One of the best setting spray for a blurred matte finish. I'm currently trying to find my favorite matte setting spray and this is top 2.
Yummy Skin Liquid Blurring Balm Mattifying Setting Spray
Currently loving this for a blurred matte effect as well. I'm currently trying to find my favorite matte setting spray and this is top 2.
Matte Setting Spray
My go-to when I want a glowy dewy look. I especially love this one during the dryer months where I live, because I am oily, so I cannot forgo powder but love a dewy look.
Makeup Setting Spray
I have used It cosmetics foundation for over 4 years. I have tried the original, this formula, and the glow version as well. I actually find the matte version to be less heavy on my skin vs the original, so it feels more comfortable to me personally....
CC+ Cream Natural Matte Foundation SPF 40
I feel that Valentino Beauty is verrry slept on. This concealer is perfect for those who want some coverage but are prone to a cakey under eye that comes with a more full coverage concealer. This won't cover everything 100% as it is a medium coverage...
THE Very Valentino All Day Concealer
Huda never misses, I have this in SO many shades. I use sugar cookie year round, pound cake when i have a tan, and play around with cherry blossom, peach pie, and banana bread depending on my makeup vibes that day.
Easy Bake Loose Setting Powder
I have loved 3 products that were very similar to this in the past.. and all 3 got discontinued. I hope this never does. If you like a glowy vibe but hate the feeling of not setting with a powder, this is your girl. It is beautiful as a finishing pow...
Cloudlight Soft Glow Veil Finishing Powder
I like to mix this with shimmery powders and use as a body powder. I used to make my own pink setting powder with this as well, but tend to just use my huda one now that it exists.
Coty AIRSPUN Face Powder, Natural Tone 2.3oz
A little pot of perfection for those with larger pores they want to smooth out. Works with or without makeup!
Revolution Pro Blur & Fine Line Filler
Love using this before my primer to revive my skin a bit if it has been a while since I applied my skincare!
Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops
This is the foundation I use when under-painting. It is the perfect product for that technique.
NU BARE LOOK TINT Hydrating Skin Tint Foundation with Hyaluronic Acid
An amazing product for no makeup days when i want to cover up some redness and even out my skin. It starts out green but blends in and becomes undetectable.
Rescue Balm +Red Correct | 5 ml
I love this for when I haven't been getting as much sleep and my dark circles are more noticeable. It is a thin but highly pigmented formula that you can use on its own or under concealer
Bobbi Brown Under Eye Color Corrector
Lips
The best of the best most incredible lip plumper I have ever tried. I have gone through more tubes of this than any other product. I once lost a brand new tube on a night out and still think about her to this day. I will wear this in my casket.
Lip Injection Extreme Lip Plumper
A well known staple from elf, for good reason. It feels so nice and hydrating, is not sticky whatsoever, and is under $10.
Glow Reviver Tinted Lip Oil
I will be wearing one of these on my wedding day. The most comfortable matte lipstick to ever touch my lips. I love love love. My most beloved lipstick I currently own.
Spike Valentino Buttery Matte Lip Color
As I get older, I find myself using lip liner more and more. I used to only use it when going out at night, but now it is typically part of my every day routine. I find Line Leader to be my perfect everyday shade. I line my lips and blend it in and a...
Lifter Liner Lip Liner Makeup with Hyaluronic Acid
I always have one of these in my makeup bag. I mix it with some peppermint oil for a cooling plumping effect
Vaseline - Original Lip Therapy Lip Balm
ohmyyygosh. It is so hydrating and smoothing on my lips. Supposedly this helps with fine lines as well! I haven't paid attention to whether or not I notice a difference with that, but tbh I don't care if it does or doesn't.. i love this lip treatment...
Cherry Tart Smoothie Advanced Smoothing Lip Treatment
Eyes
okay.. the last thing I want to love is an expensive mascara because I find myself replacing this so often, but I also think this is one of the most important steps in my routine because on the typical day, I don't wear a ton of eye makeup. This mean...
Shop Pradascope Lash Lengthening Eye Mascara
My first every sephora purchase (and high end makeup purchase) was an urban decay eyeshadow and eyeliner for my birthday gift to myself in 6th grade. I got a shimmery gold eyeshadow and shimmery gold eyeliner to match. While i've used and loved diffe...
Eyeliner - Liquid, Pencil & Waterproof Liners
I have had my trio for years and it has been well loved. It is one of my favorite products to take with me when I travel because it always hits.
Beauty Bento - Stacked Eyeshadow Trio
In the past 5 years I don't think I have ever not had a benefit brow product in my routine at any given moment. One I always go back to is the Precisely, My Brow Pencil. Its so good. I use the shade 3.5 and its perfecttttt for me.
Brow Pencil
This is one of those products that either works for you and you love, or it doesn't and you absolutely hate it. I use this on my more natural makeup days, as that's when I find it works well for me. It can be a bit difficult to get the hang of, but o...
Brow Laminating Gel - Clear-Drying Brow Gel
I am a brown liner girlie through and through. I've been using brown since high school, because I'm so fair skinned that black was too harsh unless i was wearing a full beat. Which i was most definitely not doing in high school. If you like felt tip ...
Roller Liner Matte Liquid Eyeliner
Most mascaras don't work as well as they dry out. This one continues to slay until it is too dry to use/too old. I have loved this for over 5 years and every time I use it I remember why I love it. I always get compliments when wearing this one.
Perversion Volumizing Mascara for Length & Curl
If you have not tried a tubing mascara, I highly recommend you do. My apartment building has a pool (indoor and outdoor), so I swim a lot year round. I don't love using waterproof mascara because I have sensitive eyes and have not found a removal met...
Lash Sensational Firework Washable Lifting Mascara
I mostly use this for my hair when doing slicked back styles to fill in my hair line, but also use it for my brows and as a powder liner on occasion. It travels with me everywhere, it comes with all the brushes you need too which is super convenient.
Madison Reed Root Touch Up + Brow Filler
I wanted to include an affordable mascara I love too. This one recently dried up for me, but it is one of my favorite affordable mascaras on the market. It gives my lashes so much length and definition.
Makeup Revolution 5D Lash Mascara
This product itself is discontinued, but wanted to still include it as I think the brand has such great shadows. I always bring this when traveling too, because it has everything you need for natural every day eyes and super dramatic smokey looks.
Motives® Iconic Palette
I use this almost every time I wear mascara. It nourishes my lashes and primes them for my mascara
Cils Booster XL Lash Serum & Mascara Primer Base - Lancôme
I use this on my water line and inner corner to brighten and highlight. I have used this for years, and i love it! I use a few different shades depending on the look i'm going for and how tan I am
Maybelline Lasting Drama Light Eyeliner Bronze
I use this when i'm getting ready in a rush. it fills in my brows a bit and tames them. I use 3.5
Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Eyebrow Gel
Cheeks
One of my longest used products, it takes me a while to finish a blush, but I have gone through so many of these. I mix up the shade all of the time, and currently am using one from an older limited edition collection, but exposed is a go to classic ...
Amazonian clay 12-hour blush
There is a reason this is in my makeup bag. It is the best one step makeup product. I will use this on my eyes, lips, and cheeks even when I have nothing else on. It makes my skin look FLAWLESS. The shade Fig Smoothie is my favorite and I will probab...
Dewy Bar - Cheek & Lip Multi-Stick
I know blinding glittery highlighter isn't a thing right now, but I just can't let this one go. I love using it on my eyes, especially on my inner corner. I will still use this on my cheeks too if the vibe is right.
Facestudio® Master Holographic® Prismatic Highlighter
Tools
I love this puff. I know its a bit pricy for what it is, but they hold up very well. I wash my puffs and use them until they fall apart. This one has yet to do so… I don't even know how many years i've had it.
Laura Mercier Velour Puff | Flawless Powder Application
This is the first brush i've tried from Morphe since their relaunch and its amazing. It is super soft, and well made. It works for so many uses and areas on my face I kinda want to have 5 of them.
M163 Paddle Powder Brush
I have used quite a few concealer brushes, some high end some not. They are pretty much all the same. This one works well and holds up.
Flawless Concealer Brush
I've had this brush so long, it was named something else when I bought it. (the writting has come off so I cant read it) but the putty blush did not exist when i got this brush. I use it with any cream or liquid blush I own and always works.
Putty Blush Brush: Tapered Cream ...
I got this in an Ipsy bag years ago, and love it. It is a very high quality brush and applies beautifully. I find it hard to over apply with it, which I tend to do as I am heavy handed with blush.
Chique™ Blush
There isn't much to be said about this one. It's a great sponge, a classic.
Beautyblender® Original Makeup Sponge
Love rare beauty, and love this brush. I use it to brush away excess powder after baking. It is so light and feathery it doesn't disturb my makeup and just removes excess powder.
Always an Optimist Powder Brush
I use this as my bronzer brush, it helps blend quickly and doesn't leave harsh lines.
Mini Multitask Makeup Brush
I have used this brush with every foundation I own, and it always works. I like my foundation super buffed into my skin because i have a lot of pores/texture. So too much product sitting on top can accentuate that. This brush solves that for me :)
the buffer™ brush airbrush foundation brush
obsessed! i've had this for over a year and its holding up super well.
Power Pocket Puff™ Dual-Sided Powder Puff for Setting and Baking
