Where I Shop and Brands That I've 100% Loved So Far
These brands are the ones that I have purchased many items from and loved EVERY SINGLE ONE of them.
Are you kidding me?!?!?! The entire brand makes their beauty products look like/named after baking products or groceries. For example their setting powder is "Flour" and even comes in a little flour bag. Their whole theme alone sets them aside from t...
Beauty Bakerie Cosmetics Brand | Clean Vegan & Gluten Free Beauty
From foundation to eyeshadow, everything I've gotten from Fenty has been amazing. I haven't had a single complaint about any of it!
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna | Beauty for All
I have tried sooo many of their eyeshadow pallets and I am OBSESSED! I have also tried all of their eye primers, but I will eventually try other products as well.
Urban Decay Official Site - Cosmetics & Cruelty-Free Makeup
Eyeshadow, concealer, mascara, etc. Never met a Too Faced products that I didn't like!
Too Faced Cosmetics
My favorites are the foundation and concealer, BUT I've tried a few other things as well. All of them are amazing! I plan on trying more from this brand.
NARS Cosmetics | The Official Store | Makeup and Skincare
Selena Gomez SLAYED with this ENTIRE brand!!!! I know Benable wants you to put a thorough description, but I really don't even have to say more than this because it's simply amazing!
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez | Vegan & Cruelty Free Makeup
One of the best brands I've used!!! Love their setting powder and foundation sooo much. Just like the other brands listed, I will definitely be trying more from this brand.
Charlotte Tilbury Cosmetics: 15% Off Your First Order & Free Shipping | Charlotte Tilbury
You can find so many brands here. I'm sure you already know that, but incase you might be a complete beginner, this is like Amazon for makeup lol
Makeup, Skincare, Fragrance, Hair & Beauty Products | Sephora
Primer
Gotta start with a good base! This section includes my top choices for face and eye primers!
I have tried SO MANY primers. There have only been 3 that have worked effectively, and not caused any skin issues! This is my go-to, but the other 2 are great as well!
Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gripping Primer
I had seen mixed reviews about this primer, but wow was I surprised when it worked with my skin as good as it did!
Benefit Cosmetics Porefessional Pore Minimizing Primer
Last, but DEFINITELY not least, this primer is AMAZING for oily skin. My foundation sits beautifully on this primer.
The Liquid Silk Canvas: Featherweight Protective Primer
I have super hooded eyes. This is an absolute MUST HAVE or my eyeshadow isn't even lasting half the day. I can legitimately see a huge difference when I run out! And its not good lol
Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Waterproof Eye Makeup
Foundation
I am someone who use to always get a new foundation every time trying to find the right one. Well these are the only 4 I love equally. Literally, I will happily use any of these on any given day.
After searching for a holy grail foundation for so so so long, I finally gave in and tried Fenty. Let me tell you!!!! I actually love every product I've tried from Fenty so far!!!!
Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation - Fenty Beauty
I was skeptical about getting this foundation at first because of the mixed reviews, but personally, I will be repurchasing again and again. (I already have lol)
Born This Way Flawless Coverage Natural Finish ...
They CAME THRU with this foundation! Sits beautifully on the skin. I have issues with my foundation separating so bad throughout the day. Not with this foundation tho!
Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation
I was shocked at how good this foundation covered my texture and redness. I have alot of texture from hormonal acne. I was impressed with how NON cakey it looks even with big pores.
Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation
Concealer
I personally use multiple shades of conceale. A lighter one to highlight certain parts of my face, and a skin matching one to conceal! These are my favorites!
I have lines under my eyes. I've never met a concealer that works with those lines so well! Once I set it, it's good to go. I have used the same setting powder for years now, so I know for sure the only difference was the concealer!!!!
Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer
Good for actually concealing, but it also works great with the Laura Mercier setting powder. This combo keeps my concealer from creasing allllll day long.
Shape Tape™ Full-Coverage Concealer
I've already reordered this many times. I use a lighter one for highlighting my under eye and other areas. Before foundation I also use a skin tone matching color to conceal when I have a break out!
Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Concealer — #340
Setting Powder
I am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to setting powders because a lot of them just do not work well with my skin. All of these work beautifully, and most importantly, they do not leave a white cast on my face in flash photos!!!!
This has been my holy grail for literally YEARS now. Recently, I did try a few others that I really do like as well! They are all very comparable! This doesn't settle into my fine lines or big pores. I have super oily skin and it keeps me from lookin...
Translucent Loose Setting Powder
OH MY GOD! It is super fine, so it never looks cakey no matter what other products I've used it with. Also it works BEAUTIFULLY with the little brush you can get separately.
Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder: 2 Medium | Charlotte Tilbury
I was shocked that this worked so well. Not because I doubted it, but because for years I only found one powder good enough. This last year or so, I found 3 more that were amazing and this is DEFINITELY one of them. It doesn't settle in my fine lines...
Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Setting Powder
This ENTIRE company is simply amazing!!!! This powder has quickly become one of my go to's!! And thats huge for me because like I said prior, I went years only using one powder!!!! Like seriously this entire brand is simply amazing. And so cute!
Flour Setting Powder
Lashes
My favorite part of my makeup routine!!! Need I say more? Lol This section includes my favorite lashes AND lash glues!
THIS IS THE CUTEST PACKAGING I HAVE EVER SEEN. But it is also functional! My daughter can't open the jar to mess with my lashes. These are mama approved ! Also the lashes themselves are simply beautiful!
Cookie Jar Vegan Eyelash Collection
Took me a minute to get good with these. These aren't like normal lashes. They stay on for up to 10 days. For the days that I knew I wouldn't be able to wear makeup but I still wanted something, these were perfect!
Falscara
I use these for a more simple every day look. You know, the days that you're not trying to go full glam! They are perfect! The tweezers are very good as well. And I'm PICKY with my tweezers.
Effortless Kit - No Trim No Measure Natural Lash Kit
This is THE ONLY last glue I will use. I don't know what it is, but Velour killed it with this formula!!! I will never use another one again. It dries fairly quick, but not too quick, and the hold is HOLDING!!
Lash Adhesive Black
Love love love these lashes! They aren't too stiff but still sturdy ya know what I mean? Personally, I think the band is the perfect thickness as well.
All False Eyelashes | Vegan False Lashes
Eyeshadow
I try to keep my Benable lists as specific as I can, but this one is going to be kind of long. I love every single one of these eyeshadow pallets for many reasons!
This was the first big pallet I ever purchased. I love the range of nudes. I love nude color eyeshadow in general, but these blend beautifully and holy pigment!
35O Supernatural Glow Artistry Palette
The range of pinks and purples... love it!!! I love all Morphe eyeshadow! They blend amazingly and are never patchy!
35C Everyday Chic Artistry Palette
This will FOREVER be my top choice out of all the Naked pallets!!! I used every single pan down to the bottom with my first time buying! Never patchy and super pigmented
Naked3 Eyeshadow Palette - Pigmented Rose Neutrals
This is obviously a great choice for many reasons. The warm toned colors are just amazing. You can use them for a simple look, or go full glam.
Naked Heat Eyeshadow Palette | Urban Decay Cosmetics
This is perfect for those days you are feeling more creative. More than just nudes and pinks. I know me personally, some days I want to try something more bold. This is perfect for those days!!!
Morphe X Meredith Duxbury
I use this for eyes and highlight! The quality is ... QUALITY! They are buttery and smooth. They blend so well!
Lightwork V: I Am Palette For Eyes And Face
These are just beautiful. They dry down so well. They do not crease either. I was so skeptical about using liquid eyeshadow, but I'm so happy these were the ones I tried first!
Glitter Eyeshadow, Liquid Eyeshadow & Eye Paint
These are sooo smooth. You barely even have to apply pressure. Which is amazing because of course, the eye area is the thinnest skin! They are really good for having more control of the product at well! Good for beginners.
Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye
The blendability is THERE! LET ME TELLLL YOU! Super easy to use. I just recently started playing around with cream shadows, and these are the way to go! Super amazing if you want to cut that crease too.
Zari Eyes Eyeshadow
Blush
There are only a few blushes that I really like. Let me show you!
I was actually surprised. I didn't expect to like any of Kylie's makeup, but it's actually pretty good! Love the lip kits, brow highlighting pens, and blushes. The blushes blend really well and are not patchy.
Blushes | Kylie Cosmetics by Kylie Jenner
A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY! Holy pigment lol. I accidentally used wayyy too much my first time because I was so use to powder blushes. But once you get the amount down, it is AMAZING.
Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
You can use these for many things. They come in many colors. But I always just get the pink one for blush! As amazing as it works, I'm sure it would be great for other parts of your face too.
The Multiple: Multi Stick Makeup
Contour
There are not many products I use to contour. I have tried many, but only a couple made the cut.
The packaging is amazing and I love that they are magnetic. But most importantly the contours stick is amazing I love the formula. I do not apply directly to my face. But I use the brush to pick it up off. The stick and it blends and transfers beauti...
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Match Stix Matte Contour Skinstick
This is literally the only powder contour I will use. For some reason, all the other powders I try to use on my skin do not look right because of my texture. I do use it with a different brush though.
PRO Contour Palette & PRO Contour Brush | LORAC
Bronzer
Can't do a full face without bronzer! Let me show you my favs!
I love this bronzer so much. It looks so good on my skin even with texture. Powders are usually a tricky thing for me. So I was shocked to see how well it blended and how smooth it looked on my skin.
Hoola Matte Bronzer powder bronzer for face
This is my OG bronzer. I have reordered for years and I will always buy it. Not only does it smell amazing, but it does not break me out and it looks great on my textured skin. The color is just perfect in my opinion. Great formula.
Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer - Too Faced
The pigment is wonderful and it blends beautifully. It does not get patchy when you are trying to blend it. Which I have found to be a problem with many cream bronzers for some reason.
Cream Bronzer | Charlotte Tilbury
Setting Spray
To lock it all in before you go about your day!
Yes, I know it's been everywhere. But there is a reason for that. I don't think it's possible for a setting spray to be any better than this. I have super oily skin and sweat alot. In the summer, my makeup DOES NOT MOVE. I have lost count how many ti...
All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray
Love that it is a continuous spray. Super fine mist so you don't have to worry about spots. For a cheaper option, it holds up pretty damn well! I've used it when I run out of my holy grail and it did not let me down!
Continuous Setting Mist
This is tied with all nighter in my opinion. I have NEVER been disappointed by this setting spray! And like I've said before, I have oily skin and I sweat. It doesn't break me out either.
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray
Eyeliner
Just like everything else, it took me a while to find my favorite eye liners!
I actually purchased the mini one first because I wasn't sure how I would like it. So far this is my FAVORITE liquid eyeliner I've ever tried. Literally. Super pigmented, dries down nicely, doesn't smudge. That is super important for more dramatic lo...
Roller Liner Matte Liquid Eyeliner
I personally only use eyeliner pencils on my lower or upper water line, but the creaminess and pigment in this liner Is perfect for that! You don't have to push super hard and it stays put. Comes in many colors for the more creative too!
24/7 Glide-On Eye Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil
Mascara
I'm really particular about my mascaras so there are really only 2 I can say I LOVE!!!!
This has been my holy grail for many years now. I do use 1 other mascara (also listed) depending on a few things that given day. I see some other good ones come out every now and then, but I have never felt the need to try them. If it ain't broke don...
Better Than Sex Volumizing Mascara
If you have never tried a tubing mascara, you haven't lived!!!! The science behind it is impressive. But most importantly, it makes a huge difference with my short stubby lashes
Liquid Lash™ Extensions Mascara
Eyebrows
A small but NECESSARY step in my makeup routine!
My holy grail for years. Idk if 2016 makeup isn't on trend anymore, you can absolutely still use this for a softer more natural brow.
DIPBROW® Pomade
I use the pencil to draw the "strands" in the front of my brows and the spooky to blend it out a bit.
Perfect Brow Pencil
A little goes a long way! I barely put any right under the arch of my brow and then blend it out. It's just PERFECT!
Kybrow Highlighter
Lipstick & Lip Gloss
If I actually added all the lipsticks I like, this list would be tooooo long lol. So here's the top of the top!
I know I know. You might be thinking they are overplayed... but in my experience, they are wonderful! Decent price, they stay on for so long, and the colors are so pretty!!!! I love the liners and lipsticks equally!
Lip Kits - Kylie Cosmetics
The colors, the longevity, the texture... I'm telling you this is easily one of the best liquid lipsticks out there!
Lip Whips - Beauty Bakerie
I'm going to be completely honest, I don't see a HUGE difference in the plumping, but in general I really love it as a gloss! There is a very small plumping effect tho!
Lip Injection Extreme Lip Plumper
What is this Selena Gomez?!?! I am IMPRESSED! They are not super heavy feeling but my lips are always so much softer afterward!
Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil
