Usually in too much of a rush in the mornings to wear makeup every day, but when I do, these are my tried-and-true picks! I have oily skin, dark hair & eyes.

Lips
Got this in a Sephora birthday gift and love it! So glossy. I have the shade Rosewood Glow
MoistureGlow™ Plumping Lip Serum
Simple but — I put Aquaphor on my lips right after the shower, after washing my face, brushing my teeth. Haven’t had dry cracked lips in years. Tub is better than the tube because in higher temperatures it melts and the liquid will come out first…the...
Aquaphor Healing Ointment, Skin Protectant 14oz
Not glamorous and you get a little meh taste, but works!
Banana Boat Sport Ultra SPF 50 Lip Sunscreen 2 Pack
Looks so pretty on! I have shade Rose Envy. My complexion is on the fair side but it doesn’t look as pink/light as in the swatch example on the left (looks closer to the middle one). Has a minty scent which was unexpected but nice!
Glow Reviver Tinted Lip Oil
Face
I’m a fan of lighter coverage and have been using this as my base for years. Oily skin, so I use the matte one (black tube). It goes on really smooth and lasts.
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Blurred Matte SPF 30
Does what it says. Seems like they have a new look; I have the older version.
1.0 oz All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray - Urban Decay Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
Works well under makeup (works with the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer and Haus Labs foundation)
e.l.f. Power Grip Primer - Clear 0.811 fl oz
Has the most interesting texture! Super lightweight and spreads easily.
Mineral Mattescreen SPF 40
Eyes/Eyebrows
I saw makeup/beauty influencer @danielllestrada use this as an eyelid primer once and incorporated it into my routine! A little dot goes a long way
Maybelline Fit Me Liquid Concealer, Fair
A classic. Pretty much the only eyebrow product I use/will use.
NYX Micro Brow Pencil, Precise - Espresso
Elite eyeliner in an elite color. This was on my lids for most of my 20s.
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil - Uzi
Easy to apply, buildable. I have hooded eyelids and stink at doing eyeshadow so I really like this!
Brilliant Eye Brightener™
Nails
So easy, have gone through a bunch of these. It can take a minute to find the right sizing for each nail but I took a pic with them all laid out it’s available for future packs. Great for special occasions, if you’re low on time and can’t make it to ...
KISS imPRESS No Glue Press On Nails, Red Velvet, Short Squoval, 30 Nails
Also a good option for press ons without nail glue, but took me longer to do than the Kiss Impress nails. Looked natural!
Olive & June Classic Super Stick Press On Nails
Tools
First used one of these in a cushion foundation and really liked how it applied. I now buy them to use with other liquid foundations, using small patting motions to apply.
MOHOPE 8Pcs Air Cushion Makeup Sponges with Box
Use these to pat in loose powder, specifically under the eyes.
