Primers/Moisturizers, before foundation!
I don't always wear primers, but when I do I always choose these goodies.
A classic primer for a reason! This formula instantly hydrates my skin as a moisturizer and is excellent prep as a primer. A little bit goes a long way!
BOBBI BROWN - Vitamin Enriched Face Base Moisturizer & Primer with Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Acid
I love love love how this feels on my skin. It's a moisturizer that can act as a primer. The formula feels lightweight and soothes irritated skin over time after using it consistently!
MAC Cosmetics - Hyper Real Skincanvas Balm Moisturizing Cream
I've owned this moisturizer more than once and have found myself consitently going back. This is a hydrating moisturizer that can be used underneath you makeup, I like using it as a primer! Let this product dry and don't apply too much if you plan on...
Clinique - Moisture Surge Hydrator Gel Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid
Concealer to brighten and clean up!
There's only two concealers I love using for my makeup looks. When I want it more thick and HD, I use the HausLabs concealer. When I want a more hydrated softer look, I use the Kosas concealer.
I love using this concealer to clean up my face after applying my contour and blush! Excellent coverage and my all time favorite! Feels thick but has a lightweight feel to the skin.
HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-puffing ...
This concealer is fabulous for a hydrated base look. I also like to use it clean up the edges of my makeup to look snatched.
Kosas - Brightening Concealer and
My Absolute Favorite Foundations
I've gone through several foundations, so here are some of my favorite ones I like to rotate through!
A hydrating, medium to full coverage foundation. It contains hyaluronic acid to help avoid dryness and SPF for sun protection. The base is long lasting and I've already bought my second one a shade lighter for winter.
Lancôme - Teint Idole Ultra Wear Care & Glow Serum Foundation
Affordable dupe for my favorite hylauronic lancôme foundation.
L'Oreal True Match Nude Hyaluronic Serum
This is a sweatproof foundation for my girlies that get sweaty or are under a lot of lights during the day/night.
Urban Decay - Face Bond Self Setting Waterproof Foundation
This is a good option for a base with SPF that is very light on the skin! A softer, lighter alternative to my Lancôme foundation.
Milk Makeup - Skin Tint Foundation
Want Glowy Skin? - Use an Illuminizer
These liquid illuminizers bring a beautiful glow to my skin and I love these formulas! You can use them with your fingers or mix into your foundation for an ultimate glow!
What I love about the fluid sheers is the instant glow added to your skin. I suggest either mixing it with your foundation for ultimate glowy skin.
Armani Beauty - Fluid Sheer Glow Enhancer Highlighter
These illuminizers by Saie are so lightweight. It feels like a very thin layer on the skin. The reflection of the highlight is soft and not intense.
Saie - Glowy Super Gel Lightweight Illuminating Serum
Sprays for during, and after makeup
I love using these sprays during my makeup routine so the products can sit in my skin better and look more alive!
This setting spray is well known for a reason! I love spraying this after I've applied my cream/ liquid products before foundation. I spray this several times in between makeup steps to maximize the effects of the product.
Urban Decay - All Nighter Waterproof Natural Finish Setting Spray with 24HR Wear
I like using this one when I want to mattify my makeup looks! It tightens the look of the makeup and leaves a smooth, blurring finish.
Urban Decay - All Nighter Waterproof Matte Setting Spray
I am so serious when I say this spray locks my makeup. I like using this as a final spray on my t-zone and areas that I sweat the most, like around my nose and mouth area. The product feels like hair spray and the smell is not pleasant, so use it car...
