5-Minute Makeup Routine
Just enough without feeling like I'm actually wearing makeup. I love using this because it adds some glow so I don't look as exhausted as I actually am.
e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter, 3 Light/Medium, 1.06 fl oz
This stuff is the best I've found. It gives a bit of a tint without being overwhelming. It's not super thick or sticky. It works great by itself or on top of another lip product.
e.l.f. Glow Reviver Lip Oil, Rose Envy, 0.25 fl. oz.
I love a tiny baby wing even when I'm doing something quick with my makeup. It just helps me feel put together. This is perfect for that and it does great at staying in place even when it's hot out.
e.l.f. No Budge Retractable Eyeliner, Black 81330, Washable, 0.006 oz
When I'm doing a quick makeup look, I like using a powder bronzer. This stuff is my favorite. The color is beautiful, the pigment is fantastic, and it has the tiniest amount of shimmer.
NYX Professional Makeup Buttermelt Powder Bronzer, All Butta'd up
Pigment. That's all I have to say. This stuff will last me forever because you need so little of it. It blends in with the bronzer perfectly. It's my favorite blush at the moment.
NYX Professional Makeup Buttermelt Powder Blush, for The Butta
I just got this the other day and I am OBSESSED. I unfortunately fell victim to the microblading trend a few years ago and now I have to fill in my eyebrows all the time or they just look bad. This helps my eyebrows look natural without filling them ...
L'Oréal Paris Faux Brow, Waterproof Lightweight Hair-like Eyebrow Color Pen, Dark Brunette, 0.04 fl oz
The only eyebrow gel that actually holds my stubborn AF eyebrow hairs. If I'm in a huge rush I just use this on it's own to give my brows a laminated look because..old microblading..
e.l.f. Cosmetics Brow Lift, Clear, Eyebrow and Eyelash Enhancers, 0.31 oz
I am super picky when it comes to mascara. I don't have time to worry about it smudging all over the place throughout the day. And I love me some big lashes. This gives me the pigment, the volume, the lift. One of my favorites!
L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Panorama Volumizing and Lengthening Mascara, All Night Black, 0.33 fl oz
Depending on what I'm doing for the day, I'll sometimes use this in place of another skin tint. I'm finally at the point where I'm trying to take care of my skin. This stuff really works! Never had a sunburn on my face once I started using it. Best p...
CeraVe Tinted Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 for Face with Sheer Tint
✨Mom Glam✨ Walmart Edition
If I'm going full glam and I want a bit more coverage then this is my go to. It doesn't feel super thick and doesn't make my skin look cakey. It stays all day and wears so well throughout the day.
Maybelline Super Stay Super Stay Up to 24HR Skin Tint with Vitamin C, 118, 1 fl oz
This blush stays all day. Doesn't fade or disappear. It blends so well. But again, pigment. You don't need much!
e.l.f. Camo Liquid Blush, Comin' in Hot Pink, 0.13 fl oz
As someone who isn't a makeup artist, this stuff works great. It's easy to use. Pigmented but not too pigmented that it's difficult to work with. It blended so well and is light enough that I forget I'm wearing it!
I'm not someone who uses concealer often. I honestly have never found one I actually like that isn't either too thick or causes a ton of creasing. I'm so glad I found this stuff! It works so well especially under my eyes and covering any redness I ha...
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Instant Eraser Multi Use Concealer, 115, 0.2 fl oz
I'm not sure when setting powder really became a thing honestly but this is the first one I used that I actually like. I've tried a few but they left my face feeling SO dry and cakey. This is great and easy to use. I like it with either a smaller bru...
Wet n Wild Photo Focus Loose Setting Finishing Powder, Translucent Matte, 0.7 oz
This did not budge once at my SIL's wedding. I cried, I laughed, I danced, I did a lot of sweating and it still was perfect when I went to remove it. It's super pigmented. I will say, it's probably not the best for a beginner. Just like with most liq...
e.l.f. H2O Proof Inkwell Eyeliner, Film Noir, 0.11 fl oz
One of the best nude-ish lip colors that actually stays! It has more of a matte finish/feel without feeling like there is zero moisture on my lips. I did add some lip oil on top which, in my opinion, made it even better!
I love my Elf Glow Reviver Lip Oil. And this one with the shimmer is even better! It looked amazing on top on of the liquid lipstick. Even with just a lipliner and this, it really helps to elevate a look.
I loved using this to add a bit of shimmer to my eyes! And you can't beat it being under $2!
wet n wild Color Icon Multi-stick - Pearl
Still one of my favorite bronzers I've ever used. The pigment is fantastic. It blends like a dream. And it smells good? Weird but it makes me want to use it lol
NYX Professional Makeup Buttermelt Powder Bronzer, All Butta'd up
Lasts all day. Blends so well. So, so pigmented. It has a bit of shimmer that gives it a little extra something.
NYX Professional Makeup Buttermelt Powder Blush, for The Butta
Filling in my eyebrows got a whole lot easier once I found this. It still looks natural but way more put together.
L'Oréal Paris Faux Brow, Waterproof Lightweight Hair-like Eyebrow Color Pen, Dark Brunette, 0.04 fl oz
Helps keep my stubborn eyebrow hair in place. Gives my eyebrows a little extra volume.
e.l.f. Cosmetics Brow Lift, Clear, Eyebrow and Eyelash Enhancers, 0.31 oz
One of the best I've found lately. No smudging, no transfer, all the volume, all the lift!

This is a great setting spray. Nothing fancy but it does work really well.
