I actually got the mini travel size first to test it out and fell in love with it! This primer has a bit of shimmer that literally make your skin look like its glowing. This primer is so smooth on the skin while still providing a foudnation to make s...

Got a mini teste of this in one of my Sephora orders and ended up loving it! It has a slight blurring effect but my favorite part is that it also serves your skin by having vitamins!

This is the primer you are goign to use if you want your makup to alsts you 24 hours! When I know I have a long night, I'll mix this primer with the Rare Beauty one for the slight go and extra support!

The application on this product alone is the reason you should get it! The facial roller is to help reduce puffiness and enhance facial contours. This product is a niacinamide-infused serum and if its one thing i love, is combining skincare + makeup!
REFY Glow and Sculpt Face Serum Primer with Niacinamide

This product was gifted to me and since I had never heard of it, I was super hesitant. I'm so glad I took a chance on this product because genuinely, this blurs my face and sets the best groundwork for the rest of my makeup. Honestly, Lancôme product...

CONCEALER

Concealer has always been a must in my makeup routine & sometimes all you need is a little extra coverage to feel your best. These have delivered for me every time!

This was an impulsive purchase I made that was recommended to me by a friend and let me tell you, thank God I did! This has become my every day concealer at the moment. Great product and amazing coverage

I love this product but I did accidentally get a really light color so I use it more during the winter or mix it in with another darker color. Product lasts a really long time and has great buildable coverage! Highly recommend
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer with Hydrating Medium Coverage

SETTING POWDER

The trick to a good setting powder is making sure it doesn't get too caky or heavy. These have been my favorites that help me lock everything in place while controlling shine!

 
Malena Pochat profile picture
This OG setting powder is beloved by everyone for a reason. This product helps my concealer last all day and gives a bit of that blur affect when pressed into the skin right! This formula is non-cakey and great for all skin types!
Translucent Loose Setting Powder - Laura Mercier
 
Malena Pochat profile picture
This powder is definitely a bit more intense than the Laura Mercier. I would say this provides a more matte finish while still blurring pores and fine lines. It is a very buildable formula so its great to layer on at night and ease up during the day!
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder

BRONZER

A good bronzer can completely transform your look, adding warmth and dimension in seconds. These are the bronzers I reach for to achieve that natural, sun-kissed glow year-round!

 
Malena Pochat profile picture
This cream contour is great for beginners (like me), blends easily, and has great pigment. Highly recommend if you’re on the hunt for a new contour/bronzer product!

Malena Pochat profile picture
I’ve been using this bronzer for over 6+ years & I genuinely always find myself gravitating towards it! Maybe its the two tone or the light shimmer it has but its the perfect buildable bronzer !!
Sun Bunny Natural Bronzer

BLUSH

If I had to pick one product to always wear, it would be blush! Instantly bringing life to any makeup look, I will always be on the market to try new blushes

MASCARA

Mascara's are personal and hard to find a good one that's universally loved.. That being said, these are my favorites that give me volume, length, and curl all in one!

LIPPIES

Your makeup isn't finished until you got your lips on! These lip products are my go-to's for any occasion. Let's face it, lip products are probably the most addicting beacsue you can never have enough! 

 
Malena Pochat profile picture
Highly recommend the shade: Wherever Walnut 🥜 This is seriously the best everyday neutral color (with a hint of pink). My lipsticks/liners dont normally last me too long for some reason but this one stays on for hours !! 💋

SETTING SPRAY

Setting spray can make all the difference in how your makeup wears throughout the day, and I learned this the hard way! These picks keep my look fresh and in place from morning to night.

If you know me, you know i love to mix skincare and makeup so I'll just leave you with three key ingredients in thsi product to expalin why I love it:
- Polyglutamic Acid: Helps to instantly hydrate and plump the skin. 
- Arginine: Helps to promote skin firmness, hydration and support the skins barrier. 
- VP/VA Copolymer: A light film former which helps to keep your makeup in place.

The hype on this product is real, if you finish your makeup with this, it will stay in its fricken place! I love to mix this in with a more dewy setting spray since this does give you a more matte finish
