skin prep 🌟
the most crucial step in your makeup is making sure you’re HYDRATED before the makeup even touches your skin 💧
this has become a staple for me. by far my favorite milky toner; the downfall, however, is that I can only seem to find it at target, so if you’re a walmart or ulta shopper but want to try this, I recommend ordering at target.
BYOMA Hydrating Milky Toner - 5.07 fl oz
skin prep is crucial to makeup going on without patchiness or clumping!! i LOVE a milky toner, and this is a drugstore fav.
Milky Hydrating Face Toner with Snow Mushroom and Hyaluronic Acid - Thayers | Ulta Beauty
daily wear 🕊️
the handful of products that allow me to feel beautiful and put together in 10 minutes or less.
this skin tint does exactly what it claims — provides SPF coverage as well as a blurring effect. my pores LOVE this.
EXTREMELY FULL COVERAGE CONCEALER. not ideal if you’re wanting the clean girl makeup but soooo good if you’re struggling with a patch of acne or dark circles.
my fav daily wear concealer. it’s so creamy which is ideal for my dry skin. i have never had a Neutrogena product I didn’t love. the downfall, again, is that I can only find this at target.
Neutrogena Healthy Skin Radiant Brightening Lightweight Perfecting Cream Concealer with Peptides & Vitamin E Antioxidant - 01 Ivory Light- 0.24oz
cheapest and best on the market! only $10 and will last a literal YEAR
the best blush I’ve ever used. only $9.99 and often has a $2-$4 manufacturers coupon if you have the target app. I wear spiced rose and the natural blushy glow is soooo good!!
not going to lie, the first time I tried this was because I saw the word clean and that’s all it took to sell me. However, I do love this and reach for it for a very natural, beautiful lash if I want to wear mascara.
COVERGIRL Lash Blast Clean Volume Mascara - 795 Pitch Black - 1 fl oz
this is such a CROWD PLEASER! never met anyone who doesn’t love this. my go to in high school and college. definitely more dramatic than the covergirl option!
L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Original Lengthening Mascara - 910 Blackest Black - 0.27 fl oz
by far my favorite spray! around $11 and will have makeup lasting through allll the toddler play dates and errands
Milani Make It Last Original Natural Finish Setting Spray - 2.03oz
I use bronzer or blush interchangeably — never both at once personally. But if I want a sun-kissed look, I always grab this affordable gem from Milani
Milani Cheek Kiss Cream Bronzer: Vegan Contouring for Face & Skin - 0.21oz
special 💋
for me, lipstick is not a daily wear. for some, it is. when I do wear lipstick, I reach for this very inexpensive Revlon lipstick in Rum Raisin or Sassy Mauve
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick - 535 Rum Raisin - 0.15oz
honestly I have only ever worn these once LOL i don’t have a lot of special occasions! but i did love these!
Ardell Naked 421 False Eyelashes - Black - 4pr: Hair, Full Volume
again, this isn’t daily for me, but for some it is. I only reach for this if I’m going to be a bridesmaid or something with lots of photos. Gives a beautiful glow beneath the makeup!
L'Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion Glow Enhancer - 903 Medium Glow - 1.35 fl oz.
