Prep
The first step of the makeup process, which preps the skin and hold it all together.
This is my go-to primer! With my dry skin, it feels incredible under my makeup!
Jelly Pop Dew Primer | Gel Primer
Foundation
The base of the makeup process, I have options for medium and light coverage.
This foundation is amazing. I use it everyday and it lasted me about four months. It’s very easy on the wallet and it gives me great coverage! The shade I got matches my skin tone very well. I will be getting this again.
Soft Glam Foundation - Medium Coverage
I love this skin tint! It lasted a long time for me and has perfect coverage for everyday wear. It covers my scars while also being light on my skin. It's also very hydrating
Eaze Drop Lightweight Blurring Skin Tint — 21
Eyes
Anything around the eyes: eyebrows, lashes, under eye, and eyeshadow.
This is my go-to product for brows! It effortlessly creates a fuller look and beautifully enhances their shape.
Micro Brow Eyebrow Pencil | NYX Professional Makeup
This concealer is an absolute must-have! It blends effortlessly and provides flawless coverage. Plus, it’s incredibly hydrating, making it perfect for anyone with dry skin like me.
Bare With Me Concealer Serum | NYX Professional Makeup
Sculpt
Sculpting helps define your features and makes them pop, I like doing this when taking pictures or for an outing.
This bronzer powder has become my go-to! I love applying it over my cream bronzer for a stunning, deeper glow that truly enhances my look.
Bronzed Duo Bronzer
LOVE THIS, very smooth and pigmented. It has a pretty shimmer but it's not too glittery
On-the-Glow Bronze - Tinted Moisture Stick
Blush
My favorite part, BLUSH! So many pretty colors to choose and mix, sometimes it’s hard to pick one 😉
This liquid blush is my absolute favorite! It's incredibly pigmented and looks stunning on my skin! I love mixing colors to make a unique look.
Camo Liquid Blush
It lasts SO LONG. I barely have made a dent and I have been using it everyday for a year! You don't need much because it's very pigmented.
Buttermelt High-Pigment Blush | NYX Professional Makeup
Set
A very important part: setting. This helps hold your work in place and also mattifies any shine you don't want. Setting under the eye really makes my makeup look nice so I love doing this part.
I love these! They are great for getting pressed powder under the eye. They are easy to clean and store when not in use.
Halo Glow Pinkie Powder Puff Set - 3
This powder is amazing; it elevates my entire look to perfection! It comes with a mirror attached so I keep it in my purse for touch-ups.
Fit Me® Matte + Poreless Powder Foundation Makeup
Lips
The finishing touch: lips :) I love using a liner with some gloss to finish the look. It’s always a chef's kiss 💋🤭
This a staple in my routine with or without makeup. I love to buy more than one to store it in different bags. The colors are very pigmented!
Butter Gloss Non-Sticky Lip Gloss | NYX Professional Makeup
