For a smooth flawless everyday look
This has been my go-to foundation for the last 7 years. It’s the only one I’ve found that is an exact match to my skintone. It’s also very buildable if you want light versus heavier coverage.
Fit Me Matte + Poreless Liquid Foundation - Maybelline
Another classic from Maybelline. I’ve been using this concealer for over a decade. You just need a tiny drop to cover multiple areas. It blends smoothly and evenly and does a good job at covering pimples, under eye circles and pigmentation.
Fit Me® Oil-Free Concealer Face Makeup - Maybelline
Very very pigmented contour so you only need a tiny amount. I use a kabuki brush to blend it on my jawline and under my cheekbones.
tick Cream Highlight & Contour Stick - NYX
This bronzer is super buildable which I love. It also has an added bonus of smelling like delicious cocoa. As someone with very fair skin this creates a nice summer glow without looking orange.
Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer
As a pale skin girlie, I have this one in Dolce Pink! It’s super pigmented so a little goes a LONG way. I’ve tried MAC cosmetics blush before and this product in my opinion is just as pigmented and good quality.
Milani Cosmetics Baked Blush
I use this powder to set my foundation and then again to set my final look. I legitimately have this product on auto delivery because it’s an absolute need for a flawless finish.
Covergirl Clean Invisible Loose Powder
This is such a high quality spray that I’ll never look elsewhere. Keeps my full face of makeup on even when I fall asleep in it after a night out (oops!) or if it’s hot outside.

Eyes
Budget friendly mascara and eyeliner
This is the best waterproof mascara I’ve found. Won’t come off or smudge at all even when swimming. Easily removable with a makeup wipe if needed.
COVERGIRL Lash Blast Volume Waterproof Mascara
Calling all my fellow green eyed babes! The burgundy shade is absolutely stunning and enhances green eyes. Every single time I’ve worn this I’ve gotten a compliment on my eye color.
L'Oreal Paris Makeup Voluminous Original Mascara
Comes in the mist gorgeous colors and stays on all day.
Vivid Rich Mechanical Pencil | NYX Professional Makeup
Very natural looking and easy to apply. I like these because my eyes get easily overwhelmed by more dramatic lash clusters so these are perfect.
Wispy Spider Lash Clusters
I’ve had this forever and it works really well. For ease of use I actually recommend placing a small drop of glue at the bottom of your own lashes to make the application easier.
DUO Lash Glue
Lips
Who needs lip filler when products like these exist?
I have this in the shade Admire and when I tell you this is my favorite lip color of all time I mean it. Easy to apply, and fits my natural lip tone PERFECTLY. It legit makes it look like I have freshly done lip filler. Absolutely love this.
Covergirl Outlast Lipstain
Non sticky and easy to apply. Such a gorgeous shade of pink.
Tinted Lip Oil - Fat Oil Lip Drip Lip Gloss | NYX Professional Makeup
