I like looking put together, but not overdone. It's taken me years to get a makeup bag I'm happy with, and sometimes, around the time I find the perfect fit, it gets discontinued or reformulated, and I have to start all over. So, here are my current ...

Foundation
I used to use the Jane Iredale natural glow foundation, and it was my favorite one. When they changed the formula it felt dry and cakey to me. I've searched around and the Ogee tinted moisturizer is pretty close, but I reach for this Nars natural rad...
Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation

This is a great light coverage foundation. I like it better than the Ogee foundation sticks. I still use the contour, blush, and highlight sticks, but I use the liquid foundation(tinted moisturizee). It is even less cakey and more natural looking.
Complexion Perfecting Tinted Serum
NEW Favorite! Okay. I went into Ulta the other day to get color matched for NARS again. I recently had open heart surgery and my skin tone is different due to better circulation. I have fairly clear skin, so I don't like a lot of foundation, and I li...
Even Better Clinical™ Vitamin Makeup Foundation SPF 45
Complexion
I love these for blush, contour, and highlight. I skip the foundation sticks and go for their liquid tinted moisturizer for foundation. My skin loves these.
Sculpted Face Stick
I have only bought this palette once. It was spendy, but it has lasted me forever and it looks really lovely. Totally worth it. It's great paired with the Nars foundation I listed, and I use it for more long-lasting looks.
Powder Contour Kit
My favorite primer I've tried so far. I use the champagne one. They're probably all great. So lightweight and moisturizing, I think.
Spackle Skin Perfecting Primer Collection
Was hesitant to spend on this, but it has lasted forever and I love it as a night time moisturizer. For daytime, I usually go with something more light weight.

Eyes
My eyes are my favorite feature, so I like to treat them right.
Best eyeshadow palette ever! I have brown eyes, and I love this palette. I definitely use some colors more than others, but I can use all of them, and they all look great. The quality is amazing, and the palette is so affordable. I use it more than m...
Murumuru Butter Eyeshadow Palette | Sultry Nights
You can't go wrong with this Makeup Palette. I won't even make a dime if you buy this, but I can't gatekeep. It's probably my 2nd favorite eyeshadow palette.
Shadow Kiss 15 Color Eyeshadow Collection - Alter Ego
Best bang for your buck in tubing mascaras.
Highly Rated Lash Extensions Mascara
I have searched for a favorite eyeliner for years. Nothing stuck until this one. Literally. Love it. Make sure you have a thin, firm brush to apply it with.
Eyeliner
This in eggplant (dark purple) is so soft and beautiful.
Stay Put® Long Lasting Eyeliner
Lips
I love this lip oil. I use the apple cider. It's a very neutral and natural color. It feels pretty hydrating for a lip gloss, too.
ALL NEW! THIRST QUENCHER LIP OIL
Does it plump? I don't know. Does it make my lips look amazing? Yeah. I love it. I get the "soft rose" color but have been tempted to try others.
Keep It Full | Nourishing Lip Plumper
Love this liner in 630 Nude. Gives that polished lip look without being overbearing.
