Foundation
One of the best drugstore foundations. There is a matte and dewy version, but I like the matte one better. A lot of shades you can chose from!
Photo Focus™ Foundation- MATTE
Blends seamlessly into the skin, providing a smooth and even canvas for your other products. The foundation stays on all day, without setting into your fine lines. I love it so much
SurrealSkin® Foundation
It covers all my redness, makes me look less tired and refreshed and at the same time still looks like skin
Flawless Lightweight Liquid Foundation
Concealers
I have very dry under eyes and this concealer hydrates like no other. Does not crease!! the coverage is amazing for a concealer serum and it has so many skincare ingredients. The darker shades can be used as a contour/bronzer shade
Bare With Me Concealer Serum | NYX Professional Makeup
A must have if you deal with dark circles. Amazing coverage, variety in undertones, and provides brightness. A bit on the heavier side
Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Concealer
My fav for the hot days. Sooo hydrating and the coverage is really good and buildable
Revealer Concealer
I love this one! Hydrates my skin so much
True Skin High Cover Concealer
Contour and Bronzer
Has a bit of a grayish and cooler undertone so it actually looks like a shadow. Blends like a dream with a beauty blender or a brush, doesn't matter. That's how perfect it is
Sculpting Touch Creamy Stick Contour
I have it in the shade ‘10 Lighter skin’. The bronzer is neither too dark nor too light. Great for people who don't like creamy bronzers
Essence Contouring Duo Palette Matte Brown
Milk contour stick is perfect when I'm going for a quick natural look. I love the formula; it blends beautifully on top of foundation or just over my primer.
Sculpt Stick Cream Contour Stick
Blush
This product is really hard to find, but it really is my holy grail. It is excellent for summer because it is really lightweight but still stays on
GOLDEN ROSE Miss Beauty Stick Blusher
This blush is sheer, yet buildable! It's weightless and lightly moisturizing and creates a watercolor effect! In my experience, as a person with very dry skin, the color lasted on cheeks for 5+ hours.
Flush Balm Cream Blush
These are dupes for the NARS blushes! Bella bellini shade is an almost exact dupe id say. Luminoso is also very pretty if youre looking for something more orange-y
Baked Blush
Setting Powders
This will blur imperfections and smooth your skin. I love to use this when I want a naturally radiant finish but still need that aspect of a light setting powder!
Veil™ Translucent Setting Powder
The best brightening powder on the market for sure!!
Creaseless loose setting powder
I've already talked about this one, for me personally, it's even better than Huda's
Translucent Loose Setting Powder
Brows
The best when you add some water and give it a little mix
Catrice Brow Fix Soap Stylist - Makeup
The best one!! SO precise, and doesnt smudge and make your brows too black
Brow Wiz
If you are not really good at making your eyebrows look natural, then this is going to be your best friend! This is so pigmented that you really don't need to fill in your eyebrows. You can just brush this gel through your brows and you are good to g...
DIPBROW® Gel
Eyes
Soo good, pigmented and blendable. 100% worth the money
Dior Backstage Eye Palette: Multi-Use Eye Makeup Palette | Dior US
The BEST palette ever for everyday looks, but also a hust have for the best smokey eye where ever you go!! Truly a dream or any makeup lover
Major Dimension III Matte Eyeshadow Palette
Very precise eyeliner in 6 different colors, easy to apply, has a thin brush and does not smudge.
Epic Wear Metallic Liquid Liner | NYX Professional Makeup
I use the shades ‘Milk’ and ‘Cottage Cheese’ if I feel like using white liner instead of black!
Jumbo Eye & Eyeshadow Pencil | NYX Professional Makeup
Lips
This is the best lip gloss I think I’ve ever bought. I have this in the shade coconut and sesame and the colors are SO pretty. And it’s not sticky at all and lasts a while before having to reapply. I will for sure be purchasing more colors
ShineOn Lip Oil Jelly
A sheer and nourishing lipstick with a satin finish
Signature Lip
I think no words can describe how much I love this and the Rimmel Cappuccino
Pillow Talk - Lip Cheat - Nude Pink Lip Liner Pencil
Setting Spray
Urban Decay is often considered the holy grail of fix. This is one of my favourite setting sprays. I've tried a lot of brands but I keep going back to this one.
All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray
My second favourite. Literally can't live without this
Make It Last Original - Natural Finish Setting Spray
