My top foundation recommendations for acne-prone, combo skin.
This stuff is AMAZING! I switched to it about a year ago and have been using it ever since. I don’t like the feel of foundation being too heavy or cakey and with this I can wear as little or as much as I want! I’ll keep rebuying until I find somethin...
2-3 Light True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum - L'Oréal
Great foundation! A little goes a long way and it has great coverage! More coverage than the L’Oréal skin tint but still not a heavy foundation feel. Available at Ulta!
Light CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ - IT Cosmetics
This one is a little on the pricey side but well worth the money. It wears beautifully and doesn’t settle into any fine lines and wrinkles. A lot of people use this for their special occasion foundation like for weddings or done-up events! Available ...
Luminous Silk Perfect Glow Flawless Oil-Free Foundation - Armani Beauty
• contour/bronzer 🪶🤎
Best contours and bronzers I have found that blend easily and don’t leave you looking muddy or orange.
I love the WonderStick! I remember using it in high school and I branched off to other brands and recently about a year ago decided to pick one up again and I fell in love all over again. Super super creamy, blends like a dream and the highlighter on...
NYX Professional Makeup Wonder Stick Cream Highlight & Contour Stick
So beautiful, so buttery. I’ve been using the butter bronzer for awhile now (years) and it never fails me. It also smells like coconuts & reminds me of the beach! 🏖️ Available at Ulta!
Physicians Formula - Bronzer Butter Bronzer Murumuru Butter Bronzer
I use this as a bronzer/contour. It does work really well to give a light sculpted look, or you can build up the product. I think Makeup by Mario has a video on how he applies it! Available at Sephora!
MAKEUP BY MARIO SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer
Super creamy and blends well! Available at Target!
Milani Cheek Kiss Cream Bronzer - 0.21oz
• blush 🌸
Best blushes that don’t look splotchy and have absolutely beautiful formulas!
I can’t rave about this blush enough!! It is so great. I got a sample size from Ulta with my purchase and I fell in love with it! It gives you this beautiful glowy-from-within look, almost sheen/sheer looking but has color payoff. It’s beautiful! I d...
Buff Maneater Blush & Glow Cheek Plump - Tarte
Milani has great blushes for the price! Beautifully pigmented and a great grab-&-go to add to your makeup bag. Available at Ulta!
Milani - Blush - 7 Products
I love a good Morphe product! They’re super affordable and the colors payoff nicely without being splotchy or uneven. Available at Ulta!
Blind Date Cheek Thrills Multi-Finish Face Trio - Morphe
Easy, beautiful and pigmented! Juvias Place is another new brand to me but has been growing on me recently! Available at Ulta!
Juvia's Place - Vol 1 Blushed Duo
• concealer 🕶️
Concealers are a make or break, & if you don’t have a good concealer (& skin prep), you’ll be left with a cakey, wrinkle-looking mess.
The Fit Me concealer is amazing. I use it everyday and it’s comparable to the Tarte shape tape creamy concealer for me! Available at Target!
Fit Me Concealer
Amazing! I tried a sample and bought the full size. I love this stuff! It’s super creamy, easy to blend, doesn’t crease, wears beautifully. Everything you could want in a concealer! Available at Ulta!
35N Medium Shape Tape Creamy Concealer - Tarte
Very creamy, applies smooth and blends out like a dream! It doesn’t settle into fine lines or creases, so it works great for more mature skin! Available at Ulta!
Vanilla Radiant Creamy Concealer - NARS
• eyeshadow 🤩
Once you find a high-quality eyeshadow palette, there’s no going back. These shadows hold up all day! No creasing from mid-day skin oils, no flaking under your eyes, and they blend like butter. Plus, they’re super pigmented you won’t have to dig in t...
LOVE. This. Palette. 👏🏼. So good and so versatile! The pigment is amazing, it doesn’t flake under the eyes, it doesn’t crease, and it LASTS! Of course along with good skin prep, but don’t pass up on this! Such a good everyday palette. Available at ...

I Need a Warm Eyeshadow Palette - NATASHA DENONA
• setting sprays/powders 🔒🌬️
Setting sprays and powders can make or break a makeup look. As we all remember from the infamous James Charles ‘Flashback Mary’ era- these setting sprays and powders will give you those bomb GNO pics without worry of Flashback Mary coming to haunt yo...
This is one of the only setting sprays I’ve been using lately! It rates good on the yuka app (that’s what I usually go by BUT ALWAYS look at your ingredients as well!) it’s good for acne prone skin and keeps my makeup in place working as a hairstylis...
elf Stay All Night Blue Light Micro-Setting Mist - 2.7 fl oz - ...
This stuff is amazing! Doesn’t crease and wears beautifully all day. I don’t bake my face, but I bought the smaller size literally years ago and JUST NOW ran out. I will be buying it again. It’s been a holy grail! Available at Ulta!
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
Good overall setting spray. I wouldn’t say it’s the best at keeping your makeup glued to your face, and it’s definitely not waterproof/resistant, but it keeps it set all day enough for work or a grocery or shopping trip! Available at Ulta!
2.8 oz Continuous Setting Mist - Morphe
This one right here is an OG and one of the very first setting sprays I tried and loved. It melts your makeup so well, I would t necessarily say it locks it in place, but I would definitely use it to melt everything then maybe set with another spray....
Original Soothing Herbal Prep + Prime Fix+ Primer and Setting Spray - MAC
Urban Decay’s All Nighter Setting Spray really does hold your makeup all night! Available at Ulta!
All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray - Urban Decay Cosmetics

Tried & true! An OG brow product that’s simple and does its job. Can never go wrong with benefit brow. Available at Ulta!
Benefit Cosmetics - 24-HR Brow Setter Clear Eyebrow Gel with Lamination ...
This brow/lash gel doesn’t technically hold my brows in place like the others do, but it definitely just gives them that clean, brushed out look. More for those days where you’re going for clean with no makeup or a no makeup-makeup look. Available at...
Wet n Wild Mega Clear Brow & Lash Mascara
We all know the loved OG tried & true, ABH Dip Brow. Definitely can’t go wrong picking this one up, it just might take a little more of a lighter hand to get the right look. The pencils are easier for beginners to work with. This one is great and...

I love the packaging of these. Super cute and work well! Available at Sephora!
