Blush

Powder Blush is going to be HUGE this year. Did you know, that if you aren't setting your cream based blush with a powder blush, then that's most likely why your blush fades throughout the day! Add your cream based blush and put s setting powder over...

Literally any Merit blush shade is amazing. They aren't exactly NEW, but they did do a new shade range earlier this year. These are buildable and meant to be applied throughout the day! Just pop it in your purse!
Flush Balm Cream Blush

The pigment in this is AMAZING. I have the shade Butterlfies and Hype! Both are shimmery but have a long lasting color.

I'm linking this early because I already know I am going to love this. Long Beach Iced Tea and Sawtelle Slushie are what I want to try!

Loving the shade Flush (baby pink) for spring and summer. This is VERY pigmented and is a tint so it stains in a sense. I LOVE this though because it actually stays all day then!
Cooling Water Jelly Tint Lip + Cheek Blush Stain

Foundation

I am 100% a skin tint girl, so if you're looking for full coverage foundation, unfortuantely these might not be your best bet.

Wearing the shade 3. Love this foundation, but I only recommend it to those with hydrated skin.
Hydro Grip 12-Hour Hydrating Gel Skin Tint

This may be a controversial add, but I actually really like this product. I have combination skin but I feel like this works really well with my texture.

Very sheer coverage, but layers so perfectly over the Saie Glowy Supergel. I recommend both for a tanned glowy look.
Sheer Skin Tint with Hyaluronic Acid + Squalane

Definitely love the Sunglow shade for the warmer months for that glowy base. Pair this with the Summer Fridays skin tint for more natural results!

Setting Powder

I used to think setting powder was dumb, but then I found these and changed my mind. If you want a straight forward setting powder, I recommend the Kosas. If you want to really bake your makeup (set it without moving) then try the Huda Beauty. Defini...

Love the Pink shade. I apply this over my foundation to set it!

Ube Birthday cake is amazing for lighter skin tones and for BAKING. This is meant to set into the skin and have the excess brushed off. It takes some practice to get it right.

Concealer

Fun fact: Kosas Revealer Extra Bright is like a primer for your concealer. You can wear it by itself or pair it under a concealer like the one I love from Natasha Denona.

For lighter skin tones, use shade Magic! It's pink and helps brighten your undereyes

I have a love hate relationship with concealer since my undereyes always look cakey, but this one is amazing. I usually pair it with the Kosas Color Corrector in shade Magic underneath.
Hy-Glam Brightening & Hydrating Medium to Full Coverage Crease Proof Serum Concealer

Dewey

Dewey makeup trend isn't going anywhere. Pair these two together and you have a GLOWING base.

I have every shade, but I love Warmglow and Roseglow the most! They are great for dewey look and work under foundation or as a highlighter to the highpoints of the face.

Another controversial pick, but this foundation stick is every glowy makeup lovers dream! It's AMAZING. I will say it might be a bit orange, but I still wear this almost every day.
Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick

Brulee is THE BEST shade! It's a rosy glow that highlights and can work as a blush for those who prefer a softer blush look. This is great paired with Saie's Dew Blush in Spicy for the sunburnt blush trend.
