Face
A wonderful primer with SPF, could double as your main SPF on “makeup no makeup” days with a little powder and concealer
ciele cosmetics | Acne-Safe SPF Makeup
This mineral SPF tinted foundation gives truly a skin like finish.
ciele cosmetics | tint & PROTECT SPF 50+
The color biscuit is a wonderful shade for fair completions, not so cool it looks ashy but not too warm/orange either.
I get the mini size. They last forever and a little goes a long way!
Westman Atelier | Face Trace Cream Contour Stick
I use this as a bronzer and the Westman as a contour
Charlotte Tilbury | Sun-Kissed Glow Cream Bronzer
I never thought I would see the day I gave up shape tape. I find this concealer actually provides even more coverage. I do find it needs to be set with powder for best results.
My favorite setting powders are Elf and Giorgio Armani.
My winter sha...
Tarte | maracuja creaseless full coverage concealer
I use the color light pink.
Honestly might like this better now that Givenchy has reformulated the original PRISME LIBRE loose powder
e.l.f. Halo Glow Loose Setting Powder - 0.24oz
The OG formula of this was UNREAL I still like this but the elf one is just as good in my opinion.
Givenchy | PRISME LIBRE 4-COLOR LOOSE POWDER
This is my favorite pressed powder
Charlotte Tilbury | Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder
A classic for me. I discovered this in college and haven’t looked back. I use the light on the daily and bronze when I have more of a tan
Physicians Formula | Butter Bronzer
I use this on my eyebrows and for flyaway hairs. It is not the strongest hold but it accomplishes what I need and feels weightless in my eye eyebrows.
MCoBeauty | Mini Hair & Brow Magic Wand
Cheeks
This is an easy to blend formula, very user friendly. My favorite shade is petal.
I get the mini size. They last forever and a little goes a long way!
Westman Atelier | Baby Cheeks Blush Stick
The OG version of this was my go to for years. My more recent obsession is also a classic, NARS blush in color orgasm
Bare Minerals | Talc Free Powder Blush & Bronzer Blush
I use this over cream blush or on its own. I love the glow it gives without looking like highlighter
NARS | Blush - Orgasm
Eyes
I don’t speak in absolutes often but this is literally the only eyeshadow pallet you need.
The formula is unmatched and the colors are perfect. No random shimmer or bold color that won’t be used. It is compact and won’t take up an entire drawer in y...
NATASHA DENONA | Original Mini Eye Sculpt Eyeshadow Palette
This is my second favorite behind a discontinued eyeliner. It does not transfer for my oily eyelid girlies
Tarte | double take eyeliner
Tarte has my favorite brown mascara. I do love the ease of removing a tubing mascara.
tartelette™ tubing mascara
The applicator had two sides for different uses. This does not give me crazy length but it does a great job at separating my lashes. I like how natural it looks. This would be my holy grail if it came in a rich brown.
MERIT | Clean Lash Mascara
Lips
I should really gate keep these and I would if I didn’t already own every color.
These will a little gloss over them 👩🍳💋
COVERGIRL | Outlast Vegan Lip Stain
Super sticky in the best way. It lasts forever. My favorite colors are Hot Toddy and Blushing Margarita
Buxom | Full-On Plumping Lip Cream
I should also gate keep this.
The color happy is my perfect nude. I love this over a lip stain for a subtle gloss or just on its own for a little color.
e.l.f. | Hydrating Core Lip Shine Makeup
This was previously called the “Hangover Rx pillow balm” I have repurchased no less than 20 times.
Original is my favorite, you can wear this on its own as a lip treatment or on top of color as a gloss.
It lasts extremely well on your lips. I do ...
Too Faced | Pillow Balm Hydrating Lip Treatment - original
Tools
This is by far my favorite beauty tool. It’s an all in one for me with liquid and cream products
Real Techniques Makeupsaver Sponge
I purchased this in high school and have never owned another blush brush
Bobbie Brown | Blush Brush
Some days I use the real techniques beauty blender and some days I prefer a brush
Hourglass | Concealer Brush
I have a real techniques angled bronzer brush that has been discontinued for years. This is the most similar one I can find. Angled brushes are my favorite way to apply bronzer!
M241 Angled Powder Bronzer Brush - Morphe
Dome brushes are my favorite way to apply liquids. I use the same one for foundation, liquid/cream bronzer, liquid/cream blush.
Morphe | M104 Domed Foundation Brush
I love a fluffy detail brush for setting my under eyes with loose powder and for setting blemishes when I am not doing a full face of makeup
HOURGLASS - Nº 14 Detail Setting Brush
I feel like powder puffs are honestly all the same. I like these for setting my under eyes and around my nose.
ULTA Beauty Collection - Powder Puff Cloud Trio
This is literally so extra but I LOVE it and let’s be honest...it is the only Hermès item I will likely ever own.
