Start by cleansing the skin. If you’re starting with a dirty base, you won’t be able to get the look you want to achieve! This is great for sensitive skin and it’s affordable!

This foundation is light on the skin, but has buildable coverage. It’s also acne safe so this is for all my acne prone skinned girlies!

If you want to look sun-kissed, look no further. This is so affordable, but lasts FOREVER. The pigment is insane and it blends seamlessly.

I use this mascara for volume and definition! It does transfer so if you need something to last all night, i’d stay away from this.

I love this to add a pop of color and shine to the lid when I don’t do eyeshadow. This is so multifunctional and can be used as a highlighter too. This is for my girls who aren’t the best with eyeshadow, or who don’t like to wear lots of eyeshadow!
