Simple/affordable make up routine for beginners
26
items Mostly drug store make up products I use everyday, beginner friendly!
After skin care, this is the first base of my routine. Tinted SPF that doesn’t clog pores, creates an even base for your makeup
Plus One
This is step 2, I mix a light cool shade with a medium cool shade for when I’m tan. Super lightweight feel, not full coverage
True Match Super-Blendable Foundation
Love this brow pencil it has a fine felt tip so it looks natural and is super easy to use
Holy Strokes Micro-Fine Brow Pen

Halo Glow Contour Beauty Wand
Dusty rose is my fave shade! I use this on my cheeks first and layer with the monochromatic elf stick
Camo Liquid Blush
Bronzed cherry gives you a sun-kissed look, i use this on top of my pink elf liquid blush
Monochromatic Multi Stick Makeup
Picked this setting powder up just to try it out and I love it! Sets makeup and lasts alllll day
Light Reflecting™ Setting Powder - Pressed
I use a light shade, looks more natural on cool fair skin
Infallible Up to 24H Fresh Wear Soft Matte Bronzer
I only use this sometimes, over my spf if I need my makeup to last all day. It just adds a glowy base and makes your pores disappear
NARS Primers - Light Optimizing, Refining, Pore Perfector
I use this full coverage foundation just on spots where I have breakouts or redness. It makes breakout disappear and using it only on small spots helps make makeup look more natural. Just make sure you get the right shade
NARS Foundation Makeup: Liquid, Powder, Matte
I use this in a brown shade, it looks more natural with my blonde hair, it doesn’t get clumpy and doesn’t look like too much
Lash Sensational Sky High® Washable Mascara
I got this lip liner in a sample set from Sephora and love it!! I have a mauve color that’s so cute in the winter. I also have the matching lip plumping gloss
Ultra Suede® Sculpting Lip Pencil
Love this!! Lasts all day and really helps the powder and bronzer melt into your skin
Makeup Revolution Superfix Misting Setting Spray
This is always step one after washing my face. Help to hydrate and the hyaluronic acid helps to shrink pores. LOVE THIS STUFF
Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water All in 1 Hyaluronic Acid Replump Makeup Remover, Face Cleanser, 13.5 fl oz
A little more pricey, but definitely worth it. Goes on so well under make up or by itself. And it’s actually tinted so you can wear it by itself for a little coverage
SunnyDays™ Tinted SPF 30
Recently started using cream bronzer, this one looks so good on your skin. I’m super fair skinned and their lightest shade looks so good
Dew Bronze™
Got a little mini version of this to try. It is suuuper pigmented so a little goes a long way. I like this color but would probably go for a darker reddish color next time
Happy Soft Pinch Liquid Blush - Rare Beauty | Ulta Beauty
I just started using this toner and it is lovely. It really hydrates your skin and feels so good on
Wonder Ceramide Mochi Toner - TONYMOLY | Ulta Beauty
Love these brushes, I like this set because it has brushes you’ll use everyday, and makeup goes on so clean with these!! Def recommend for a beginner
Portrait Mode 5-Piece Face Brush Set - Morphe | Ulta Beauty
Makes applying pressed powder so easy, they are all the same in my opinion so I usually just get the cheapest ones
To the Point Dual-Sided Powder Puff - Morphe | Ulta Beauty
I use this after applying foundation with a brush- I get this damp and just pat it all over the foundation to hydrate and blend it out. Like powder puffs these seem to all do the same thing so I get the cheapest ones
e.l.f. Total Face Sponge
I used to SWEAR by this, it looked so good on and was the perfect amount of coverage. But they make it with Talc so I sadly stopped using it. Always check the ingredients!!
CoverGirl + Olay Simply Ageless 3-in-1 Foundation, Fair Ivory, Natural Beige, Medium Beige, Nude Beige, Ivory, Creamy Beige, Warm Beige, Soft Honey, Classic Tan, Golden Tan, Buff Beige, Classic Ivory, Creamy Natural
I used to looove this but found out it was contributing to my breakouts :/ definitely recommend if it doesn’t break you out! It looks so nice under foundation and gives you an even base
