Long lasting, blurs pores, makes your skin look filtered.

Ashley Mendez profile picture
These are one of the best drugstore setting powders on the market right now. They’re blurring and stand up well against flash photography!

The most beautiful concealer in the game right now. Probably the most creaseless undereye concealer I’ve tried AND it wears beautifully. Provides coverage while still looking skin like.
HY‑Glam Concealer – Luminous Matte Full‑Coverage Wear
 
Ashley Mendez profile picture
I have this foundation in 3 shades so that I always have a match while fake tanning. This is by far the best foundation on the market. I always come back to it.
Foundation Collection – HY‑Glam & Face Glow Coverage

If you can’t afford Rhode Toasted Teddy, or you don’t think Toasted Teddy looks flattering on you, you need to get this product instead. Stunning color and incredibly pigmented.
Toasted Sky Cloudtopia Cheek and Lip Mousse - Maybelline

Very sticky and wears nicely on the skin. If you find that the normal power grip primer makes your makeup look bad, try the pink one with niacinamide.
Power Grip Primer - e.l.f. Cosmetics

This is a really nice gripping primer! Not as sticky as Elf, BUT very moisturizing! Gives you that glass skin look.
The Face Glue Gripping Primer - NYX Cosmetics
 
Ashley Mendez profile picture
This is a very nice, medium buildable coverage foundation! Excellent shade range, matte finish, very blurring. I love this for every day use.
Easy Blur Natural Airbrush Foundation with Niacinamide - Sephora

This is a very good pore minimizing primer! I use this in my T-zone only.
Easy Blur Silicone-Free Smoothing & Pore-Minimizing Primer
 
Ashley Mendez profile picture
THE BEST blurring primer on the market. It looks beautiful in person AND in photos. You can truly see a difference in your pores. Because of the price, I use this for formal events - otherwise this would be an everyday product for me.
Secure The Blur Makeup Magnet Primer | ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr
 
Ashley Mendez profile picture
The GOAT. This is THE foundation you go to for longevity and full coverage. Matte foundation without sucking the life out of your skin. 1000/10 recommend for long days, outdoor events, and formal events!
Double Wear Stay-in-Place Longwear Matte Foundation
 
Ashley Mendez profile picture
This is a very pretty, everyday foundation. This has medium coverage, a thin consistency, and looks like your skin but better.
Triclone™ Skin Tech Foundation - Haus Labs
 
Ashley Mendez profile picture
Very nice, creamy, and full coverage from the drugstore. This does crease under the eyes those, so be careful!
silky BLUR HYDRATING LONGWEAR CONCEALER
 
Ashley Mendez profile picture
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful everyday concealer. I LOVED this on no-foundation days. So full coverage, but skin-like.
Magic Touch Concealer | Anastasia Beverly Hills
 
Ashley Mendez profile picture
Very nice, long lasting concealer! More on the matte side, but covers acne extremely well! Looks very nice under the eyes too!
Double Wear Stay-in-Place 24-Hour Concealer | Estée Lauder
 
Ashley Mendez profile picture
THE BEST under eye setting powder drugstore OR high-end - specifically the light pink color. A little goes a long way. You will actually look photoshopped.
L'Oreal Paris Infallible Blur-fection Powder
 
Ashley Mendez profile picture
The OG powder melt setting spray. I’ve been repurchasing for 10 years. Does nothing for longevity but will melt your powders down seamlessly. I use this throughout my routine and then finish off with a long lasting setting spray.
Morphe Continuous Micro-Fine Setting Mist
 
Ashley Mendez profile picture
Very pretty face powder, love this for the center of my face!
Cloud Set Setting Powder - Kosas Cosmetics
 
Ashley Mendez profile picture
Love this for brightening my under eye! The talc free formula does have a slight sheen. I don’t mind that though!
Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation | 67 Shades - MAC Cosmetics

Very creamy and blendable contour stick! Not too warm toned, and will last you a long time!
Smooth Blur Contour Stick - Anastasia Beverly Hills
 
Ashley Mendez profile picture
This blush is incredibly pigmented and blendable. This warm tone duo is extremely versatile!
Earth-Toned, Natural Cheek Blushed Duos - Juvia's Place
 
Ashley Mendez profile picture
Truly a dupe for the classic Beauty Blender. You should never pay $20 for a makeup sponge. This Paw Paw sponge is 95% similar to the OG, and it’s a fraction of the cost!
Paw Paw: Super Soft Wonder Blender - Teardrop

Best mascara, been using it for years! However, it’s not beginner friendly. Buy this if you’re comfortable with the complex wand.
L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Lift Mascara
 
Ashley Mendez profile picture
The best matte black liquid liner. This is a dip brush applicator, so not the most beginner friendly, but still easy to use with practice!
Lash PRINCESS LIQUID LINER - essence makeup
 
Ashley Mendez profile picture
The best drugstore brush tip liquid liner pen! Very beginner friendly!
Epic Ink Waterproof Liquid Liner | NYX Professional Makeup
 
Ashley Mendez profile picture
The creamiest, most pigmented pencil liner ever. It’s almost gel-like. Really long lasting, I love the angled applicator, and I have all the matte shades. I’ve repurchased twice now.
Epic Inky Stix Waterproof Cream Gel Eyeliner | NYX Cosmetics

Honey love is a very wearable nudge shade for fair to light skin tone girlies. Slightly pink, and won’t make you look dead.
M·A·Cximal Silky Matte Lipstick - MAC Cosmetics
