foundation
I’ve mentioned her before but she’s just so good! she’s a little more light weight than the actrice and has a light medium coverage but it’s totally buildable. Only like $8. Also has some skin loving ingredients which is always a plus!
Bare Focus Niacinamide Skin Tint | Rosy Light
This has been a tried and true for almost a decade y’all! she’s medium buildable coverage and she’s just never done me wrong. She used to get me through my fast food working days standing over the friers and she would NOT budge! they’ve added niacina...
HD Liquid Coverage Foundation
concealer
She’s been called a dupe for the Nars light reflecting concealer for years but let me just say i’ve always preferred this formula. She’s a little less dry feeling than the nars which helps her to not look crepey under the eyes. I’d mostly recommend f...
Fit Me® Oil-Free Concealer Face Makeup
such a beautifully formulated product. If you like the tower 28 concealer or have wanted to try it but don’t wanna splurge then this is a decently close formula. It’s gonna have that same serum like consistency that’s gonna be super easy to blend and...
Bare With Me Concealer Serum | NYX Professional Makeup
bronzer/contour
She used to be so talked about and she kinda fell out of the spotlight but to this day it’s still a great buttery formula. She smells like coconut which is just a little fun add on lol but she’s super blendable and won’t give you any harsh lines or p...
Murumuru Butter Bronzer
For my girlies that love their cream products! this is such a nice and buttery formula, i’ve never had her go patchy on me and she’s so easy to work with and blend out. $14 but she’ll last you so long.
Cheek Kiss Cream Bronzer
now this one i haven’t heard anyone talk about but as someone who is crazy pale it’s so hard to find true contour products on the market. BUT THIS!!! the formula is so nice, she’s pretty pigmented so id be a little conservative with it to start. BUT ...
Contour Envy Contour Wand
now sephora is not considered drugstore(obviously) but their brand products are actually very affordable and Super good quality. Their contour powder is a true contour, none of the shade pull super warm so it gives you that perfect shadow like sculpt...
SEPHORA COLLECTION Sephora Colorful® Contour Matte Powder
blush
a tried and true!!! baked products are just so nice and for some reason weirdly underrated? i just feel like i never hear anyone rave about baked powder products? idk lol but this formula is so smooth and blendable but also buildable, it has a slight...
Baked Blush
Juvias place blushes (and all their products) are just so beautiful! and i love to support a black owned business!!! (HAPPY BHM!) now these shades are PIGMENTED so a little goes a long way but they’re so good and vibrant. they’re $20 but you get 2 sh...

The Cheek Of It Liquid Blush

extreme shine lipgloss
brows
i’m a brow pen girl, they just feel a lot easier to blend out but it’s definitely a learning curve to get used to if you’re used to a pencil or pomade formula. i like how precise you can be with the tip of the pen but you can also blend it out to giv...
