Good Apple Full-Coverage Transfer-Proof Serum Foundation - KVD Beauty | Ulta Beauty
Urban Decay's new foundation is IT, girl!!!!! You need this if you are active, oily/combo, acne-prone and just a bad B who doesn't like to touch up their makeup throughout the day. Highly recommend!
5 Face Bond Self-Setting Waterproof Foundation - Urban Decay Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
If you are a fan of a lightweight, full-coverage, matte foundation Juvia's Place is the best I've used yet! It is a dupe for Tarte Amazonian Clay, except I feel that it is more lightweight and velvety on the skin. This will have your complexion looki...
300 Gabon I Am Magic Velvety Matte Foundation - Juvia's Place | Ulta Beauty
This foundation is liquid gold. It's radiant, medium buildable coverage is perfect for those who enjoy a long lasting skin-like finish to their base. This is a personal all time favorite foundation!
Mont Blanc Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation - NARS | Ulta Beauty
Concealer
This is my personal favorite right now. It is extremely lightweight & med/full coverage! You literally cannot feel it on your skin no matter how many layers you do. It does not crease & wears beautifully throughout the day with little to no t...
N3 True Match Radiant Serum Concealer - L'Oréal | Ulta Beauty
I love this concealer for mature skin as it is very waxy & thick and wont settle into fine lines if applied in THIN thin layers & allowed to dry down before setting with powder.
20.0 Medium Bye Bye Under Eye Full Coverage Anti-Aging Waterproof Concealer - IT Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
I love this concealer so much that I will often just wear it as a foundation. It is medium coverage but buildable to full coverage. It's extremely lightweight & has a healthy, skin-like finish. It's great for dry/combo skin as it doesn't catch on...
Light Bare With Me Hydrating Face & Body Concealer Serum - NYX Professional Makeup | Ulta Beauty
And for the BEST of the best, Nars pot concealer. This is the one you want if you need to do some serious coverage like acne/acne scars, facial hair, a lot of discoloration. Best applied with a small precision brush and gently patted in with your fin...
Vanilla Soft Matte Complete Concealer - NARS | Ulta Beauty
Blush
This liquid blush is amazing! It's very pigmented, blendable & AFFORDABLE! It is very comparable to high-end brands.
Dusty Rosé Camo Liquid Blush - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
I am obsessed with this blush! I use it on almost every single client. It is highly pigmented, neutral toned & very blurring. They have different finishes available, but my favorites are the matte series. A little bit goes a LONG way!
Ginger Blush Color Infusion - Laura Mercier | Ulta Beauty
Contour/Bronzer
These are the best cool-toned contour sticks I have ever tried. They are creamy, blendable & pigmented. They are also very blurring. I love under painting with these! Also, for my extra pale girls shade Fawn is the perfect bronzer shade!
Fawn Matte Cream Contour & Highlight Sticks - Anastasia Beverly Hills | Ulta Beauty
Nyx is a great dupe for the Anastasia plus it has wayyyy more shades. Honestly, the quality is near identical! I would just say that ABH is better when it comes to blurring, coverage & creaminess. The lightest shade is perfect for pale skin as it...
Universal Light Wonder Stick Cream Highlight & Contour Stick - NYX Professional Makeup | Ulta Beauty
If you are more warm/warm-neutral undertones or like a little more warmth in your base for the summer, this bronzer stick is amazing! It is highly pigmented & blendable. I love the coverage & blurring effect. The undertones are not too orange...
Sundown Maneater Silk Stick Bronzer - Tarte | Ulta Beauty
I love these bronzer powders to top off a full beat or just to wear on their own. The shade range includes cool, neutral & warm tones which I love & the shade range is pretty good. If you are of darker complexion, I have a better option for y...
Golden Light Bronzer Powder - BOBBI BROWN | Ulta Beauty
This formula is amazing & the shade range is too! The darkest shade is a perfect neutral bronzer/contour shade for those with darker complexions. Fenty did it again with the amazing range, quality & quantity of product. A little goes a long w...
Thick Mint Sun Stalk'r Instant Warmth Bronzer - FENTY BEAUTY by Rihanna | Ulta Beauty
Set & Prime
Miss Charlotte knew what she was doing when she created this. I know, the price point is high BUT it is the best thing to use when you have dry, textured, or mature skin. It is hydrating, plumping & has a radiant, healthy finish.
1.7 oz Magic Water Cream Gel Moisturizer with Niacinamide - Charlotte Tilbury | Ulta Beauty
This is my second step in makeup skin prep, after cleansing & exfoliating if necessary. I will gently pat the skin dry with a clean towelette & mist this over the skin. I follow up with the Rose Moisturizer (I will list after this) & then...
Rose Hydration Pore-Minimizing Mist - fresh
This is my 3rd step in my skin prep routine before a makeup application. Applied after the Rose mist listed immediately before this! These products are pricey, but worth every penny when you see how amazing your base looks. Apply your water cream aft...
Rose & Hyaluronic Acid Lightweight Moisturizer - fresh
If you love a good pore filling, line smoothing primer that grips your makeup in place all day THIS BAD BOY will do just that! This was an accidental discovery, but I am forever grateful. Firmly pat a small amount of this anywhere you have texture, p...
Anti-Wrinkle Miracle Worker+ Line Correcting Primer - Philosophy | Ulta Beauty
Everything Eyes
This is my favorite palette for that office goth, soft goth or SULTRY look. It's also great for just a neutral no makeup-makeup look! The versatility of this tiny palette is amazing.
Sultry Mini Eyeshadow Palette - Anastasia Beverly Hills | Ulta Beauty
This primer is great for a bold eyeshadow look as it creates a nice base for bold color payoff on any skin tones. However, if you are of a darker complexion and are trying to go for a more neutral look, mix a bit of your foundation shade in with this...
