Foundation
Love this one for full coverage. It’s not too cakey, great for events and photos. Plus has skin care in it to help prevent breakouts!
Foundation Makeup | Liquid & Powder ...
The best glow with lightweight feel. I wear this under foundation if I need a little glow boost but mostly on its own on low maintenance days
Halo Glow Liquid Filter Complexion Booster
Helps reduce redness and a little bit goes A LONG WAY. Love this to mix with foundation or even on its own for lighter makeup days
Love this stuff for a lightweight foundation. It does get a little dark when it oxidizes so a lighter shade than you think you need may be perfect
True Match Hyaluronic Tinted Serum - L'Oréal Paris
A must have! Buildable coverage that can go from light to full coverage easily. Gives a matte but dewy look and really does last through the day.
Super Stay 24-HR Glowy Skin Tint with Vitamin C
Concealer
So good for first layer of coverage for blemishes. The skin matches are so great and have a wide variety. Reminds me of a putty concealer texture wise
Concealer Makeup & Color Corrector
Great concealer for blemishes that still hydrates your skin, doesn’t end up too heavy on the areas and gives great coverage.
Bare With Me Concealer Serum | NYX Professional Makeup
Really great under eye concealer. I use this on blemishes too if I’m in a pitch or short on time!
Conceal + Perfect Longwear Concealer
Setting Powders & Sprays
Obsessed with this one… I get the pink and seriously makes my skin transform to have such a glow without being too matte and drying
Halo Glow Loose Setting Powder
Such an underrated setting powder for the price! Obsessed with the coverage and how great it looks on the skin
Photo Focus Loose Setting Powder | Translucent
One of my favorites. I will put this on before powder and it sets everything in place. Doesn’t make me break out and doesn’t have the fake hairspray smell.
Stay All Night Mist - Makeup Setting Spray
Pre-Make Up Skin Care
Hydrating is a must for my makeup to prevent breakouts. I love this set and it gives such a nice glowy finish that lasts all day
Holy Hydration! Hydrating Skincare for Dry Skin
Love love love this stuff! So hydrating and helps achieve such a great glow and base for make up
Hydrating Milky Toner with Snow Mushroom - 12 oz.
Great gel moisturizer if you like some thing a little lighter under make up! I usually use this in the summer time
Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan
A little heavier moisturizer for pre makeup. I use this one in the winter time or if my skin is extra dry!
Moisturizers
Pre make up glow that’s literally unmatched and I would definitely consider it a Drunk Elephant Dupe!!
Pre make up glow that’s literally unmatched and I would definitely consider it a Drunk Elephant Dupe!! Even a thirst drop from Elf dupe that’s a little less in cost!
