Hourglass Concealer is more on the matte, full-coverage side. It’s a bit drier, but perfect for a soft glam look when you want everything smooth, snatched, and long-lasting

Patrick Ta Blush Duo is a two-in-one must. Perfect for building your base with the cream first, then layering the powder on top for extra depth and longevity. I LOVE this blush
Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo
These pocket blushes are very petite you don’t get a lot of product for the price, but they are super lightweight which I actually love. They give a natural, sheer flush that looks soft and effortless.

Eyebrows
My eyebrows are THICK so these products work for my brows without flaking throughout the day
Refy Brow Sculpt keeps my thick eyebrows locked in place they don’t move at all. The formula is flexible while applying, so you can shape and adjust before it sets
Brow Sculpt Eyebrow Gel | Clear Brow Gel | 12 Hour Hold
Rare Beauty locks in place pretty quickly during application, but once it’s set, it’s SET. I do wish it came in a bigger bottle and with a different applicator, but honestly it’s still a must-buy
Brow Harmony Flexible Lifting Gel
Mascara
