Skin Prep
Before any type of makeup goes on our face, your prep is everything! As a combination/oily girl, MOISTURE and HYDRATION will be your friend!
After cleansing, I use a cotton round and swipe this all over my face.
Heartleaf 77 Soothing Toner
Putting a quarter size in the palms of my hands, I pat this into my face and let it dry
Hydrating Milky Toner with Snow Mushroom
This step is OPTIONAL! Using a cotton round, dab a bit of this on the areas where you sweat on your face. I put this mainly on my forehead/hairline. LET IT DRY COMPLETELY (10-15 MINUTES) before proceeding to the next step.
Skin Prep Pro™ | Mehron Makeup
This is my moisturizer. I've been using it for the past several months. I'm really picky with the type of moisturizers I use but this one does the job and lays well with my makeup!
PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisturizing Cream
Primer
I'm a layer your primer type of girlie. So with the primers I list, I'm using all in one routine. You don't have to, but if you deal with oily/combination skin or have uneven texture, you may want to use similar products!
This is my first primer I put on my face. I use about a quarter size and rub it into the areas that are MOST prone to getting oily after a few hours. This includes my forhead, nose, and chin areas. Let it dry for 2-3 minutes.
Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Mattifying Water Powder Serum ...
I've already bought this 3 times. I love this down!! The upsalite technology really does a good job at smoothing/blurring your face with the added bonus of making your makeup long lasting! I use the universal shade. I get a bit on my fingers and rub ...
Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Universal
Foundation/Skin Tint
These are the foundations and skin tints I typically use. But I've been gravitating more towards my Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin tint (Shade 11). The others are optional!
SKIN in a bottle. Hydrating. Lightweight. Needs to be set well if you're an oily gal! I'm in the shade 11.
Yummy Skin - Danessa Myricks Beauty
This is one of my more affordable foundations I use from time to time. I'm in a W8 (but it's a little warm for me).
L'Oreal Paris True Match Super Blendable Foundation - W8
My full coverage foundation. It's definitely thicker than the skin tints and more mattifying! Prep will be your best friend with this. I'm in the shade 5W1.5 Cinnamon
Double Wear Stay-in-Place Longwear Matte Foundation | Estée Lauder
Color Corrector/Concealers
Depending on your needs, you may just need a concealer. But if you have hyperpigmentation, acne marks, or dark under eyes, like me, you'll also need a color corrector!
Because I have dark marks and dark under eyes I like to color correct before I go in with a concealer or foundation. I use the peach shade! I like the lightweight formula of this product. It doesn't cake up or change the tone of my makeup.
Peach 02 Wakeup Artist Under Eye Correcting Concealer - Morphe
I'm in the shade NC37. I started using this concealer a few months ago after I ran out of my Huda Beauty concealer. So far so good. The formula is hydrating which is a must for me because my undereyes tend to be on the drier side; so mattifying conce...
Studio Radiance 24Hr Luminous Lift Concealer
I'm in shade 6.3N Praline. This is another one of my concealers I used and loved. I recently finished it and switched to the Mac concealer to test out.
HUDA BEAUTY FauxFilter Matte Concealer - Praline 6.3N
Bronzer/Blush
Add some dimension back to your face with bronzer and blush ladies!
I'm in the shade Spicy Season. This is a super blendable formula. It's also not too red. Literally the perfect hue to add some warmth back to your face!
Cheek Kiss Cream Bronzer
Super affordable liquid blush. I use this alot and pair it with other colors as well. Elf has a beautiful range of colors for everyone!
Bold-Faced Lilac Camo Liquid Blush | Ulta Beauty
This is the first coral leaning blush I own. I LOVE IT DOWN! It's subtle but can be packed on for more color pay off. In the summer time this gives a nice natural flush to your cheeks. I use it A LOT. It comes with a cream, highlight and powder versi...
Beach Bonfire Cheek Thrills Multi-Finish Face Trio - Morphe
I'm In the shade Acacia Ember. What I love about this powder bronzer is that it doesn't lean heavily toward red or orange. It's very blendable and buildable. I use a fluffy brush to set the areas where I previously bronzed with my Milani cream bronze...
Haus Labs Power Sculpt Velvet Talc-Free Powder Bronzer
Setting/Loose Powders
In order for your makeup to LAST and withstand the summer heat, SET YOUR MAKEUP. This goes for your blushes and cream contours as well!
Using a small brush, once my concealer has been blended, go in with this product to initially “set” the concealer. Use a light hand! You can also apply this all over the face with a large fluffy brush to set where you put your foundations after you s...
SEPHORA COLLECTION 12HR Setting & Mattifying Pressed Powder
I'm in the shade banana bread! I use this everywhere I've placed my concealer (under my eyes, chin, forhead). You can use this as an all over powder as well, just be light handed with it. For me and my skin, I've found that the Huda beauty loose sett...
Huda Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder
Setting/Fixing Sprays
Setting sprays = helps your makeup melt together and remove the powdery look. Fixing sprays = add a layer that improves longevity. I'll be including all the ones I rotate through!
You'd have to pry this bad boy out of my hands. So this is my go-to when it comes to setting sprays. I use this before I go in with powder and then after I set my face a few times. This helps hydrate my makeup and makes sure that I have a skin-like f...
Charlotte Tilbury Transfer-Proof Setting Spray
[Affordable option]. After you go in with your liquid and cream products, spray this all over your space and let it dry for a minute before going in with your powder products! Then you can spray this again after you're done with your powders!
Continuous Setting Mist
This is an amazing setting spray! While the others I listed add hydration, this one mattifyes AND blurs your foundation. Why use both? I prefer my makeup to look semi matte; so still skin-like but not too matte. I think this product gives me the perf...
Yummy Skin Liquid Blurring Balm Setting Spray
This is a good alternative to the One Size Until Dawn Fixing spray. This is a FIXING SPRAY. I've been using this and thorougly enjoy it. This is my LAST step. Hold your breath and spray it on all over. It makes sure your makeup goes nowhere. I will s...
