When I started doing makeup in 2007 I thought the only way to do it was with dark brows, smokey black eyeshadow, a little bronzer, no foundation, no blush and no lip products. I copied how my older sister did her makeup and years later realized that ...
An affordable glowy base! Great size and you do not need to apply a lot. It gives a beautiful glow that last throughout the day. Oily skin will need to repowder - which I usually do in my T zone areas.
I swear by this finishing powder! It blurs like no other! It makes your pores disappear. I apply it after my makeup is complete in my T zone areas or where my biggest pores are. I love it and definitely miss it in my routine if I were to not have it!...
Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder: 2 Medium
My favorite everyday blush! The shades are super wearable. I honestly hardly reach for any other blush and if I do it’s usually in addition to this one! Only con: It does fade throughout the day but it fades beautifully. If you want it to last all da...
Cheek Pop™ Buildable Powder Blush | Clinique
Pat McGrath Divine Blushes are so pretty! Not only great medium buildable pigmentation but also long lasting! My fave colors are Fleurtatious and Nude Venus. I love my pinky neutrals!
BLUSH - PAT McGRATH LABS
This concealer is creamy and buildable with medium to high coverage. I absolutely love the creaminess! It kind of reminds me of the og Maybelline fit me concealer but much better. A little goes a long way as well. I do set it with hourglass veil tran...
Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer - Hourglass Cosmetics
My go-to lightweight loose powder! Not fond of the heavily baked under-eye look and this doesn’t do that. Just keep in mind under-eye care/skincare is important! I do recommend using a color corrector for under-eyes bags prior to concealer and this p...
Honestly, these are one of the best affordable lip liner at the drugstore. Many colors and nudes to choose from. I like that it is a wood sharpened pencil. I wouldn’t say they last the longest but affordability and color selection trumps that!
Lip liner Makeup - NYX Cosmetics
My go to lip liner in shade “Smokey pink” for a my lips but better look and shade “Dimitri” for a light pink nude look! Perfect amount creaminess without sliding around. Also a pencil sharpen form which I love. Con: Not the most long lasting but love...
Ultra Suede® Sculpting Lip Pencil - makeup by mario
The best mascara for volume! No flaking and separates lashes beautifully. Honestly an OG favorite for a reason. I have not found an affordable dupe yet. I keep going back to this mascara because it never disappoints!
Better Than Sex Volumizing Mascara - Too Faced
Beautiful glow infused with skincare to brighten your skin over time! Also long lasting. Pairs well with my wet n wild stick foundation. I love!!
Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide
Okay! I get the hype! Smooth and blurring under the eyes. Need I say more? Try the travel size and you’ll run for the full size in no time! (The travel size still packs a lot!) I like pairing with my Charlotte Tilbury finishing powder.
EASY BAKE LOOSE POWDER Banana Bread
My new go to - everyday since it came out. Great for everyday look when you still want a little glam! I wear this to work along with the matching concealer. Buildable to medium coverage but I don’t mind one layer with a little of my skin peeking thro...
Soft Glam Satin Foundation - Medium Coverage
Medium coverage and creamy. Does not crease! I pair with the matching satin foundation. Great pair and both affordable! Perfect for everyday.
Such a beautiful formula. Blends well and does not take away any makeup underneath off. Only con is I haven’t tried more colors! Still digging through what I have left in the shade “baby” I honestly need more shades!
