Face
This is my “go to” tinted moisturizer for day time. It melts into my skin effortlessly. It is light, dewy AND it has SPF which is 👌🏼👌🏼!
SunnyDays SPF 30 Tinted Sunscreen - Tower 28 Beauty
I have tried every foundation out there and this one makes my skin - look like MY SKIN- but better. It’s buildable and leaves the best dewy finish. I found that using the “under painting method” works best when applying my foundation.

Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation
This creamy, brightening concealer is one of my favorites because it has hyaluronic acid (which hydrates and visibly plumps your skin) and caffeine (which fights dark circles and puffiness). LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Revealer Concealer | Kosas Cosmetics
If you need a HEAVY duty concealer.. this one will be your best friend. I have covered up a small tattoo with this stuff! 1 tube of this stuff will last me the entire year.. a LITTLE goes a long way. I use this for a few dark spots that I have around...
Bye Bye Under Eye Full Coverage Waterproof Concealer
This is one of my makeup MUST HAVES. If you want that fresh, bright, CONCEALED (covering any dark circles or puffiness) for your under eye- THIS is your new best friend. If you take anything from my lists.. let it be this product!!
Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector - Smashbox
I love that this stick is like a quick little spa treatment for under your eyes. It’s cooling and leaves your under eyes bright. It has the slightest shimmer to it but it looks incredible under makeup!
Rose Glow Brightening Eye Balm | TULA Skincare
I add this to my foundation for a added glow 👌🏼
Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter - Sephora
A perfect dupe for the Charlotte Tillbury Flawless Filter! I love that you get a TON of product and that it isn’t “too glittery”. It adds the perfect glow to all of your makeup/body needs.
Uses:
*Mix in with your foundation or tinted SPF to add a glo...
Saie Glowy Super Gel | All-Over Luminizer | Clean Highlighter
One of the best things about this blush is that it is EXTREMELY pigmented (which means a little goes a long way). The price point might seem high for blush but one of these will last you FOREVER. The colors are gorgeous, it doesn’t smudge or transfer...
Soft Pinch Liquid Blush | Long-Lasting Dewy & Matte Blushes
This is the most effortless contour stick that I have used. The color range is perfect! I use this as a bronzer/contour. It melts into the skin and leaves the most beautiful color! The little brush on the end is my favorite application.. you don’t ev...
SoftSculpt® Shaping Stick - Contour Stick | MAKEUP BY MARIO
I recieved a sample of this and it was my first time trying a “base thinner” and I must say.. I was so impressed! If you want to GLOW but your fav. foundation, skin tint etc doesn’t quite do it for you.. this stuff works wonders - whether you want sh...
B12 Base Thinner Luminous Vitamin Pearl Boosting Serum - ONE
Lips 👄
I can’t leave the house without this stuff!
The ingredients are 👌🏼.
Squalane: smooth, soften and moisturize

This has a “balmy” texture but leaves the perfect amount of sheer color!
Wet Stick - Kosas Cosmetics
These COLORSSSS… 😍 I have tried at least 4 of these colors and all of them are stunning. They leave the slightest sheer color on your lips. They plump, hydrate and add a shiny gloss finish 🫶🏼

Lip stains are the new thing and I’m all about it! I have tried several different brands and these are my favorite!! The colors are perfect and it lasts ALL day. I don’t typically line my lips- I use this to “over line” and then fill in my lips- then...
Lip Liner STAY-N - Peel-off Lip Liner Stain | SACHEU Beauty
Eyes 👀
Morphe eyebrow products take the cake!! They are super affordable, have great color range, stay in place and leave my eyebrows looking flawless!

I rarely wear eyeshadow anymore but this shadow sticks are so effortless and foolproof. Plus they are only $5! Just get them in every color! Your welcome.
No Budge Long Lasting Eyeshadow Stick | e.l.f. Cosmetics

This! That’s it.
L'oreal Paris Telescopic Original Mascara - 0.27 Fl Oz
Setting Sprays💧

Just like the “face glue primer” this stuff works like magic & Its AFFORDABLE. I use these products when I know it’s going to be a long day/night and I won’t be able to reapply makeup 👌🏼👌🏼
The Vegan Face Glue Setting Spray | NYX Professional Makeup
This is a total dupe for the Milk Hydrogrip setting spray. This is water based, good for all skin types and it WORKS. Another affordable option that won’t break the bank! $10 is a steal!

This is one of my fav drug store/affordable options. I love the “spray” on this! It gives you the perfect slight “dewy finish”🌟 and for $11 you can’t beat it!
Make it Dewy Setting Spray: Hydrate + Illuminate + Set | Milani
This is the ultimate setting spray.. the “dupes are great” but this formula just seems to do it all.

If you’re ever going to splurge on a hybrid primer let it be this one! I personally don’t think I would purchase a $95 primer but Tom Ford sent me this and it did not disappoint!! This blurred my pores like nothing ever has! It is described as a “Gel...
