Base Products for Smoothness, Evenness, and Coverage
Estée Lauder’s Double Wear Foundation is a perfect medium buildable coverage for a teen who wants to cover up texture and have a perfect, glowy finish. It’s also skincare infused, and I don’t deal with breakouts when using this. There’s also 55 shade...
Double Wear Stay-in-Place Longwear Matte Foundation
As someone who deals with skin picking, this is the perfect powder to seal in my makeup after concealer as it blurs redness and irritation and leaves a completely smooth base.
Face Powder and Setting Powder
I find this concealer to be super hydrating and perfect for a cleaner look, very comparable to the Maybelline Fit Me, but I like the formula a little more and for coverage.
Under Eye Concealer Makeup - NARS Cosmetics
This primer is constantly raved about for good reason. Before doing full faces regularly, I found my foundation or concealer would slip or pill after a few hours, and that’s when I gave it a shot. It’s literally glue for your face. I love that it inc...
Power Grip Primer | Sticky Gel + Hyaluronic Acid | e.l.f. Cosmetics
This highlighter stick is perfect on any skin tone. Doesn’t look yellow or look unnatural, but it makes your skin glisten. The glassy pearl shade does pretty much exactly that, makes your skin look glossy. It can also be layered well with blush and f...
L'Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Le Glass Highlighter Stick
I’ve been using this Nyx Concealer Serum for months now. It applies very lightweight and melts into the skin and easily reduces my redness. The pump makes application a little more difficult, but other than that, I love this for a simple or full glam...
Bare With Me Concealer Serum | NYX Professional Makeup
Sculpted and Sunkissed Bronzers and Contours
This is the first Morphe product I’ve tried and I’m not disappointed. I use the shade “ignite”, and “Sudden Heat” is the perfect blend of warm and cool tones that I look for. I’ve never looked stripey or orange when using this. Applies super creamy a...
Sudden Heat Creamy Bronzer Stick – Morphe US
I use the shade Amber for this cream contour stick. It’s lasted me over a year and is one of the only cool toned contours I’m incredibly partial to. Leaves a perfect shadow for sculpting my cheeks, nose, and jaw. Super good for beginners to learn how...
Fenty Beauty Match Stix Matte Skinstick Fond de ten stick - Sephora
I love that this is a talc free bronzer at a low price point. A cheaper alternative to the Makeup by Mario bronzer! Also works well on cool toned skin.
Face Highlighter & Bronzer Makeup - Milani Cosmetics
Soft, Youthful, Radiant Blushes
The shimmer and gentle pop of light pink color to this blush makes my cheeks appear fuller and softer, with a glowing look.
The formula that Maybelline has just released in this new blush is extraordinary. The container and the texture makes it so easy for a brush to pick up straight from the container, and it appears super hydrating once applied with an amazing pigment. ...
This blush is always top of the list. The packaging is not only gorgeous looking, but the shade “Candy Clouds” has to be my favorite shade of pink that doesn’t look chalky, flakes, or that I have to reapply. It has a nice scent as well.
Cloud Crush Blurring Blush - Too Faced
Big Eyes and Voluminous Brows
I’ve been in love with this product and consistently have repurchased this. I love the fluffy look and the natural dark brown color that doesn’t get patchy or have clumps after brushing it through. Perfect after filling in with my brow pencil to ensu...
Brow Makeup: Long-Lasting, Waterproof & More for Brows | Benefit
This is a Marshall’s find! The thickness of the pencil makes it easy to make light strokes, and it comes with a spoolie that evens the dark brown perfectly. The color lasts all day, and I find it very comparable with the Benefit Brow Pencil.
Billion Dollar Beauty Universal Eyebrow Pencil - All Hair Colors
I purchased these at Burlington for the low price of around 5 dollars. The adhesive is very durable and sticks with just some seal after placing. Gives lots of volume and looks exactly like a salon quality hybrid set. Makes my eyes look a lot larger ...
False Lashes - Collections - Laser Lashes - JLASH
I can’t recommend this enough! It sells for the low price of 14$ and is the most high quality that I’ve tried. Makes the perfect warm dark brown look, and it’s also what I use for a stunning, sultry smoky eye! The pigment on these did not let me down...
This is one of my favorite mascaras of all time. My favorite benefit is how thick and full my lashes look after curling and a single coat. I never deal with much clumping or spider lashes when I’ve used this. My lashes appear so much longer!
L'Oreal Paris Original Voluminous Mascara
The main thing I love about this mascara is the length. It’s not a voluminous mascara, but it adds so much length and looks natural on the bottom lashes, especially paired with clusters. It has Vitamin B5 which nourishes and enhances your lashes and ...
Mascara: Length, Volume & Eyelash Makeup - Revlon
The price point of three eye brushes for 9$ is hard to beat. Very soft bristles and works nice with cream eyeshadow as well.
No Budge Brush Trio - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
The smooth glide tiny applicator on this eyeliner works so easily for wings and waterline. Color is vibrant and long lasting.
Pencil, Liquid, & Gel Eyeliner - Maybelline
Plump, Juicy Lips
First off, this lip liner works so nicely for everyday use. It lasts about 4-5 hours before I have to reapply. Glides on incredibly well. Makeup forever is also great for lip liners because of the inclusive shade range. I use the shade “Wherever Waln...
Lip Liner: Waterproof & plumping lip pencils MAKE UP FOR EVER
I am a huge fan of the elf Glow Reviver lip oil. The large doe foot applicator helps spread the lip oil super evenly. I typically will use this with a soft pinky mauve lip liner and give my lips a touch of extra pink with this. Smells like mint, and ...
Glow Reviver Lip Oil | e.l.f. Cosmetics
So far, I haven’t found a glossy lip color that beats Colourpop. The scent of this product is amazing as well! When putting it on, it has a delicious vanilla scent and fades to a still beautifully tinted lip.
