Prep
Mix this with a couple drops of centella essence for a primer like layer
Vanicream Moisturizer
Mix a couple of drops with your moisturizer and let it set before applying any makeup products! Skincare prep is so important for a perfect base!
Mixsoon Centella Asiatica Essence 100ml
I don't use a primer since most of them make my makeup pill and splotchy, I do a couple of sprays of this before my foundation and after liquid makeup (but before powder) to set it.
E.L.F. Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray
Eyebrows
Hair gel?! YES. I have unruly brows and makeup brow gels never keep my brows in place. This works so well and does not cause breakouts or rashes on my sensitive skin!
Glued Styling Spiking Glue Mini - Got 2b | Ulta Beauty
I apply the TINIEST amount of got2b gel on the spoolie end of this brush, let the gel set, then go in with a bit of brow shadow with the brush end.

Skin
I alternate between two foundations. I use the shade N5 on a more casual day. It's a good drugstore dupe for the Haus Labs foundation.
True Match Super-Blendable Foundation - L'Oréal Paris
Since this is a pricier foundation, I use it sparingly. It has a beautiful, glowy, and skin like finish. It is very buildable.
Haus Labs triclone™ skin tech medium coverage foundation
As long as I set it with a light powder, this concealer lasts me all day and does not crease. It's a great affordable concealer! It has a thicker, medium-full coverage consistency.

The shade Nude Kiss gives you such a beautiful sun kissed look! This cream blush is light and buildable, and doesn't clog my pores.

A great consistency, and buildable! Many shades to choose from.

I love this dense brush to apply foundation on my skin.
r.e.m. Beauty by Ariana Grande - F1 FOUNDATION BRUSH
These sponges blend out any harsh lines left from contour or concealer so beautifully. I find it makes your makeup look less cakey when you blend it out with this sponge.
Miracle Complexion Makeup Sponge Duo - Real Techniques | Ulta Beauty
I have had this brush for years. It is great for a light dusting of powder all over the face to set.
e.l.f. Total Face Brush
I like applying my cream blush with this brush!
e.l.f. Ultimate Blending Brush
Set
This is great dupe for the One Size setting spray. It does feel like hairspray on your face but it really holds your makeup down longer.
L'Oreal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray Mist, Microfine Mist for up to ...
I have been using this powder for a few years. It lasts forever! I have yet to try another loose powder to compare it to, but it works well to bake or lightly dust powder on your face for a more matte finish.
Translucent Translucent Loose Setting Powder - Laura Mercier | Ulta Beauty
So affordable! Works great as a bright under eye compact setting powder.
Brighten Up! Banana Powder - Essence | Ulta Beauty
I love these little puffs to set my under eyes and the oily zones on my face.
