triclone™ skin tech medium coverage foundation
Do not even talk to me about how smart this product is. It has the de puffing actives already inside of it. So even if you do eye prep, you’re getting another dose of hydration with this concealer. Pretty freaking awesome.
Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-Puffing Concealer
I love to take this with me when I travel because it also has Sierra in it and I love everything in a stick. This is a fantastic coverage with a little bit of blur with a little bit of serum and a lot of ease of use.

This is my holy Grail. Even before I really knew what I was doing with makeup this is just so easy to use and the results are always good. Whether use this alone or as bronzer or a contour or just as cheap color, it gives the most beautiful luminous...
Baked Balance-n-Brighten Color Correcting Foundation
This reminds me of a toy. But it’s not it’s a little blush. I love this because you can just put it on your cheek and rub it in with your warm fingers. It is the perfect amount of sheer and the perfect amount of color.
Flush Balm Cream Blush
These are rich and creamy and super easy to use. When you put them on at first, you look crazy but you could take your finger or a Q-tip and just blend out the edges and you’ll be amazed at how freaking awesome you are at using this again, stick.
Laura Mercier Caviar Stick
If you’re looking for something more affordable, these are fantastic and they really pack a bunch of color that lasts. I like to mix the match shades with the shimmer shades to create a nice daytime lock but the shimmer shades at night are really fun...

Use this before you use the Gleanser. It makes sure that all of the epic that’s stuck in your pores releases. Like makeup and environmental pollution.

I like to use these at night after I remove my makeup. You clean your skin with one side and then the other side is textured for exfoliating out those skin impurities, and getting rid of dead skin.
ROC double cleanse and exfoliate pads

Ultra Facial Cream SPF 30 - Moisturizer with SPF
Honestly, one of the most important lessons I learned about my skin is that if it’s not prepped properly, your make up is never going to look good. It’s always going to look weird. I use this on my face once a week to really do a deep exfoliation of...
