Porcelain Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation - Maybelline | Ulta Beauty
If you've got oily skin or dewy skin is not your thing. Opt for the matte finish of this foundation. Still sits beautifully on the skin and provides full coverage.

Sunscreen
Looks amazing on the skin!! Wear alone or under foundation. Protection that illuminates. A little goes a long way. I use 4 small dots to cover my entire face.
Suntouchable Whoa Glow Makeup Primer with SPF 30
This sunscreen is different because it's a serum instead of a cream. I typically apply this after moisturizer and before foundation. It's packed full of cerimides and has the skin benefits of a serum with the added sun protection.

Setting powder
This powder brightens, blurs, and smoothes the face. This has made a huge difference in my routine, even on mature skin. You can use each color individually or together to set your face.
FLAWLESS SKIN trio loose setting powder
This setting powder enhances your glow and won't cause caking. I use this on top of any foundation to set the face without dulling the skin. If you want even more glow, use on top of the e.l.f. halo glow skin tint!
Halo Glow Loose Setting Powder
This is great for oily skin. Use to set your foundation for the day. This helps keep that break through shine at bay.

Bronzers
This is an OG classic. Can't go wrong with this one! It glides on like butter. Just as the name says. Can be used alone or on top of cream bronzer to set it in place.
Bronzer
Blends easily into the skin. I am pretty fair skinned, and the shade "Hey Honey" gives me that perfect sunkissed glow!!
Cheek Kiss Cream Bronzer
I don't like using a sunless tanner on my face. Instead, I use this as my base or mixed in with my moisturizer to give me that allover tanned look.
e.l.f. SKIN Bronzing Drops - Rose Gold - 1 fl oz
Blush
This literally goes on like butter. Super pigmented with color options for every skin tone. I love wearing this alone or to set liquid blush. A little goes a long way with this blush!
Buttermelt High-Pigment Blush | NYX Professional Makeup
This blends like a dream. Subtle but buildable coverage. There are so many color options to choose from. I like to layer this product by setting it with a powder blush to enhance the color pay-off.
Blush Category | Vegan & Sustainable Liquid Blush and Powder Blush
Subtle and glowy, this blush has an illuminating effect. It's almost like a built-in blush and highlighter. I like to dust this on top of cream blushes to set and give an extra shimmer.
