Mascara
When I’m looking for a good mascara, I’m looking for one that volumizes and lengthens, doesn’t transfer and doesn’t flake. These mascaras passed the test and honestly are the best mascaras you can buy!
The Colossal Bubble is a volumizing mascara from Maybelline, designed to give “inflated” lashes with sleek separation. This definitely has a more natural appearance to me but my lashes look so wispy, separated and stunning!
Colossal Bubble Washable Volumizing Mascara
This formula is INCREDIBLE. This is the number one mascara I recommend if you want long and full lashes. My lashes look soft and fluffy with it and this is an amazing dupe for Better Than Sex mascara

Base
I love a glowy base to my makeup over matte. If you love looking like you’re glowing from within - these picks are for you!
The formula gives that glowy, dewy finish that looks natural—not overly shimmery or glittery. Many users say it catches the light in a flattering way. It has a lightweight feel that is super buildable to achieve the coverage you desire. Tons of shade...
Halo Glow Liquid Filter Complexion Booster
Talk about GLOWING. This skin tint gives the most stunning glow without being shiny. The coverage is amazing. This is my go to choice when I want to look glowy without looking overdone.

Blush
I’m a blush LOVER. I love the healthy glow blush brings back to your skin after putting on a base. Berry shades are my current favorites and there are so many good options at the drugstore!
My FAVORITE blush EVER. I love mixing Suave Mauve and Cheeky Lychee. These have amazing pigment and are buildable if you like more color. Love the shade options!
Camo Liquid Blush
My favorite shade is Dolce Pink! Since it’s a blush with a highlighter finish, this gives you a STUNNING glow.
Baked Blush
One of my favorite blushes! The pigment on these is insane and they blend so easily

Bronzer
Nothing is better than warming the face back up after putting your base on. I always look for a bronzer that is super beginner friendly and easy to blend out and these picks are the absolute best.
I love this camo bronzer as much as I love the camo blushes by Elf. They blend out seamlessly and the shade range is great. It gives the perfect bronzing look without being too orange. This is a great option if you’re a beginner and nervous about ble...
Camo Liquid Bronzer & Contour
This is potentially my favorite bronzer of all time. New to bronzer? Get this one! You can’t mess it up. It’s almost like it literally blends into your skin the second you apply it. SO GOOD.
