SKIN

The secret to my makeup looking good isn't the foundation itself—it's what I put underneath it. This is my holy grail trio for prepping my skin and creating a smooth, hydrated, and protected base that makes everything else just... work.

My secret weapon for keeping my skin happy, especially when it's feeling stressed out or dry. This balm is a lifesaver. If I've overdone it with an exfoliant or am dealing with a flaky patch, a small amount of this worked into the skin completely tra...
Cicaplast Balm B5 for Dry Skin Irritations

This is my all-time favorite facial sunscreen, and for good reason. I've tried so many that felt heavy, greasy, or left a terrible white cast, but this one is the total opposite. The tinted formula gives just enough coverage to even out my skin tone ...

This is a product that lives up to its name. It's truly like a real-life filter for my face. I love how it instantly blurs the look of my pores and fine lines, creating a silky-smooth surface for my foundation to glide over. It also gives me a subtle...
Tula Filter Primer

EYES

For me, the eyes are the most expressive part of the face, and these three products are the stars of my eye makeup routine.

This brow pencil is my ride-or-die. I’ve tried so many high-end and drugstore brow products, but I always come back to this one. The ultra-fine tip is a game-changer for creating tiny, hair-like strokes that look incredibly natural. It’s not too waxy...

This mascara has a permanent spot in my makeup bag because it delivers on every single one of its promises. I have naturally straight lashes, and this mascara is the only one I've found that gives me a dramatic curl and lift without needing to use an...
Roller Lash Curling Mascara

I know this is a splurge, but it is absolutely worth every penny. The pigmentation is intense, and the shadows last all day without creasing. This is the one palette I'd grab if I could only have one for the rest of my life.
Golden Eyeshadow Palette

FACE

This collection is the core of my face makeup routine, offering everything from a long-wearing foundation to the perfect finishing sprays. Each product has earned its place because it performs beautifully, helping me achieve a flawless look that last...

This blush is a recent obsession of mine. The cream-to-powder formula is so unique—it blends like a dream and then sets down so it doesn't move all day. The colors are incredibly vibrant, but you can sheer them out for a more subtle flush or build th...

I'm a huge fan of cream products for a natural, skin-like finish, and this bronzer stick is the best. The formula is so creamy and blendable that it melts into my skin, giving me a sun-kissed warmth that never looks muddy or orange.

This is my special-occasion, "I need my makeup to last forever" foundation. The coverage is phenomenal—it completely evens out my skin tone and hides imperfections without looking heavy or cakey.
Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation

This is the ultimate "set it and forget it" product for me. While it's called the "Bridal" spray, I use it whenever I need my makeup to be bulletproof. It locks everything in place for hours on end, preventing my foundation and powders from caking or...
The Makeup Finishing Spray - Bridal Formula

This product is a genius invention and an absolute non-negotiable for me, especially living in Florida. It's not just a setting spray; it's a way to reapply SPF over my makeup throughout the day without ruining my look. The mist is so fine, and it le...
Hydrating Glow Mist Setting Spray SPF50+

For a concealer, this one punches way above its weight class. It gives me full coverage to hide blemishes and brightens my under-eyes beautifully. What I love most is that it's the "hydrating" version, which means it doesn't settle into my fine lines...
Hydrating Camo Concealer

LIPS

When it comes to lips, I want them to look and feel good. This dynamic duo is all I need for a glossy, plump finish and a deeply hydrated feel, whether I'm wearing a full face of makeup or keeping it simple.

This is my secret to instantly fuller-looking lips. The signature plumping complex gives a comfortable, tingling sensation (not a painful sting!) that makes my lips look juicy and plump. The formula is a dream—it's super glossy without being sticky, ...
Full-On™ Plumping Lip Polish Gloss

This is my go-to for serious lip hydration. I use this as an overnight treatment to wake up with the softest, smoothest lips, but I also love to put a little on as a primer before I apply any lip color. The jelly texture feels amazing and melts into ...
Jelly Pop Luscious Lip Mask
