Face
Look, I know it's a bit pricey for a primer but I cannot recommend this enough. This literally makes my skin glow and my makeup stay in place without any patches or rubbing off. It's perfect and I love it so much.
Yves Saint Laurent: Touche Eclat Blur Face Primer
It's all in the name. Get this if you want to glow.
DIOR: Forever Glow Star Filter Multi-Use Complexion Enhancing Booster
I've used this on both my face and as body shimmer, and it's so gorgeous. It's not overwhelming and gives that perfect touch of shine.
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna: Diamond Bomb All-Over Diamond Veil
I initially bought this because of the hype, and it did not dissapoint. I don't know if there's ever been a more perfect setting powder. It lasts FOREVER and makes you look like a real life filter.
We've all heard about how great this setting spray is, and the rumors are true. It has held my makeup in the rain, and that's all I need to know to buy this again and again.
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr: On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray
I bought this foundation a few Sephora sales ago (because $70 regular price HURTS), and will restock every time. She is beauty and grace, you should definitely give it a try because it's a flawless foundation.
Armani Beauty: Luminous Silk Perfect Glow Flawless Oil-Free Foundation
I love Milani blush so much- whether it's the baked blush or the rose powder blush. There's a good range of color, they're pigmented, offer a nice glow, and are so affordable.
Milani: Baked Blush or Rose Powder Blush
It’s a bestseller for a reason. It’s so pigmented, has some of the prettiest pink shades I’ve ever seen, and you get such long use of the product.
I bought the holiday gift set a couple of years ago and LOVED how natural and smooth these blushes are. While the product is small, it lasts forever and is my favorite blush to just throw in my purse for touch-ups.
Merit Beauty: Flush Balm Cream Blush
Despite me not liking the packaging, this one still makes the list because of how smooth and creamy it is. It leaves the skin dewy and glowy, and gives such a natural look.
Saie: Dew Blush
This serum is a staple to me. It makes my skin dewy and hydrated especially in the cooler weather. I love how makeup layers on top and will continue to repurchase this.
MERIT: Great Skin Instant Glow Serum with Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid
These highlighters are the perfect blend of radiant without being too overwhelming. The colors are beautiful and have such a pretty shimmer finish.
DIOR: Backstage Glow Maximizer Face Palette
Eyes
I run to this eyeshadow whenever I need to sparkle a bit. It's so beautiful and is long-lasting.
Urban Decay: Moondust Eyeshadow
I cannot even explain how gorgeous these eyeshadows are and how much I love them. They go on so smooth and are so easy to blend. Definitely recommend grabbing a few of the matte and shimmer options.
Armani Beauty: Liquid Eyeshadow
These colors are everything I ever want in a palette. Literally perfect for every ocassion.
MAKEUP BY MARIO: Ethereal Eyes™ Eyeshadow Palette
These cream eyeshadows are so dreamy! They have the perfect glitter finish and even though it's not a wide shade selection, the one's that are available are so beautiful. I personally like Smoke the best!
Hourglass: Scattered Light Glitter Eye Shadow
There was a time in my life when I didn't use eyeshadow primer, but now that I do, I could never go back. Get this to make sure your eye makeup is long lasting and doesn't crease!
Urband Decay: Eyeshadow Primer Potion Tube
Lip
These lip glosses are so beautiful! They're hydrating, not sticky, long lasting, and give the perfect amount of subtle shimmer.
Bobbi Brown: Crushed Oil-Infused Gloss
These lipsticks mean so much to me. The colors are beautiful and the product is so smooth and so pigmented. Love these!
