Prep and prime 😍

Primer is one of those steps I didn’t always use, but now I totally get the hype. It helps everything go on smoother and stay in place longer—especially on days when I’m out and about or need my makeup to last. These are the ones I actually notice a ...

This is my go-to base — it’s a sunscreen and a primer. I wear it with or without makeup, and it never feels heavy.

I originally got this as a sample and ended up loving it. It gives my skin a healthy glow and layers beautifully under makeup.

I started with the mini size and loved it so much I bought the full size. It grips makeup really well and keeps everything in place all day.
Power Grip Primer

Contour and Bronzer ☀️

I love looking like I just got back from the beach—even if I’ve been inside all week. These bronzers and contour picks help me fake that sun-kissed, sculpted look without too much effort. They add just the right amount of warmth and definition to bri...

I mainly use the contour side of this stick, and I love how creamy and blendable it is. It gives just enough depth without looking muddy or harsh. It’s great for everyday sculpting — super easy to use even when I’m in a rush.

This one blends like butter — seriously. It gives a natural, sun-kissed warmth and stays put all day. The built-in twist and cushion applicator make it mess-free and beginner-friendly. I reach for this when I want a more sculpted but still soft look.

This is great for when I just want to be a little more bronze! Perfect to just layer over the products I already have on! Love this product so much!
Putty Bronzer - Cream to Powder Formula

Blush favs ☺️

Blush is the one thing that instantly makes me look more alive, so I never skip it. These are my favorite picks for adding a natural flush without overdoing it. Super easy to blend, super easy to love—they just give that nice, healthy glow.

This is my go-to when I want that fresh, flushed, just-came-in-from-the-cold look. The pigment is strong but still blends beautifully with a brush or fingers. The Berry shade is flattering on so many skin tones and adds such a lovely pop of color to ...
Camo Liquid Blush

This one is super easy to use — it goes on like a cream but sets down with a powder-like finish that doesn’t budge. I love the soft peachy tone of Turks & Caicos for summer or days when I want a lighter, beachy vibe. It’s buildable and blends out...

This is such an underrated drugstore find. The formula is super smooth and gives great color payoff without any patchiness. The shade Always Crushing is a gorgeous warm pink that instantly brightens my face. Plus, the primer infusion really helps it ...

Brows

Brows really make a difference—even if I’m doing the bare minimum. I like keeping them looking natural but a little more defined, just enough to frame my face and pull everything together. These are the products I use to fill, shape, or set my brows ...

I’ve repurchased this more times than I can count. It’s creamy but precise, with a fine tip that makes it easy to fill in sparse areas and shape my brows naturally. The spoolie on the other end is great for blending, and the formula holds up all day.
Best Eyebrow Pencil - Instant Lift Brow Pencil
 
Andrea Garza profile picture
This brow gel is so reliable — it sets my brows in place without making them crunchy or flaking. I use it on its own for no-makeup days or layered over pencil for a more polished brow look. It dries completely clear and gives a soft laminated effect ...

Highlighter

Highlighter is my secret for adding a little extra glow and dimension to my face. I like to keep it subtle but noticeable—something that brightens up my skin without looking too shiny or over-the-top. It’s the perfect finishing touch to make my makeu...

This product is an awesome dupe for Tarte, and I absolutely love it! It performs beautifully and provides such a lovely, subtle highlight that's perfect for any look!

Eyelashes

As a tired college student, curling my lashes and throwing on some mascara is basically my cheat code for looking awake. I might skip everything else, but this step is non-negotiable—it instantly makes me look like I’ve slept more than I have. These ...

A simple step that makes a huge difference. I switch between a rubber-handled and a metal-handled version depending on what’s nearby — both do a great job at lifting my lashes and opening up my eyes before mascara.
Lash Curler

If I want long, defined lashes, this is my go-to. It lengthens like crazy without clumping or flaking, and the slim brush grabs every single lash. It’s one of those mascaras that makes it look like you’re wearing natural lash extensions.
Telescopic Intense Lash Length Original Mascara

This one gives me great volume and lift. I have it in both black and brown — I reach for brown on lighter makeup days. It builds nicely without getting clumpy, and I love that it washes off easily with no raccoon eyes.
