Base Products
These products are my go-tos for doing my base makeup! Usually a flawless, natural look!
The best o.g drugstore makeup! Most of the makeup I use is from them and it always has people asking what’s my hack to a flawless base. Love love love all the products they have! Recommending the entire brand because i absolutely cannot do my makeup ...
e.l.f. Cosmetics
This is by far one of the best foundations I have ever found. I do find it oxidizing on me a little bit but the formula is insane, i’ve never had any smile lines with this on!!
True Match Super-Blendable Foundation
Affordable and long lasting! It lasted about 3 hours with a single coat on my lips!
Sheer For It Blush Tint for Cheeks and Lips
I’ve been using this for like the last 2 years. There’s so much product in one, and my pores are hidden insanely. It’s great for a smooth, matte base, and a dewy one as well.
Poreless Putty Face Primer
Insanely great product for such a low price. They last me about 6-7 months. I do mix two shades to get my perfect shade, but i don’t see that as an issue for myself
Camo Color Corrector Concealer
This product is so so amazing. I literally have not used any other concealer in the past 5 years. I used both the matte and hydrating version, never had any issues with them. They lay perfectly over any primer and foundation that I use
Hydrating Camo Concealer
Very highly pigmented! It does dry down rather quickly so becomes a bit patchy but nevertheless, the quality of this product is so nice and is super long lasting
Camo Liquid Blush
This is absolutely my holy grail! I’ve bought at least 5 bottles of this in the past 4 years. My makeup literally has lasted 24 hours and more; the amount of product itself lasts a long time so you don’t have to purchase it often!
Stay All Night Mist - Makeup Setting Spray
I have two shades of this, there is a lot of product in them. Works best with a brush rather than sponge, I use it as a blush/highlight topper. Does emphasize my texture but I don’t really care for it
Monochromatic Multi Stick Makeup
THE BEST! i have been using this for the past 6/7 years and it’s one of the most slept on products. It’s super affordable ($4 now). only has two shades though so that’s a downfall
Prime & Stay Finishing Powder
this genuinely shook me. my makeup lasted 15+ hours with this!
Make It Last Original - Natural Finish Setting Spray
Eyes
This is my go to eyeshadow for a daily/casual look. The shimmers are so pretty!
Bite-Size Mini Eyeshadow Palette
This are sooo pigmented and the shimmers look like crystals. Highly recommend getting these palettes!!
Shop Eyeshadow Palettes | Bright, Bold Eye Makeup
this keeps my lashes curled! even with one coat after curling my lashes, they stay til the end of the night!
Incredi-curl Mascara
THE best eyeliner out there. my trusty sidekick for the past 8 years. the pigment and the precision is insaneeeee
Brush Tip Eyeliner - Expert Liquid Liner
a lot of their eye products are insanely pigmented, and i love how long lasting they are!
Eye Makeup: Brows, Eyeshadow, Mascara, Eyeliners
Lips
the pigment in these is insane. it goes on super soft and almost pillow like, and deposits color on the lips in literal seconds. lasts a while as well!
HydraPop Glossy Lip Stain
i have this in red and it’s by far the most gorgeous shade that stays forever. i’m talking 6+ hours INCLUDING eating and drinking
Color Sensational® Ultimatte Slim Lipstick Makeup
definitely long lasting and the pigment is insane
Lifter Liner Lip Liner Makeup with Hyaluronic Acid
i have this in two different shades and it is definitely creamy and glides easily! longevity is meh but for $2? i think i’ll keep the complaints to myself 😛
Cream Glide Lip Liner
I have the glimmer oil and it’s absolutely divine! it has a nice fresh minty smell and looks stunning on the lips
Glow Reviver Tinted Lip Oil
