Beginner Holy Grail Makeup Products (I just started wearing makeup!)
20
items Growing up, I struggled with a lot of acne and therefore never really fully understood how to use makeup. I was more focused on skincare, now, after 10 years since the last time I used makeup, I made trips to Ulta and Sephora. I’ve been using these m...

All the products for the base of your routine!
This. Gets. Me. Through. It. All.
I use the shade ‘Bisque’ for my entire face and the shade ‘Sandstone’ for my concealer. Just get it. You’ll love it!
The Minimalist
The shade range? Awful. Hate that it works so good. If you’re on the more mature side and have creases and wrinkles under your eyes, this does a spectacular job at minimizing them.
Face Flex
Powders (Blush, setting powder, finishing powder)
My holy grail of powders! (It’s a lot)
Genuinely the softest powder product I’ve ever touched. I was gifted this in shade ‘strawberry nebula’ and at first it was a super scary looking color but it is the cutest doll pink
hypernova satin matte blush
Wish this wasn’t worth $94. Unfortunately it is. Only if you’re using to use basically all of the shades though. I am a light-medium and found that all the shades work for me, but honestly the bronzer and middle blush would likely not work on anybody...
Ambient Lighting Edit - Unlocked
I genuinely have THREE. Of these. It’s a little excessive but if you bake it goes fast. I have a mini and full size in shade ‘pound cake.’ And a full size in shade ‘ube birthday cake.’ It looks scary but it gives you a brighter tone and subtle pinky ...
EASY BAKE LOOSE POWDER Banana Bread
Love this powder. I have it in shade 1: fair. Tip, even if you’re a light medium or lighter medium, still get the #1, the powder is sheer enough that it will not show through your foundation.
Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder: 2 Medium
Currently this is the most used powder in my ambient lighting palette. If you decided you really wouldn’t use all of the powders in the holiday palette, this is the one thing I’d recommend buying out of it. This is a finishing powder that really brin...
Ambient™ Lighting Finishing Powder | Your Perfect Light
Cream products (blush, contour, etc)
As you can tell I’m not a huge fan of cream products, but these are genuinely the best of the best.
I specifically love the blush wand in PINKGASM. A little goes a long way and it’s such a beautiful pink with highlight in it already. It’s perfect.
Liquid Blush: Wands, Tints & Kits
I use the shade ‘biscuit’ and I actually use this more like a bronzer since the way the pigment blends is so smooth and easily covers a large area. I also recommend getting the mini size if you have a harder time getting through products
Westman Atelier Face Trace Cream Contour Stick
Prep + Prime
I actually don’t use a primer, only moisturizers and creams.
This is specifically for the under-eyes if you have slightly dry ones like me
Moisture Surge™ Intense 72H Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator
Is it expensive? Yes. But does it really give you glass skin? Yes.
Peach & Lily Glass Skin Moisturizer
This is the sunscreen I use under my makeup, but a lot of the other Korean ones work great too like Beauty of Joseon.
CANMAKE Mermaid Skin Gel 01 Clear 1.41 oz (40 g)
Lip Products
Everybody loves a good lippie!
You’ve probably heard awful things about this product. I think it’s something special if you find the shade that you love. I personally love toast and pb&j, they’re in my rotation and I’m almost done with both.
peptide lip tint
Love this in shade ‘baby’, ‘ginger’, and ‘maison’
Signature Lip
I love the shade ‘drive in movie’ it’s actually my most used stick lipstick
on your collar matte lipstick
Most important thing in a lip gloss? Non sticky ness. These glosses are so flattering and non sticky. My favorite shades are fembot and cherry cola.
Lip Gloss
