Skincare & Skin Prep
There is honestly nothing I swear by more for my acne than Murad. I always get the kit instead of buying everything separately because it saves so much money, and I actually use every single product in it as part of my everyday routine. It’s one of t...
60-Day InvisiScar Kit
This is my favorite nighttime moisturizer, especially because I use the Murad moisturizer with SPF in the morning. Murad can be pretty drying if you don’t keep your skin moisturized, so I always make sure I use this at night to keep my skin feeling h...
water bank blue hyaluronic - Laneige
This shit is SO good. I swear by it when I need my makeup to actually stay put, especially on hot days or when I know I’m going to be sweating. It gives my makeup that really good matte, locked-in base without feeling super heavy, and it seriously he...
Secure The Sweat Waterproof Mattifying Primer - ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr
Base (Face Makeup)
I have never found a foundation that I will pick up over this one. It gives me that smooth, airbrushed look while still feeling lightweight, and the coverage is seriously so good. It’s one of those products I’ve tried a million times to replace and a...
2 Neutral Airbrush Flawless Foundation - Charlotte Tilbury | Ulta Beauty
I love this because it makes your makeup look so clean, summery, and glowy. I usually mix it with my foundation to make my base more glowy, and I swear it makes such a difference.
Halo Glow Liquid Filter
I swear I will say this 100 times, but I genuinely can’t find a concealer I like better than Shape Tape. I’ve tried so many others and somehow always end up coming back to this one—it just works for me every single time.
shape tape™ concealer
Blush, Bronzer, Contour, Highlight
I only use this when I’m not doing a full face, but I love it for those days when I just want a little color. It gives my cheeks and lips that natural, fresh flush without feeling like I’m actually wearing any makeup.
Benetint Benetint Liquid Lip & Cheek Stain - Benefit Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
Again like the last one, I absolutely love this when I’m not using foundation. It gives me that fresh little pop of color without needing to do a whole face, and I love how glowy and natural it looks.
Cooling Water Jelly Tint
I swear this lasts forever because you literally only need the tiniest bit. I love that it works just as well with a full face as it does when I’m not wearing much makeup, so I feel like I’m always reaching for it.
Hope Soft Pinch Liquid Blush - Rare Beauty | Ulta Beauty
My favorite blush of all time, seriously. I love how glowy it is but it still looks so natural on the skin—you get that pretty flush without it ever looking fake or too powdery.
Kosas Blush is Life Baked Talc-Free Dimensional + Brightening Blush
I love this bronzer because it gives the prettiest natural, sun-kissed look without ever looking orange or heavy which most bronzers or contours do. It blends so easily and leaves my skin looking warm and glowy, so it’s definitely one I reach for all...
Saie Dew Bronze Soft-Focus Sculpting Liquid Bronzer
I love this bronzer duo because it’s so pigmented and you barely need any product to get a really pretty bronzed and contoured look. It blends out so easily and gives that warm, sunkissed look without getting patchy.
Deep Bronzed Contour Duo - Juvia's Place | Ulta Beauty
I always use the gold liquid highlighter in Outshine because it blends into my skin so perfectly. It gives me that natural glow without leaving a white streak or making me look covered in glitter, which is exactly what I want from a highlighter.
Outshine Positive Light Liquid Luminizer - Rare Beauty | Ulta Beauty
I use this for the tip of my nose, eyebrow bone, and sometimes my eyes. The shade is so perfect because it gives you that pretty shimmer and small nose highlight effect without being too dark and gold or looking like a random silver dot of silver or ...
e.l.f. No Budge Shadow Stick - Perfect Pearl - 0.05oz: Metallic Finish, Paraben-Free, Vegan, Eyeshadow Stick
Eyes & Brows
I’ve had this palette forever and I still use it all the time. Literally every color is useful, whether I’m doing an everyday makeup look or going all out for full glam, so I never feel like there are shades sitting there that I’ll never touch
PRO Palette Artist Edition Meraki - LORAC | Ulta Beauty
I bought this palette for Halloween forever ago and I still can’t even lie, it comes in handy all the time. It has so many colors that I can use for random fun looks, but there are also shades I reach for when I just want to do my everyday makeup.
Makeup Revolution Maxi Reloaded Eyeshadow Palette - Monster Mattes - 2.16oz: Pressed Powder, Palette, Eyes, Defining
This is literally the only liquid eyeliner pen I’ve used for years. It lasts forever, is so easy to apply, and I’ve never had the issue of it drying out almost immediately like I’ve had with so many other liquid liners.
Intense Black Better Than Sex Easy Glide Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner - Too Faced | Ulta Beauty
this is the only mascara i will ever use. it’s so perfect in every way. THE VOLUME is insane. i personally prefer this over falsies. and the best part is that it’s literally like $10. ive been swimming for hours while wearing this and it doesn’t...
Paradise Mascara
super affordable brow gel. it holds my brows in place all day! i prefer clear gel over colored gel since i think it looks cleaner and it usually holds better to.
Clear Brow & Lash Mascara
The Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Pomade is my go-to for perfectly sculpted, long-lasting brows! Its creamy, buildable formula glides on smoothly, giving you natural-looking definition or bold, statement brows — whatever your mood. It’s waterproof, sm...
DIPBROW® Pomade
These are the lash clusters I use when I’m having a more natural week and don’t want a full lash. They’re so cute and natural-looking, and I love that the band is basically seamless, so they don’t look like you’re wearing anything.
Seamless Naked Underlash Extensions - Ardell | Ulta Beauty
Lips
I actually started using Rosette as a lip liner and now I don’t really use anything else. It lasts forever on me and gives my lips the prettiest natural tint without looking too done.
Flushed Lip Stain 12HR Long-Lasting Lip Tint - Summer Fridays
I love warm pink lip glosses because they actually match my natural lip color, and this one is exactly the kind of shade I’m always looking for. I swear warm pinks are so hard to find, so this has quickly become one of my favorites.
Cinnamon Churro Polite Pout Glossy Lip Balm - Polite Society | Ulta Beauty
I love this one when I want a little extra sparkle on my lips without it being too much. Honey Diamond is such a pretty everyday gloss, especially layered over a lip liner.
Diamond Lip Gloss - Anastasia Beverly Hills
There are so many flavors of the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, but Berry is still my favorite. I keep coming back to it because it leaves my lips so soft by the morning or just wearing it as chapstick during the day.
Lip Sleeping Mask Nourish & Hydrate
This lip balm is only about a dollar, but it honestly feels so much nicer than you’d expect for the price. The Wild Strawberry flavor is delicious, and I always keep one in my bag because it leaves my lips feeling soft without breaking the bank.
CocoBalm Lip Balm - Wild Strawberry K1
Finishing Touches
I swear by this setting spray. I’ve tried so many, but this is one I always come back to because it makes my makeup last so much longer and keeps everything looking fresh. I also love that they make a mini size because I take it literally everywhere.
1.15 oz Airbrush Flawless Hydrating & Waterproof Setting Spray - Charlotte Tilbury | Ulta Beauty
I love this because it keeps my makeup in place without making me look dry or cakey, and it’s super affordable. The light pink shade is perfect for my skin tone too, which is surprisingly hard to find with cheaper setting powders.
Halo Glow Setting Powder
I originally bought this for parties and concerts because it has the prettiest little shimmer in it without making your skin look greasy. It gives your makeup a subtle glow that catches the light so well, especially in photos and under concert lights...
e.l.f. High Definition Loose Powder - Soft Luminance - 0.28oz: Paraben-Free, Vegan, Makeup Setting, Normal Skin
Tools & Other Beauty Essentials
I have such a hard time sticking with one brush set because I’m always finding a cuter one, but I’ve had this one for the past year or two and still love it. It’s simple, cute, and actually has every brush I need without a bunch of extras I never use...
Sonia Kashuk™ Essential Collection Complete Makeup Brush Set - 10pc
I always like having extra makeup sponges around, and this set is such an easy one to keep stocked. I like that it comes with different sizes because I use the smaller ones for concealer and the bigger ones for foundation and powder, and for the pric...
Blending Squad | 7-pc Beauty Sponge Set
I love these because they’re round on one side and pointy on the other, so you can cover bigger areas without having to keep going back over them. The pointed end is perfect for getting right under your eyes and into those tiny areas where a normal p...
