Base
Cream base products that I love for my skin
This is the best skin tint in the market I got it one shade darker to even my face out but she has a lot of great shades. I haven’t ever used foundation but this on a night out 🤏
Yummy Skin tint
I LOVE THIS PRODUCT, i prefer I liquid bronzer versus a cream stick formula so this is what melts into my skin for a seamless transition
SoftSculpt® Bronzing & Shaping Serum: LIGHT MEDIUM
This mixes with any concealer for a nice bright under eye and I do wear it on its own and it works wonderfully and the applicatior is a metal tip so it has a nice cooling effect

Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer
Sephora Sale buy I’m still getting used to formula and application but it’s a good cream option for spot concealer versus the rare beauty. I got the second lightest shade for my skin tone
Soft Matte Complete Concealer: AFFAGATO
Skin prep and Primers
Glowy and grippy base
This is the only grippy primer that works for me and my skin, for reference I haven’t ever used combo oily skin so this doesn’t pill for me or cause patchiness
Plump Right Back Face Primer Serum | NYX Professional Makeup
This is pricey but so worth it in my opinion to have that glow I use this before primer
Great Skin
This stuff is the best boxing drops it makes me look so tan, the only gripe I have is the rose scent because that’s just not my preference but it is worth it all around

Easy Bake Loose Powder: CHERRY BLOSSOM
Mascara
This mascara is a great lengthening option as well as the tubing aspect makes it easy to remove at the end of the day. I recommend using micellar water before cleansing or else you will burn your eyes
Milani Mascara
This is a new tubing mascara and it comes off pretty wet after the first couple uses and gradually dries the more you use it. It’s one of the most long lasting mascaras I’ve ever used
Hourglass Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara: ULTRA BLACK
