great if you mix it with moisturizer when applying! I find it especially useful in the winter when I’m a little pale. Great alternative to the Drunk Elephant ones.
Bronzing Drops Tinted Serum
Foundation
I use the halo glow as a foundation but it could honestly be used as a concealer, too! It’s very light on the skin but does a great job of evening out my skin tone. One container lasts forever!
Halo Glow Liquid Filter Complexion Booster
This soft glam satin foundation is more coverage than the halo glow but is still super light on the skin. It comes in various shades and doesn’t get cakey on my skin.
Soft Glam Foundation - Medium Coverage
One last elf foundation is this CC cream. It is the most full coverage out of the ones listed. I am not normally a full coverage girl but this one is perfect for special occasions and doesn’t feel too heavy on my skin.
Camo CC Cream SPF 30 - Color Correcting Cream
This skin tint is a little less coverage than the halo glow. It evens out red spots super well and is great for a quick makeup day.
Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50
This product is similar to the normal CC cream but with a little less matte. Perfect mix between the regular CC cream and Halo Glow!
Camo Hydrating CC Cream SPF 30
Concealer
This is my favorite elf product. I LOVE this concealer so much. It is so hydrating and saturated. It never creases and it blends so well, especially with the halo glow.
Hydrating Camo Concealer
This concealer leaves more of a matte finish, if that fits your makeup style better. It works better for oilier skin and it lasts literally all day!
16-Hour Camo Full Coverage Concealer
I just tried this for the first time recently and loved it! It is not as thick as normal concealer while fixing dark spots underneath the eyes.
Flawless Brightening Skin Concealer
This product also fixes under eye coloring but in putty form. I like this one better because it is even thinner than the liquid one and easier to control.
Putty Color-Correcting Under Eye Brightener
I have been obsessed with these! I use them on acne spots before putting concealer on and it makes all the difference. Lots of different colors to choose from based on your skin coloring!
Camo Color Corrector Concealer
Powder
I put this powder on over the places I put concealer. I feel like it blends in the concealer super well and makes my makeup look more natural.
Halo Glow Loose Setting Powder
Super light powder and perfect for adjustments throughout the day. Definitely not as messy as the loose powder!
Prime & Stay Finishing Powder
On the pricier side for Elf but amazing quality. Not loose powder, but super blend-able. Blurs any pores while allowing the skin to maintain a glow!
Halo Glow Powder Filter - Pressed Finishing Powder
Contour
I love these contour sticks! They are super pigmented and a little product goes a long way. It blends into the skin well, leaving a natural bronze look behind.
Halo Glow Liquid Contour Wand
This contour is a little heavier but it still does a good job. I definitely notice this bronzer more on my skin so def recommend for more full coverage makeup looks!
Camo Liquid Bronzer & Contour
If powder contour is better for you, than this palette is right up your alley! The range of shades is good and it’s super easy to blend.
Powder Contour Palette
For my putty queens, this product works super well with other putty products. Pairs super well with the putty blush and glows on the skin!
Putty Bronzer - Cream to Powder Formula
Blush
This is my everyday blush. It’s so pigmented so just a small dot fills up my whole cheek. This product is similar to the Rare Beauty blush but more so much cheaper! It lasts all day, as well!
Camo Liquid Blush
This blush is beautiful on the skin! It looks super natural and has a shiny finish about it.
Putty Blush
This is a newer product and I loved it! It gave a sun-kissed effect which is so perfect for summer. It lasted all day and looked so natural!
Sheer For It Blush Tint - Tinted Lip and Cheek Stain
New product I’ve tried and I really like it! Very easy to blend in and more natural looking!
Monochromatic Multi Stick Makeup
Love this blush!! I put it on over my liquid blush and it blends so well!
Primer Infused Matte Blush Powder
Highlighter
This highlighter is simple but effective. It’s not super harsh but it definitely brightens the skin.
Halo Glow Liquid Highlighter Wand
This is an option for the powder people. Sometimes, I’ll put this powder on over the liquid and it gives a really pretty finish!
Shimmer Highlighting Powder
Currently back in stock for a limited time so highly recommend buying!!! It is super glowy and perfect for a natural makeup look.
Jelly Pop Glow - Dewy Highlighter Stick
Eyebrows
This brow gel makes my eyebrows sit in place for hours. It doesn’t get super sticky or crusty like other eyebrow gels I’ve tried.
Brow Lift - Clear Eyebrow Gel
I use this to fill in my eyebrows and have found it looks very natural. Filling in eyebrows is scary but this makes is super easy.
Elf Lock on Liner and Brow Cream
I like this tinted brow gel, too. Definitely would recommend if you want your eyebrows to look a little more prominent!
Wow Tinted Brow Gel
Eyeshadow
All of the elf eyeshadow palettes are so pretty on the eyes! I’ve often had problems with my eyeshadow falling off my eyelids onto the rest of my face but I’ve never experienced that with these palettes!
Eyeshadow Palettes - Pigmented & Cruelty Free
Eyelashes
This eyelash curler does a super good job without harming your lashes. It doesn’t pinch and lifts the eyelashes significantly!
Lash Curler
I just started using eyelash primer and it is a game changer! It makes my mascara look longer and thicker, and prevents clumps!
Enhance Your Eyelashes with Mascara Primer
This is my favorite mascara! It doesn’t clump and looks super natural. My eyelashes look super long and thick with this mascara.
Lash 'N Roll® Curling & Lifting Mascara
Lips
This lip liner is so pretty and easy to put on! Comes in various colors and adds to the lip combo!
Cream Glide Lip Liner
I’ve been loving these lip stains. The colors are so pigmented and is a nice base before the gloss I use.
Glossy Lip Stain
This satin lipstick is super pretty and long-lasting. This is def my recommendation for a higher-coverage makeup look.
O FACE Satin Lipstick
I love this glimmer lip oil. The normal lip oils are super pretty but I’m obsessed with the sparkles! It also lasts all day and feels magical!

I am OBSESSED with this product!!! Specifically the yummy gummy color! So pigmented and smooth on the lips!

this duo is amazing!!! So refreshing and hydrating to the lips.

Like the glimmer lip oil but without the sparkle! Still super pigmented and shiny!

Setting Spray
This setting spray is perfection! It feels so light on the skin and yet holds the makeup so well!

I like this setting spray a lot, too! It is a little heavier when you first put it on but it holds super well!
