✨ PRIME TIME
A glowy, grippy base is step one to any solid routine. These primers smooth out texture, blur pores, and give your foundation something to hold onto — so your makeup stays fresh all day.
Influencer favorite but drugstore??? Keeps your makeup oooonnn for the whole day I love this primer ever since it came out. It gives so much grip for the rest of the makeup so you can be sure it will last. It lasts me through the whole night out ever...
Power Grip Primer - e.l.f. Cosmetics

I love this primer so much since it came out. It gives so much grip for the rest of the makeup so you can be sure it will last. It lasts through the whole night out every time
Primer - Catrice Cosmetics
CT dupe! - easy way to get that glowy skin that every influencer has (also super affordable) + a bottle lasts very long
This section gives you the perfect skin finish without being high-maintenance. Foundations that blend easily, concealers that actually cover, and powders that lock it in — this combo keeps your base flawless but breathable.
The best drugstore foundation! Minimal oxidation and feels so lightweight.
True Match Super-Blendable Foundation - L'Oréal Paris
Love this concealer for my undereyes so much, it brightness them a lot and big plus it lasts all day. I use the pink one for under. Green is also super great for redish blemishes
Face Concealer & Color Corrector Makeup
This powder helps you blend all your makeup together and keeps it on all daay
Face Powder | Translucent, Finishing, Setting Powder - e.l.f. Cosmetics
☀️ BRONZE & BLUSH BABE
A natural sun-kissed glow and healthy flush are just a swipe away. Cream bronzers and liquid blushes add warmth and color without effort. Blend them with fingers or a sponge — they’re foolproof and gorgeous.
Tiktok favorite- for a reason. It blends so nice with your skin that you look like a sunkissed bronzy goddess. So easy to use and it is buildable so no fear of putting too much (as if that exists)
Melted Sun Cream Bronzer – www.catricecosmetics.com
Best liquid blush for cheap- buildable so you have control over how much you wanna be blushed each day!
Camo Liquid Blush | e.l.f. Cosmetics
👁️ EYE ESSENTIALS
This is where the eyes get their moment. From voluminous lashes to lifted brows and a little gel to hold it all in place, these products elevate your everyday eye game without needing a 10-step routine.
THE BEST mascara for starting your makeup journey. It comes in brown too if you're not into black mascara on yourself
A kiss of color or a bold, locked-in look — these lip picks have range. Whether you go for high-shine gloss or a vinyl lip that doesn’t budge, your lips will stay juicy and defined all day.
If you follow any makeup influencers- chances that they use this lip liner are pretty big- and you can also have it;)
Rimmel Lasting Finish 8HR Lip Liner Pencil
I swear by this lipstick. My favorite is the shade 95 captivated combined with the Rimmel cappuccino that I also put the link for. It really doesn't move after you put it on, you just have to make sure you shake it a lil and you're ready to go
Super Stay Vinyl Ink Long-Wear Liquid Lipstick - Maybelline
Okay so I actually swear by this lipgloss, it's been my favorite for ages (not an exaggeration). Just tust me and try it and you'll see why I'm obsessed. It gives unreal shine and it's not sticky!!!!
