My go to second step, its sheer and easy to blend and doesn't feel too greasy under makeup. It also doesn't have a harsh, chemical scent if that is important to you, very neutral scent!!
Supergoop! Sheerscreen Facial Suncreen

definitely my first step daily, it's a little thinner but it helps with massaging it in. Great especially for the face, I always use it first thing in the morning before makeup, and before bed!
Daily Moisturizing Lotion - CeraVe

so smooth and easy for makeup removal, works really well on waterproof products. a great benefit is how it pulls out the products driven into the pores, 10/10
Deep Cleansing Oil Facial Cleanser - DHC
 
Catherine Hampe profile picture
Absolute best. Not harsh in any way and unlike the other Garnier makeup removers (slide 2+3), the vitamin C remover doesn't leave a greasy feeling or teary eyes that you feel from other oily cleansers. 10/10 have repurchased 4 times.
Micellar Cleansing Water with Vitamin C - Garnier

My life and soul for keeping my face hydrated especially around the eyes, lips, and nose. Great for slugging when looking to clear up acne. Incredibly useful during the winter/dry season as it provides extreme hydration. Gentle on the skin and lovely...

a popular product, but definitely for a reason. this primer is perfect for keeping your base in place, a big essential for my dance shows, keeps the makeup on through the sweat
Power Grip Primer - e.l.f. Cosmetics

perfect and so easy to blend, especially with a dense face brush. i love shades Tahiti and Caribbean since i have a warmer skin tone, but the shade range does well for many undertones!!
Putty Blush - e.l.f. Cosmetics
 
Catherine Hampe profile picture
another great cream blush, more affordable and long lasting. the wide shade range is suitable for many skin tones and undertones as the formula is sheer rather than white based. easily meltable formula so it can be blended by hand easier than the e.l...

very blurring, especially for the undereyes and smile lines, i loved it for my dance shows. also comes in smaller sizes easy for travel, with an included puff!

One of my favorites, great separation with this mascara, no clumping if thats not the look you're looking for. Great for the bottom lashes in combo with the Tarte Tartelette.
Telescopic Original Mascara - L'Oréal
 
Catherine Hampe profile picture
Compact and very defining. The formula is a bit thicker so it builds well, to some may be too clumpy. Very deep black and striking on the eyes.

Gorgeous finish and great definition for my hair. I have thinner hair and the product doesn't feel to heavy and doesn't rid me of my texture. Pretty affordable for this product range, one of the mid-price on this list !

Great affordable option and it doesn't disappoint. This would be my equal to the Aussie mousse, very lightweight feeling but holds in texture very well!
