💬 At 39, I’ve tried my fair share of concealers, and most either crease or cake up on me. Not this one! The applicator makes it super easy to use, and a little truly goes a long way—I’ve had mine for 4 months and still have plenty left. It blends li...

✨Okay, I know I say I love all my faves… but I really love this one! A tiny amount goes a long way, it blends like a dream, and it’s perfect for everyday wear or special occasions. Bonus: it doubles as foundation and concealer. Um… yes, please.
Milani Conceal + Perfect 2-In-1 Foundation and Concealer
✨Another fave concealer! This one has a thicker formula—which I actually love because a little goes a long way. At around $30, it’s totally worth it since it lasts for months. The coverage is amazing, and best of all, it doesn’t crease!

The POREfessional Face Primer
✨ My everyday go-to for fuller, thicker brows! The tinted gel + precise applicator makes it so easy to use—you literally can’t mess it up. It grips onto every hair for natural-looking, defined brows in seconds. A must-have.
Benefit-Brow Gel & Wax
✨Milani never misses! I wear blush every single day, and their Dolce Pink shade is my go-to. The soft shimmer gives the perfect glow without being too much—just that fresh, everyday radiance I love.
Radiant Powder Blush
✨I’ve tried so many setting sprays, and this one truly stands out. It smooths over pores, locks in my makeup, and actually lasts all day—up to 16 hours without budging. Definitely my top pick.
Make It Last- Matte Finish Charcoal Setting Spray
✨If you’re a highlighter lover, this one’s a must! The pearlescent pink glow is stunning—shimmery, radiant, and impossible to miss. I love adding it to my cheekbones and the bridge of my nose for that extra pop of glow.
Master Chrome® Metallic Highlighter
✨ Okay, hear me out, this chafing gel is basically a dupe for an everyday face primer, and it works amazingly! For just $10–11, it smooths your skin, keeps your makeup in place, and a little goes a long way. I honestly can’t tell the difference betwe...
Chafing Powder Gel (Used as a face primer)
✨ I don’t always wear eyeliner, but when I do, I reach for Milani Stay Put 16HR in Semi-Sweet. The tip makes it easy to get a smoky eye, and it really does stay put—waterproof, sweat-resistant, and smudge-free.
Long Lasting Eyeliner
✨ Milani nails it again! For just $8, this lipstick gives medium-to-full coverage with a beautiful satin finish. I’m obsessed with the shade Naturally Chic—it’s my go-to for a polished, everyday look.
