It can be overwhelming and stressful walking into makeup stores so I made this list to make it easier. I’ve had first hand experience with these products so don’t worry about any of these performing poorly. Strongly recommend all of my favorites!
I love this mini lip balms also a really good dupe for summer fridays!!! I love every flavor especially the strawberry! It’s such a cute size to bring everywhere, I wear mine all the time.

This is such a good gloss I have nothing but positive experiences with this product. Amazing shades and for the price it gives a great glossy lip
This is really like a filter. I love this powder and mine has lasted a long time. It’s an investment but you can replace the powder individually in the future. The mini sizes are very affordable and work just as well
2 Medium Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder - Charlotte Tilbury | Ulta Beauty

This is definitely my favorite Charlotte kit! It’s super affordable and gives two amazing products for the price of the lip liner in full size. There’s two possible shade combinations but I love the pillow talk liner shade with refresh rose gloss!

2 Light Gimme Brow+ Tinted Volumizing Eyebrow Gel Mini - Benefit Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty

This lip and cheek stain is so worth it. I use it on my lips everyday to bring some color back. It blends super natural or you can easily build this product for more color. Perfect for summer
This is an amazing product for a base glow. I’d recommend going a shade deeper than your natural foundation to give a better result. This product doesn’t feel sticky and blends well!
This is an amazing dupe for the Merit stick highlighter. It gives amazing shimmer and the same soft buttery application for a lower price. I love all of these shades
This will always be my ride or die concealer. Amazing application and I love the size of the brush. It’s super blend able and gives an amazing smooth base. I’m on my 5th one! Can’t recommend this enough!!
This mascara gives LENGTH! It’s amazing for a top up mascara to add that extra lash length. They also have a waterproof version but I prefer the original. It’s not clumpy and super affordable so it will always be one of my favorites!!
