Brushes
No point in applying make-up if the brushes aren't good. Here are some recommended brushes I like to use.
You need a good brush set because blending is essentials this kit gives you all the brushes you will need to complete your look. As I said, we are keeping it simple with this look so don’t do too much. Use the brushes for their intended purposes.
Makeup Brush Sets
This brush set gives more bang for your buck. At $30, you get a good variety of brushes, especially for a “no makeup” makeup look. I have had this set for at least 6 years. Though I have added to my collections I still use these. With proper care and...
Ultimate Makeup Brush Set & Travel Roll - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
This is a great set to have for the girlies that like to get into the eye detail. Though I am not one of them (because I have really small eyes and the shadow just bleeds over), I do have this set and sometimes, (when I am feeling brave, lucky, and l...
Eye Essentials Brush Set - ULTA Beauty Collection | Ulta Beauty
This is very important. You need these sponges for a few steps. When you are baking, I think it's best to dab with these and when you are blending if you are not comfortable with the brush or feel like it's not working the way you want it to, you wil...
Power Pocket Puff™ - beautyblender | Sephora
Primer
Priming is something that is often skipped, don't make that mistake. Set your look up for success throughout the time you wear it. Or it will look all caked up by the end of the day/night.
This is for the girls that know a thing or two about something. The ones that have a whole skincare routine (pre and post make-up) These are for the girls that have their ish together, okay! No but this a more expensive brand that I only recommend yo...
1.7 oz Vitamin Enriched Face Base Moisturizer & Primer with Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Acid - BOBBI BROWN | Ulta Beauty
This is what I use when the weather is warmer. Yes, I double sometime triple up on my SPF, (argue with your momma) but I love how this primer doubles as a sunscreen and primer. It leaves my face slightly sticky and ready to suck the “foundation” in s...
1.5 oz Mineral Mattescreen SPF 40 Sunscreen - Supergoop! | Ulta Beauty
Standard and quality primer. E.L.F is that affordable girlie, if you didn't know. Great product for if you are starting out with makeup and you are trying to gauge how your skin reacts.
Universal Sheer Liquid Poreless Putty Primer - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
Color Corrector Concealer
This is not to be confused with regular concealer! This is to blur the blemishes PRIOR to applying your makeup.
Okay so you are going to want to do this right after you prime your face and before you start your makeup. Please choose the one that goes with your undertone. This will help with concealing any blemishes, dark spots and pimples.
SEPHORA
Collection | Best Skin Ever 8HR Color Corrector
Same note as the other post but wanted to provide another good and affordable brand that has a couple more color options: you are going to want to do this right after you prime your face and before you start your makeup. Please choose the one that go...
Lavender Corrector HD Pro Corrector Concealer - L.A. Girl | Ulta Beauty
Here is another VERY affordable color corrector option with additional colors. (I had to add it when I saw the blue) Same rules apply from my other post. If you scroll through the pictures, you will also see a chart giving some insight on what color ...
Blue Camo Color Corrector - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
Foundation
Not a foundation but works just as good if not better for a natural look, argue with someone’s mother!
TBH I'm not a true foundation girlie. I like this because it evens my skin tone without feeling heavy and it has SPF. I have one for the summer and for the winter and I recommend this brand. She offers a matte, glow, and sparkly/ illuminated one. Thi...
Laura Mercier Makeup
So previously I mentioned really liking this tinted moisturizer because it evens my skin tone without feeling heavy and it has SPF. This is the matte finish one and I go between this and the illuminated on when the weather is warmer and depending on ...
Tinted Moisturizer Oil Free Blurred Matte SPF 30 - Laura Mercier | Sephora
What I really love about my girl Laura is that she understands skin tones. There is a WIDE variety in my opinion and I love that for all of us. As I mentioned before, I have 3 of these, one that give a sparkly illuminated finish, one that give a matt...
Long-Wear Tinted Moisturizer Natural Dewy SPF 30 with Hyaluronic Acid - Laura Mercier | Sephora
This one is a bonus recommendation- again I am going to preface that I am not a foundation girlie. (officially) That being said, I do stand behind, beside and for this one. BABY this is the one I have out when my man takes me somewhere nice and I've ...
B30 LES BEIGES Healthy Glow Foundation Hydration and Longwear - CHANEL | Ulta Beauty
Brows
The brows really help shape the face, here are some of my recommendations to achieve a desired brow look.
I swear by this brand! Like a nice thick (sometimes unkept looking) brow! You can line it and blend with concealer to clean it up, but yeah no one wants scarce brows. Don’t forget this with the no makeup look.
Best Brow Gel
Now this one may seem a little old school, but it gets the job done! This was the first brow gel I used when I was learning how to shape my eyebrows. Now I use it with a combination of other things to achieve the unkept look I go for. You use this wi...
DIPBROW® Waterproof, Smudge Proof Brow Pomade - Anastasia Beverly Hills | Sephora
Honestly, it's at this moment I am realizing I use certain brands for certain pieces of my make-up- and it is very consistent! Kind of love that though. Anyway, Anastasia is my girl when it comes to eyebrows clearly. This is great for when you are do...
Mini Strong Hold Clear Brow Gel - Anastasia Beverly Hills | Sephora
Contour
I love contour because it makes it look like you did more than you actually did for this type of look lol! Just make sure to blend it well.
A contour stick is still necessary for this look. Only because it helps shape your face/give a more chilled look. Rule of thumb is to go a shade or two darker than you are but pro tip, don’t use to much and brush it in UPWARDs. Do under your cheekbon...
Cream Contour Stick - SEPHORA COLLECTION
One word for this- BUTTER! I had to come and update my list after trying this one as it is my new favorite. Since I am a proud “no makeup” makeup girlie, I HAVE to nail my contour and sometimes it can look like you just have lines on your face (and y...
Precision Sculpt Shaping Balm Contour Stick - HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA | Sephora
This palette is for if you have a little more pocket change to splurge and if you have a little experience. (bonus, can be used as other things than concealer) The main thing about this is that it's a powder so you have to apply it in layers and ensu...
Contour Kit - Anastasia Beverly Hills | Sephora
This one is a bonus because as you know I love my girl Anastasia and she is going to always get a highlight when she does her thing. This product is amazing, I actually get it in my skin tone and use is a color corrector/ or extra bronzing in the win...
Cream Bronzer - Anastasia Beverly Hills | Sephora
Concealer
You can get a color correcting concealer to apply prior to your foundation. Use a color that compliments your undertone (for example, I have a golden undertone so I use an orange color correcting concealer.) they have pink, purple green, etc.
Other people may argue against this, but this is what I do! After your “foundation” do a couple of strokes of this under your eyes to reduce bags, smooth your under eye. Then blend it in with a beauty blender. Pro-tip: line the middle of your nose, a...
Concealers
Same note as the other concealer but wanted to provide a more affordable alternative that is also good quality.
Mini Radiant Creamy Concealer - NARS | Sephora
This is my fancy concealer. I use this when I use my Bobbi Brown and Chanel products. Same affects but the quality is noticeably better and the finish is smoother. Recommend as your special occasion concealer.
BACKSTAGE Concealer - Dior | Sephora
Baking
baking is optional but does wonders if done right. Here are some options for brightening or a flushed look.
Yeah Laura did her big one with this! I swearrrrr by it. Apply under eyes after concealer let it sit for like 1-2 minutes and brush it off it’s literally that easy. This helps with the creasing under the eye over time.
Translucent Loose Setting Powder - Laura Mercier
This gives for the same note as the other, just wanted to provide a more affordable option.
Microsmooth Multi-Tasking Baked Face Powder - SEPHORA COLLECTION | Sephora
I would use this if you want to lighten up the middle of your face. but instead of letting it sit on your face for a while then brushing it off, it's best to apply light layers with a brush and blend and add more until satisfied. Some people may call...
The Best of the Best Full Face Baked Powder Palette - Laura Geller | Sephora
Bronze | Blush
For a bits of glitz and glam, brush your cheeks, forehead and tip of nose with this.
Okay this is good for if you want to have a bit of a glow. A little goes a long way with the is product specifically. Lightly dab your brush and brush it on to your cheekbones for a bit of glamour. When choosing your shade, make sure it compliments y...
Bronzers
Yeah, so this bronzer eats. That's all I have to say just get it. Pro-tip, apply before your fake or real foundation and it literally just shines through. You're welcome.
Face Bond Luminizer Waterproof Glow Drops for Face + Body - Urban Decay | Sephora
We need to talk about how pigmented this is. Ugh I am obsessed. So, I've mentioned before that I have this orangish golden undertone. The orange one here is chef's kiss! it's my favorite, if you have a skin tone or undertone similar to mine, please g...
Higher Standard Clean Cream Blush with Vitamin E - LYS Beauty | Sephora
Obsessed with this buttery piece of goodness. I like to have a flushed look sometimes, so I use the berry under my eyes, and I instantly feel like an 80's pinup model. So lippies and bronzers are my favorite if you haven't guessed so I will likely ke...
Mini Multiple Soft Blur Blush Stick Set for Cheeks, Eyes, and Lips - NARS | Sephora
Eyes
The smarter not harder way to do the eyes!
This brand is perfection. If you don’t like using eyeshadow because it’s messy or you just don’t have the steadiest hand (like myself) try this out!
Being that I’m a natural look girlie, I don’t go crazy on the eyes. And I’m simply not great at it… so this work perfect because you literally cannot mess it up. I love this brand because it’s buttery and allows you to be more accurate with where you...
Eyeshadow Sticks
I tend to lean away from powders because they end up bleeding over my very small eyes. (as I've mentioned before) These sticks and cream-based eye shadows have been great for me so I can avoid that. I recommend this pack as they complement each other...
Mini Creme De La Creme Caviar Stick Eyeshadow Trio Gift Set - Laura Mercier | Sephora
If we are going to do a powder palette, it's going to be Juvia's Place every time because THE PIGMENT. this is a greart palette and it gives you a lot to work with.
Culture Palette - Juvia's Place | Ulta Beauty
Lippie
Whether stick or gloss, matte or shiny, you can never go wrong with a nice lip combo. Just don’t forget your liner!
Love this lip gloss as a base or just to wear alone (with a lipliner of course) I recently got "cold hearted" and am obsessed.
Lip Gloss
Liner liner liner (sigh 💕) it’s just sexy so do it, okay?! Great b/c you also need it or your lip color will bleed. I love a dark brown lining but rule of thumb go medium brown if you more fare skin and so on.
Lip Liners
EVERYONE NEEDS A RED LIP, YOU HEAR ME! Sorry for the yelling, but I feel very passionate about it. It's just sexy and you need to be able to pull one out, it's your secret weapon. I like Fenty's options you just have to find the shade that works for ...
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Lipsticks
Now this is definitely a multi-use situation. I'm placing it here with lips because the red crayon, I need to get that for my lippy, like now! It can also be used for contouring, bronzing, and eyes.
Artist Color Crayon Waterproof Multi-Use Stick
Fenty is my go to for a red lip because she just gets my tone. I've been getting her red lip since she had RiRi Woo at Macy's, okay? And I'm loyal! But I wanted to add this here because it is on sale and its limited edition for those that want to tak...
Icon Velvet Liquid Lipstick - Fenty Beauty by Rihanna | Sephora
This is my new favorite because it has that icy hot feeling. Can't get enough of it honestly.
Gloss Bomb Heat Universal Lip Luminizer + Plumper - Fenty Beauty by Rihanna | Sephora
Another red lip option because you need it, damn it.
Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick - SEPHORA COLLECTION | Sephora
Lashes
Lashes really help bring a look together, especially if going for a more natural look.
I love this brand because they offer the curly tip. It’s like a mascara and curler in one. Makes them longer thicker and curler. This is a gem I highly recommend especially for this natural look lol
Thickening Mascaras
So I like this one because of the curve of it- its more curved than my others. I use this one the most out of the other ones I have.
Lash Sculpt Lengthen and Lift Mascara - REFY | Sephora
This, like the others curve but I wanted to offer a more affordable alternative.
Mini MakeWaves Lengthening + Volumizing Mascara - Tower 28 Beauty | Sephora
I don't typically do have lashes, but when I do I use these. The already have the tweezers so you don't have to worry about getting them and they don't irritate my eyes like others do and that's likely because I don't have glue stuck in my eyes from ...
Velour-Xtension Self-Stick Lash Clusters - Velour Lashes | Sephora
Though it's not mandatory, I do like to prime my lashes. I have found they end up looking juicer and longer when I do. Pro-tip: this can also be used to prime your brows.
Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum for Thicker, Fuller Looking Lashes & Brows - The Ordinary | Sephor
Setting
Finishing spray is essential. Choose based on the type of skin you have or the desired look. Recommend having one dewt and one matte.
Sot I do swear by NYX finishing spray. Why? Because its affordable and it works! This is the matte, I've have a link for the dewy one as well.
2.02 oz Matte Finish Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray Vegan Formula - NYX Professional Makeup | Ulta Beauty
Yes honey, we love both the matte and the dewy they are both necessary if your skin is in between. But if you lean one way then get the opposite. For example: if you typically have dry skin, get the dewy and if typically oily, get the matte.
2.02 oz Dewy Finish Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray Vegan Formula - NYX Professional Makeup | Ulta Beauty
The Sephora brand is also really good. Setting the face doesn't need to be complicated, just use what works and this one does the trick.
Makeup Setting Spray - SEPHORA COLLECTION | Sephora
Yes, I do believe in keeping it simple with the setting spray, but I will say this one is my favorite. It is pricier and I do not use it all the time. Definitely not bang for your buck, but definitely really good quality.
1.0 oz All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray - Urban Decay Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
