Foundation
Best drugstore foundation, hands down. A buildable and hydrating foundation, that feels lightweight and doesn’t become cakey at all.
True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum
This is definitely more of a lighter coverage foundation, hence why it is labeled as a “filter” and not a foundation. This is supposed to be a dupe of the Charlotte Tilbury flawless filter foundation, and many have said that they are highly comparabl...
Halo Glow Liquid Filter Complexion Booster
Definitely has the most coverage out of the other foundations on the list. Solid full-coverage, matte foundation.

Feels super lightweight and hydration while providing buildable coverage.

A dual-ended contour stick with cream contour on one end, and cream highlight on the other! Super useful for traveling/on-the-go makeup.

A creamy powder blush that blends seamlessly into your base. Need I say more?
Buttermelt High-Pigment Blush

An oldie but a goodie! Don’t doubt the forever faves just because new products continue to come out!
Blushing Blush Powder
Setting Powder

A super dewy, hydrating setting spray that feels refreshing and moisturizing.
Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray
Pair it with the power grip matte primer to complete your matte look!! 👀🖤
Magic Mist & Set: Matte Setting Spray
A matte-finish setting spray that absorbs blue light to give you the crispiest matte look! ✨
Stay All Day Blue Light Long Lasting Setting Spray
There’s a reason why MCo beauty is taking the beauty world by storm- they have real, legit dupes of high end products at a fraction of the price. This setting spray is well known as a fantastic dupe of the charlotte tilbury setting spray.
