I have tried about 15 different foundations over the years but simply found that this was the best one! I use a sponge to apply, and I finish with a powder. It's so smooth to glide on and has such a light-weight feel.
Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer & Skin
The best grip! I will always and forever use Milk for my foundation grip. The clean ingredients are a bonus as well!
Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gripping Primer
Literally never smears and makes the best wing! I love the thin felt tip that glides easily in my crease. Shout-out to Lady Gaga for this one!
Clear Cut Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner - Haus Labs
The price is woah but the finish is woah-er. This product is so worth the amount you pay. Not only does it last so long because you only need a few sprits, but the makeup literally lasts all night thanks to this!
Charlotte Tilbury Transfer-Proof Setting Spray
I might be biased because I don't typically use powder, but I noticed that sometimes my foundation is just... noticable? I didn't like that look, so I tried this setting powder and OH MY did it do wonders!! I really was shocked at how it blurred my f...
Brightening Light Pink Infallible Blur-Fection Longwear Loose Setting Powder - L'Oréal Paris | Ulta Beauty
I love how this is a double sided primer and mascara set up! It really makes my lashes long. I get compliments on my eyes every time I wear this mascara! Taking it off is so easy considering it is a tubing mascara. It comes off with makeup and doesn'...
Black Double Extend Beauty Tubes Lengthening Mascara - L'Oréal Paris | Ulta Beauty
I received this as a gift from one of my student's parents for Christmas and felt so fancy (I was still so broke right after college this was my first year teaching and makeup wasn't even in the budget). The smell was intoxicating enough, but the bea...
Milk Chocolate Chocolate Soleil Matte Blurring Bronzer - Too Faced | Ulta Beauty
This is the ONE trick I've added into my makeup routine daily. I love putting the shimmery goldish color on my waterline to brighten my eyes and look alive- AND IT WORKS! It stays on all day too which is so rare for the waterline.
12HR Colorful Waterproof Retractable Eyeliner - SEPHORA COLLECTION
I've always had thick eyebrows and still struggle with shape and what works, but this double sided tool has helped me tame the beasts easily, FINALLY. I love the brush specifically that helps me add shape to my caterpillars 🐛

I love how these come in a pack of 4! The edges are nice to get into the creases on your face. The texture is perfect for my foundation to apply nice and evenly.
Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge, 4 Pack, Makeup Blending Sponges | Makeup sponges for foundation, 3-point design, foundation applicator, latex-free beauty sponge
I've used these sponge holders for years now. They hold up well in my makeup bag and I always use them in a suitcase when I travel. The fact that they come in a pack of 4 for that price is amazing!
UtySty Makeup Sponge Holder
This is a simple $3 buy I'd recommend to ANYONE because like why not?! I wouldn't travel with this because the lid pops open from time to time, it's perfect to keep at home to sharpen liners!
e.l.f. Dual-Pencil Sharpener
I love Sephora brushes. Even though I don't have this exact set, they would probably be an upgrade from the ones I have and I love those. This case is soo nice for travel (I have the wrap up with tie and they sometimes fall out so I feel like these s...
8 Piece PRO Face & Eye Brush Set - SEPHORA COLLECTION
I've been using this cleaner for 10 years. I started using it prior to knowing I was celiac, and once I did my research after being diagnosed I was happy to know I could continue to use it! It cleans my brushes well and leaves no residue.
