super hydrating, doesn't crease, covers a lot, and does not stick to dry patches! Have repurchased this like 3 times.
hydrating serum concealer: Tower 28
In cold dry weather, it’s hard to find powder that doesn’t stick to dry patches. This does the trick! The only powder I fully trust and am able to pack on without it looking cakey or cracking.
best pressed powder: Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder
Stays all day!
long-lasting liquid blush: Rare Beauty
Stays all day, super blendable and easy to apply!
compact blush: Nudestix Stax
so easy to blend, gives you a dewy glow, and isn't patchy. What's not to love?
best dewy blush stick: Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Lip + Cheek Glow Blush Stick with Hyaluronic Acid
I love mixing this into my foundation, or applying it alone for no-makeup days. It gives the most gorgeous glow and boost of hydration.
Have been using this for literal YEARS, it's my go-to fail-proof setting spray that prevents transfer and fading, and doesn't dry out your skin.
best long-lasting, non-drying setting spray: Urban Decay All-Nighter
My gosh, this tub lasts FOREVER and the moisturizer soaks into your skin so easily. It's not greasy though, and my face feels so hydrated and non-flakey throughout the colder months. 10/10.
best heavier, non-comedogenic face moisturizer: Vanicream
same as the “best pressed powder” - just as a refill!
refill of Charlotte Tillbury powder
eyes & lip products
The absolute best gloss out there. I am a gloss SNOB and this one never dries down crusty or flaky. It's super long-lasting and has good color payoff.
non-sticky, long wear gloss: Tower 28 Shine On Lip Jelly
