you think it's not worth it. you think it's overhyped. until you try it. and your makeup is flawless. the way it doesn't lift any product??? insane. zero patchiness, ever. i'll never go back
Beauty Blender
most powder puffs just absolutely don't do the job. too fluffy, way too much fallout. pick up way too much product, a huge mess. not this one. it's the only powder puff i use anymore
Power Pocket Puff™ Dual-Sided Powder Puff for Setting and Baking
i'd had my eye on this curler for a while, and when a cheap eyelash curler BROKE OFF my lashes on one eye, i decided it was time. i'd never imagined i'd recommend a $25 eyelash curler ...... but here i am, telling you that if you're gonna invest in ...
Eyelash Curler
priming + setting
the holy grail - for good reason! apply and let it sit for a few mins and get tacky, and your makeup will stay ALL day. sweatproof, cryproof, all day stay.
Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gripping Primer
one of my fave setting sprays to ever exist. been a cult fave for years and it's ALWAYS held up. use after your cream products and again after your makeup is finished and your makeup will NOT move
incredibly fine-misting setting spray. this does, in fact, help leave you looking so airbrushed!! all-day hold!! this stuff is a holy grail
Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray
brows
my favourite tinted brow product for when you just wanna add a little colour and structure !! great for natural looks or can be coupled with other products for a more bold brow! i personally have super thin, sparse, blonde brows and the difference th...
Brow Gel & Wax
if soap brows are your look, abh is your girl. your hairs will—and i mean this—NOT budge after this dries down. get a bit on a spoolie, run the spoolie back and forth through your brows to coat all the hairs, and then brush to desired shape.
Brow Freeze
if you want a product that is gonna both fill in and add a brush-stroke look, this is for you!! you can draw in some hairs or use it for really beefing up the body of your brows
Precisely, My Brow Pencil

Correct & Perfect All-in-One Color Correcting Palette

use it under your makeup for a little extra glow. use it as a highlighter. wear it alone for an extra dewy base. a great multi-use product that i reach for almost every time i do my makeup !!
Saie Glowy Super Gel | All-Over Luminizer | Clean Highlighter

Born This Way Flawless Coverage Natural Finish Foundation
fave skin tint!! such a beautiful, natural finish. this one takes the cake for me
Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint — 20
this is the ONE and ONLY concealer that ACTUALLY conceals blemishes and breakouts. a cream concealer just moves around the imperfections, but this pot concealer just rests nicely right atop any texture and blurs EVERYTHING for me. i use under my foun...
Soft Matte Complete Concealer
the most luxurious, silky concealer i've used. why's it called vanish?? bc that's what's gonna happen to your pores. GONE. creamy, buildable, perfectly blendable, and when coupled w a finely-milled pressed powder, your skin will look FLAWLESS
Hourglass Brightening Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer
a light, buildable coverage contour. slightly cool-toned, not too grey at all! best for a light, natural look just bc it isn't as pigmented as some other brands, but it's certainly beautiful!!
Hollywood Contour Wand - Light-medium - Liquid Contour
if you want a blush that's got pigment, THIS is for you!! a little goes a long, LONG way w this brand. and she dries QUICK, so get to blending!! the colours are so pretty, and my personal fave is encourage, a nice mauvey pink!

i've used these for probably 8+ years now. genuinely so creamy and easy to use and blend. on days when i don't wanna wear makeup but just want a little colour, these are perfect
Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Stick & Lip Color
a little goes a long, LONG way w rare beauty. beautiful shades, very pigmented, dries down QUICK for me, so get to blending!! if you're like me and you love a rosy champagne shade, reach for their "mesmerize," you won't be disappointed!!
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Liquid Luminizer Highlight
face(powder)
this is the most finely-milled powder i've EVER used. for the most flawless, smooth finish!! and the colour combos are handy for different uses! i personally enjoy the blue/green/purple/white to negate redness in my skin when i'm wearing minimal make...
Prisme Libre 4-color Loose Powder
finely-milled and gives the most beautiful finish!! i've literally never received more compliments on my makeup than when i wear this with the hourglass concealer

Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder: 2 Medium
a fave of mine for years now!! not too warm, adds a beautiful bit of colour back to the face; can certainly give a nice natural warmth!!
Hoola Matte Bronzer powder bronzer for face
i LOVE having a duo of colours, esp the sand castle + mojito duo!! this highlighter is STUNNING and perfectly pigmented. i add a small amount on a fluffy brush and hit my high points, and it lasts all night!! you could light up a dark room w this one
Killawatt Foil Freestyle Highlighter Collection

THIS is that girl. this is THE lip plumper of all lip plumpers. nothing else works so well, and you adjust to the potency quickly. if you want plump lips ASAP, this is for you.
