Primer
Glowy, natural makeup that doesn’t move starts here.
I genuinely cannot do my makeup without using this under my base. It is pricey, but I have had it for over a year and still have at least half the bottle left (although I do not wear makeup every day)
Great Skin
This moisturizer paired with the great skin serum will have your makeup looking FLAWLESS. My makeup with and without Merit primers is night and day. It truly makes you look flawless and glowy. If you’re going to splurge on a good makeup primer, pleas...
Great Skin Moisturizer
I will never do a makeup look without this as my base. It is so light yet so effective. Sunglow for highlight, starglow for bronze.
Saie Glowy Super Gel | All-Over Luminizer | Clean Highlighter
Blurring, smoothing, shine control. Everything I look for in a primer and you should too. Prime & set with milk and you’re guaranteed flawless makeup all day
MILK MAKEUP - Pore Eclipse Liquid Primer
Base/ Concealer
Simple yet effective list. If I added more I’d be lying
Best concealer I’ve used. Perfect amount of coverage, clean ingredients and has never ever looked cakey or dry
Swipe Hydrating Serum Concealer
Skin in a bottle. Haus Labs foundation feels light weight while giving the perfect amount of coverage. So many shades for all skin types and has never broke me out. I would be very hesitant to use anything BUT this!
triclone™ skin tech medium coverage foundation
Wow. While the Merit complexion stick has a learning curve, it is so worth it. Easily swipe on one layer to conceal, or take advantage of its buildable properties for a more full coverage look. Beautiful packaging & clean formula. What more could...
Merit Brush The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick
This… should be a part of everyones routine. Melts into your skin. Has SPF. Adjusts to your skin tone. Doesn’t pill or smell. Enough said
DreamBeam SPF 40 PA++++
Blush
Creams, balms, powder… I’ve got you covered!
This powder blush is slept on. Clean ingredients and SO inexpensive. Dusty rose is such a pretty & natural shade
Shop the Best Blush
Merit blush balms are absolutely perfect for a natural sun kissed look
Flush Balm Cream Blush
Saie really took their time with this one. She gives a dewy, sun kissed (or cold kissed) look, while only needing a little product. This will likely last you beyond its expiration date. So worth the price for the pigmentation.
Saie Dew Blush™ | Liquid Cheek Flush
I was gifted this for Christmas and have to say it’s slept on! I’ve never really seen people talk about it but its such a beautiful dewy blush made with clean ingredients. win win!
Blush Butter Balm
Bronzer/ Contour
2 recs only because there is nothing I’d recommend more.
Omg. omg. omg. I can’t say enough about this bronzer. It’s made with clean ingredients, glowy, and gives the most natural, bronzy look. It gives exactly what it needs to. Worth every penny as someone who once struggled with bronzer patching off or lo...
Talc Free Power Sculpt Velvet Bronzer
This bronze balm literally seeps into your skin… When I put this on I look so glowy and bronzy that I could confuse it for a real tan. This, combined with the rest of the Merit line gives the most amazing natural makeup look. 100% recommend.
Bronze Balm
Lashes/ eyes
Ilia mascara makes it hard to believe this is a clean, natural product. BEAUTIFUL and long-lasting results without the compromise of toxic ingredients near your eyes. Huge win for the mascara game.
Limitless Lash Mascara - Best Clean Lengthening ...
I will die on the hill that the Sephora Collection is slept on. Everything is made using clean ingredients, works so well & is SO fairly priced. I have this mascara from the Ulta advent calendar & love it. Volumizing & even comes in brown...
SEPHORA COLLECTION Size Up Volumizing Mascara
I love Kosas for all eye makeup. I value clean ingredients for anything going on my face, but ESPECIALLY something near my eyes. Their eyeliner goes on so smoothly and comes in so many shades to compliment all different eye colors.
Clean Eye Makeup
Ilia wins for clean beauty eye makeup. This palette is perfect for someone who likes neutrals and comes with some shimmer for a little something extra. Both the ingredients and packaging are clean/ environmentally friendly. Yes please
Eyeshadow
Extras
Brows, freckles, and other makeup “accessories”!
I’m in love with this for a natural, fluffy brow look. I like my brows tame and these keep them in place all day. The small applicator helps with precise brush strokes, too.

The best fake freckles I have ever used. LOVE for a natural makeup look or a full beat.

Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder | ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again… Sephora brand is SO slept on. It’s inexpensive, uses clean ingredients and most importantly, WORKS! I’d use their entire line if I was on a budget and wasn’t so hooked on other products. Sephora brand is in my...

Hydro Grip Hydrating Setting Spray
Lips
I had to get a bigger purse to fit everything on this list in there at all times…
This one’s obvious. Pink sugar for a sweet day time shine, mint for refreshing bed time moisturizer, and vanilla beige for night time dimensional look. Gives shiny & moisturized without being sticky. Need!!!

These are everything. Creamy, natural looking, long lasting. Every shade is unreal.. I can’t even decide which is my favorite. Just try them all
Hotliner
Okay hear me out… Trader Joes lip mask is actually more hydrating than any product I’ve gotten at another beauty store. For $7… That’s all.
Vanilla Lip Mask
Saie lip liner and gloss oil combo… This has been a staple lip combo for nights out. Does not move & looks so hydrating. The shade Tease is the perfect deep, nighttime shade. Trust.
Lip Liner 101 | High-Shine Hydrating Lip Gloss Oil
Sephora brand lip mask is where its at. I find this better & longer lasting than… some other brand lip masks. Cherry is my favorite flavor and for under $10, you really can’t beat it.
Overnight Lip Mask
Brushes/ Applicators
Merit brushes are the best!! If you have any Merit products their brushes are the icing on the cake for a flawless application.
Brush No. 2
I love this for blending the Merit bronzing stick, complexion stick and blush balm. Blends the product seamlessly and is made of natural fibers. Also love the aesthetic!
Brush No.1
Beauty blenders will forever be a staple in flawless, dewy makeup. Dampen it for a more seamless blend- I forget what doing makeup was like before this applicator. Try out different sizes too for different focal areas!
Beauty Blender
Sigma brushes are amazing and great value for the entire set. They have every size you’d need from base to eyes. Can’t say enough about these brushes.. they are life changing. Once you try you’ll never go back
