Concealer/Foundation/Highlight and Contour
This one is great for when you need a little extra coverage and it’s waterproof! So for those events that you may be sweating about a little bit…you don’t have to worry about your foundation at least!
face tape foundation™ - tarte | Sephora
LOVE this one! Medium coverage, color correcting, AND SPF….what more does a girl need
CC+ Nude Glow Lightweight Foundation + Glow Serum with SPF 40 and Niacinamide - IT Cosmetics | Sepho
When I tell you I use this EVERY day, I am not exaggerating. This makes me go from looking like I got no sleep to completely rested.
20S light sand Shape Tape Blur Concealer Stick - Tarte | Ulta Beauty
This duo stick is great, not only do the shades compliment each other, but it actually SMELLS good. The contour blends really easily too.
Starlit GlowTour Duo Shimmering Blush + Contour Stick - DIBS Beauty | Ulta Beauty
I love this highlighter...I have the "Social Light" shade and its great because its not "too much" sparkle or shine but it gives you just enough boost.
Social Light Highlight Society Powder Gloss Highlighter - Polite Society | Ulta Beauty
So light and does not cause acne on my sensitive skin!
bb tinted moisturizer SPF 30 sunscreen - Tarte
Mascara
I have found that this is my personal favorite for tubing mascara. It stays on all day and you can build on it to really make those lashes HUGE.
MAXIMIST Phyto-Fiber Volumizing Mascara - bareMinerals | Ulta Beauty
Everyone needs a GOOD waterproof mascara. This one has been my favorite….by far! Actually stays on and does not run. And the best part, you don’t have to sacrifice those amazing looking lashes for your beach days ☀️
BADgal BANG! Waterproof Mascara
If you have lashes that need a boost, tubing Mascara is the way to go. You can build on it to make them really pop too! I find this type of mascara way easier to take off too.
Best Tubing Mascara - Sephora
Primer/Finishing Spray or Powder
I have tried so many primers, and this one WORKS. It doesn't cake and goes on smooth to create great grip for liquid or powder foundations.
e.l.f.'s Best Face Primers for Makeup
I do like a matte setting spray and this one LASTS. They also have a travel size too, which I love because most setting sprays are in much bigger bottles so the travel size is great to throw in your purse.
2.9 oz Pore Eclipse Mattifying + Blurring Transfer-Proof Setting Spray - MILK MAKEUP | Ulta Beauty
This setting powder is all I use for my under eyes!!! I LOVE it and it never creases
Studio Fix Pro Set + Blur Weightless Loose Setting Powder - MAC Cosmetics | Sephora
This is a dual fav for me - pore smoothing and sunscreen! Its not too thick and is great to wear every day if your foundation doesn't have sunscreen in it.
Luxury Sun Ritual Pore Smoothing Face Sunscreen SPF 30 - Saint Jane Beauty | Sephora
Eye Shadow/Eye Liner
The GOAT…IMO. I have all 3 versions of this palette and still use them all! They last so long and are so worth the $$$
Naked Eyeshadow Palettes
I have one of the lighter shades and use this on my under eye when it needs a little pop. It compliments a lot of different eye shadows too - matches great with the Naked 2 palette
Brilliant Eye Brightener™
So I have the dark brown matte finish stick and I actually use it as a lighter and more subtle eye liner sometimes when I don't need that full black and dramatic look. I really want to try more colors because I love how long it stays on and its very ...
Long-Wear Cream Eyeshadow Stick - Bobbi Brown | Sephora
This brand switched me from the old fashion pencil style eyeliner to the gel eyeliner. This is a longwear eyeliner and it does last those long days!
True Black Perfect Strokes Longwear Gel Eyeliner - Rare Beauty | Ulta Beauty
I used to live and die by the Urban Decay eye shadow primer, but when I tried this instead I did find that I like it much better!
Photo Finish Intensify 24 Hour Shadow Primer - Smashbox | Ulta Beauty
Make Up Remover
Always have and always will be a fan of this makeup remover 💯
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Collection - Skin Care
I have tried so many different types of face wipes for make up removing and these are by far my favorite. I use these every morning when I wake up too, they just give you such a good refresher and I also like that they are plant based.
Hydrating Makeup Removing Plant-Based Wipes - CeraVe | Ulta Beauty
Sunscreen
I LOVE this sunscreen, no more thick white paste all over your face. This feels almost like a primer and is completely invisible on the skin.
1.7 oz Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50 Invisible Sun Protection - Supergoop! | Ulta Beauty
On those days that you need some coverage while spending the day in the sun, this is AWESOME. I have pretty sensitive skin and get breakouts from certain sunscreen and foundations, but this has never done me wrong.
Protec(tint) Daily SPF Tint SPF 50 Sunscreen Skin Tint with Ectoin - Supergoop! | Sephora
Lips
My FAVORTIE and go to Lip Butter. I got this as a gift so I didn't know how I would like it, but I am truly obsessed. I have it in 3 shades.
Lip Butter Balm - Summer Fridays | Sephora
I love wearing this lip oil on those days when my lips are feeling really thirsty!! This always helps get them back to normal and its cuteeee
Fenty Treatz Hydrating + Strengthening Lip Oil - Fenty Beauty by Rihanna | Sephora
Brows
Honestly, I have tried more expensive brands but I just keep coming back to this one. Stays on all day and the shade matches me perfect.
Neutral Brown Instant Lift Brow Pencil - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
I don't use this everyday, but when I have on a FULL face of make up for an event or any occasion, I always use this to tame the brows and make sure they don't go anywhere. I like that this one is clear because I prefer that over the tinted ones. I u...
0.23 oz 24-HR Brow Setter Clear Brow Gel with Lamination Effect - Benefit Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
