my pores disappear when I use this. I have tried many foundations over this primer and never had an issue. truly makes such a difference in my skin!
Secure The Blur Makeup Magnet Primer
my favorite foundation EVER. the shade range is fantastic. it’s hydrating, full coverage, easily blendable. just perfect!
Complexion Enhancing Foundation and Powder
I love this concealer! it’s full coverage and so hydrating. it blends perfectly with the haus labs foundation! I definitely recommended setting this concealer with a loose or pressed powder to avoid creasing. once I set it, I see very minimal creasin...
this is the most expensive makeup brush that I own and it is worth every penny. it blends my foundation beautifully and I don’t even feel the need to smooth it out with a sponge when I’m done! amazing.
Foundation Brush | Hauslabs.com - HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA
this brush beautifully blends my concealer. I used to only use a sponge but since switching to this brush I see a huge difference in the coverage under my eyes!
Soft Bristle Concealer Brush - Tapered for Flawless Blendability
the BEST dupe for the haus labs foundation. I used this foundation all through high school and college. if you want full coverage on a budget, THIS IS IT!
Infallible 32 Hour Lightweight Fresh Wear Foundation
a dupe but BETTER! this primer is 1000x better than the MILK hydrogrip one. it makes my skin so tacky and glowy! I notice my makeup lasts longer when using this and it works great with the one size blurring primer. I recommend warming the product up ...
Power Grip Primer
the mac pot concealer is fantastic! (not the liquid, the cream one in the little pot!) I use this ONLY for spot concealing UNDER foundation. I would not recommended this for under eye concealer, I find it creases too much. but for spot concealing, th...
Best Concealer Makeup | MAC Cosmetics – Official Site
I will never use another loose powder! the shade range in this line is fantastic and the ultra peach shade helps cancel out my dark circles so incredibly. I do not crease AT ALL when I set with this powder! I recommend using a powder puff and lightly...
Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder | ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr
a GREAT dupe for the one size powder! I used this for years with no complaints, I just recommend using a light layer of this powder to avoid looking cakey. it totally prevents oil build up and creasing and it’s so cheap!
Fit Me® Loose Finishing Powder Face Makeup
this blush is absolutely beautiful. I have the deep berry shade and the peach shade and I absolutely love them. they are so buildable and leave the skin looking so plump and youthful. I recommend applying the blush on a brush first, then onto the fac...
Color Fuse Glassy Blush Balm Stick
this tarte powder blush is one of the first makeup products I ever used over 10 years ago… and I still use it today! it is incredible for beginners because it is so buildable and easy to work with! it has a slight sheen that leaves the skin looking s...
Amazonian clay 12-hour blush
I LOVE the tarte brushes. I use the bronzer, blush, powder, and eyeshadow brushes all the time! I don’t have much experience with the liquid/cream brushes, but I imagine they are just as good as the powder brushes. love these!!
Face Makeup & Body Brushes
this concealer is a fantastic dupe for many high end ones. the coverage is great and it doesn’t crease the way many other drug store concealers do. I only recommend the hydrating concealer (with the white top), not the matte one, as I found it to be ...
Hydrating Camo Concealer
GREAT dupe for the haus lab blush sticks. the shade range is beautiful and it is so easy to work with! I recommend either warming this product up with your hands and applying it with your fingers or using a sponge. I think this works better than appl...
Putty Cream Blush
if there’s one thing we did right in 2016 it was THIS! I still use my palette from 10 years ago (expired, I know…) and I love it just as much as I did then! I use this on my cheekbones, eyelids, nose, and collar bones for some extra glow!
Sun Dipped Glow Kit
this brow pen gives the most realistic hair-like look! I wouldn’t recommend this for beginners (try the other brow pencil I have in this list instead) as it dries down pretty quick. but if you have experience with brow pens or felt tip liners, I high...
Brow Pen
great for beginners! so easy to work with, long lasting, and super inexpensive! I still use mine on minimal makeup days!
Best Eyebrow Pencil - Instant Lift Brow Pencil
the best bronzing stick that I have ever tried! blends so easily, lasts so long, and the shade range is great! highly recommend!

I purchased this blush in the shade ‘rose n brunch’ a few months ago and fell in love with this formula. it really does blur the skin and leaves a beautiful natural glow. it is SUPER pigmented so a little goes a long way! I will definitely be purchas...
Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Flushed
another fantastic 2016 find that I still use today. my makeup truly lasts longer when I use this setting spray. it doesn’t dry out the skin like many other long lasting sprays, it actually helps my skin feel more hydrated! absolutely love this produc...
All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray
this is the only liner I use to tight line! I have worn this liner for 10 hours at a time with absolutely no smudging. I used the deepest black shade & the dark brown shade weekly. highly recommend!
Darkside Waterproof Gel Liner
worth every penny. my lashes look so long and voluminous when I use this product and I never see any flaking or smudging! there is also so much product in this tube! I was gifted this mascara a few months ago and it still hasn’t dried out.
Mascara - Eye Makeup, Waterproof and Volumizing - YSL Beauty
my favorite lip liners! I have so many shades and I use them every weekend. the tip on these isn’t necessarily “creamy,” but I think that’s perfect for a lip liner because it gives the most perfect and precise lines. highly highly recommend these!!
Lip Liner
an obvious one.. but the hype is REAL! I sometimes use just a lip liner and a light layer of this mask on my lips to go out. a little goes a long way and it is worth the splurge!
