PRIMERS
Super moisturizing, thick, and helps minimize pores when applying makeup!
Vitamin Enriched Face Base Moisturizer & Primer
Pairs wonderfully with either the Bobbi Brown or Danessa Myricks primers. Those moisturize and minimize pores, Milk makes the look last ✨
On the pricier side but worth it if ya got it!
Hydro Grip Hydrating Face Primer
Currently trending and worth the hype!! Pores literally evaporate into thin air with this primer. Must buy!!!
Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder
Another lovely pore mattifying primer. Pretty good and pairs well with the milk grip primer of course. I use this mostly when I run out of my Bobbi Brown or my Danessa Myricks. Not a must have but an if you want lol
Pore Eclipse Mattifying + Blurring Makeup Primer
My fave drug store primer!! A dupe for the Milk Grip primer. Wayyyyy cheaper but just as lovely.
Power Grip Primer
Another drug store fave. If the other pore minimizing primers are out of the budget this is another great alternative.
Poreless Putty Primer
CONCEALERS
Starting off strong (and pricey) with this Dior concealer. One of my very first lux makeup purchases and soooo worth it. You don’t even need foundation with this concealer in my opinion. Super nice medium/heavy coverage and the shade match for me is ...
Dior Backstage Flash Perfector Concealer
Man. Genuinely THEEEEEEEE best concealer on the market rn IN MY OPINION. So good, exact shade match for my skin, medium to heavy coverage, and just perfect idk lol. A little will go a long way with this concealer.
Triclone™ Skin Tech Concealer
Another very great concealer. Gets the job done. I’ve only used this one maybe a few times but my friends love it.
Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer | 16 Hour Wear
I love this concealer for my bright under eye looks. Outside of that, this wouldn’t be my first choice for everyday concealer or for anything other than brightening tbh. Definitely full coverage
Under Eye Concealer Makeup
Nooottttt my fave but again, I know people who love it. I have a weird yellowish/red(???) undertone so it’s hard for me to find a concealer for me that works in their line. They tend to mostly work for orange and redder undertones.
Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Concealer
Halo glow isn’t necessarily a concealer butttt it can make your concealer look super slay and dewy when worn underneath. Super affordable and can honestly be an everyday product if you prefer a light look that’s barely there but still elevates.
Halo Glow Liquid Filter Complexion Booster
Another drug store find. Not my fave tbh? There are probably better drugstore concealers. I bought it for my bright under eye and it works pretty well but it’s super heavy. PLUS the applicator is huge lol. A little goes a long way
16-Hour Camo Full Coverage Concealer
FOUNDATIONS
Unfortunately this is the only foundation i’ll be adding because i will never need another foundation ever again. Seriously. Skin match is like they cloned me at birth. A little goes a long way and I foresee me having this same bottle for the next de...
Complexion Enhancing Foundation and Powder
BRONZERS
Love love love. I’m not a heavy bronze girly but she gets the job done and she does it well.
Match Stix Contour Skinstick — Amber
Love for when I’m setting my face. BE CAREFUL this stuff is pigmented. You will go from light beat to burnt beat extremely quick.
Made For Shade Bronze & Sculpt Trio
BLUSHES
Worth the hype!!! Anything Juvia’s Place is amazing lol. Blush is super pigmented so be light. Liquid and powder blush are worth the purchase.
Blush Palette | Powder Blush
Super cute drug store pink blush. I use this every time I do my makeup. I’ve been adding orange eyeshadow to the blush recently and that’s my fave combo rn
Blush Makeup
LIPPIES!
LOVE this plumper. I have smaller lips and it does wonders for me. I put it on before my actual lip combo even though I could really just use it as the combo by itself.
Lip Injection Extreme Lip Plumper
Gorgeous lip glosses. The one on the right is my absolute fave. The shade is pale nectar fire. It’s like a sparkly reddish pink I’d say 😁 2nd pic is me with it on. very pretty color
LIP GLOSS
The only lipliner I’ll ever use. People like nyx but I’ll pass. Could never switch on my baby chestnut!
MAC Lip Pencil | Whirl, Nightmoth, Cork, Chestnut & Spice Lip Liners
TOOLS
Great brushes. You can find them at tjmaxx, marshalls, ross, target, walmart, literally everywhere. Pretty affordable
All Makeup Brushes & Sets
These are not as cheap as real technique brushes but a great set of brushes nonetheless.
Foundation, Eyeshadow, & Contour Brushes
You’re gonna need to hold that hair back hon.
Creaseless Clip Set - Credo Beauty
For setting and baking :)
Powder Puff
BAKE N SET
I love this setting powder. Just sets everything in and just…muah chefs kiss. Very necessary addition to your makeup routine
Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder
One size setting powder is another necessary addition to your makeup routine. I bought this because i love huda but it’s tooo white for my skin. My one size powder has a tint so its perfect for my under eye
Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder | ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr
This plus the one size setting spray? Flawless makeup all night. This is for moisture/dewy-ness and one size locks it all in.
Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray: Hydrating Waterproof Setting ...
Can be used with the charlotte tilbury spray for maximum protection or alone for a matte makeup vibe
On 'Til Dawn Setting Spray | ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr
forgot which spray this is a dupe of but this is a drugstore alternative!
Makeup Setting Spray and Facial Mist
Good alternative for one size. Locks in the beat but can be used alone for a matte finish.
Makeup Setting Sprays | Morphe US
MASCARA & BROWS
I love this mascara. Adds sooo much volume. Not the best for length. My only con is looking like a raccoon at the end of the day. But that’s with any mascara for me
Hella Thicc Volumizing Mascara
Great for length. Not too much for volume as you can tell by the applicator. Pro is it comes off easily bc its tubing mascara
tartelette™ XL tubing mascara
Only eyebrow pencil you will need ever. Super precise and easy to draw with
Micro Brow Dual-Ended Pencil & Spoolie
Drugstore morphe eyebrow pencil. Thats all
Easy Brow Pencil
I have very sparse and thin brows so I do my brows on the daily. This is a big help on days when my eyebrows need to be shaped up but I can’t get to my eyebrow lady.
