Skin Prep and Base
This primer gives my makeup a slightly sticky base that helps everything stay in place longer. I apply a small amount and wait about 30 seconds before putting makeup over it. Using too much can make my skin feel overly sticky or heavy, so a thin laye...

Ellen Tracy Contour Palette - Amazon.com
This liquid blush is extremely pigmented, so one tiny dot can be enough for both cheeks. I blend it immediately with a sponge or brush because the color can become intense very quickly. I like that it stays noticeable without needing several layers. ...

I like this eyelash curler because it lifts my lashes and makes them look more noticeable before I apply mascara. I use it gently at the base of my lashes and hold it for a few seconds instead of squeezing too hard. It helps create a more open-eyed l...
Tweezerman Classic Lash Curler
I like this mascara because it makes my lashes look longer, darker and fuller for a very affordable price. The brush helps separate and coat my lashes, giving me a more dramatic look without wearing false lashes. I usually apply one or two coats beca...

Lips
I like this gloss because it gives my lips a shiny, hydrated appearance and completes my makeup without needing a heavy lipstick. The formula feels smoother and less sticky than many traditional glosses I’ve tried. I can wear it by itself for a natur...
Gummy Bear Lifter Gloss Candy Drop Lip Gloss with Hyaluronic Acid
I like this lip liner because its creamy texture makes it easy to outline and define my lips without pulling on them. I can wear it by itself for a natural matte look or pair it with gloss for extra shine. I apply it with a light hand and blend the e...
Lifter Liner Creamy Moisturizing Lip Liner
I like this lip oil because it gives my lips a glossy, hydrated appearance without feeling extremely heavy. I can wear it alone for a simple everyday look or layer it over my Maybelline lip liner for extra color and shine. The oversized applicator ma...

I use this as the final step when I want my makeup to look fresh, blended and less powdery. The dewy finish helps the different layers of my makeup come together and gives my skin a healthy-looking glow. I spray it from a distance instead of soaking ...
Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray | Long-Lasting & Hydrating
I like this setting powder because it helps reduce unwanted shine without completely removing the glowy finish from my makeup. I apply a light amount under my eyes and on the areas that become oily instead of covering my entire face. Using too much c...
