Skin prep is undoubtably the most *important* part of your base routine. Keep reading to see my 2-step-skin-prep that guarantees you a solid base!
First unskippable skin prep step: exfoliate! This is the least harsh way and my favorite method. As someone with a damaged skin barrier (but healing with the help of my derm!), finding a gentle but effective way to exfoliate before makeup was super i...
Phyto-enzyme Peeling Pad
Listen. I'm pale. I'm a natural redhead and I'm paler than other readheads I know. SPF has been an unskippable step for me my entire life and it should be for you as well. This is an affordable, high SPF that looks fantastic under makeup. I've gone t...
Versed SPF 50 Daily Sunscreen
prime ☁️
More of a expansion to the skin prep than actual primers, but this will do what all the other primers promise.
2025 Allure Award winning product and worth ALLLL the hype and more. So so so beautiful on any skin type. I first got the sample and loved it so much that I started rationing it for special occassions only. Can never go without this gem!
Vitamin Enriched Face Base Moisturizer & Primer
THAT girl. Helps everything blend in that much more seamlessly and hydrates the skin before any drying products without making me oily. Honestly speaking, this is the most optional base routine step but it adds an extra luxurious experience to the wh...
glazing mist
complexion ☁️
Oily and dry skin recommendations for all of y'all, becuase that *is* important.
Amazing shade range, amazing finish, completely hydrating for my dry skin in the winter. I will forever repurchase this holy grail.
triclone™ skin tech medium coverage foundation
Oily skin alternative to the Haus Labs: Miss Huda knew what she was doing with this launch. The primer is typically hit or miss, but I can rest assured that whenever this foundation goes on it *will* look flawless. Fantastic shade range!
HUDA BEAUTY Easy Blur Natural Airbrush Foundation with Niacinamide
My holy grail concealer. I have natural dennie line creases under my eyes and this concealer creases the least of every one that I've tried (and I've tried A LOT, both high end and drugstore). I will shout this concealer's praises from the mountain t...
Glossier Stretch Balm Concealer
cheek ☁️
You only need 2 things, I promsie. Bring some life back into that face!
It's technically a contour but most shades are super warm so I use it as a bronzer! Beautiful formula and super easy to blend!
Face Trace Contour Stick in Biscuit by Westman Atelier
Beautiful formula and amazing shades (I personally love Sleepy Girl, Tan Line, Toasted Teddy, Piggy, and Date Cake)! I find that it doesn't remove any makeup underneath, doesn't look patchy, blends like a dream, and is actually still on at the end of...
pocket blush - sleepy girl
I use a damp sponge to tap some of this onto the high points of my cheekbones for a beautiful rosy non-shimmery glow. Pairs absolutely stunningly with Rhode Sleepy Girl!
Light Lock Highlight Fluid
setting ☁️
Finally, make sure your flawless base actually stays on your face!
Strong enough to set your liquids and creams; silky enough to not look cakey. Has that instant mattifying and blurring effect we're all chasing after but it's light enough to avoid that super heavy, cakey, powdery look.
Veil™ Translucent Setting Powder | Talc-Free
I've heard it's a dupe for the Hourglass Ambient Finishing Powders and while I've never tried those, this finishing powder is STUNNING. I use a fluffy brush and dust this everywhere to not only finish my whole face, but set my cream blush and bronzer...
Cloudlight Soft Glow Veil Finishing Powder
Instantly sets makeup and completely gets rid of that powdery look that I hate. Keeps my makeup in place all day, even nights out in hot-and-humid coastal Texas!
Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray
Does it smell a bit like hairspray? Sure. But for special occassions where you can't afford any of your makeup to move, this is your girl.
One Size On 'Til Dawn Setting Spray
tools ☁️
THE beauty sponge. Deserves every bit of her Best of Beauty award! At an unbeatable price and unbeatable performance, I will never purchase another sponge.
Paw Paw: Super Soft Wonder Blender - Teardrop
The perfect brush for foundation, and I *will* die on that hill. I've heard some call it a dupe for the Hourglass and Haus Labs brushed? I can't attest to that, but I will say that because I have this, I have absolutely 0 urge to try those brushes.
Face Diffuser Multi-Tasking Brush - Versed
This is THE brush for blush and contour/bronzer. If you really lock in, you can do almost your entire face with this brush. If you take away anything from this list, make sure it's that you need this brush.
