Makeup
Hydrating, redhead-friendly makeup that enhances natural warmth, never clings to dry patches, and always looks effortless.
I just found this primer about a year ago and I’m obsessed! My skin is so dry, especially in the winter and this helps my makeup never dry out or flake. I even mix it with my liquid foundation when I apply my makeup. It’s been a game changer.
Makeup, Face & Foundation Primers
I started using the liquid foundation about a year ago and it’s been life changing. I have very fair and dry skin. I also have freckles. It gives me moisturizing coverage and doesn’t leave my skin flakey. I get great buildable coverage and but it doe...
Foundation Makeup: Sheer to Full Coverage
This concealer is my absolute favorite. It has amazing coverage without looking cake-y. It also doesn’t crease. I’ve used more expensive brands and this is still my favorite.
Peeper Perfect Under-Eye Concealer
After my favorite blush was discontinued I was on the hunt for a replacement. This is just as good, if not better. The price is unbeatable and it’s like a blush and highlighter had a baby. I get compliments every time I wear it.
Baked Blush
I buy this product on repeat! I’m a redhead so I need something without color some days. I use the brow gel on gym days or when I’m not doing full makeup to hold my brows in black. Then I use the mascara over my black mascara on makeup days. It help...
Clear Brow & Lash Mascara
I love mixing high end and drug store brands together and elf is always a go-to. This powder is always a great price and sets my makeup wonderfully.
Perfect Finish HD Setting Powder
I’m in love with the angeled concealer brush. It gives me so much control putting my concealer on and I’m able to get close up to my eye so there’s no gap between my concealer and my eye.
Angie Hot & Flashy (7PC) | Makeup Brushes for Mature Skin
I have tried so many options when it comes to doing a winged eye. This angled brush has given me the most consistent wing every single time. Also, being a redhead, I need to tight line my waterline. This brush allows me to do that and get the perfect...
Small Angled Eyeliner Brush
This is hands-down, my favorite eyeliner. I’ve tried all the different pens and none of them ever had the right pigment or gave me the right shape. With this eyeliner, I’m able to tight line my waterline and get a crispy black wing every single time.
Long-Wear Smudge-Proof Gel Eyeliner
I loved my pot eyeliner, but it kept drying out, especially since I don’t use it every day. I found these drops that you literally use one or two into the eyeliner, mix it with a Q-tip and it’s like the eyeliner comes back to life. It’s smooth just l...
Duraline - INGLOT
As a redhead, it’s so difficult to find shades of red that work. This brow gel is the perfect shade and holds my brows in place all day long.
Thick it. Stick It! Brow Gel | NYX Professional Makeup
This is my absolute favorite mascara. I love the wand on it the most. It gets super close to your waterline and separates your eyelashes so you don’t get that clumpy look.
Lash 'N Roll® Curling & Lifting Mascara
I’ve been using this makeup set for years and love it. The price point is always great and my makeup looks the same as it does when I get home at the end of the night as when I put it on in the morning. It’s also super light and doesn’t even feel lik...
Makeup Setting Spray and Facial Mist
Skincare
Gentle, deeply hydrating skincare that supports dry, sensitive skin and keeps redness calm, balanced, and glowing.
This product has single-handedly changed my skin in the best way possible. I’ve tried so many different products and this hydrates my skin like you wouldn’t believe. It’s also given me such great texture and I just wish it came in a bigger bottle.
Superfood Skin Drip Smooth + Glow Barrier Serum
This is my new go to moisturizer. I use it mostly in the winter because it is a little bit thicker but it’s also thin enough that you could totally use it year-round. It does not have a scent which is super important and it also doesn’t make me break...
The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb with Peptide and Ceramide - belif
I first started using the Aqua bomb before I found out about the true cream and aqua bomb will always be number one in my heart. This is the perfect lightweight moisturizer. I’ve tried other water-based moisturizers that are supposed to be super hydr...
The True Cream Aqua Bomb
When I found out that my new favorite moisturizer brand made a toner I grabbed this immediately. It’s the best toner I’ve ever used. It gets all the extra makeup and dirt off, but doesn’t strip and dry out my skin. I didn’t even know something like t...
Moisturizing Bomb Toner - belif
I’ve been using this retinol for years and love it. It’s more like a cream than anything. It’s so light and it doesn’t have any sent to it. I think it’s super gentle for retinol as well.
LilyAna Naturals Retinol Cream with Hyaluronic Acid
Talk about the definition of getting baby skin. I use this about once a week in the winter and my skin is brand new afterwards. It’s the only one that seems to work and not burn.
Reintroducing the Kombucha Power Exfoliant
I love this oil, especially for the winter. When it’s super dry, and I need to lock in any moisture, I use this on top of my moisturizer. It doesn’t break me out and it just locks in all the moisture.
Rose Deep Hydration Oil-Infused Serum 100ml | Fresh US
I’ve had my fair share of difficulties with oil cleansers. I do double wash now first with their oil cleanser, and then with their regular moisturizing cleanser. But this oil one leaves my skin, the cleanest and removes all of my makeup when I use it...
Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser
This is the absolute best face cleanser on the face of this planet. It is so gentle on your skin and it feels like nothing is getting stripped away. Only oil and dirt is getting removed. It also doesn’t leave my face dry but it totally feels clean af...
Hydrating Facial Cleanser: Skin Refresh
This cleansing water is so diverse. I clean my makeup brushes. I use it when I travel to clear it off my make up and I even use it on my kids when they’ve done too much makeup or need some tattoos removed.
