items Makeup I’ll actually finish (and repurchase). Most days, I’m not trying to look done—I just want to look like I slept 8 hours, drank water, and maybe have a steady morning routine 😅 This is my go-to no-makeup makeup lineup: quick, easy favorites tha...

Cheeks😚
I’m a firm believer that blush can fix a tired face, a boring outfit, or a “maybe I should’ve stayed home” kind of morning. These are my cheeky picks—the ones that add just enough color to wake things up without stealing the whole show.
Creamy, blen...
Phenomenal and ate down. So buildable and creamy. Lasts almost all day and doesn’t look greasy. Love the glassy pomelo for a fair skin tone
HausLabs | Color Fuse Glassy Blush Balm Stick
Even tho people say it’s too pigmented— that’s the whole point I fear. I love this. No notes 10/10
Rare Beauty | Soft Pinch Liquid Blush Mini
Such a sweet, easy-to-wear palette—I’ve loved using this one. The shades blend beautifully for a soft flush, and the finish is super natural. Sadly, it looks like it’s no longer sold, but I’d repurchase in a heartbeat if it came back.
Covergirl CleanFresh Blush Palette || 100 Dream in Pink
Eye Essentials👀
Everything I use to pull the eyes together—liners, mascaras, and a few low-effort shadows that make it look like I tried. These are the staples I reach for when I want definition without a full eye look. Quick, simple, and always in rotation 👁️✨
This was my first Makeup by Mario product—and I get the hype. The brown and navy shades on the bottom row are perfect for soft winged liner or setting my gel liner so it doesn’t budge. It’s discontinued now (unfortunately), so while I love it, I woul...
MakeupByMario | Ethereal Eyes Eyeshadow Palette
This gel liner is buttery smooth—seriously one of the easiest formulas to work with. I use it with a Morphe angled eyeliner brush for a sharp, clean line or a soft wing, and it stays put all day without smudging. Great for tightlining too.
MAC | Pro Longwear Fluidline Eye Liner And Brow Gel
A tried-and-true classic that’s worth every repurchase. I’ve probably bought it five times now—I’ve been using it religiously since it first launched in early 2019. The soft brown color is just the right balance of definition without feeling harsh, a...
Benefit | Roller Liner Matte Liquid Eyeliner - Felt Tip
Shockingly good for the price. Holds a curl, doesn’t smudge, and gives just the right amount of definition. My go-to when I need something that’ll last through humidity, tears, or long days.
Essence | Lash Princess Waterproof Mascara
My mom swears by this mascara and got me hooked too. It lasts surprisingly well—barely any flaking until hours into the day—and gives a nice, clean lift without feeling heavy. Honestly didn’t expect to like it this much, but it’s earned a spot in the...
Laura Geller | Kajal Longwear Mascara
Prep & Perfect✨
The behind-the-scenes heroes that pull everything together. These are my go-to picks for smoothing, sculpting, brightening, and setting—plus a few that quietly make everything else wear better. Whether it’s a little concealer, a blur powder, or a qui...
Lightweight, creamy, and actually hydrating—this one feels like skincare and makeup in one. Blends out super easily without creasing or clinging, and the finish is smooth and natural. Bonus points: it’s made in Italy, which just feels like a flex. 🇮...
Tower 28 | Swipe Hydrating Serum Concealer
Lightweight, smooth, and really does what it says—blurs without caking. Sets my base beautifully while still letting skin peek through. It’s not heavy or overly matte, just a clean, soft finish that keeps everything in place.
Milani | Conceal + Perfect Blur Out Powder
One of the best drugstore bronzers I’ve tried—super smooth, blendable, and truly matte without looking flat. It gives a soft warmth that builds easily without going patchy, and the finish lives up to the name: silky. Solid everyday staple.
Milani | Silky Matte Bronzing Powder
A really pretty, sheer wash of warmth with a subtle glow—feels like sunshine in a bottle. I mix a drop or two into my moisturizer or SPF for that slightly bronzed, healthy-skin look without shimmer overload. Easy to wear and surprisingly buildable.
Pacifica | Sunny Glow Bronzing Drops
Pretty sure I’ve had the same bottle for 10 years and it still looks full. It’s super pigmented and gives that soft, cool-toned glow without looking glittery. I just use my fingertips to tap a tiny dot on my cheekbones, the tip of my nose, and someti...
Benefit | High Beam Liquid Highlighter
Simple, affordable, and it gets the job done. I use it to keep my brows in place without stiffness or flakes—and it doubles as a quick fix for baby hair flyaways too. The hold is flexible but reliable, especially for a natural, everyday look.
NYX | Control Freak Eyebrow Gel
I have the mini and it’s somehow lasted forever. I only use it when I’m doing a fuller face, but a tiny amount goes a long way. It smooths everything out and gives a soft, blurred base—definitely a staple for more polished makeup days.
Smashbox | Photo Finish Smooth & Blur Primer
Lippies💋
These are the lippies I reach for when I want a little something without going full statement lip. Just enough tint, hydration, and shine to pull everything together (even if the rest of my face is doing the bare minimum).
I keep at least one of the...
The jelly applicator tip is everything and this formula is so creamy and not sticky at all- cherry and poppy flavors are my fave!! Color payoff and scent are what make these stand out🥳
Summer Fridays | Cherry Lip Butter Balm
The longest lasting lipliner I’ve found to date!! Perfect on its own, with a bit of gloss, or as the base for a full lip look. Perfectly matte, not flakey, and creamy to apply
MakeupForever | Artist Color Pencil Liner
