EcoTools Makeup Brush Cleansing Pad, 1 Count
Prep
Love this primer so much, usually I try to avoid products with Niacinamide but this is one of the few grippy serums that doesn’t leave a weird texture on my face and the first niacinamide serum that doesn’t break me out
$12 - Maybelline Grippy Serum - hydrating primer
Face
The only foundation that doesn’t separate on my skin! Doesn’t matter what products I layer over or under, she always does the job perfectly. I’m shade F2 Olive
$25 - about•face THE PERFORMER Skin-Focused Foundation
Beautiful and not orangey while making me look bronzed. My shade is Beach Goth and I’m in love with it
$20 - about•face - BEACH FREAK BRONZER STICK
The shade I use is Betabel. Gives me that soft / romantic goth look. I apply it high on the cheeks and if I want to look extra sultry I like to run it along my water line. A lot of people say it’s a dupe for film noir by MAC but I disagree
$11 - bissu - POWDER BLUSH
I use the shade toasted for my forehead, cheekbones, and nose. Anywhere I want definition but natural light would still hit my face
$28 - MILK MAKEUP - Sculpt Cream Contour Stick
I use this to contour my jawline and the bridge of my nose leading to my brow bone. Anywhere I want to create true shadow with no warmth, I use this. My shade is 01 Fair to Light
$16 - Cream Contour Stick - SEPHORA COLLECTION
My favorite concealer! So much product comes in the tube and it’s buildable!
I Am Magic Concealer for Dark to Light Skin
My go to for super natural, barely there makeup
Buttermelt Glaze Soft Glow Skin Tint SPF 30
Lips
If this is the only product you buy from this list then we will both be more than satisfied. Truly the best lip balm I’ve ever used. I bought all three scents but vanilla date is the star of the show. Everyone I have gifted this to / used around rave...
Vanilla Date Argan Butter Lip Balm
Berry is my color of choice but this is a product I didn’t know would change my perspective on SPF makeup. Mineral sun protection for eyes, lips, and cheeks. The formula seems a little chalky at first but blends beautifully when applied to your skin
Sunforgettable® Total Protection® Color Balm SPF 50
A cult favorite for a reason
Black Honey Collection: Lipstick, Gloss & More
Eyes
This is an easy repurchase for me! Formulated for sensitive eyes it’s a tubing mascara AND a peptide free lash serum! $59 for one tube but it lasts me 3 months with daily wear and usually I would have to pay 2x that amount for just a lash serum
Total Lash® Serum Mascara
Setting
I use this super bright white setting powder in the very corners of my undereye and below my cheek contour, and the pink for the rest of my undereye (I place my blush high)
I AM MAGIC SILKY FINISHING POWDER (TALC FREE)
I use this liberally over all my cream / liquid products before I go in with powder products.
Bake & Set Soft Focus Setting Powder - Translucent
Super fine mist! I like using this after setting with powders and on eyeshadow brushes I’m using to apply glitter/shimmer
Makeup Setting Sprays | Morphe US
The best setting spray. I use it to finish my makeup off and I love their variations of the original too (watermelon, vitamin c, etc)
