The only primer I use. It smells amazing and it goes on smooth with no pilling. No white cast either! A little goes a long way so this always last me a good while.
Priming Moisturizer Balance Oil-Control Gel-Cream
This my go to concealer! It covers so much including my redness and large pores in certain areas of my cheeks. A little goes a long way and this tube lasts me a very long time. I’ve been using it for years and my skin never breaks out from it.
Boo-Boo Cover-Up Healing Concealer, Medium
It’s been years since I’ve ditched foundation and gone bare face but for the past couple months I’ve been wearing this tinted moisturizer. Even though I lean more oily skinned, this gives me the perfect sun-kissed look without looking like an oily me...
Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30
I’d never used a setting spray until recently and tried so many different ones. This is the only one that I actually loved and saw results! It’s a light fresh scent and feels so good on the skin.
Travel Size Life Lock Hydrating Setting Spray - Tarte | Ulta Beauty
My one and only setting powder. There’s no white cast at all which is a problem with so many setting powders. It goes on so smooth and feels so silky!
Translucent Loose Longwear Setting Powder
When heading out to a special event such as a wedding, I bust out my fancy makeup. I’ve had problems with concealers making me look dead (no joke 😂) but this one is probably one of the few that I just love. It’s long lasting, especially for my oily ...
3N Double Wear Stay-in-Place 24-Hour Concealer - Estée Lauder | Ulta Beauty
I rarely use foundation anymore but when I need to for fancier events or days/nights out, this is the foundation I use. A little goes a long way and the coverage is phenomenal. My face feels fresh and lightweight which is super important to me. I don...

Lips
Top products that I use when heading out the door.
I love that it’s just slightly tinted to give your lips some color. Smells amazing and it’s not sticky. 🫦 My fave colors are Creme Brûlée for fall and Strawberry Sorbet for summer!

I don’t think I’ve ever loved a lip balm more than this one. They smell SO good and just glide on. Not sticky and lasts a good time. Mango + Coconut are my faves!
Balm Dotcom Lip Balm and Skin Salve - Glossier | Sephora
I think I’ve used MAC lipsticks since I was in high school and I still love them. My fave line is the sleek satin because glide on so smooth and last so long even through eating and drinking! My go to shade for the fall is Crème In Your Coffee.
Crème In Your Coffee M·A·Cximal Sleek Satin Lipstick - MAC | Ulta Beauty
My daughter actually got me hooked on this lip balm and I love how it smells. It glides in smooth and gives a nice touch of color without that lipstick feel.
Lip Butter Balm - Summer Fridays | Sephora
Cheeks
I’m not going to lie when I tried this the first time, it was a hot mess. That’s because it was my first time experimenting with liquid blush and added way too much. Now that I’ve learned the technique to it, I love it!! This is my fave shade that gi...
Satin Buffed Rose Satin Blush Tape Liquid Blush - Tarte | Ulta Beauty
I’m not much of a bronzer user but i found myself reaching for this a lot this summer for a minimal makeup sun-kissed look.
Soft Bronze Sculpt Tape Contour - Tarte | Ulta Beauty
I love using this blush for a light touch of color on my cheeks. It’s buildable but I like that it’s not super tinted right off the bat. Paaarty is my fave color.
Paaarty Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush - Tarte | Ulta Beauty
Eyes
Literally the only eye primer I’ve used for years. I have oily eyelids and this is the only thing that works for me.
Original Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Urban Decay Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
When it comes to mascara I keep it pretty simple. This is my go to mascara that lengthens and darkens my lashes to where they actually exist. 😂
