Skin scare 😩
I have combination skin (oily t-zone and dry everything else) so these are the products I use under my base so it gives me a good start.
Now, I was a makeup wipes kinda girl all my life, but I realized that they were actually super drying to my skin! I wanted to try a cleansing balm because I heard they were super good for your skin, but i didn't know which one, so i went into ulta an...
Instant Cleansing Balm - Good Molecules
This moisturizer is meant for dry skin to normal skin, but it somehow works for my skin type. I tend to go in with a lighter hand and use a little bit and I feel hydrated all day. This is already a lightweight product so it really does help.
Hydrating Moisturizers for Skin - CeraVe

I recently bought this eye gel. Honestly speaking I have genetic eye bags and they are dark and deep. This gel has helped them a lot and when I apply my makeup my concealer blends out smoothly with no fine lines. Very cheap for how good it is!!
Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel - Good Molecules
I use this sunscreen as the last step in my skincare routine and before I start with my makeup. Because it is oil-free, it does not make me greasy and only adds shine to my face, making it look less dull.
Non-Greasy Sunscreen Lotions | NEUTROGENA®
Base!!
My base makeup products for a soft natural look even in a Texas heat kind of day.
I use the peach color corrector for my under eyes as i hereditary dark circles, and although this is a fairly cheap product, the amount of coverage in this is amazing. My under eyes are immediately brightened and the purple, disappears like it never ...
HD Pro.Conceal - L.A. Girl Cosmetics
This is a dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury contour wand! This concealer is super easy to blend and it is very pigmented. This is not a bronzer so it won't be shimmery but instead, it will give you a satin look. Wear this before adding your powder produ...
Conceal + Perfect Liquid Contour - Milani Cosmetics
This powder is a great, affordable option that sets your makeup well. I use this before I put on my setting powder for my under eyes so that my makeup doesn't move and stays fresh all night!
Can't Stop Won't Stop Mattifying Pressed Powder - NYX Cosmetics
This concealer, although medium coverage, a little goes a long way! I will say it is more on the thicker side of things so no need for foundation when wearing it for a soft look. Perfect for covering dark spots and eye bags.
Concealer - Cruelty-Free | Medium to Full Coverage - Too Faced
I completely forgot to mention, this is the BEST dupe for the Anastasia brow gel. This makes my eyebrows stay in place all day long, and it does not leave a white cast on them. I would say i like a more fluffy look so i use less product but if you wa...

Best cream affordable blush in the market!! This blush stays on through regular day use, fun club nights, and even at the gym. The blush itself is very pigmented, blends smoothly, and does not feel heavy on the face.
Putty Cream Blush | e.l.f. Cosmetics
This powder is the best!! Yes, it's on the pricier side but investing in a good powder, really makes your makeup last!! This product does have a scent to it if you don't like that, but it is very lightweight and overall very finely milled. Does not m...
Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder - Sephora
This bronzer SMELLS SO GOOD!!! it has that chocolatey scent that Too Faced is associated with but for a much lower price. This bronzer comes in a variety of shades and not all of them have a shimmer to them. They are not overly powdery and have a nic...
Buttermelt Powder Bronzer | NYX Professional Makeup
the shade I bought from this blush is number 10, “Back and Butta,” and it is very much like a fall deep cherry shade. Using a light hand, this blush is very pigmented and highly blendable. i am obsessed and for the price, it will last you a long time...
Buttermelt High-Pigment Blush | NYX Professional Makeup
i realized the Anastasia mascara was good but, since my lashes are straight, it didn't lift them as i wanted to. so my friend recommended me this one and this was amazing. it keeps my lashes lifted all day and the volume and length i receive, i get c...
Diorshow Lash Extension Volume Waterproof - Mascara
This setting spray allows my makeup to set while still having a natural glow! Even in the Texas heat, even when i sweat my makeup will last me all day and i will still look very natural and glowy. I do tend to look shiny a bit because of the sweat bu...

This lip liner went viral on TikTok, so I had to try it. I use the shade espresso in this lip liner and it is SO worth it. The lip liner is very creamy and very pigmented.
NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Slim Lip Pencil, Long-Lasting ...
This lip crayon helps me create the perfect nude for my lips. My skin color is more on the brown side with yellow undertones. (actually I'm not really sure) SO every nude I find that I think is perfect for my skin tone ends up being a pink or just wa...
Color Balm - Lip & Cheek Stick
This foundation is more on the higher-end side but it is this foundation is perfect for a night out at the club. It has a luminous finish, and even though it is heavier, with a lighter hand you can achieve full face without feeling cakey.
Luminous Foundation | Anastasia Beverly Hills
This mascara adds an amazing volume to my lashes, it does tend to leave a few clumps on my lashes but with spoolie, I manage to fix that without removing the volume from my lashes. there is never any smudging from this mascara!
Mascara | Anastasia Beverly Hills
This Milani foundation is supposed to be a dupe for the Too-Faced concealer but it is a lot lighter. It is also a more affordable option if you don't want higher-end. This foundation does not feel thick but again a little goes a long way for a natura...
Foundation Collection - Milani Cosmetics
This mascara is amazing. i like using the non-waterproof, as i feel like it's easier and lighter for my eyelashes. It is great because it makes your eyelashes longer, lifts them, and keeps them lifted all day long.
