Primers
Primers I love with different functions for different needs :)
FOR GRIP + OILY SKIN
Best gripping primer for oily skin that I have used so far. It is very thick and sticky so make note of that, but your makeup will last ALL DAY!!!

YOUR SKIN BUT BETTER
I truly love this. It is a light-medium coverage that looks very natural. She is a bit on the pricy side of affordable though, so I will be on the hunt for something cheaper!

LIGHT-MEDIUM COVERAGE
Is anyone really surprised I'm recommending the Bare With Me Concealer? I doubt it :P This is one of my favorite concealers that I have tried so far. It is so creamy, natural, and versatile. I love it for my under-eyes but sometimes I like to use it ...

FULL COVERAGE + CC
Old reliable. I loved Instant Age Rewind in highschool and I love her now. So versatile due to the different shades – they even have CC! I hear a lot of complaints about the sponge applicator, but I personally adore it. I don't see the difference bet...

FULL COVERAGE
If you know me from TikTok, you know the original Camo Concealer is not my thing. The HYDRATING Camo Concealer, however, is my savior! It is perfect for spot concealing, under-eyes, and full glam looks. Both my sister and I are obsessed (I stole hers...

Pressed Blushes
My favorite pressed blushes so far!
BUILDABLE COVERAGE + GLOWY
My favorite pressed blush of all time so far. The name speaks for itself – it melts into the skin like BUTTER! It's super beginner friendly, super buildable, and gives the skin a beautiful glow.

Buttermelt Blush by NYX
FULL COVERAGE + MATTE
I love everything about this blush. The packaging is perfect, it lasts all day, and is SUPER PIGMENTED. I strongly recommend this blush for a matte look. I couldn't find it at Target, my apolocheese :(

Heart Blush by Colourpop
Cream Blushes
Super blendable and buildable. You only need a tiny bit because it's so pigmented, but it can be blended out to get a natural finish too!
Liquid Blush by Colourpop
This will NOT move throughout the day. The only time I noticed this come off is when I ate greasy truffle fries! It feels so nice on my lips and doesn't try them out, and the shade range is impeccable!
Lip Lingerie XXL by NYX
Contour
My favorite contour product so far. I absolutely adore this formula, especially for warmer skin tones. It is SO pigmented and blends like a dream. You also get SO much product for such little $$$. The only problem with it is I don't think they have s...

FOR COOL SKIN TONES
I adore this contour for cooler skin tones, especially on my nose. It blends easily and lasts all day. I like to blend my nose with my fingers and the rest of my face with a brush or sponge :)

I'll never use bronzer, but the Buttermelt Bronzer in the shade “U Deserve Butta” is GREAT as a contour. Definitely go swatch it in stores to make sure it works for your skintone though!

Highlighters
All kinds of highlights :)
BRIGHT BUT NATURAL
Super affordable. I've had it for 6 months and I still haven't run out. It's very easy to blend and gives a very bright but natural shine.

SO PRECISE!!! You can use this all over your face, but I especially love this for my inner corners :)

MATTIFYING
No surprise here. She's popular for a reason. I have yet to find a pressed powder that I like more than FitMe.

VOLUME + LENGTH
My FAVORITE mascara so far. I swear I didn't have this many lashes before applying this. It's a dupe for the Better Than Smex mascara and it does just as good of a job. The only complain I have is that it dries super quickly so I just heat it up with...

VOLUME
Old reliable. I love the applicator because it gives my lashes such good volume while keeping them separated!

LENGTH + BUILDABLE
Super buildable with a wonderful formula. I especially love it for my bottom lashes. I would compare it to Benefit's Bad Gal Bang!

Liquid Eyeliner
This liner is indeed breakup proof (I know from experience). SO CHEAP and SO GOOD!!! The only thing I don't like is that it dries up very fast, so make sure you shake it well before every use!
Breakup Proof by Wet n Wild
Eyeshadow Palettes
Any eyeshadow palette by Colourpop blows it out the water. SO buildable and pigmented and SO easy to blend. Cloud Spun is so perfectly angelic and pink.

Lipsticks
MATTE
This will not come off unless you eat oily truffle fries! It feels so good on my lips and doesn't dry them out like most matte products do. The shade range is impeccable!

LIP OIL
I am so madly in love with lip oil, from the wear to the packaging. It feels SO good on my lips and blows Dior out of the water for only $8.

I'm not sure why we stopped talking about these but the Butter Glosses are so good and SO cheap. They glide on like… like… like butter!

Very lightweight and very glossy! They taste and smell so good and I ADORE the giant doe foot applicator.

Brushes, sponges, lash curlers, etc.
ELF's makeup brush set is literally all you need. So affordable and does such a great job. The only product I would not get from ELF is the beauty blender – not because ELF is bad, I just am loyal to Miss Sonia Kashuk!

BEST LASH CURLER IN THE WORLD
I will never abandon this lash curler. She is pricy, but I've had her since highschool and she has yet to let me down.

Eyelash Curler - Shiseido
You do not need any sponge other than this one. The texture is so soft and pillowy. This sponge is good for EVERY part of your face. I highly recommend dampening it to make it even more HUGE!!!
Beauty Blender by Sonia Kashuk
I love using these to apply powders! So soft and give a textureless finish :)
