I wish I knew how to “beat my face”, but unfortunately I lack the skill- so here is my very basic list of items that I use to make it look like I made an effort.

Skincare
I used this as my moisturizer and it was so nice. Doesn’t leave you feeling oily.
Nourished & Radiant Even Tone Serum
Ok, so maybe this one isn’t so budget friendly, but this made my skin feel plump and refreshed. You can go without, but if you’re looking to up your skincare, this is it.
The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum
Off brand doesn’t mean it doesn’t work!
Equate Facial Cleansers(84)
Eyes
The way this doesn't budge at all. It's not too expensive and it's long lasting.
Epic Ink Waterproof Liquid Liner | NYX Professional Makeup
It doesn’t give me raccoon eyes! It’s not a million dollars, and it lasts a while.
Lash XTNDR Mascara
Another splurge, but these last forever! SPECIFICALLY Space Cowboy 🩷 You will not believe the glitter. It's a soft glitter that doesn't leave large specks on your lids. It's so girly.
Shop 24/7 Moondust Glitter Eyeshadow Singles
Ok,ouch $25? Yes, buuuut, I’ve had mine since 2020 and it hasn’t dried up yet! (Let’s not get into whether that’s sanitary or not) Get this in brown or black, but I like the brown. It's more subtle and less harsh.
Tattoo Liner Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner
Go with brown to tone down the liner and you’ll look more natural. Last time I bought this it was about a dollar.
Color Icon Kohl Liner Pencil | Simma Brown Now!
Face
They're not only a beauty blender brand. They have some of the BEST foundation I've ever tried. It never goes on dry or cakey, and it just blends into my skin for medium coverage.
Bounce™ 12-Hour Always On Radiant Skin Tint
My favorite blush! It's creamy and it has tons of product.
Shop 25/8 | Cream Blush Stick by ColourPop®
This gives a very natural long lasting look. It's a little hard to blend, but when you get it right, it's beautiful.
Blurring Serum Blush
This smells amazing, and just like the name says, it applies like butter, even though it's a powder.
Murumuru Butter Bronzer
Lips
Dupe alert! I love Lord of the Rings and I've heard this is a dupe for the lip stick that Liv Tyler wears in the movies. It's also super moisturizing.
Tinted Lip Balm
Plumps your lips without the pain. I also love the color and feel of this gloss.
Lip Plumping Gloss
Brows
Creamy and pigmented! This helps with filling in your brows, and it helps shape them too! This pot will last a lifetime. I’m not even kidding. I’ve had this for 3+ years and it hasn’t dried out.
POWmade Brow Pomade | BenefitCosmetics.com
For some extra shaping, add some elf soap brow. It really holds all day, without leaving a film.
Soap Brow
This is definitely a budget item! And I love it. It doesn’t leave my brows ✨crispy, but they stay in place.
Mega Clear Brow & Lash Mascara
Hair
This helps my frizzy hair so much. A little goes a long way and it smells great.
