Going to work, but only have ten minutes?
Going out 🌟
I am picky when it comes to makeup and I go through seasons of bold and calm looks! For this season I am in my neutral phase and these are my go to’s for a night out!
This is a really good sticky primer, most of the time I put my skincare care regimen with my Cerve on first before this otherwise it will dry my skin and make flakes
Power Grip Primer
This is the priciest makeup product I use and it is worth every penny! It not only last a long time for me, it last on my face a long time too. With good prep it gives full coverage and is perfect for withstanding the Texas humidity. I have a mixed o...
Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation
I use this blush because it is super pigmented and since my Estée Lauder foundation is more matte, it’s easier for me to apply powder blush! This has lasted me over a year and I use the color cheer and I don’t need highlighter due to the luminance!
Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush
I was gifted this bronzer and I use the diffused bronze light! I usually use this as a contour and it adds dimension and glow! It is on pricier side but it has lasted me over a year and I will use it as an eyeshadow for a fast quick look!
Hourglass Bronzer
I use this palate for my more neutral look and since I have green eyes, the pinks and browns make them pop!
Morphe Mini Palette
I’m a cat eye girl and this is my go to for a precise and bold look! Stays on and doesn’t bleed!
Elf Liquid Liner
I love this mascara because it helps curl my lashes and it stays on very well despite being non waterproof. I personally am not a waterproof girly because it’s hard to scrub off and I prefer to keep my lashes! Gives me a nice finished look and I only...
Maybelline Sensational Washable Mascara
These are the only lashes I use and I use them for multiple uses! It gives a nice natural full long look! It’s a subtle extension that goes well with any look!
KISS Lash Couture LuXtensions – Royal Silk
This is the only lash glue I use due to its strength and clear drying finish! It has aloe in it and comes off easily for me in the shower and doesn’t pull my eyelashes out when I take my extensions off
Eyelash Glue
This lipstick is on the pricier side but has lasted me over a year! It has a pretty shimmer, in the shade “Thanks it’s Mac” and the perfect medium nude. It also is glossier and I prefer it over matte lipstick!
“Thanks it’s Mac” Lipstick
I use this liner 04 “natural” before my “Thanks it’s Mac” lipstick and they fit perfectly! It is super creamy, long lasting, and the perfect nude for any nude lipstick!
Milani Natural Lip Liner
To top off my lip look, I put this gloss over my Mac lipstick and it does have a plumping effect that does not burn and embraces your lips perfectly! Put this over any nude to make it pop and keep your lips moisturized
Milani Lip Shimmer
This is a cheap great setting spray and in my opinion the only one that is effective with keeping my makeup on! It has a “sticky” feature but I do not feel sticky nor does it leave sticky residue.
Elf Setting Spray
I love a cheap quality find and since I my eyebrows are darker I try not to over do them, so I typically use the gel portion to lift my eyebrows up and then pencil in a few lines if I’m missing pieces!
Elf Gel & Eyebrow Pencil
Going to work, but only have ten minutes?
I use this for any occasion that I need a quick face glow and get on the road! It is super dewy and luminous, however I usually put my Morphe setting powder on top because I have oily skin in some places and by the end of the day it can make me look ...
Halo Glow Liquid Filter Complexion Booster
I usually set this on top of my Elf halo glow to set it due to my oily skin, but it also works great with any dewy foundation that you need a little added setting!
Morphe Setting Powder
This is the mascara I use for every occasion! It brightens my eyes up and in a rush only one application does wonders!
Mascara & Mascara Primer for Length & Volume
I use these drops if I’m not using my Elf Dewy Foundation! It gives a beautiful glow and moisturizes my skin! It is on the pricier end, however has lasted me a long time!
D-Bronzi™ Drunk Elephant Drops
