Base - Foundations

These are the foundations I love the most! They all feel slightly different, but ultimately I love all of these for different reasons.

I like to call this base my second skin. It’s breathable, buildable and has excellent coverage. Perfect for everyday or a special occasion.

Lancôme - Teint Idole Ultra Wear Care & Glow Foundation with Hyaluronic Acid

An affordable option for a soft, yet hydrating skin finish. I would say this formula is a little heavy compared to my others.

L'oreal - True Match Hyaluronic Tinted Serum

This foundation is buildable with matifying coverage. I like to use a shade lighter than my skin tone and I love how my makeup looks once everything is finished! This would be best paired with a matte setting spray.

Urban Decay - Face Bond Self Setting Waterproof Foundation

Concealers

These are the two concealers I love using for my makeup! Haus Labs is the best concealer for a thick, yet lightweight finish on the skin. Kosas is a perfect concealer for a hydrating and brightening makeup look!

The only concealer you need to conceal any details on your skin. Perfect for below or on top of your base.

Haus Labs - Skin Tech Concealer

This concealer is best for buildable coverage. Both the concealer and color corrector have hydrating formulas.

Kosas - Concealer

I love an angled concealer brush to help pat the product onto my undereyes!

IT Cosmetics - Airbrush Angled Concealer Brush #148

Eyebrow Products

A few of my favorite products for a clean eyebrow look! I like to use the Gel Freeze by ABH and then the “lift & snatch” by NYX to create realistic eyebrow hair. If I don't want to do extra work, I'll use the NYX Micro Brow Pencil on its own!

I like to use this product for a feathered brow look.

Anastasia Beverly Hills - Brow Freeze Gel

My holy grail eyebrow pencil. I love how thin the pencil is and the shade range. I use the darkest shade and the two before it to change up the intensity of my eyebrows.

NYX Professional Makeup | Micro Brow Eyebrow Pencil

I lovee using this eyebrow pen to create a fuller, feathered brow.

NYX Makeup - Lift & Snatch Eyebrow Tint Pen

Contour Sticks

These contours are truly cool-toned and creamy on the skin, especially to blend with a brush. Each product adds so much dimension to my face that I almost look chiseled out. It's a perfect method to use under my foundation, so I don't look super flat...

The perfect, creamy contour stick to bring definition to the contours of your face. My personal favorite is the lightest shade!

Haus Labs - PRECISION SCULPT Contour Stick

An affordable cool toned contour stick by the Sephora Collection. I would't blend this too harshly because it can peel a bit. If you don't want to apply it directly to your skin, I would tap the product with a brush and then lightly apply that brush ...

Sephora Collection - Contour Sticks

This says it's used for liquid foundation, but I love using this to bronze and contour my face! Once I've applied the contour, I tap it into my skin with my brush in an upwards motion.

Real Techniques - Expert Face Liquid and Cream Foundation Makeup Brush

Eyeshadow Products

These are the eyeshadow products I utilize when creating cool - toned makeup looks! If I don't use a concealer before eyeshadow then I use a fluid eye paint by aboutface and then go in with powder eyeshadow.

A perfect set of neutral cool eyeshadows for an everday grungey makeup look. These do come out light, so I would use an eye paint or concealer before applying to the eyes.

Urban Decay - Naked2 Basics Matte Neutral Eyeshadow Palette

Don't underestimate a black liquid eyeshadow, especially under a powder eyeshadow! This shade, Art of Darkness, helps keep the pigment of my eyeshadow looks stay on.

aboutface - Matte Fluid Eye Paint

I love using this shade, Hidden Garden, to lock in my grey grungey eyeshadow looks. This can be appied directly with the brush it comes with.

aboutface - Matte Fluid Eye Paint

Any eyeshadow single by the sephora collection I've used in my makeup has turned out fabulous. I love using their black eyeshadow for my grunge makeup looks.

Sephora Collection - Eyeshadow Single

Eyeliners

As someone who has used eyeliner for more than 10 years, here are my favorite eyeliners!

This is a true black eyeliner for the water line or a grungey cat eye. I love using this eyeliner to really emphazie my eye looks.

MAC - Feline Matte Eye Pencil

I love using the shade “kohl” for a greyish black eyeliner shade in my waterline.

Estee Lauder - Double Wear Infinite Waterproof Eyeliner

Cool Coyote by Urban Decay is a greige, green eyeliner that I love to wear when I'm not in the mood for a black or brown eyeliner look.

Urban Decay - Cool Coyote 24/7 Waterproof Waterline Eyeliner Pencil

Mascaras For Length & Volume

My go to mascaras for my grungey everyday makeup looks. These mascaras add excellent volume and length to my lashes.

The best mascara for long lasting, no fall out, lashes. They bring the absolute best out of what lashes you already have!

Tartelette - Tubing Mascara

A mascara that's perfect for curling your lashes and adding volume. I love how thick my lashes look after as well!

Urban Decay - Perversion Mascara

I love this mascara because it curls and lenghtens my lashes! It doesn't leave them super thick or clumpy which I love as well.

Tarte - Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara

Lipliners

Out of all the lipliners in the world, I choose these! The formulas for each of these are so fabulous and creamy.

These lipliners are the only ones I want on my lips for the rest of my life, seriously. Stone & Greige are my favorites.

MAC | Greige Lip Liner Pencil

This is a medium neutral nude lipliner that lasts a decent amount of time on the lips. I love this shade specifically and have gone through two pencils in a year!

NYX - Global Citizen Lipliner

Lipsticks

These are some cool-toned lipsticks that I constantly grab from my collection. I love a thick formula that lasts all day. I like to clean up the lipstick with my lipliner after applying my lip products.

The "Folio" lipstick is my go-to cool toned lipstick. I feel like a true grunge girly when I wear this!

MAC - Folio Lipstick

The "More Blonde" is my favorite affordable and lightweight matte lipstick.

Maybelline - More Blonde Ultimatte Slim Lipstick Makeup

Blush Goals

My collection of blush products I use when building up my grunge makeup looks. I love using cool nudes and pinks to bring some life to my face when my eyeshadow and lips are dark shades!

Only a few dots above the cheek bone are needed to give a soft blush glow on my makeup. I use this before and after applying my foundation.

Huda Beauty - Soft Pinch Liquid Blush

A beautiful cream to powder formula that gives an excellent glow on the cheeks. I like to use a cool shade for the blush and a deeper shade to act as a bronzer. If I could buy all of these I would!

MAC - Glow Play Cushiony Blush

Setting / Baking Powder

Yes, this is the only setting powder I use and I bought extras in different shades! The Sugar Cookie and Cherry Blossom are the shades I own! I switch shades depending if I want to be paler or warmer for my makeup.

Huda's powder keeps everything in place and mattifies my makeup. I use the shade Sugar Cookie, pictured in the first photo. I like to put this all over my face and finish off with my One/Size setting spray.

Huda Beauty - Easy Bake Baking & Setting Powder

When I'm using setting powder under my ears or under my contour/bronzer, I like to use this flat Powder Puff. Once I have podwer on the powder puff, I tap and spread it a bit on the back of my hand to avoid clumpy thick powder under my eyes and face.

Real Techniques - 2-In-1 Dual Sided Powder Puff

If I don't feel like using the powder puff, then I tap this brush into my Huda easy bake product, circle it into the back of hand to avoid cakeyness, and apply this powder all over my face!

e.l.f. Cosmetics -Pointed Powder Brush

Setting / Finishing Sprays

I like to use multiple setting sprays throughout my makeup steps to increase hydration and longevity. The Urban Decay Setting Sprays are amazing for layering makeup and adding hydration. My favorite finishing spray is the One/Size!

A setting spray that I love to use during my makeup steps, before and after foundation.

Urban Decay - All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray

This setting spray is no joke when it comes to keeping your makeup on! This makes my makeup last all day.

ONE/SIZE - On 'Til Dawn Setting Spray
