Primers🫧
i LOVE this primer! it is sticky and grippy and makes me feel like my makeup is staying! I also find it’s effective at giving that “poreless” look once my makeup is on top
Power Grip Primer - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
I wish I could say $34 isn’t worth it for this primer…… but it is. this primer blurs the pores SO well and keeps my makeup on alllllll day long. I reach for this one more when I know my makeup needs to stay all day
Secure The Blur Makeup Magnet Primer
Foundations😗
I am someone that doesn’t like the feel of foundation, especially heavy/full coverage. I love halo glow bc it gives just enough coverage for my liking AND is buildable without feelings heavy on my skin!
Halo Glow Liquid Filter Complexion Booster
If you’ve seen my other recs, you know I don’t like a heavy foundation feeling on my skin. I grab for this foundation on days I know I will sweat or be wearing makeup for a longgggg time. It’s lightweight & easy to blend & buildable to whatev...
Natural Beige 220 - Fit Me Matte + Poreless Liquid Foundation - Maybelline | Ulta Beauty
Concealers🤫
honestly…. this is a dupe for my high end rec. this concealer is an awesome alternative. I do still think the splurge on the NARS is worth it, but if you’re ballin on a budget like me, here is a great option!
Maybelline Fit Me Natural Finish Concealer | Ulta Beauty
I was never one to splurge on a concealer since there are so many good drugstore ones…. but this concealer is worth every cent!!! It’s thick & full coverage, but not heavy under the eye & super easy to blend. I use shade nougatine
NARS Creamy Radiant Concealer
Powders 😶🌫️
for the price?! this is SUCH an amazing deal and will last you foreverrrr. my only complaint is it has a baby powder-ish smell. but again… for the price?! you can’t beat it
Airspun Loose Powder, 005 Translucent Extra Coverage, 1.2 oz, Talc Free
I have been using this powder for years and it is STILL my go to. it has such a flawless finish and this pot will last you a long time
Translucent Loose Setting Powder - Laura Mercier | Ulta Beauty
Contour 🤎
I like the product- only reason I don’t love it is because I prefer a neutral toned shade and elf just doesn’t have one. but overall, easy to blend and gets the job done!
Halo Glow Contour Beauty Wand - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
I use this as a cream bronzer and I swear the shade is a DUPE for the charolette tilbury wand. I use shade dark cocoa. be careful tho because she is pigmented!!!!
⭐️Second pic is shade on my own wrist, blended
Dark Cocoa Lightweight HD Pro Creamy Concealer - L.A. Girl | Ulta Beauty
I love this and I think it is because of the shade. This shade is neutral toned, which I love for contouring, then using bronzer to give me the sunkissed look. I recommend shade medium
Medium Hollywood Contour Wand - Charlotte Tilbury | Ulta Beauty
Bronzer☀️
this is my tried & true hidden gem. the shade is PERFECTION. I sometimes use the banana powder on this as well to set my undereyes.
Wet n Wild - Dulce De Leche MegaGlo Contouring Palette | Ulta Beauty
another gem of a bronzer. this one gives a little more shimmer if you’re into that! it also smells delicious like coconuts and sunscreen
Sunkissed Bronzer Butter Bronzer Murumuru Butter Bronzer - Physicians Formula | Ulta Beauty
we know her, we love her. be sure to use a LIGHT hand if you go for this product because she is veryyyyyy pigmented
Original Hoola Matte Powder Bronzer - Benefit Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
love love love the blendability of the product. to me, its also a great deal because you’re getting cream and powder all in one. for a warm bronzed look: shade she’s bronzed. for a cool toned bronze: she’s chiseled
Patrick Ta - Major Sculpt Crème Contour & Powder Bronzer Duo
Blush🤭
amazing blush for a great price! also a huge shade range. be careful using this one because it is SUPER pigmented
Camo Liquid Blush - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
another splurge I think is worth the price. you get the cream and the powder. together stunning and pigmented; alone either choice will look subtle and perfect. also has a huge shade range- I use shade: she’s flushed
Patrick Ta- Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo
this product went viral on tik tok & for good reason. The bronzer is great, it’s pigmented, but a little too warm toned for my liking. But if you prefer warm tone you’ll love it! The blush tho🤭 The blush is the perfect shade of “kinda sunburnt” ...
DIBS Beauty - Desert Island Duo Blush + Bronzer Stick | Ulta Beauty

-Tea & Cookies
-Whipped Caviar
-Natural
Suede Matte Lip Liner Velvet Soft Vegan Lip Pencil - NYX Professional Makeup | Ulta Beauty
im obsessed with this lip gloss. the shade is perfect for a bronde/brunette. it really does plump but doesn’t sting like some other plumping glosses do
What The Fake! Extreme Plumping Lip Filler - Essence | Ulta Beauty
also obsessed with this one. feels so nice on the lips & has tons of shades. there is also a shimmer version available!
Glow Reviver Lip Oil - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
obvi this is the high end of my drugstore. they are pretty similar, but I find this one to be thinner and less sticky. especially love the shade cherry🍒

Eyeshadow 😍
Colorpop’s eyeshadows are unreal for the price. this is a great pigmented palette for all the basic looks

gives amazing volume!!! combine with the loreal teloscopic and you’re set.
Essence - Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara | Ulta Beauty
kind of pricey for a mascara in my opinion, but definitely the most lengthening drug store option
L'Oréal Telescopic Original Washable Mascara - | Ulta Beauty
this is a tubing mascara if you’re into that! I personally love that it comes off so easy at the end of the day. I also love the brown shade
Deep Brown Lash XTNDR Mascara - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
another worth the price for me! I love this mascara and it doesn’t smudge!
