Skin Prep
Literally will restart my whole routine if I forget this toner. Makes my skin so moisturized and make sure my makeup never peels or pills off of my face. (plus it helped with some of my breakouts)
BYOMA Hydrating Milky Toner - Dewy & Soothing
SOOOOO light on your face so your makeup doesn't feel heavy and gross. Love this product because I always feel greasy with makeup on but this makes me feel way less greasy. Also pairs AMAZING with the toner!
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Sunscreen
To be honest sometimes I don't do/ forget this step and I don't really notice a difference long term, BUT I do notice while doing my makeup I feel like it isn't sticking/blending into teachother or my face as well.
e.l.f. Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide Gel
I swear this is the product that just sets the tone for the final look. If you wanna be bronze you have to start with a bronze face. Not to mention on the days I don't want to wear makeup (which is often) I just put some of this on and I feel prettie...
e.l.f. SKIN Bronzing Drops, Pure Gold, 1 fl oz
I don't use this al over my face. I only put it in the place where I would put my bronzer to excentuate those areas for myself. However, I would never skip this step. I use shade 5 medium tan
This concealer is the best i've ever found. Genuinely brightens my whole face. As someone who used to be against concealer and wouldn't wear it this has changed my whole routine. SO easy to blend and looks SO natural. I use shade dune.
Merit Brush The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick
I like to use this concealer on the outer corners of my eyes to lift my face and it does the job PERFECT. I love the metal ball on the end that acts like a depuffer. The formula is super smooth and glides right on and super easy to blend. The coverag...
I use this stick to contour my nose and it was one of the best switches of my life. Using a small applicater to put my nose contour right where I want it is simpler and faster than doing it with a teeny brush that takes multiple tries. Super blendabl...
I like to layer this with my Merit bronzing stick and it turns out so good. This formula is smooth and suprizingly pigmented. It also last extremely long (like i've had mine for a year and it hasn't run out). I use shade sand.
Literally the best bronzer stick out there. SO pigmented SO smooth SO long lasting. Blends supppperrrr smooth and look so good paired with a cooler toned bronzer+blush. If I lost all my makeup I would imidietely repurchase this first.
Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer - MERIT
Powder
Blurs my face so good. I like a more matte look and this gives me that. Also doesn't make my under eyes cakey. 10/10 pan powder. I use shade translucent medium.
Vanish Airbrush Pressed Powder - Hourglass
This brightens the areas of my face I put it on so well. I find when I forget this step my makeup genuinly looks worse quicker. I use shade transucent.
Mini Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder - ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr
Powder products
I use this to set my liquid NARS blush. It is so pigmented and if you add too much it is super easy to fix. Hugley recommend. I use shade Dolce Vita.
Dolce Vita - 888 Blush - NARS | Ulta Beauty
This bronzer smells SO good. Like coconut islands. I use it to set my liquid/creme bronzer. With this I feel like you can never add too much. Very good product, affordable, and cruelty free. I use shade Bronzer.
Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer
Setting spray
I've gone through lots of setting sprays and this is definitly one I'd repurchase. I switch which ones I use a lot but for now this is a keeper. It nakes my makeup matte, and long lasting. I wouldn't say it is waterproof though so if your looking for...
1.0 oz All Nighter Waterproof Matte Setting Spray - Urban Decay Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
I saw Natali Tovar use this and immidietly tried it. It was so worth it. I change setting sprays all the time but I have never switched from this one (I usually use two). This melts all my makeup together, dissolves extra powder, and last literally f...
Skindinavia Bridal Makeup Setting Spray 2oz
Eyes
Best tubing mascara ever. Super affordable and long lasting. Doesn't make my under eyes black and comes off so easy. It has brown, black, and blonde but personally I use the black.
Only eyeshadow palette I own. Perfectly pigmented and super blendable. I don't use eyeshadow a lot but when I want to do something a little diffrent I always use this palette. Perfect for a brown smokey eye!
Born This Way The Natural Nudes Eyeshadow Palette - Too Faced
Never smudges and stays on all night. Super easy to apply and has a brush to blend it out if needed. I use shade the perfect brown.
Master Pigment Pro™ Eyeliner Pencil - MAKEUP BY MARIO
highlighter
Has the perfect applicater to guide the highlight. Affordable and many diffrent shades to choose from. I don't use a lot of highlighter but I like to add this to my nose. I use shade champagne glow.
maracuja juicy glow highlight
lips
So affordable. Never go anywhere without this lowkey. It stains and lasts for a long time. I like to use it as the ‘base’ for my lips. I use shade Beige Bait
This says its a plumping liner and it does tingle but I don't really see the plumping effect. I just use it because I love the way it is shaped and how you don't have to sharpen it you just twist it up for more product. Super smooth and looks good un...
Fill Em In Duck Plump Retractable Plumping Lip Liner - NYX Professional Makeup | Ulta Beauty
I use shade brown sugar. Tastes amazing and looks good with or without something under it. Smooth and not sticky. My fav lipgloss tbh.
Lip Butter Balm - Summer Fridays
eyebrows
Great clear brow gel. It puts your brows where you want them to be and they stay there. Doesn't turn crusty white and is easy to brush with.
I used to never fill in my eyebrows cause I thought it looked funny but this pencil is super light so it just makes them look fuller without looking darker.
