Skin First

Easy Face

Skin First

These are the skincare products that actually work for me — high-quality, well-loved, and worth every drop. They keep my skin feeling healthy, balanced, and glowy without needing a 10-step routine.

This is my go-to morning cleanser — it feels so refreshing and never dries me out. It smells clean (like green juice!) and wakes my skin up without stripping it.

Kale + Spinach Superfood Face Cleanser | Youth To The People

I’ve gone through multiple bottles of this — it’s gentle, doesn’t irritate, and gives me that bright, even glow. I put it on right after I wash my face and it just soaks in.

1.0 oz Vitamin C Serum - Mad Hippie | Ulta Beauty

When I want something a little more potent, I grab this one. It feels like skincare and serum in one — my skin looks more alive and smooth every time I use it.

Glow Maker Vitamin C Serum

I love this moisturizer. It’s lightweight but feels nourishing, and it sits perfectly under makeup or SPF. My skin just feels healthy and balanced when I use it.

Plant Ceramide Rich Moisture Cream - Naturium | Ulta Beauty

This is one of the only mineral sunscreens that doesn’t leave a white cast on me. It’s super lightweight and never greasy. I wear it daily, even when I’m not wearing makeup.

Superlight Sunscreen SPF 30

If I want to look more put together with less effort, this is what I reach for. It gives a little glow, a bit of tint, and full protection — basically my lazy-day hero.

Sunvisor

I look forward to using this. It melts off all my SPF and makeup without making my skin feel stripped. Plus, it smells amazing and turns cleansing into a little nighttime ritual.

Living Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover

This one’s pricey but so worth it. It’s one of the few retinol products that doesn’t make my skin peel or freak out. I wake up with smoother, calmer skin every time I use it.

Gentle Retinol Night Serum

When I want something more affordable or my skin is feeling sensitive, I reach for this. It’s super gentle but still helps with texture and clarity over time.

Press Restart

This is my go-to for sealing everything in. I use the light version when I want hydration without heaviness, and the rich one when I’m feeling dry or dull. Always wake up glowy.

Weleda Skin Food Ultra-Rich Moisturizer Cream - 2.5 fl oz

When my skin looks dull, this is my fix. It makes my face feel instantly smoother and gives me a little post-facial glow — and it only takes two minutes.

Yerba Mate Resurfacing Energy Facial | Youth To The People

I use this when my skin’s feeling dry or a little irritated. It’s cooling, calming, and smells like real roses — super gentle and great after retinol nights.

1000 Roses Instant Soothe & Smooth Sheet Mask

Easy Face

My makeup routine is all about enhancing, not masking. These are the elevated staples I reach for when I want to feel pulled together fast — no makeup skills required, just reliable formulas that do the work.

This is what I reach for when I want my skin to look fresh and lit-from-within before I even touch foundation. I wear it alone on no-makeup days or under skin tint when I want that dewy finish to peek through.

Glowy Super Gel

When I need my makeup to stay all day, this is what I use. It gives my skin a smooth base without feeling heavy, and the niacinamide helps calm down any redness or texture.

e.l.f. Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide - 0.811 fl oz

I love how this feels like skincare but still evens everything out. It’s super glowy (in a good way), and I use it when I want SPF, light coverage, and hydration all in one step. My skin always looks better when I wear this.

Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Skincare Foundation

On days I want something lightweight but a little more matte, I’ll grab this. It melts right in, feels super breathable, and gives just enough tint to blur things out.

Tinted Serum — Vitamin C + Aloe Vera

This is my go-to when I want more coverage without losing that skin-like finish. It feels like a serum but gives enough to smooth out uneven spots — I wear shade Very Light Neutral 100 and it blends perfectly.

Revealer Skin-Improving Foundation SPF 25 with Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide

This is one of those under-the-radar products I keep on hand for quick days. It’s light, creamy, and gives just enough glow to make me look alive.

Pacifica Alight Multi-Mineral BB Cream - Shade 3 - 1 fl oz

This is the only concealer I’ve used that actually feels hydrating. I use it under my eyes and around my nose, and it brightens without creasing or caking — a total staple.

Revealer Super Creamy + Brightening Concealer with Caffeine and Hyaluronic Acid

This is probably my most-used makeup product. I wear the shade Clay, and it blends so naturally into my skin — not too orange, not muddy. Sometimes I cheat and use it as eyeshadow too when I’m short on time.

Sun Melt Natural Cream Bronzer

This one’s super sheer but still gives dimension. I use it when I want a subtle sculpt without needing to be precise.

Sculptino™ Soft Matte Cream Contour + Bronzer

I swipe this on my cheeks and lips, and I’m out the door. The texture is so creamy and forgiving — I don’t even need a brush. It makes me look like I got a full night of sleep.

Multi-Stick Cream Blush + Highlighter + Lip Tint

I reach for this when I want that soft, non-glittery glow. It looks like light hitting my skin in the best way — just a little tap on the cheekbones and it’s enough.

Living Luminizer - RMS Beauty | Ulta Beauty

This is the only eyeshadow palette I use regularly. The shades are so wearable and the texture is buttery. I can do a full look or just swipe one shade and be done.

The Necessary Eyeshadow Palette

This is my holy grail mascara. It never flakes, lifts my lashes beautifully, and washes off with water. I don’t even think about switching — it’s that good.

Limitless Lash Lengthening Clean Mascara

This gives my brows shape without making them crunchy. It tints, lifts, and actually has ingredients that help them grow — it’s the one brow product I use daily.

Air Brow Tinted Clean Volumizing Eyebrow Gel

This gloss lives in my bag. It’s not sticky at all and feels more like a lip treatment. The sheer color is just enough to pull everything together.

ShineOn Lip Jelly Hydrating Non-Sticky Lip Oil
