My favorite beauty recs
25
items This is a list of my holy grail items, things I've been using for years and repurchased multiple times. None of the gimmicky items or fast fashion of beauty products. Tried and true, and well loved items I would recommend to my friends and family.
My go to for moisture and luxury
Lip Comfort Oil Hydrating and Plumping Lip Oil
Tried and true. I’ve been using this for 5-10 years. There’s so many colors and I think I’ve gotten my best shade and undertone match with this line over any other. It doesn’t cake on my skin, and does decent with my very dry skin. I do have combo sk...
Luminous Silk Perfect Natural Glow Foundation
I exclusively use this pencil and think it stays on well. You can get a more defined look, or stick to something natural. Definitely would recommend! It’s my holy grail eyebrow item
Brow Pencil
My holy grail concealer. This has been my go to and I haven’t needed to search or fuss with any other brand. I’ve used so many beforehand and I keep coming back to this one. Blends well with my foundation and doesn’t cake or settle into fine lines.
Luminous Silk Concealer - Buildable Coverage - Amani Beauty
Packs a bold look, which I prefer over the Dior blush where you’re building for the color. A light hand or blend does the trick. Looks lovely on the skin!
Make Me Blush Powder - Makeup - Blush & Bronzer
I’m a sucker for Armani products, clearly. Blends well. Gives a good color pay off. Easily my go to!
Luminous Silk Creamy Bronzing Powder - Bronzer
Refreshes my skin. I use it before and after makeup application. Settled the powders you apply. Love it! It doesn’t set makeup like urban decay if that’s what you’re looking for.
Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray
Makeup is staying and that’s what you need on a sweltering hot day or long day. Doesn’t mess the makeup up. Definitely recommend for the no budge needs
All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray
I love these wands. Easy to use, a lot goes a long way. Only gripe is the packaging is only ok.
Liquid Blush: Wands, Tints & Kits
Love the glow that this gives. Easy to apply and blend. Again, not my favorite packaging.
Hollywood Beauty Light Wand: Rose Gold Liquid Highlighter
Love the contour wand. Easy to use, and great for traveling. Applied and blends smoothly. Packaging is not the best but something I’ll endure for the product itself.
Hollywood Contour Wand - Light-medium - Liquid Contour
I love the color pay off, the hydration, smooth application and packaging works well. Definitely my go to!
Hydrating Lipstick Balms - Hyaluronic Happikiss
Ok, hear me out. Pricey, absolutely. In this day and age, is it worth it - YES, it's so beautiful on the skin. For a textured skin girl, this blush does a beautiful job, adds a glow and color, and easy to blend. I would die on this hill, get it. Also...
Ambient™ Lighting Blush
Absolutely love these eyeliners. I have dry, sensitive eyes and these don't cause any burning sensation or irritation to my eyes - which is very important and a deal breaker for me. There is beautiful color options, and they do a great job of staying...
Victoria Beckham Satin Kajal Waterproof Eyeliner
This is by far one of my favorite scents. I am a serial user of perfumes and discarding them a few months later, however, I have had this for 5+ years and still love using it. I love the scent, I think its timeless. I know there's plenty of dupes, bu...
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum | Saks Fifth Avenue
This was my wedding perfume, so I have a soft spot for it. It is a very unique, beautiful smell that is tied to a beautiful day for me. I was in search for something different, not so sweet or florally, and gave me that ohhh I feel expensive feeling....
Parfums de Marly Delina Eau de Parfum | Saks Fifth Avenue
I'm still in search of the ultimate mascara. This one has been doing the job, doesn't irritate my eyes (I have chronic dry eyes). Does add some drama to the lashes, which I love. Doesn't clump or shed on the skin.
Diorshow 24h Buildable Volume Mascara
Lasts hours on my eyes. Doesn't bleed if you let it dry upon initial application. Black is BLACK, which is nice.
Intense Black Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner - Stila | Ulta Beauty
Love this foundation. Blends beautifully on my dry skin, doesn't break me out and doesn't oxidize or pill on my dry skin. It also doesn't get oily on my skin, since I can lean as combination skin.
Medium 16 Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Foundation - PAT McGRATH LABS | Ulta Beauty
I love a cream or liquid blush, I think they are so easy to use, especially on the go or on vacations. I enjoy this one and can pile on itself to get a more pigmented look. Easy to blend on the skin.
Fleurotique Divine Cream Blush: Legendary Glow Colour Balm - PAT McGRATH LABS | Ulta Beauty
So absolutely pricey for eyeshadow. If you're an adventurer with makeup, wanting to pursue unique looks, without a doubt get this palette, or any Pat McGrath eye palette. It may not be for an every day user on a budget. But it really blends well, loo...
Mothership IX: Huetopian Dream - PAT McGRATH LABS | Ulta Beauty
A nice gloss with color. It isn't a necessary purchase, but applies beautifully and not sticky.
Prima Donna Lust: Gloss - PAT McGRATH LABS | Ulta Beauty
This woman has never steered me wrong. I love her makeup application style, and have learned so many tips along the way. Give her a watch if you want to explore celebrity makeup from a seasoned makeup artist!
My Ultimate Guide to Bridal Makeup
Oldie but a goodie! I think it makes my lashes look full, and doesn’t flake. The formula also doesn’t dry out quickly like some others do. Not sure if the shape of the brush does anything special but I like the effect it has on my lashes.
Too Faced Better Than Sex Volumizing Mascara
I was recommended this eyeliner by a Sephora employee years ago. I initially thought this liner would be cheap in comparison to the lux brands they carry, but was pleasantly surprised. It performs just as good, if not better than the other brands. Bi...
SEPHORA COLLECTION 12 Hour Colorful Contour Pencil Eyeliner
