Soft'lit Naturally Luminous Longwear Foundation | Fenty Beauty

Camo Hydrating CC Cream SPF 30 | e.l.f. Cosmetics
I loooove to use this foundation during the summer. The matte finish yet hydrating formula makes me WANT to keep it on even in 90 degree weather which is crazy to even say. I’ve never had patchiness or an increase in oiliness from this foundation eit...
Hydrating & Matte Waterproof Foundation MAKE UP FOR EVER
This foundation does require a subscription but you essentially take a test to decipher your perfect shade. They send you the foundation for free and if you choose to keep it, you pay the price of the foundation. BUT WAIT!!!! This foundation was the ...
Foundation Makeup | IL MAKIAGE
I love to use this skin tint during the summer because it’s not heavy on the skin at all, and it has SPF in it! It also doesn’t break my skin out or enhance any oiliness I have on my t-zone
Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 - ILIA Beauty
A more recent hit to my makeup collection! Safe to say, this is such a great foundation! It’s medium to full coverage but it feels light on the skin. It feels like a serum in my opinion. Pair it with the easy blur primer and you’re as good as golden!
Easy Blur Foundation & Primer | Full Coverage
Concealer
Best natural finish concealers!
My go-to concealer for days I feel like I want a no makeup look! It’s only $10 and truly one of THE best concealers I’ve ever had. It doesn’t crease and it doesn’t make my skin look caked or dry!
Concealer | Liquid, Cream, Stick Correctors - Revolution Beauty

I’m sure you’ve seen this everywhere, but it truly is an amazing spot corrector! If I know i have to go somewhere and don’t want a full face or light makeup look, I just use this to spot correct certain areas, do some mascara and some lip gloss and I...

Primer
The best primers I’ve got my hands on
I bought this primer randomly whenever I went into Ulta, and I seriously can’t stop using it. This is ALSO an amazing primer to use in the winter when your skins more dryer then usual. It helps keep my makeup glowy, and non-cakey throughout the day, ...
Face Primer - Makeup | Ulta Beauty
This primer is sooooooo good when you want a dewy makeup kind of day! I usually use this primer during the winter months to bring some hydration back into my skin! It has tumeric, and saffron extract in it that helps brighten and reduce redness in th...
Cloud Glow Foam Brightening Primer - Milk Makeup
If I know I’m going for a matte look, I will always use this primer!!! It blurs my pores, and with foundation on top, it gives me a soft matte look! It’s a personal fav, and I’ve repurchased it multiple times! I love to use it with the fenty softlit ...
Liquid Poreless Putty Primer | e.l.f. Cosmetics

Easy Blur Silicone-Free Smoothing & Pore-Minimizing Primer
Contour/Bronze
Holy grails, I can’t bare to part with
This has been my go-to contour stick for the last 2-3 years! I find myself repurchasing constantly because the formula for this stick is like butter. It blends in so seamlessly into my skin, and gives me such a nice shadow wherever I place it. I trul...
Warm Wishes Effortless Bronzer Stick - Rare Beauty
This brings such a nice sun kissed glow to my face when I literally look dead. But be super careful when using this bronzer, because it’s incredibly pigmented and will have your makeup looking super muddy if you don’t lightly pat it on! Milanis produ...
Silky Matte Bronzing Powder - Milani Cosmetics
Another amazing bronzer!!! I used to use this a lot more in high school, and I never knew why I stopped in general. Safe to say, I’ve come back to this gem and I don’t regret it. It brings warmth back into your face without leaving patchiness or lift...
Murumuru Butter Bronzer - Physicians Formula
Blush/Powder Blush
Perfect blushes, for perfect people
Definitely a dupe for rare beauty’s blushes which I’ve also tried! But if you want to ball on a budget, then this is your girl! An incredibly pigmented blush that leaves a glowy finish once applied. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve used this blus...
Camo Liquid Blush | e.l.f. Cosmetics
I’ve used this powder blush for almost a year and I still haven’t hit pan. The colors are super pigmented and leave the prettiest finish! If I could’ve bought all the colors, I would’ve. Colourpop has such amazing makeup for super cheap and this is o...
Let's Dance | Peachy Pink Pressed Powder Blush - ColourPop
If I’m doing a full face, best believe this bad boy is being applied. I always use this before doing concealer because of how intense the pigment is! It’s not Juvias Place, but it’s definitely up there on the pigment scale. Truly a holy grail in my m...

This is one of my new fav powder blush trios! The pigment is absolutely ridiculous, two taps and that’s all you NEED! Definitely one of my favorite toppers if I want a stronger look to my blush

Super Shock Highlighter - ColourPop
Yes this is an eyeshadow topper, but I use it as a highlight because it’s THAT GOOD. The glow that it adds to my face, especially in the inner corner, tip of my nose, and cheeks is so pretty. I have many photos on mg insta using this specific topper....
Sparklights Topper - OFRA Cosmetics
Eyes
I’ve recently tried this mascara, and I can’t put it down. I’m the type of girl that hates clumpy lashes, and this mascara doesn’t do clumpy. It brings much needed volume into my lashes, but it also fortifies them to make them healthier and stronger ...
b structural volumizing + lengthening mascara - Haus Labs
Don’t let the name fool you, these don’t clump my lashes at all. It definitely lifts and brings volume into my lashes, and I truly only need one coat to get the desired effect! Fenty really just brings the heaaaaat🔥🔥
Hella Thicc Volumizing Mascara - Fenty Beauty
I LOOOOVVEEEE these pencils! You can use them as a lip liner, eye liner, or on your brows. It’s a multi-use pencil that’s face for really anywhere on the face. I have 3 of these, and I constantly have them in rotation! Almost makes me want to get rid...

Setting sprays
Set that thang
I love this setting spray mixed with the one size spray. If I’m going out to a concert or to a club, or bar hopping, this bad boy is being sprayed all over. It literally melts my makeup into my skin and keeps it there for the entire night. I’ve taken...
All-Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray - Urban Decay
Okay I know a lot of yall are saying “not this setting spray again” but I say don’t knock it til you try it. It smells absolutely terrible and feels like it’ll suffocate you if you breathe it in, but the way your makeup will stay on your face until t...

Stay All Day Blue Light Long Lasting Setting Spray | e.l.f. Cosmetics
Setting powders
Blur central
Today’s main character. Her. I take her with me EVERYWHERE whenever I’m out with makeup. She blurs, and blots and brings my makeup back together when it’s starting to look crusty. Using this product keeps my oiliness way down so I don’t need to blot ...
Translucent Pressed Setting Powder Ultra-Blur - Laura Mercier
One of THE best setting powders out here. Huda always does it right when it comes to her powders. The instant blur it gives me when pressed in, is ridiculous. It sets my concealer for hours, and it doesn’t crease with this powder either. I’ve def rep...
EASY BAKE LOOSE POWDER Banana Bread - Huda Beauty
An oldie but a goodie! I’ve never stopped using her, and her pressed powder version! Why stop using it, if it never stopped working in the first place? This powder also melts into my skin wherever I place it. It brings a slight brightening effect un...

Lips
I’m sure you’ve seen this lip liner everywhere but I promise it’s SO worth it. My lip liner stays on all day, and is transfer proof. It’s incredibly easy to use and I haven’t felt the need to bring lip liners with me when I use this!
I Tried the Viral Peel-Off Lip Liner Stain That Lasts for 2 …
My favorite lip gloss currently! The plumping effect is basically non existent, but it’s one hell of a gloss. The shine stays on my lips for 2-3 hours, if I don’t eat or drink anything with the usage. It leaves a perfect hydrating shine to my lips, a...
Forget The Filler Lip Plumping Line Smoothing Gloss
My go-to lip liner for all seasons. I’ve bought three of these to keep one in my purse, my vanity and the other at my job. That’s how serious I am about this liner. It’s incredibly cheap, but that doesn’t take away how buttery and smooth it is to put...
Essence - Cinnamon Spice 8H Matte Comfort Lipliner
If you don’t own a nyx lip liner, then you need to get on the wave. They’re extremely affordable, but the pigment is a hard hitter! I’ve bought a lot of different neutral colors so I can wear it with whatever topper. Truly a classic lip liner
